I saw a strange/ disturbing thing at the Social Security office yesterday:

So, the waiting room was full and I take a number and sit down. About ten minutes later, in walks a tiny little east asian girl wearing the following: hot pink micromini skirt, red knee-high stiletto boots, a lime green tube top and a silver and gold bomber jacket (it's cold here right now). She looks about 15 but I'm guessing she was probably closer to 19 or 20 because of what she's wearing and who she walks in holding hands with - a disheveled man about 45 years old.

The man tells the security guard he's there to get her SS card and is asked where his receipt is. The man immediately starts getting annoyed, "I don't have a receipt!" After being told he needed a receipt or would have to re-apply, he continues to get more upset and yell. By this point, everyone in the waiting room is staring at him and his scantily clad partner.

They take a number and take a seat. Over the next 15 minutes, the whole waiting room watches and listens as he coaches his wife (I'm assuming) in English - "SO-SHALL SE-CURE-ITEEEE" She looked frustrated and scared and he just looked mean.

I obviously started assuming a lot of things about this couple and this man...

I felt bad for the poor girl...

check out the VJ gallery to see if you find a match!!

My coffee tastes extra good today. I put coffee mate in it. I just love that sweet, creamy powder.

Bleh (spit spit)!

Please do not, I repeat, do not follow Trailmix's strange ways....with coffee.

Good morning, everyone!

Speaking of coffee, I'm having one as I read this forum. Ever since my detox/cleanse, I've been taking it black. I used to like it milky and sweet but it's true, once you go black, you hardly go back.

Flames, you should be ashamed of yourself. Repeat the REAL FRIEND MANTRA:

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS

FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS GO TO STARBUCKS

Sheesh.

And I think I am fillowing Mrs. trailmixique's ways with coffee --- I do take mine with brown sugar and half'n'half. I know, shame on me too.

[Flames9_RN 358]

ya, sometimes I add brown sugar!! i was told they do that quite a bit in Colombia!!

Ok that might excuse ONE visit to Crapbucks flames, but you need to STOP.....

Ihad a friend recently visit a few South American countries! I am stocked for coffee for the next year!! Sent back boxes and boxes and boxes of coffee!! One would pay like $10-15 for coffee here, there was like $2!!!

[SpiritAlight 1]

Yup 2 bucks...as it should be.

Coffee only tastes good with brown sugar or a good unpasteurized local honey.

I say "local" because it assists with allergies and has other health benefits.

I love coffee!

Yes, and good organic coffee does taste good black.

I just like my decadent coffee recipes.

YUM YUM YUM

:star:

Oh man, I am sooooooooooooo jealous. Just remember that unless it's air-tight packed, coffee is usually "good" for six months --- otherwise it looses its oils and flavor. This from your friendly neighborhood barista

[Flames9_RN 358]

ya baby,its tightly sealed!!! And i have double locks on my doors!!

Oh ur a barista,which Starbucks do u work at?
