Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for March 11, 2024

She can have my coffee. I can’t have any.

Starter fluid.

Coffee starts the day off right.

I’d remove “don’t”

Aunty’s is clearly a case of arrested development – until she has her coffee, and there are developments leading to arrest!

Coffee is an illusion for myself. It snickers “You thought that was actually going to do something?”

I used to drink 15 cups of coffee a day. Now it’s down to 2. That was not a deliberate choice; it just sort of happened.

At my peak, I had a doctor friend who swore that my excessive consumption would cause an irregular heartbeat. So I abstained from all caffeine for 24 hours and crawled to the hospital. He hooked me up to an EKG and got a baseline. Then I drank a cup of coffee and repeated the test. I went through 12 cups and there was no significant change in the EKG. Everything was normal.

His conclusion was, THAT FOR ME, coffee did not cause an irregular heartbeat. He also gave me a second opinion: I was very unlikely to get a urinary infection; I went the the bathroom about a half dozen times.

Hard to believe that one cup of coffee, which is 99% water, would harm anybody.

It also seems to get people to talk to themselves!

My daily cup of coffee says similar things.

Your coffee knows you so well.

Frappucinoes are more MY thing!

Can’t stand coffee, iced tea or hot tea and water is my choice for drinks.
