I love the smell and flavor of coffee so much that I like it in all forms, other than the actual drink. Candy, ice cream, etc. When it comes to the drink, I take it decaf because of my anxiety and stress issues.

Can't live without my coffee.
I didn't start drinking it until I was 30 and pregnant with my second child. I was so sick all the time but for some reason craved coffee. lol

I'm thinking of quitting just because of the price!! The kind I like is $12 or $13 now, unless it's on sale. That's a bit rich for my blood!!!

I drink decaf coffee. It's one of my grounding things. I try to limit my caffeine intake.

I just have that ONE cup of precious coffee in the morning..just one cup, that's all. It wakes me up, but more coffee would produce other digestive problems that I don't need.

Now if I am stressed or it is "that time" I will steal an ounce or two of extra coffee, but otherwise, it is just that one cup.

I used to drink almost a whole darn pot in a day. I'm much better now and limit myself to one or sometimes two cups a day. On a rare occasion I have three if I need some extra energy for a long day.

Must..... have..... coffee.... or I am in a sleepy daze all day. If I miss my coffee I end up with a headache about noon. I don;t drink a lot though... just one big cup throughout the morning and a small cup with lunch if I am particularly sloggy that day.

Carla I don't know how you didn't stroke out on 2 pots of coffee a day? I drink 2 cups every morning before I do anything else. I half comotose without my coffee. Today I walked my dog without my coffee though. It was okay! The dog stopped about 150 times and so I was able to keep up the pace.

I was going to paraphrase Charlton Heston and his comment about taking away his guns, but it is a bit hostile and graphic.

I'll just say that I like coffee. It helps keep me sharp at work.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
