    Do you know how hard it is to stay away sometimes? 😬

    Wouldn’t the better question be how can we make it even harder to stay away?

    If you proclaim that all your coffee is gone, wouldn't 95% of this thread's contributors stay away?

    Coincidentally, aren't I at Starbucks now, about to try the new frozen mango dragonfruit refresher? Has anyone else tried those yet?

    Why does a coffee place feel the need to offer a non-coffee alternative? Didn't we all learn our lesson from places like Burger King offering pizzas, or Taco Bell offering breakfast?

    Why didn't McDonald's stick to their original menu of burgers, fries and a drink (no milkshakes, no hot dogs, no onion rings, etc.? And had they learned the lesson above, would there be Chicken McNuggets, Egg McMuffins, cookies, turnovers, or even... gasp... McCafe coffees?

    Wouldn't I be fine with a Taco Bell egg burrito if I didn't have access to a slew of better independent restaurants for that sort of thing?

    Haven't you heard you should be careful what you wish for?

    Are you really trying to scare me with the idea of a clean house?

    do you know how well i clean? or to what it would cost you?

    Why would you stay away?

    Isn’t it only in an effort to reduce my screen time??

    or people who want to pack a suitcase in under 4 hours?

    Are there people that do that?

    Should I mention it has never taken me 4 hours to pack a suitcase?

    but should I be including the pre packing stage - writing lists of what to pack?

    @cmsienk, with eliminating several social media platforms (along with limiting MFP) haven’t I cut hours off per day? 😳

    Has anyone been to Portland recently? If I have approximately 3 hours of free time to explore the city, what should I try to see or do?

    Don’t you think they’d be more likely to join together to bring you (or at least those who drink coffee) a fresh supply, @nossmf ?

    Hasn't it been a number of years since I've been to Portland, where one of my nieces lives?
    (Wasn't that niece just here for father's day?)

    I've never been there this time of year, but if I were there now, wouldn't I want to check out some of the Portland Rose Festival events?
    https://www.rosefestival.org/events

    Also, isn't there Multnomah Falls, a bunch of McMenamins pubs, Powell's Bookstore, live music, craft shows, etc.?

    Don't I wish we could've gotten coffee and wandered around Portland together? Wouldn't that have been better than going to New Jersey and spending 12 hours in the Philadelphia Airport today? (Lest you feel too sorry for me, wasn't it because I voluntarily gave up my seat for ample compensation? Wasn't it supposed to be only a 3 hour wait until the next flight out? Care to hazard a guess as to how many times my new flight was delayed? Does 5 times seem like a lot?)

    @frankwbrown, while it looks like I missed the art show (why oh why didn’t I skip my conference today???) doesn’t it look like there are still some events tomorrow?

    @cmsienk, don’t I agree that wandering around trying coffee places sounds MUCH better than 12 hours waiting for a flight? If you’d been with me tonight, wouldn’t you have also had the painful decision to decide which donut to choose??? 😅

    @Cat0703a, were glazed cinnamon roll, cinnamon sugar, maple or Boston Kreme among your donut options?

    Didn’t I opt for something I can’t get at home (mango)? And one I could (apple fritter)? 😳😅🤦🏼‍♀️

    😋
    However, should I confess that despite my love of chocolate, when it comes to donuts, I generally opt for something with cinnamon and/or apple? 😋😋
