Big step here..my first cup of black coffee. I've developed lactose intolerance over the past few years and oatmeal milk just doesn't do it...i can't drink soy either :) Anyway, it's going okay, it's just instant :)

Morning all :)

I had some "cookies" with mine. they are canadian gluten free biscotti. Tutti is the brand.
8:06 am
sukee
Sounds good. I love biscotti, I used to make it
8:06 am
rururocks
so instead of tea at TIffany's its coffee with Tutti
8:06 am
hokie carla
these are orange and dark chocolate flavor. so good.
8:07 am
sukee
I also got used to tea without milk, that was easy.
8:07 am
sukee
Definitely going to look for Tutti
8:07 am
hokie carla
they are dairy free too
8:08 am
welki
sobey's may carry them, sukee - they have a huge gluten free department
8:08 am
sukee
My intolerance is wierd, cheese doesn't bother me and chocolate doesn't either. It just seems to be milk.
8:08 am
hokie carla
I've only gotten them here through Thrive Market, which is mail order.
8:09 am
sukee
I can eat yoghurt too and a little ice cream

does instant coffee have calfein?
8:17 am
hokie carla
my mom thinks she has it now. my kid however, I think has had it his whole life. we finally took him to a ped GI and they did all the tests and said it was lactose, which was kinda surprising to me.
8:18 am
sukee
So, black coffee might upset my acid reflux...its hard to win

hurshy
two cr6 but those are plurals
9:43 am
BzznBea

9:44 am
hurshy
just because those things are correlated doesn't mean they have a ca6 relationship
9:45 am

1:01 pm
cherlyq
made the halfway point finally
1:04 pm
ItalianGreyhound
Afro should be an allowed word - I mean Fa5/16 is. both are slang
1:08 pm
cherlyq
dont have that word yet and I agree with the afro being a word
1:10 pm
ItalianGreyhound
Had a good friend way back with an afro - his last name was Saint Louis. Never seen that name before or since

anyone have the ca 6, not the one that is opposite of formal ?
4:07 pm
moolingwa
has the same letters
4:08 pm
NANCY
thanks mool, well this is it. the big game for the Bolts.
4:08 pm
moolingwa
yeah, they're showing how to win for sure
4:09 pm
moolingwa
Rangers haven't quite figured that out yet
4:10 pm
moolingwa
Aside from Games 2/3 and 5 have all been very close
4:10 pm
NANCY
will be a nervous wreck with this one. Well, I must say the Bolts have a bit of experience. Hoping we can win at home for the multitudes of fans.
4:10 pm
moolingwa
I of course am hoping for a Game 7 :)
4:12 pm
NANCY
I just read that a Ranger fan Knocked out a Lightning fan at the last game. Yikes, this is poor behavior.
4:13 pm
moolingwa
yeah, I saw a video of it...complete loser
4:14 pm
moolingwa
glad they got him, he deserves to be punished severely
4:14 pm
NANCY
I see he was arrested. He should be.
4:15 pm
NANCY
Agree. Are all Staten Island fans so brutal?
4:16 pm
moolingwa
Well I've probably been to somewhere between 100 and 200 NHL games and I did have one idiot at MSG threaten me as we were leaving
4:16 pm
moolingwa
Also in Philadelphia there's a few yobbos
4:18 pm
NANCY
Geez, it is a sports game after all. Not a boxing match.
4:19 pm
NANCY
I get excited but would not physically harm someone over a game.
4:19 pm
NANCY
Even if I wanted to, there is such a thing as control over yourself.
4:20 pm
moolingwa
yeah, it's dumb
4:21 pm
moolingwa
I've been to a few games at Amalie, not even close to an issue there
4:23 pm
NANCY
we may have some really crazy people in Florida but never have I seen violence with the Bolts fans. Of course, we love our team and love to celebrate but fans seem to respect the team and the audience around them.
4:24 pm
moolingwa
Miami drivers are a bigger risk
4:25 pm
NANCY
Ha, anything in Miami is a big risk. lol
4:26 pm
moolingwa
lived there for several years...not the greatest sports town...and Sunrise is not exactly convenient
4:26 pm
moolingwa
But I'd go and watch the Rangers play up there
4:27 pm
moolingwa
actually my last game I saw in Tampa was Game 6 of the 2015 ECF
4:28 pm
moolingwa
I ahven't been to a game in Denver yet
4:28 pm
NANCY
Maybe if you had seen the last two years of outstanding play you would be a Bolts fan right now.
4:29 pm
Jeff7
ca7 clue pls
4:29 pm
moolingwa
I became a Rangers fan in 1996..since then I've lived in Chicago, Philly, Bay Area - CA, New York again, Miami and now Colorado...pretty sure I'm not changing :)
4:29 pm
NANCY
and we would be rooting for the same team. I do think if we get a chance, we can defeat the AVs.
4:29 pm
moolingwa
Jeff, it's like spanish diminutive for vehicles
4:30 pm
moolingwa
Avs are going to be real tough
4:30 pm
NANCY
only time will tell.
4:30 pm
moolingwa
Though Kuemper is still injured (may be back) and Kadri had surgery on his thumb I think
4:31 pm
moolingwa
I don't think they're unbeatable, St Louis showed that it's possible
4:32 pm
moolingwa
But I've seen Colorado play wide open these playoffs, I've seen them just dominate, and then I've seen them play defensively and deny the other team and then just blow them away
4:32 pm
moolingwa
They are the only team to figure out how to stop McDavid
4:32 pm
moolingwa
so worries, I'll take one Jeff....make mine sweet iced tea
4:33 pm
Jeff7
Spanish though...you get sangria
4:33 pm
NANCY
AND I will have unsweetened please
4:34 pm
moolingwa
okay, will have to make do with sangria
4:35 pm
moolingwa
makes me want to get some mexican food
4:42 pm
moolingwa
17 still left
4:43 pm
NANCY
well i have 115 left so will stop chatting and try to get it done before the big event.
