Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[Pendragon]

I'd feel honoured to !

Coffee -and- coke ? Wow, you're all very daring as to your taste buds! The normal coffee and the normal coke taste on their own both suffice to make me sick. And the only chocolate that I really can't stand is coffee flavoured one...

Now why did I know you'd say something like that, Cookie?

If you think Coffee flavored chocolate is bad, try coffee flavored hard candy, or as a friend used to say "Cold Nescafe".

[kathycf]

Nooooo! Those are great! My nana got me hooked on them as a kid. You just have to remember to brush your teeth after because they are sort of sticky.

Now why did I know you'd say something like that, Cookie?

Because you are well aware that I happen to like you dearly ?

If you think Coffee flavored chocolate is bad, try coffee flavored hard candy, or as a friend used to say "Cold Nescafe".

Uaa ! *shudders* If ever I get those for Christmas, I'll mail them over to you, Kathy !

3 cheers for Cookie!

Nips are okay --- coke blak is not so much.

Some view points.........

• If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away. If he doesn't want you, nothing can make him stay.
  
  
• Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
  
  
• Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache.
  
  
• Stop trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not meant to be.
  
  
• Slower is better. Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
  
  
• If a relationship ends because the man was not treating you as you deserve then heck no, you can't "be friends".
  
  
• A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Don't settle.
  
  
• If you feel like he is stringing you along, then he probably is. Don't stay because you think "it will get better.” You’ll be mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not better.
  
  
• The only person you can control in a relationship is you.
  
  
• Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. He didn't marry them when he got them pregnant, why would he treat you any differently?
  
  
• Always have your own set of friends separate from his.
  
  
• Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up.
  
  
• Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later.
  
  
• You cannot change a man's behavior.* Change comes from within.
  
  
• Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job.
  
  
• Do not make him into a quasi-god. He is a man, nothing more nothing less. Never let a man define who you are.
  
  
• Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you.
  
  
• A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you.
  
  
• All men are NOT dogs.
  
  
• You should not be the one doing all the bending...compromise is two way street.
  
  
• You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship.
  
  
• You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals...look for someone complimentary...not supplementary.
  
  
• Dating is fun...even if he doesn't turn out to be Mr. Right.
  
  
• Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted.
  
  
• Never move into his mother's house.
  
  
• Never co-sign for a man.
  
  
• Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.* Keep him in your radar but get to know others.

Where would I find coffee flavored Pepsi? I am curious but not sure if I would like the taste of it? Is it good?

I've had coke black and it wasn't so great: (or rather coke blak)

mmm what flavor is Coke Blak? It looks...interesting!!

[kathycf]

I like your quote Maddie, some very sage advice.

Vintage, Coke Blak is a combination of Coke and coffee. Whether that is a good or bad thing depends on your point of view.

So, here is a trivial question for the ladies. If you are going on a trip and only have room to pack 2 beauty related items what would you bring? My vote is for sunblock and lip balm.

[Nightshade]

Never move into his mother's house.
.

even I know that one

Slightly revised

With my most sincere apologies, Maddie!

· If a woman wants you, don’t expect her to tell you. If she doesn't want you, trust me, you’ll be the first to know!.

· Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior, you’re too busy explaining your own!

· Allow your intuition (or spirit) to save you from heartache. (Un-huh. The same intuition that causes a woman to say when SHE calls the law over a domestic dispute and is obviously injured, “Don’t lock him up. He didn’t mean it. I love him.” Better get your intuitions checked and dump the jerk!)

· Why are you trying to change yourself for a relationship that's not working, for crying out loud?

· Slower is better. Never give anything to anyone you can’t get back before you find what makes you truly happy.

· If a relationship ends, then let it END. No, you can't "be friends". That’s a disaster waiting to happen!

· A friend wouldn't mistreat a friend. Darn right! Friends do “pressure” friends either.

· If you feel like he/she is stringing you along, then he/she probably is. (Boy, there’s a revelation from on High! Next you’ll notice he/she likes you for your body!)

· The only person you can control in a relationship is you. (Ever heard of “hormones”?)

· Avoid men who've got a bunch of children by a bunch of different women. Or women with a string of kids by different fathers. RED FLAG!)

· Always have your own set of friends separate from his. (And a tip. If he/she finds his/her friends more interesting than you, drop him/her like a hot potato!)

· Maintain boundaries in how a guy treats you. If something bothers you, speak up. (Preferably loud enough to attract the Police.) (And men, if something about the girl bothers you, make an exit on any excuse!)

· Never let a man know everything.* He will use it against you later. (Oh, yeah, like a woman wouldn’t! Ever heard the hit song Girls Lie Too?)

· You cannot change a man's behavior.* Change comes from within. (His wallet. You’ll never change his ways. Or hers either, for that matter!)

· Don't EVER make him feel he is more important than you are... even if he has more education or in a better job. (A good point. Equal rights and all. Heck, tell him you can open your own darn door!)

· Do not make him into a quasi-god. He will do that on his own. Never let a man define who you are. You know you are a Goddess!

· Never borrow someone else's man. If he cheated with you, he'll cheat on you. (And vice-versa,)

· A man will only treat you the way you ALLOW him to treat you. (And if you don’t allow him, he probably will find someone who will. And a woman who wants to be treated like cut glass will eventually find a man who is willing to do so. There are men who will be a doormat for a woman to walk on as well.)

· All men are NOT dogs. (They have ran with the pack at some time or other, however. All women are not frigid, either, but they have some experience with the old cold shoulder.)

· Compromise is a two way street, with “one way” signs pointing toward each other.

· You need time to heal between relationships...there is nothing cute about baggage... deal with your issues before pursuing a new relationship. (I.E. Men or women: your next date doesn’t want to be your crying towel!)

· You should never look for someone to COMPLETE you...a relationship consists of two WHOLE individuals (I.E. Dating is a means to an end, and that is a relationship, not a one-night stand!)

· Dating is fun...(I take it you have never been shot down in front of others before…).

· Make him miss you sometimes...when a man always know where you are, and you're always readily available to him - he takes it for granted. (He doesn’t take it for granted, girl, he OWNS you! Get out before it’s two darn late. Same for a man. If she’s got to know your every move, scram!)

· Never move into his mother's house. (Unless you are married and then only VERY BRIEFLY. No house was made for two families.)

· Never co-sign for a man. (Or anyone is my word on that!)

· Don't fully commit to a man who doesn't give you everything that you need.* Keep him in your radar but get to know others. (FOO! Drop him and move on. If he doesn’t get the picture pretty quick, he never will. Same for a girl. If every time you have a date she is invariably late, quarrelsome, or on the phone and hangs up quickly, drop her. She is still fishing, and you aren’t quite what she wants.)

Nobody is on the shelf...sheesh. And you are what, 19 or 20 now? Guess what, 26 or 30 isn't exactly elderly. Get a grip, girl!

Oh, ok, I see you have. Hormonal panic, eh? Ooops, sorry.

[Nightshade]

well it is if you are an egyptian I mean cripes I had a guy ( selling me a ticket to get into the international book fair I didnt even know him or anything!) try and get me to talk to a matchmaker when I was 14 course there she was yelling at the man all " what are you doing I dont even know who she is, she might be anybody" in the end I threw the money at the guy and ran...

[Madhuri]

Interesting points, Pen.

Kathy -- I will keep some soap/facewash and a moisturiser.

[Virgil]

Nooooo! Those are great! My nana got me hooked on them as a kid. You just have to remember to brush your teeth after because they are sort of sticky.

My mother eats them all the time too.
