Title: jitters
Post by: Listener on February 14, 2006, 11:41:14 AM
I think the barista at Caribou put too much caffeine in my drink this morning.  (Campfire mocha, no whipped cream.)  Normally I'm not this jittery.

Can't put too much in.  The tamp only holds so much espresso - so unless you asked for an extra shot - it'll be the exact same amount as any other time you've gotten a drink.  :)

You heard the lady, the problem is with you, buddy.   Don't you know that people who make coffee are perfect?

That's not what I meant.   :P

The machine you brew the espresso on will make the same amount every single time.

Yeah, but the beans are grown, not manufactured, so it's possible that he got too much caffiene.  It wouldn't technically be the coffeee lady's fault, but the word "Barista" makes me have to poop.

One slice of roast beef.  Two bagels (one pumpernickel, one everything).  Cream cheese.  About a liter of water.

That's it.

I thought B12 had to be injected.

Sublingual?  The Vitamin can't speak?

sublingual means you put it under your tounge and let it disolve, or if it's liquid, you just let it absorb for 30 seconds then swallow.  b12 is injected, but that's larger quantities, because the body will only absorb so much via pill/liquid form
