In reply to the discussion: By substituting green tea for coffee I've lost 80% of [View all]Linda ladeewolf
(985 posts)28. I love my coffee! I don't care for green tea.
So Im stocking up. I have 12 pounds of coffee at least in my freezer, another 8 to 10 pounds in the cabinet. Also stocking up on my favorite teas. Stocking up on chocolate too. As well as sugar and my sweeteners. Going to try to go on as long as possible. If I have to, I will have blackberry tea and sassafras growing in my yard as well as mint and perhaps chamomile.
I had to have my septic system redone a month ago, and the man that dug it out, very kindly took out, my out of control forsythia bush, Ive tried to get rid of for years. It cleared enough space, I can put some garden beds out there too. Perhaps my mini green houses too.
I feel compelled to do something to help myself even if it not very much.
