Oh dear.  DH must be very particular about his coffee.  My husband was too and insisted I never made it right (even though I made it the exact same way he did).  So I let him make it himself.  He said the same thing about the way I cooked any meat--that I always ruined it.  Fine with me, I let him cook all our meat!

I have no suggestions for you about a coffee alternative.  I can't drink it anymore so that's solved my coffee problems.

I hope you can find a solution that will please him.🤞

@geezerette : Thank you. Totally agree and understand. I told him: give me the money and he said ok.Just frustrating. 

He is very picky about his food but refuses to cook. Now when I order from Uber Eats : I ask him to give me 1\2 of the money. He prefers Chick- fil-A. It's expensive. The seasoning for the chicken upsets my stomach and I don't like the taste of their grilled chicken. Gets expensive when I have to place two  different delivery orders for us to eat and averages $50.Ok: rant over.

Enjoy your day.🤗❤🙏

@geezerette : After a lot of research went on the keurig website and they had the Keurig  K select on sale , best price available and made purchase. Praying this will solve the coffee maker problem. 

Started putting the other cabinet together. I need DH to help me put the middle section on the base. He is watching tv.

@PamfromCT @cowboy sam @geezerette @Yahooey @gloriajean . Praying that everyone is doing great. The third cabinet has been finally finished.

Received sad news yesterday. My elderly friend that was like another mother to me has passed. Several years ago her family removed my name from allowed visitors and all of her previous church friends from the nursing home and no gifts or delivery allowed from us. Totally heart broken. I assumed when she passed that no notification or published obituary. Totally shocked when her oldest daughter sent me an email yesterday. She passed 5/1/25 and was 102. Stated obit to be published next week. This family member is famous for saying something but doing something totally different.

So all of my elderly former church members and my mother's friend have now passed.Fact of life and considering that I am 70.

Our favorite local seafood restaurant that has been in business for over 50 years has closed. Owner stated since covid it has been extremely difficult to keep the necessary 30 employees daily to open the restaurant. DH has gone there on Friday to get us something to eat and note on door: Full staff not available today to open. Owner hoping to sell and train new owner with his family traditions and recipes.

New coffee pot delivered late yesterday. I opened box , cleaned and set everything up. DH stated he loved the coffee. I told DH that if he later decided he doesn't like it: You will do the research and purchase the next coffee pot: I have retired from the coffee business.

Enough for one week.

Enjoy your weekend.🤗🤗🤗🤗❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Announcement!: 📣 

@SouthernBee is out of the coffee business!  I love it. 😆

I am glad your DH loves the coffee, though.  I hope he continues to do so.🤞

But I am sorry to hear of the passing of your elderly friend.  You're right, as we age we should expect many of our dear friends and family to pass on.  But even if we know this logically, emotionally it's very difficult to handle.

I have a sister that was just diagnosed with what is basically terminal cancer.  Hopefully the treatment plan she is undertaking will give her a little more time with us.  But to realize that this person that I have known all my life and is the last person on earth that I can confide in unconditionally will be gone from my life is very painful to even think about.

So I can understand how you feel.  💔

[SouthernBee]

@geezerette : I am so sorry and totally understand. I will be praying for you and your sister.🤗🤗🤗❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@geezerette 

So sorry to hear of your dear sister's diagnosis.  After loss,of parents, losing a sibling is like losing a part of yourself.  I wonder if your sister lives close to you.  If not, I am sure you will find a way to spend time with her.  

The only way I know how to deal with heartbreak is to pray for 

guidance and support.  I know you will do this, and I will also ask that you are given support during this very tough time.

All my best,

@SouthernBee 

Glad to hear you are getting so much accomplished.  
And DH now makes his coffee?  I am impressed.

Sorry to hear about your friend.  And how sad that her family put such sad restrictions on her contacts.

Who can figure some people out?  

And when a favorite restaurant closes?  Well, I don't take well to that either.  Especially when they have something special.  One I went to a distance away closed - they were known for their huge popovers.

I still haven't recovered!

Take care!
