Oh divinity! Grant me with superhuman endurance and reflexes! Awaken me from the nocturnal melancholy! :grin:

My friends, this is a message from the church of red bull of latter day stimulants:
If you accept caffeine as your stimulant and saviour, you will be saved from the damnation of tiredness
Not me. I try to limit my caffeine intake. I get it from a mug of green tea once a day. It contains half the amount of caffeine you'd find in coffee (which I think tastes vile).

Mmm, coffee. I drink a pot of coffee a day even in 106 degree weather. :twisted:

According to physicals and the blood-drive people, my blood has enough iron in it for me to use it (ie I'm not exactly anemic), but not enough to donate it. I do take iron supplements anyway.
I am apparently not as thyroid-deficient as I will be later in life, so it's not time to take those medications yet.

Good idea to have the tests. Interesting about the anemia; I'm not sure if it's a marker of a problem thyroid, but I've been borderline anemic all my life. I used to go with Vernu to donate blood and after testing for iron, getting turned away and sitting in the waiting room while Vernu donated. HIM they jumped on with little cries of delight and treated like royalty - he's got good muscular type O+. Plus they gave him a biscuit and a cuppa afterwards. Once or twice I managed it by taking massive amounts of iron supplements. Only it took forever to squeeze out a pint from me - apparently I've got genetically tiny veins. My sister is a "universal donar" with the same problem. Her blood is valuable and she's on call but apparently they prefer not to use her if possible, as it takes so long to coax her blood out of her system!

Coffee=good.
Perhaps The Good? (Plato was wrong! It was coffee all along!)
Dante inspired by Coffee to write
Don Quixote spends the entire novel looking for imaginary, unreal Coffee
St. Augustine writes his monumental treatise, The Kingdom of Coffee
Buddhists say that Coffee does not really exist; other Buddhists come along later and say that the transcendent state of Coffee and the besmirched state of Sleepiness are actually the same thing
The Hindus have a myriad of Coffies (Latte, Cappuchino, Americano, etc, and Red-Eye, the god of destruction), but in the end, they believe that each of us is Coffee

Why are so many of you assuming that caffiene is a male deity?

Natalia: Oooooooh, LA Cafeina!!! :grin:
Gareth: So wonderful to see at long last, with mine own sleepy eyes, the elusive soul of the life-giving brew! I shall meditate upon its radiant beauty as I sip my morning libations... :smile:
Unfortunately, the bowing will have to wait till I've drunk some more coffee...I'm getting old & creaky! :razz:

Surely the great God of Caffeine transcends gender?
I also propose that the God of Caffeine is manifest in the Holy Trinity: Coffee, Tea, and Chocolate. I bow before these great entities! (especially the chocolate)

Caffeine doesn't give you energy, it just makes you use up what you have faster.
But there has not been any evidence that up to two cups in a day does you any harm.
Also it is said to help prevent Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

I drink tea the most delicious of all beverages.
Did you know there is more caffine in a ton of tea leaves than there is in a ton of coffee beans!
Such facts could turn this once mighty world on its head!
