one can only delay gratification for so long. mmm, spicy non-fat sugary rush.

OMG! they don't have sugar free this year! -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:07 5
- I usually ask for easy on the flavoring -- nm - con_carne Nov 24, 23:03
- they didn't last year, either (at least here). that's one reason for my virtuosity thus far. -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:10 3
  - I don't remember last year. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:21
  - pure as the driven slush - giganto Nov 24, 22:11 1
    - I am just that dirty. -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:14
stay strong, lady! -- nm - starving african orphan Nov 24, 21:50 25
- okfine, none of my mom's most excellent stuffing for you. -- nm - b! Nov 24, 21:59 3
  - i guess i'll just settle for a handful of rice, like every year -- nm - starving african orphan Nov 24, 22:02 1
    - go earn it for yourself. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 24, 22:04
  - pfffft... Do it. Have yourself a huge gingergerbread latte. Treat yourself. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 22:02
- There MUST be a Starbucks near you too - they're freakin' EVERYWHERE. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 21:52 20
  - I'm 1,000 miles from the nearest Starbucks (and for once this is without being 1,000 miles from the nearest city). - mafic Nov 24, 22:14 1
    - hmmm . . . "The Starbucks Kid" -- nm - giganto Nov 24, 22:15
  - oh sure, but i'd have to work 25 years to be able to afford one -- nm - starving african orphan Nov 24, 21:58 17
    - They intimidate me. Seems like there should be some kind of instruction manual on how/what to order. -- nm - MojaveMeg Nov 24, 22:01 12
      - heh, some of the coffee houses I went to back in the pre-starbucks days (god, that was a long time ago) were much worse. - mafic Nov 24, 22:28 6
        
        re: im - I looked that up some time ago when it came up elsewhere. - b! Nov 24, 22:32 5
        
        see, this kind of conflicts with my experience of them. most flat whites have foam (but less than a latte), and generally one shot of espresso - mafic Nov 24, 22:39 2
        
        way too complicated, and that's not even including sizes. :) - -- nm - b! Nov 24, 22:44 1
        
        the sizes are pretty normal, but there could easily be regional differences. - mafic Nov 25, 02:02
        
        vanilla bean has no coffee my nephew loves them. -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:36 1
        
        I was talking about an Australian thing. here. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 24, 22:39
      - I order S/M/L. screw the italian sizing. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:23
      - we can do this...lets figure out what you like and you can have your order ready before you go in the store :) -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:03
      - they used to have flyers along those lines in their stores. haven't noticed them for a while, though. there are some guides on the web. nm but: -- (link) - b! Nov 24, 22:03
      - I refuse to order "tall" or "grande" when there. Medium. I'll have a medium. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 22:03 1
        
        I order 12 oz drip. Whatever that store's sizing system, they'll get it. -- nm - psilotum Nov 24, 22:13
    - It's important to have a goal. Otherwise all you do is lay around with a distended stomach all day whining about being hungry. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 24, 22:01 3
      - isn't that what you do all day? -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 22:39
      - don't forget letting the flies crawl all over my face, especially near my eyes -- nm - starving african orphan Nov 24, 22:01 1
        
        and the mosquitos with malaryia... -- nm - Stacy Nov 24, 22:04
