USMB Coffee Shop IV

You guys just don't know how to shop correctly.

Shopping for a man is defined as item hunting. For women it is the absolute best combination of price, quality and uniqueness. It seems overly time consuming, when in most cases you will need to buy another pair of jeans or hamburger at some point.

Oh really? What if I was shopping for some catnip?

I'd question your cooking?

What do you mean? It's my secret ingredient. Oops!

Good morning everybody. Just got up. Not happy about it. Coffee will help. Attitude adjustment shortly.

Thanks sweetie. I have had some coffee, a caramel, contemplating brunch now. . . feeling much more like myself.

 

[Ernie S.]

I am alive. I have had one cup of coffee. I am not near civil enough for the Coffee Shop (yet). I'll go out on the board until I've had cup #2.
Listen for the screaming and avoid confrontation at all cost.

 

[Montrovant]

Apparently today is national Hug Your Cat Day. Where's save?

 

[ChrisL]

Save? Where are you? We need to hug the USMB kitty cat!

Well if you want hugs, you'd better wash your paws!

Well in addition to Hug Your Cat day in the Coffee Shop, we should note that June is National Rose Month. While roses are not my favorite flower, there is something really special about them:

Last Friday, Hombre's volunteer supervisor presented him with a pink rose place in water in an empty plastic water bottle. He brought it home--it was already fully opened up. We placed it on the kitchen table where it still is and still looks just as fresh as when he brought it in six days ago. I don't expect roses still in the bud to last that long--at most 3 or 4 days. This one is hanging in there like a carnation. Amazing.

And for some of the very best lyrics put to music ever:

Yesterday we were discussing lookalikes. Here is Tom Cruise with his new (cough) assistant:



And his recently ex-wife Katie Holmes:

Edit: Wait, maybe that top one is Katie? Not sure, but if so then the caption on the story I stole it from was very misleading. But this one is definitely Emily, the 'assistant':

 

[Foxfyre]

I wouldn't have thought a New England girl would be a Bret Michaels fan.

No way! They look like twins!

 

[ChrisL]

I wouldn't have thought a New England girl would be a Bret Michaels fan.

I have very varied tastes in music. I like a little bit of everything, except maybe country, but I'm sure there are a couple/few country songs that I would like too.

 

[ChrisL]

I also tend to be a fan of specific songs rather than bands, generally speaking. Of course, I do have bands that I really like most of their music though, but that's kind of rare for me. Usually I only like a few songs from a band.

Yeah, that has to be Katie on the top picture. That woman on the bottom picture doesn't look as much like Katie.
