Iced coffee is the best coffee variety. Starbucks coffee is so heavenly sinful but they're one of the best around. But I like white wine more. Not saying that I drink it more often but I like its taste. Sugared ones, I prefer; the ones with a hint of fizz in it.

Unlike most people, I prefer the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf to Starbucks, I love their iced coffee, and their teas are superb!
You guys have Starbucks?? Lucky! The entire Western Australia doesnt have a starbucks, very very sad.
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

But honestly, as far as Starbucks goes, you're not missing out on much.
I'm a tourist

Oh, i didnt mean it that way at all. It's only this part of Australia, every part of the world has a land of the ignorant. I live in a fairly isolated place is all. i've been to Sydney and Canberra and find it much more thriving. Before i moved i went to Starbucks very frequently, but now that im off caffeine ill just have to enjoy some herbal tea next time i come across one.So, Australia is the Land of the Ignorant?

Drama, if you happen to have a world atlas that gives a state by state breakdown of the USA, look at Virginia. You may find a small town called "Marion" near the borders of Tennessee and North Carolina, and not that far from West Virginia, tucked into the mountains. That's where I grew up. I live north of Marion now in a small town called "Atkins" which may not even be a dot on the map. To leave my home any way except by the I-81 corridor is to cross a mountain within five miles. We are what people call redneck, hick, backwoods, etc. The fact that my IQ reaches into the 130's doesn't matter to them. I'm hick. Trailer park trash. Etc. Associates Degree in computers, big deal, redneck! Minister since 1982? So what? Hick! I've preached in big cities like Baltimore and Charlotte, NC. Standing room only crowds. Now since I became disabled, I'm a real hermit hick!

I'll look for you there, Uncle Pen.
If you're a hick, Uncle Pen, then hicks are cool! Put in those darned rednecks and backwoods too, for goodness' sake. One question: do you have hen-pecks?To leave my home any way except by the I-81 corridor is to cross a mountain within five miles.

Pen, I never took you for a hick!
You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.

Coolatta all the waaaaaaay!

Aww...dont label yourself Pen! One is not a hick because they live some place, one is not anything unless it is part of their soul. And you have a very sophisticated and witty soulDrama, if you happen to have a world atlas that gives a state by state breakdown of the USA, look at Virginia.
