'Visions link' to coffee intake

[divingbiker]

Hmmm, I guess I'm the oddball. I haven't had coffee in years, and never really liked the taste of it, but I like the ritual of drinking something hot in the morning so I have either Postum or Cafix (another fake coffee). Doctored up with soy milk, it hits the spot.

What's the joke?

Now THAT'S funny.

someone above said it was a joke. is it not a joke? I need an intervention team! quick!

Ruh roh, is Raleighdon halucinating? And if so, about whom or what?

[Biciclista]

I'm not telling, but hallucinating could be dangerous on a long bike ride.

[jobob]

Well, keep an eye on him. And have the straightjacket & the padded cell ready.

Oh, you mean the whole article that started the thread!
I thought maybe something happened with RD and coffee that was a joke.

I just had a good latte while waiting for DH to pick me up after I mailed some snowshoes. I don't *think* I'm hallucinating. But you never know- I'm having my period (oh the horror) so I might just pull a "Son of Sam" and think the cats are telling me to kill the neighbors.

We shall await the news reports.

I like this bit from the article:

However, academics say the findings do not prove a "causal link".

They also stress that experiencing hallucinations is not a definite sign of mental illness and that about 3% of people regularly hear voices.

So it might be that people who have hallucinations are more likely to drink seven or more cups of instant coffee.

from Raleighdon:

On my way in this morning, having only had a triple shot of espresso before leaving the house, I envisioned a flock of butterflies picking up my bike and carrying me aloft over the Duwamish Waterway. That was pretty far out, I thought to myself, so figured I'd stop at Cafe` Umbria and have another dubble shot. About halfway up the - I wish this damned pesky spider would get off the keyboard - hill on Western, I passed an entire Tour de France race team. I asked several of them for their autograph after I went by them, hollering "ON YER LEFT, SLOWPOKES", but all they did was flip me off. I waited at the top of the hill, and one of them got off his bike and folded it up into a little square that he placed carefully into his billfold before following me into Starbucks, where we both orderered 4-shot grande mochas, and had a rousing discussion about some recent study about hallucinating due to consumption of over 7 cups of "instant" coffee. We were both very grateful that we only drink the real thing.

I'll give up my coffee when you pry it out of my cold dead hand.

But I don't have a problem. I could quit anytime I wanted to.

Excuse me while I go fill up my quart sized cup

See? It's his natural state.

Today, we discovered another local roaster in this fairly small town. I've lost count of the total, especially if I tried to include those in the really small surrounding "villages."

Instant coffee is drinkable?! Wow, who knew!
Im allergic to coffee but if I could hallucinate a lycra Lance Armstrong stopping over with a free Orbea , and offers of cuddles or hey, scratch that - BEATING Lance!! Id happily take the symptoms!

I drink roobois tea when its cold, for some comforting in morning..I miss coffee but I hear its REALLY bad for women( from my naturpath and virologist)


My Dad drank instant( god know why) and when I tasted real coffee,I almost fainted.
