Health advocacy groups are petitioning the FDA to ban methylene chloride, a chemical compound used in the decaffeination process. Here's what you need to know.

Well, if it's going to make you kick the bucket anyway, you might as well drink the coffee that will prepare you for the long trip to Gloryland, and that is "the heavenly coffee", "Chock Full Of Nuts".   (I know that sounds like the demonicrat party, but it is also the name of the heavenly coffee.)

I’ve seen Peets. I’ll have to try it in bean form if available. Decaf sucks. Dunkin’ Donuts bean has gotten me off grounded Folgers but I want to try other brands. Beans are hard to find in any brand. I remember when I could grind my beans in the store. Smelled so goooood.

I have to live almost forever because no-one else would put up with my b*tchy kitty who bites when I don’t grant her every wish the moment she demands it. Neighbor has a 22-year-old cat, and Daisy is only 7. Her cattitude sux.

Never adopt the alpha of the litter.

“I will never get avid coffee lovers. “

A strong cup of coffee is a great remedy for a headache... and a prophylactic against headaches in general.

It’s the price.

That Peet’s coffee is the only coffee I’ve found that is really really good if you follow the label directions and use two tablespoons per cup. Rich as hell. I thought that that two tablespoons was a scam till I came across Peet’s.

Here's what you need to know.

People who use that sentence should be flogged.

“Or drinking 3.2% beer.”

or 1% < beer.

Except that tells us you drink beer BECAUSE of the alcohol.

In other words you drink to get drunk.

NOTHING good comes from getting drunk.

All forms of alcohol should be avoided. You don’t NEED it.

If you do, seek help, you NEED help.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will have to try it!

[Allegra]

I will never get avid coffee lovers. I may have a cup once a week. I know people who drink 6 or 7 cups a day, and make Starbucks rich.

I have a couple of cups of coffee every morning and it’s not Starbucks.

Like several others on here, I don’t drink decaf. What’s the point of that stuff? If I want a non-caffeinated drink, water, herbal tea or fruit juice will do.

Target has it on sale...$7.99 rather than $10.99. Picked up 4 bags today.
