The first week of my holiday was wiped by third bout of mysterious thing in similiar department. Think I should also consult doctor. Not really wanting too. Anyway- give up the coffee, it would only stain the Julia teeth.magsmcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278148796772565928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-48472825776792782922012-07-15T21:10:33.437-07:002012-07-15T21:10:33.437-07:00I love coffee, especially with some cocoa thrown i...I love coffee, especially with some cocoa thrown in, but I don't drink it every day, and the days I do, my tummy is not as happy. Can you have cocoa? You could make it really dark, with not much milk or sugar...or, sometimes I make "black cocoa," that is, just cocoa powder and hot water. I think it is way easier on the digestive system, and it gives you some kick.GretchenJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641677400029070452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-81318319596105175102012-07-14T07:22:28.662-07:002012-07-14T07:22:28.662-07:00I found you via my friend Debbie's blog... I h...I found you via my friend Debbie's blog... I had to give up coffee several months ago for the same reason, and my response was the same. In fact, I feel pretty groggy right now after only one cup of tea! I told my doctor I couldn't give up tea, and I've actually come to enjoy my morning tea habit (tea used to be for the afternoon), and I don't miss the coffee at all. In fact, when I try to drink a cup of decaf now and then I can't finish it. It's just too acidic for me. Now, I'm headed to make another cuppa!Katy Sammonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12077480412380285480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-13769864056397780732012-07-13T19:23:29.084-07:002012-07-13T19:23:29.084-07:00You mentioned your morning anxiety.

A certain NC friend introduced me to it. It's Earl Gray but a little on the feminine side. I feel like I'm reaching out to my lady friends when I brew a cup. When I want to feel healthy, Twinnings makes a good green tea. Since I was a teen, I've found Constant Comment to be soothing. A bit of spice but nothing crazy. I don't enjoy fruit teas at all, but I know friends who do.<br /><br /> Caffeine gives be ridiculous headaches. Artificial sweetners like Splenda do too. I avoid both at all costs. I try not to be holier than thou about it. It's truly self-preserving that they are nixed from my beverage roster.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196717975204396575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-90076168869783603822012-07-11T13:46:01.998-07:002012-07-11T13:46:01.998-07:00I don't drink coffee - I don't like it.

Such a shame - Dh owns a coffee company. He's starting to roast his own blends. Wish I liked the stuff! No, I'm a die-hard tea drinker I'm afraid.<br /><br />We're just about to begin packing the car to head back home again after our mid-year winter holiday. *sigh* It's been lovely to be in a place where winter is nice and sunny and the temperature necessitates the wearing of shorts and t-shirts.<br /><br />Back to Melbourne...where it's rainy and cold.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-30213902497732313142012-07-11T08:17:48.158-07:002012-07-11T08:17:48.158-07:00Oh gosh, no coffee?

My husband has crooked teeth and I cannot imagine him without them, so I know what you mean about liking your teeth the way they are. If you are having problems though, it is probably better to try to fix them.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14016303700981928418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-11702558326973392412012-07-10T15:24:42.812-07:002012-07-10T15:24:42.812-07:00I hope you continue with your decaffeination.

I gave it up once (yes, because of a really bad stomach thing we couldn't figure out) and I did take delicious naps during that time. <br />I'm glad about your braces. I had the clear ones and people really didn't even notice much. <br />Summers are usually a surprise, you're right. How's your garden? Are you going to the pool much?Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-15356882569130842112012-07-10T11:45:57.050-07:002012-07-10T11:45:57.050-07:00I've been having a bit of an odd tummy of late...I've been having a bit of an odd tummy of late too and THOUGHT about giving up coffee, but decided I couldn't bear it. I have one decent cup a day and tend to stick to tea the rest of the time.<br /><br />The braces thing, I covered as a teenager. Though one of the school gate Mummies has just had some put on - hers are white though and really not too noticeable on her teeth. But I will miss her gap when it is done.Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723377593068712400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-41005227749096268402012-07-10T11:45:38.587-07:002012-07-10T11:45:38.587-07:00My summers never turn out the way I expect/hope/pl...My summers never turn out the way I expect/hope/plan either.
