~*~ Good days, Bad days, And tizzy days between, Happy days, Sad days, And days That make You scream! Soaring days, Boring days, And days that Make you glum, Flying days, Dying days, And days That make You hum! Calm days, Frazzled days, And days of In between, Laughing days, Crying days, Depending on Caffeine! *** Moderation is the answer, Temperance is the key. Three daily cups of coffee, Or three daily cups of tea. Kick the caffeine habit, Get rid of all that strife. Take control of your emotions. Take charge of your own life! ~*~ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (07-14-2003 02:57 PM).] |

Darn...you sound like my doctor. I drink way, way, too much coffee. I think you wrote this for me, EA... My doc told me coffee is bad for my heart. I tried to argue with him, but he shot me down. Smiling at you! I was just going to make a fresh pot, too. Patricia |

Sweetie, I gave up a 40 year smoking habit; I don't even take one glass of wine anymore and now you want me to give up my 2 cups of tea a day? Nope, not going to happen! Some things you just gotta have. And tea with Sy and Enchantress each morning is a must. Sending calm hugs to you ... |

Pat ~ I believe in moderation--but I'm not always moderate myself! I have been known to give into extremes! LOL What prompted me to write this poem is the fact that one of my friends drinks at least 14 cups of coffee daily--with two spoons of sugar in each one! She's addicted and it has wreaked havoc with her health. Yep, moderation is the key to a balanced life! Hugs 'n smiles, Linda |

Sue ~ I have given up caffeine before, but I have really missed my tea--and besides, the antioxidants are believed to help some forms of cancer! So, I reasoned my way back into drinking tea again! I also enjoy the herbal teas as well, but good old orange pekoe is still my favorite! Warm hugs, Linda |

Marti ~ I drink 3 cups of tea a day! I'm not an advocate of obstaining completely! Temperance is the key! I have a friend that drinks at least 14 cups a day! I do not believe that your 2 cups and my 3 cups will hurt us--in fact I have read that that is healthy for us to do so! Anyhooo, it's excess in anything that causes havock in our lives, that's all I'm saying. Enjoy! Maybe some day we can have a nice chit chat over a hot, cup of tea--or two or three! tehe Luvin' hugs, Linda |

Oh thank goodness I can keep my tea. Smoking two packs of cigarettes a day for all those years, now that was in excess! Thankfully, I'm over that habit! But, if I were to find out that smoking was not harmful and offensive and stinky, I'd smoke again in a second!!! Some habits die hard ... |

Oh, Marti, ciggy puffs really are stinky, harmful and offensive! So please don't ever go back! I smoked when I was younger, but everyone said it didn't suit me! LOL I wanted to look cool and grown up back then but I was told I looked like I should be sucking lollypops instead! --so that's what I do! Nothing like a reformed smoker, eh? LOL Luvvums, Linda |
