Pluggers by Rick McKee for March 24, 2025

Never had the latter problem, there’s always room for coffee (cribbed for Jello),

That’s actually been happening to me lately! I take a couple Tums after my morning coffee.

‘They’ keep saying switch to green tea, so I did.

Most days I only drink one cup of coffee ….. Thus no problem ;-)

Why yes of course it can be unbearable.

Or the too much coffee/can’t go to sleep! Took me nine hours to get three hours sleep Sat. night! Last night no coffee! Slept 8 3/4 hours.

No such thing as too much coffee.

Don’t have that problem as I drink tea, mostly Green Tea.

True.

How’s the coffee at the BP gas station?

Huh? Really? I don’t recall getting a headache from either. Then again, I’ve never drinken… dranked… consumed a lot of coffee.

A pot of caffeinated coffee in the morning does me just fine for the day. If I were to drink as much barista juice as I do my own coffee, I could thread a running sewing machine.

Withdrawal symptoms

I always finish off the pot, I don’t like to waste anything. It’s always a mistake, but I do it anyway. I’ll never learn.

Caffeine withdrawal is REAL…

half-caf espresso no milk

Tea is responsible too!

I’ve never had the “no caffeine headache” problem – I just don’t fully wake up, & I’m likely to take a 3-hour nap after lunch. (Luckily I’m retired.) My Former Sig. Other got HORRIBLE headaches if he didn’t have his morning coffee!

I used to drink black coffee (as in no sugar no milk, not espresso which called same by husband’s family) when I was a teenager and into my twenties. Then my stomach decided it was not happy with it and I had to stop drinking it. Husband never drank coffee or tea.

I used to make coffee on the 2 or 3 times a year we had family in for dinner (Thanksgiving being once of the times) so I could make coffee for the few who drank same – but no longer have anyone in.

I do have a jar of instant coffee – don’t know how many decades old – guess it another old food item in the house which should be dumped out.

I do drink a mug of tea every day – though I forget which of my many medical conditions it is suppose to help. Since none of them has gotten worse I guess it helps.
