The caffeing is good -- but it's a ritual!Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05404943895800549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28991344.post-63877569523802278472009-03-02T13:32:00.000-05:002009-03-02T13:32:00.000-05:00I think I have issues with caffeine too at least w...I think I have issues with caffeine too at least where headaches are concerned. Either that or my headaches are completely hormonal. I haven't quite figured it out yet, but regardless they suck. <BR/><BR/>I watch American Idol too. And the Amazing Race sometimes. And Survivor. And well, you know about my current love affair I've got going on with the 30 Day Shred. Me and Jillian are BFF's!SJINCOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145386056147611628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28991344.post-52326259037794480412009-02-27T11:31:00.000-05:002009-02-27T11:31:00.000-05:00I tried cold turkey once on the caffeine - I now c...I tried cold turkey once on the caffeine - I now consider it a torture tactic! A few years ago, DH was told to cut back/out the caffeine, so we tried the weaning approach by mixing decaf and caf coffee in the home pot. Sub one scoop of decaf the first week, two the next week, and so on. It does work, and you avoid the throbbing headache!<BR/><BR/>We cut cable back to basic 4 years ago (basic is only $11 a month). We get DVDs (movies & series) from the library and Netflix, and watch other stuff on Hulu. We also cut the home phone back - local only is $19/month with no extras like Caller ID, and with medical issues in the house, we have to have a phone line). We don't have anything extra on the cell phones. Next is the home garden...WorkingMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401988118652082969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28991344.post-68354958448886672312009-02-26T03:57:00.000-05:002009-02-26T03:57:00.000-05:00I'm trying to wean myself from the caffiene and it...I'm trying to wean myself from the caffiene and it's not going well.
