Well over 12 hours for me, since I don't eat anything after 4PM.

I try not to eat anything after 7
eat at 6pm then wait until 6pm

I give you credit.   That is not easy to do- at least not for me.  

[FearlessF]

easier for me than an exercise routine

[MrNubbz]

Exercizing the elbow count?

I've known many two-cuppers.  You're the only three-cupper I can think of.  You might have a problem. 

I picture a guy wearing what may be a scarlet "O" on his t-shirt, but it's hard to tell because he's shaking so bad. 

Make it a little weaker,you're nuts if you follow instructions  from Companies. At least 1 maybe 2 tablespoon(s) to 1- 6 oz cup I use 1 heaping t-spoon to 1- 8 oz cup

and he spilt coffee on his t-shirt!

happens it's not Beer

[MrNubbz]

only time I drink coffee is on a cruise ship with bailey's in it.  Otherwise morning drink is Diet Mt. Dew

I suppose the next trip is to Chernoble - that Bilge is turrible

Got back from my mom's funeral. 

It was the first time I've been in the same room at the same time with *all* of my siblings since 2012, when our grandmother died.

Have you ever had that sort of relationship where no matter how long you've been apart from people, it's like you pick up exactly where you left off like no time has passed?

Yeah... My siblings and I are kinda like that. 

The dysfunction didn't miss a beat.

I heard a comedian one time say something like "Christmas is that special time of year when the whole family gathers together, to remember why they only get together once a year."

First, condolences.

second, I feel like it’s often that way with family. You have trouble not seeing them as whoever they were a long time ago.

I feel like sometimes you have that moment with friends. Where you see someone for the first time in a year or two and their life hasn’t changed in your mind, but clearly it has in real life.

[MikeDeTiger]

I don't have many close friends, but the ones I do, I'm fortunate that they're all people whom I can go for literally years without seeing, and we always pick up right where we left off.  Nothing awkward, nothing uncomfortable, just like putting on a broke-in favorite pair of tennis shoes.  It's not that their life hasn't changed, and in my case it changed quite drastically sometimes.  But the stuff that counts the most--the people we are inside, our interests, memories of our favorite times together--doesn't change.  

But that probably goes in the happy thread.

Yep. I have friends like that. Hell, I should probably say hello to them soon. The two that come first to mind happen to live about 2000 and about 3000 miles from me... But they're the type that time apart doesn't loosen bonds. 

Not so much with my family. 

[MrNubbz]

You you can pick your friends but not your family.We're all on pretty good terms except it took 20 some years for my dipshit brother to dump that bitch of misery ex of His. Once their kids got out of school they realized she gave credibility to the rumor Eva Braun made it out
