Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for September 14, 2022

Oh woe is you

Time to wake up and smell..oh, oh.

Man, that just sucks. However I can check it and set it one of the other times I’m up at night.

Don’t you just hate when that happens?!

Since I don’t drink coffee and avoid all caffeine, this is outside my experience.

I don’t set a coffee maker timer, as I don’t have a set time for getting up & out of bed. Depends on how late I stay up reading the new comics.

Flip the dang switch on and go back to bed.

What’s coffee, it’s that long since I had the stuff I forget. Even then it was instant.

I had a coffee maker with a timer. One morning it looked like it started to have a fire in the back. Got rid of it by turning into the Consumer Product Safety Commission. They actually came out to my house to pick it up, and paid me for it, so they could test it. Since then I will not use the timer function when I’m asleep. Better safe than sorry.

I may need coffee just to be able to make coffee, but no auto-start timer and no alarm clocks. I will get up when I feel like it and that depends on my plans for the morning.

ONE WORD…..KUERIG

I didn’t set the coffee maker ready and boy did I get chowed out the coming morning.

Got an urn an make a gallon or more of the stuff. Just reheat in the microwave. Not a conisewer just want a cuppa or three.

And he ought to have realised earlier… No coffee aroma…

When we had to replace our coffee pot we had simple requirements: simple. No timer, no settings, no wifi, no clock, no radio. Cone filters, one button. It does shut the hot plate off after an hour, but that’s a safety thing. Makes great coffee.

K-cups are quick

Not as bad as setting the timer and forgetting to put in the water or coffee. Of course that would never happen to ME.

So you have to wait 10 minutes.

NO PROBLEM for me. My OJ is already ready in the fridge. I haven’t drunk coffee in forever.Unfortunately my wife is a coffee addict and we have to schedule our lives around that need.

Big deal. 5 minutes.

(˘_ʖ ˘) (˘_つ˘) (((☕))) (⊙ ⌣ʖ⊙)

First thing in the morning I get a Diet Coke out of the fridge. No timer for me!

Yes indeed…but it happens!

Well, not a coffee drinker, BUT, I get up and put fresh water in the kettle. Take my relatively fresh custom blended loose leaf tea out of it’s hermetically sealed container and fill my tea ball. Then I apply hot water to my double walled insulated tea carafe and allow it to steep for precisely 6 minutes. That is of course 6 minutes, ‘metric’. Then I add three teaspoons of raw sugar to the carafe and gently stir it in. Then I enjoy my 1.5 liters of tea in the back garden. And, yes, I do occasionally think about all the people who are not retired.

I set it up, push the button and read the first half of GoComics while I’m waiting.

See, that’s the advantage of waking up with caffeine delivered by a piece of chocolate.

The pain is real.

Ugh. The smell of coffee makes me ill.

life is SO hard

Arlo’s face is the face I make when I’ve forgotten to take out the trash on trash day. I finally set a weekly alarm on my phone.

DANG it!

First World Problem

did that this morning. Arrrrrrrrg

Press the button and come back in 5 minutes. It will be fresher….

We were quite the partiers in high school. We always knew to clear out when the house coffee pot came on… those were the days!!!

But really folks, what is the significant other for? You kick him/her out of bed, they close the bedroom door (softly!), go to the kitchen, grind the beans, put in the filter, add the water and press start. Then when you’re good and ready the coffee awaits.

It’s so obvious.

Yup! Set the timer forgot the grounds. <};o)

The day is shot ere it even begins

The WORST way to start the day!

My US Kuerig makes a cup in less than a minute. Start it, go take a leak and scratch your balls and voila, there you have it…
