Back in the '50s, well-intentioned housewives were scolded and shunned for pouring their husbands distasteful cups of coffee. In a day and age when the worth of a woman was judged solely on her beauty and homemaking skills, a bad cup of java warranted a good amount of verbal abuse. If Folgers was the secret weapon to fend off a hubby's ungrateful rebuke, no wonder they came to call it "the best part of waking up."
This always feels like my morning, until I get my first cup of coffee my second cup of coffee. (Please don't ever make caffeine illegal, please!) Thanks, Anaisethenry!
You order a small and the smiley face behind the counter repeats your order as a tall, so you shake your head emphatically and point to a small. With an even bigger grin, the barista chirps, "Right, a tall!" Oh, to hell with it all.

Instant coffee that "tastes as good as fresh-perked"? I'm not buying it. Just as I'm not buying the fact that housewives of the 1950s really sat around worrying about ways to improve the taste of their husband's coffee.
This Japanese makers of this coffee-in-a-can have either spiked it with Prozac or not bothered to ask a native English speaker what other connotations "deep pressed" would have. All I know is, I'm totally bummed out and I don't know why.

Crack may be wack, as Whitney Houston so sagely said a few years ago, but coffee inhalers are way cool.
Margarita Vargas, an 18-year-old woman from Richmond, CA (and a graduate of Richmond High) was the lone person who called 911 on the night a teenager was gang raped outside her high school while a homecoming party was still going on. It's alleged that at least 20 people watched and did nothing. Vargas says that her brother-in-law came home and told her he'd seen a woman being raped; it was Vargas who insisted they call the police.
If this sounds like an Oprah question — that's because that's where I found it!
We all have situations that make us feel uncomfortable and self-conscious and times when we are being ourselves 100 percent. I feel most like myself when I can express myself and least like myself when I'm trying to impress someone.
