    Since I seem to have learned something new today, does that mean I get to go home now?

    Dessert, nothing... aren't the majority of Starbucks drinks close to a full day's worth of calories in a cup? Rather than serve sandwiches to the homeless, couldn't we just deliver Starbucks to give them all the calories they need to survive?

    Are you mathematically challenged...

    Considering my degree is in astrophysics with a masters in space systems engineering, would you believe I found this idea vastly amusing?

    And though exaggeration may have been in order to say ALL Starbucks drinks, don't you have to admit at least SOME of the drinks there do in fact contain at least 500 calories, and depending on additional syrup shots added can in fact top 1500?

    Don't I have a long-time friend who exaggerates a lot, and so I'm quite used to it? 😏
    Did you realize amusement was my intent in saying "mathematically challenged", and aren't I pleased that I succeeded? 😃

    Didn't my previous post start off more seriously addressing the question "aren't the majority of Starbucks drinks close to a full day's worth of calories in a cup?" So, in way of admission, won't I include my earlier thoughts here (although I've really no interest or desire to engage in debate on the matter)?

    Won't I readily admit that "at least SOME" of the drinks are "at least 500 calories"? But SOME and ALL are vastly different claims, are they not? Isn't the most costly (calorie-wise) Starbucks drink of which I'm aware the Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino which is 480 calories for a Grande (16oz.) and 590 calories for a Venti (24 oz.)? Aren't there others that are close to that? But don't I doubt that anyone would add enough extra shots and toppings to cause it to top 1500? 🤔

    So does that mean I am in disagreement with a rocket scientist on this matter? 🤣

    Isn't John McPhee a great author? How does he manage to educate and inform while still making it personable and interesting, seamlessly blended facts and personal stories? Aren't these a few of my favorites of his...
    • The Control Of Nature
    • Encounters With The Archdruid: Narratives About a Conservationist and Three of His Natural Enemies
    • Coming Into The Country
    • Oranges
    ... and aren't there others?

    Wasn't I voted most likely to succeed in high school? How will I know when I have, in fact, succeeded?

    Isn’t your presence here what marks your highest point of success so far?

    How can I resist an email with a title like this "frankwbrow $.1θθ could be yours today!.."?
    I mean, isn't junk mail offering the sum of $.100 worth checking out?
    (wasn't the strikethrough part of the email title?)

    Wait, I don't understand, are you suggesting that going to Starbucks is bad?
    Do I need to mend my ways? 🤣

    Well since you’re buying and calories don’t count virtually, may I have a venti espresso Frappuccino with skim milk and 3 extra shots of espresso (totalling ~285 cal)? 😍

    Won’t that give me the kick in the pants that I need this morning? 🤣

    @frankwbrown do you mind if I answer you other question here since it’s hard to answer my day’s plans in one word? 🤣 Did you know that not even I can be that succinct? 😅
    Hasn’t my house been sadly neglected with my long days and late hours recently? So isn’t first, to clean the bathrooms? 🥴 And have I shared that I spend Fridays with my dad and isn’t it looking likely that I’ll be cleaning those bathrooms too? But isn’t the cherry on top that my sister and her husband are in town so the whole family is coming to his place for dinner and this is the first time the family has been fully together since my mom passed almost one year ago? Don’t you think this will be a much happier occasion? 🥰

    See how it was hard to narrow that down to one word? 🤣🤣🤣

    Do you know that except for all the bathroom cleaning, your day sounds infinitely more enjoyable than mine?

    Your day won’t be filled with happy laughter, good food, and thoughtful memories that may make you tear up but the smile never leave your face?

    Do you know you have my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother? 😢
    Didn't I think you would be resourceful enough to answer that seven-word question with more than one word?
    Aren't I also having part of my family--my brother and sister-in-law--for dinner here tonight?
    Aren't I trying to decide between Chinese and Thai (neither of which I will be cooking)?

    (Don't I agree with @cmsienk re: the less enjoyable part of your day? 🥴)

    Wasn't I just now wondering, after getting notified by MFP that I've gotten 100 Insightful's, just what it was I said that someone thought was insightful? Didn't I lack the insight to know what that was? But wasn't it nothing I said but this instead?

    Isn’t it tradition for us to have Chinese when we are all together? Will you join us virtually? 😄 You too, @cmsienk?
