1. My dear Oeditpus Rex..........
Me and my coffee cup........

I drink out of it once daily, after my breakfast!

And then it goes into the dishwasher......for the next day...

I couldn't vote.........there was no option for me.......:cry:

2. I think you fall under rinse and reuse, Peggy
Technically there wasn't an option for me either, since I drink tea more than coffee, but hey...

3. Hey, billy!
I was thinking that too...

If I had more than one cup per day, that's probably what I'd do!

Check your PM in a few......I have something to ask you, regarding my trip next year!

:loveya: :hug:

5. Tea drinker. My cup has a chip in it but I still use it.
Bought it at the Dollar Store. Sometimes I just have another cup without even rinsing it. So, THERE!

Yeah, I s'pose that's possible. Likely, even.



It's all this coffee-induced self-loathing. :grr:

23. 'My theory, by A. Elk, brackets 'Miss' brackets
"This theory goes as follows and begins now. All brontosauruses are thin at one end, much, much thicker in the middle, and then thin again at the far end. That is my theory, it is mine, and belongs to me and I own it, and what it is too."

"That's it, is it?"

"Spot on, Chris."

"Well, er, this theory of yours seems to have hit the nail on the head."

"And it's mine."

32. I drink coffe throughout the day, so I'm a rinse and reuse.
I do wash it once a day, so no lip crud.

40. Coffee includes Boiling Water
I figure that pretty much takes care of things.

Case in point: A couple months ago I pull out my travel mug for a trip up north. I poured in fresh Hot coffee got in the car and started out.

Got on the highway - took a sip - "Hmm, what is that small hard thing in my mouth?" I wondered. Maybe it was a bit of granola from breakfast. But just before biting down on that granola assumption I decided to take a look.

Nope not granola, some sort of small beetle that had the misfortune to be in the cup when I poured the coffee in.

Oh well, toss the bug and kept on drinking the rest of the coffee. The boiling water must've took care of anything harmful. :)

41. There is a maxim for giving little children juice
"Pour only the amount that you are willing to have spilled."
Here's another one for big kids and adults-
"Use only the number of mugs/glasses you, yourself, will wash."
