2. Dear Coffee,
You know how much I love you. Your color, your taste, your mind-enhancing
chemicals. It seems as though my day is not complete without you. How did I
ever exist before you? Even just smelling your distinguished aromas from
another room is enough to make me want you. Badly. Thank you for being so
delicious. Although at the beginning of our relationship I admit you had to
share room with both cream and sugar, I knew you'd understand. See how
much I've come to love you that I now appreciate your naked nuances? Oh,
coffee. Please don't tell your sister, Decaf, but I find her to be so inferior in
every way, that I cannot stand to watch others consume her. I love you, coffee,
and only you. Until tomorrow morning, my love.
Forever Yours,
Patricia

9. Three out of five people say
โI need a cup of coffee
to start my dayโ
10. If one ordinary cup of coffee is not enough to start
your day, then you can always go for the worlds
largest coffee cup
It stands 6.5 inches tall and 10 inches wide. the
weight ( without coffee?) a whopping 10 pounds
and holds a mere 20 cups of coffee ( Of course,
thatโs only 19 cups if you leave room for cream,โ
the manufacturerโs description says)
12. You can use coffee to fix furniture!
Is that small crack, nick, or gouge all you can see each time
you look at your dark wood dresser? Reach for the instant
coffee. Mix 2-3 tablespoons with just enough water to make a
thick paste; for wood with red tones, add a few drops of
iodine. Put the paste on a small putty knife or a disposable
plastic knife and use it to fill the crack. Remove any excess
around the edges with a barely damp cloth. Let the paste dry
completely, then buff with furniture wax.
13. Coffee can be used to trap cockroaches!
Using coffee grounds to create a non-toxic, very
effective roach trap:
1. Place fresh, used coffee grounds in open glass jar.
2. Add a few inches of warm water; mix.
3. Add a strip of duct or masking tape down the side
of the jar, vertically (so the roach can climb into the
jar).
4. Place jar overnight in roachsโ favorite hang out
(kitchen, bathroom, etc.).
Cockroaches love the smell of coffee grounds. They
will climb into the jar and drown in the water
14. Coffee can be used in your garden!
Coffee grounds fit the standards set by gardeners for
compost materials. The grounds, when mixed with soil,
release nutrients that make the ground richer and more
acidic. Plants that flourish in acidic soil will be healthier since
they can get the needed nourishment from the ground. If you
have a good supply of coffee grounds, just spread them
evenly in your garden. Your plants will reward you by
producing robust blooms.
15. Coffee can be used as a Pet Repellant!
As much as we may love cats or dogs, they can be real pests
when they are always digging up your flowerbed!
Used coffee grounds can be mixed with orange peels (or other
citrus) and spread around flowerbeds for an inexpensive pet
deterrent.
16. Make homemade tattoos using Coffee ( and Henna)
I donโt know about you, but kids love tattoos ( and so do adults!) This is the perfect recipe that is
safe for everyone. It washes off in about a week and yay it is totally pain free!
1 cup water
2 teaspoons of coffee (black tea works, too)
3 teaspoons of sifted henna powder
1 teaspoon of eucalyptus oil
What youโll do:
1: Boil the water. Add 2 teaspoons of coffee to boiling water. Let it rest for a few hours, then use
a strainer to remove coffee grounds. Put henna powder and eucalyptus oil in another bowl.
Don't mix it!
2: Add coffee to bowl of henna and oil. For best results, transfer the coffee in spoonfuls. Instead
of mixing ingredients together, press liquid into powder and oil with spoon.
3: Let paint set for at least six hours, and no more than twelve. You want the henna dye to have
the consistency of toothpaste.
4: Use toothpicks and go crazy with cool patterns. Try applying to your feet, hands and even
stomach. Have fun!
18. "It is disgusting to notice the increase in the
quantity of coffee used by my subjects, and the
amount of money that goes out of the country
as a consequence. Everybody is using coffee;
this must be prevented. His Majesty was
brought up on beer, and so were both his
ancestors and officers. Many battles have been
fought and won by soldiers nourished on beer,
and the King does not believe that coffee-
drinking soldiers can be relied upon to endure
hardships in case of another war."
~ Frederick the Great of Prussia (1777)
19. "A PROCLAMATION FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF COFFEE
HOUSES: Whereas it is most apparent that the multitude of Coffee
Houses of late years set up and kept within this Kingdom...and the
great resort of idle and disaffected persons to them, have
produced very evil and dangerous effects; as well for that many
tradesmen and others, do herein misspend much of their time,
which might and probably would be employed in and about their
Lawful Calling and Affairs; but also for that in such houses...divers,
false, malitious, and scandalous reports are devised and spread
abroad to the Defamation of His Majesty's Government, and to the
disturbance of the Peace and Quiet of the Realm; his Majesty hath
though it fit and necessary, that the said Coffee Houses be (for the
Future) put down and suppressed..."
~ King Charles II of England, December 23, 1675 This rule was
revoked on January 8, due to widespread citizen protest.
20. Coffee: Induces wit. Good only if it comes through
Havre. After a big dinner party it is taken standing
up. Take it without sugar -- very swank: gives the
impression you have lived in the East."
~ Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880)
21. "Coffee leads men to trifle away their time, scald
their chops, and spend their money, all for a little
base, black, thick, nasty, bitter, stinking
nauseous puddle water."
~ The Women's Petition Against Coffee (1674)

41. Considering that I never drank coffee until I was in my late teens, I always amaze myself by
how much I now drink lol!
I would like to thank a group of people who have inspired me to create this slideshare, because
the fact is, I would never have considered doing this if it hadn't been for them!
Adlandpro has been a home away from home for me for many years and I call it the
"unfacebook" because while it has many of the social aspects of Facebook, it is so much more!
It is a place where you can talk about many topics, but the one aspect that you will not find
in many places is the ability to ask questions about marketing, business and internet
marketing.
Adlanpro is a social machine that inspires you to want to blog, to learn how to be social and
to feel like you belong!
I hope that you will visit me and the great people on Adlandpro today and we will have the
coffee pot on and waiting for you!
