After talking to Siri this week, decided to drink cup of Tasters Choice coffee ..........
Punishment: ajida! Cracked open CVS antacid/anti-gas tabs-- relief.
Will stick with my Constant Comment for caffeine fix.

Ha
@NRSKarenRN, you are a mess.?
I did not influence your choice of drink. Annnnddd, if I had suggested a choice of coffee, it certainly would not have been Taster's Choice. LOL!
I tried some of your special tea blends once ...... ?
And, that's all I have to say about that. ?
COFFEE RULES!!!

Caffeine Queen, here!
Just found this club. Hope I can find it again. I guess I'm a 'platinum' member?

Well ...... yeah .......
Is there something of vital importance that I've overlooked, @Rose_Queen????
I'm a concrete individual; need it pointed out to me. Maybe we need a "tell-all" topic started. ?
I quite honestly love the honk outta ya even though you don't drink the java joe☕
(don't blame you for not drinking that other stuff).

Well, I have no idea how to use chopsticks, haven’t worn a dress since being a bridesmaid in my sister’s wedding 11 years ago, and then there’s a few other things but I can’t spill all the secrets and take away all the mystery now can I?

Coffee here! ?♀️ I think it all started with Mom's Yuban instant coffee.
I'm not quite sure when I found out tea existed, in fact.
When I got my very first Mr. Coffee with pre-digital auto-start consisting of a little dial, I never really looked back.
I'm not a major cook but maybe a coffee snob? My current coffee maker has a promotional/instructional video with some really cool looking people in it. I grind my own beans and pour the water on them exactly under the boiling point, as instructed.
I recall trying tea with lots of cream and sugar on the advice of a British nurse years ago. It was pretty good for tea. ? If for some reason coffee was unavailable anywhere, this would be my choice.
Like nurseI56, I remember coffee during my childhood. With milk and sugar. I'm remembering dunking a buttered torpedo roll in a morning coffee - one of my best-est breakfasts. I also smoked as a teen, so a breakfast cuppa Joe with my first cig of the day was quite enjoyable. Many years later, I started to drink coffee BLACK - still do. The only way to truly taste coffee.
Some years back, I think I had coffee running through my veins - not blood. I drove around with a coffee pot - I would even pull over at highway rest-stops to whip out my coffee pot and brew up a pot to refill my big Dunkin Donuts thermos (that big pinky/orangey one). Met a great bunch of truckers on the road during those days! I still have that coffeepot.
I have my own coffee bean grinder - dedicated to coffee ONLY. I have coffee MUGS meant for travel - not those nasty drinking bottles. I use a simple percolator - love that thing. Do NOT even mention INSTANT coffee - an abomination!
At the peak of my coffee-ness I would consume about 3 full pots a day. I carried that DD thermos around EVERYWHERE - even had it on my nightstand when I went to bed. I could wake up to hit the BR, drink half a cup of coffee, and then go right back to bed and sleep - NO PROBLEMS.
And that caffeine consumption did not include my drinking tea occasionally, or my diet Pepsi, or cocoa.
I had to have surgery during those times, and my surgeon was worried. Not me. I will admit that the only problem I had was an occ headache if I went too long WITHOUT. I prob should have taken a No-Doze pill, but I'd just make a pot of coffee and I'd be fine.
I have some similar snobbiness about tea too. Next chapter ...
