Welcome to The EX Café Saturday 02.11.2017
Good early morning, EXers!
There will be times when the cafe' opens early - a couple of our baristas are very early risers and we want to make sure we're open for business for any of you who want to pop in before the sun pops up. We may standardize the opening time in the days to come, but until then, it's safe to assume that the cafe' will always be open by 7 am.
Happy Saturday! Just a few quick updates that are noteworthy: shashort posted an update; it's so nice to hear from her and find out that her quit is still strong. She has another surgery late next week; please be sure to send her good wishes. mikecity continues to heal after his mugging, and sounds better every day. The cafe' continues to grow as a central location for all of us to say hello and connect, and in the case of new quitters, get to know the community on a more lighthearted level.
If you have read or know of other important updates, please be sure to post it on here so that others may be made aware.
I don't know about you guys, but I am ready for coffee.
Let's DO IT!
Susan
Good morning, Darren!!
Firing up the juicer now. We stocked up on organic produce so that we can make these when anyone wants them.
I am making you one of my (real life) favorites today..... I add a pear and fresh ginger to this, too. Since you just ran, I am also adding a bit of full-fat yogurt to get you some protein.
Enjoy!
Susan,
Looks great! Fabulous opening statement you just made. I love the links in the recommended contents section. Did you put those in there, or were they already populated? You will have to show me how in a Barista stream later...Anyway, as for me, I will be going into the office at about 6, and I will sign on from there. Right now, I just got done brewing up my first pot of standard strong cowboy coffee. (the good old standby)
And that's the way this "old biker EX" gits his murder runnin'"
Pops
And that's how you do it, Pops! I loved your comment to Sharon - I actually got a little choked up! I just love this community and the love we have for each other.
The "important updates section" is just a comment. When you open the cafe', just post a reply with any information you want to get out there.
Good luck at the office - hope your work day is quieter than yesterday, We'll have the coffee on all day for you.
xx
Wow! That is just perfect! Thanks for starting us off right
Great idea Pops! Do you mind if I grab a cup from you after my yummy smoothie?
I brought my own cup
No problem my friend...but hey, I know those juices can get the gasses flowing sometimes, just remember we are close to the fire here, so....
not within 50 feet anyway.....
Pops
OH NO!!!!!!!!
You guys are just too much fun. What a crew. Pops
GM EXers wow you all are so Happy go lucky people, think i would like a cup of coffee and think i'll take mind away from the fire lol
I don't blame you! I am trying to stay away from it myself.
yes that fire sure would feel good right now but don't want to fly anywhere right now lol
Man, it's good to get here this morning after my walk on the beach.
Actually, I was scoping out the new volleyball pit. That was a great idea, Mortalzeus!
When I first walked in the door I saw the notice board, susan_m, and it looks great. Thanks for getting that idea rolling.
It's so nice to see everybody! How you doing, Pops? I'm going to sit down over here by the door with a big ol' mug of the cowboy coffee of yours so I can say "hi" as people stop in.
Plus, I can get away from that smell. What is that? Smells like ... oh, never mind.
I saw that coming!
Ha ha ha ha....don't look @ me...Darren comes over after drinking Susan's concoction, mixes it with my "Cowboy Coffee", and well you know the rest.....
So do NOT look @ me!
There were 172 pledges so far this month at The Daily Pledge February 2017 when I stopped by this morning! Wow!
I'm going to have to put that on my list of things to do each day I guess....I never got into it much with all of the other things going on in the beginning, I just sort of blogged, rode the train, read blogs and called it a day. I now have the cafe' added to the list, guess a pledge also won't hurt. The cafe' is running pretty good this morning. alot of views, not that many comments yet...I think the fire smell must have kept some of them from opening their mouths...I thinks we are going to have to put a no farting notice up on the board....
Other than that, things are pretty smooth right now.
Good Morning everyone! Happy weekend! I like my coffee with vanilla creamer. I could use some motivation to get out for a run.
Hey Barista! Thanks for getting some more healthy breakfast options on the menu today, susan_m. I am enjoying my potato boat with lean turkey bacon. Thanks!
c2q That's on the average of 16 pledges per day! WOW! is right! ~Terrie~ That's the most that I have ever known of!
Good morning Nestly! Here this should help to get you started....
How are you doing this Saturday morning?
Morning Susan on my way for a quick jog! Smoothie time when I get back!
