My old pastor used to say we ALL think we are the exception, but I had to laugh because the guy does make a point.
However, I don't plan on removing the mention of my love for coffee out of my sidebar, because while I am one of millions who enjoy a good cup of coffee, not everyone has a husband who knows coffee like mine, and managed a coffee shop, and can make that cute little heart pattern on the top of their lattes. And perhaps I mention the coffee not to set myself apart, but to join myself with the millions? And lastly, (and then I'll hop off) I most certainly DO NOT appreciate poorly roasted coffee. Starbucks would fit in that category (although if you catch me there it's because you can't really taste the coffee once it's mixed with cream, caramel, etc.) but I'm not judging. The man God gave me...he gave it to me, and I did drink...
I though this commenter said it well:

As a card carrying coffee loving Christian I must raise a small objection. There’s “liking” coffee, and there’s liking coffee. For some people, even those who list coffee on their online profiles, coffee is that powdered stuff you add to water and stir. There are those for whom “coffee” means a drink that has been rendered unrecognisable by the addition of syrups, sauces and sweeteners.
For others there’s an obsession that extends to roasting beans at home and owning ex-commercial machines.
There needs to be space for the latter to declare their love/obsession/addiction/snobbery. How do you suggest these coffee savants do that?

LOL.
Brite-I can't get to the article for some reason from your link.
And I just got back from Starbucks.
And I liked it.
Mostly because of the person I was enjoying that treat with.
I've benefitted from SEVERAL Starbucks gift cards from you, Jonesey, so don't think I'm ungrateful. I heart their drinks. <3
that is exactly why i like tea. so much more unique... hee hee hee
Is it just me and Jonesey or does the link not work? I feel so out of the know.....:o)
The link didn't work for me either. But if you copy and paste it into the browser at the top of the page it works that way. Just not to click it. Hope that helps.
Fixed the link...works for me, but I'm not sure what the deal is. So sorry!
So, what is it when people are down on coffee lovers who add cream and sugar? there is nothing better than coffee with heavy cream and just a touch of sugar. how is it not coffee anymore? i don't get it.
although, I guess you could say you love water, but if you add lemon and sugar to it, it's no longer water. now you love lemonade. hmm.
It works for me now
