GDT: Will I ever Kick My Caffeine Addiction?

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

My neck hurts, migraines suck, but nothing beats a nice ice cold bottle of cola. Is the pain worth it? You bet it is.

Coke Zero is my co-pilot.

 

[TheNumber4]

Our blue line is so embarrassingly bad. Wonder how long until Holland pulls the trigger and ships one of our dead weight wingers for some defensive help.

It could use an upgrade but “embarrassingly bad” is a bit much. And if our wingers are dead weight, how would you expect Holland to make trade for a legit upgrade. Top 4 Dmen still demand a premium in this League.

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Caffeine is good for you. Without coffee, pretty sure I would be dead

Anyway, Oilers going and skinner in net tonight. I like our chances…… maybe….. I don’t know

Just win please!

Funny... I never drink coffee but I'm actually a popaholic. I used to control myself but ever since I became a truck driver last month, people I've delivered to have offered me the stuff for free! Hard to say no! That new dream flavored coca cola is something else. When it's no longer being sold, I'll be sad.

Hopefully this game is more enjoyable than the one on Saturday, Blues played like a dead-puck era team with Jacque Lemaire as coach.

Sorry to hear about your migraines. Have you tried simple magnesium pills as a cure? My son had terrible migraines as a young kid. Then one day I read a story in the Costco magazine. A woman said magnesium cured her migraines. I started my son on magnesium pills and his horrible migraines ended as well.

Oh damn, for real? I will try that then, thanks!

 

[tardigrade81]

Let’s go !!!!!!! Let’s get a win

 

[Rengorlex]

Trust Connor will be determined to break through against the Blues. Get a win here and some good forward momentum for the season.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I’m like a crack head for coffee.

 

[TheNumber4]

Hope the Bane moment for Connor is a turning point on the season and not just 1 game. Oilers should keep it rolling and just come out flying. Goal this year should be to threaten for the President's Trophy, if we win it it's the final step before a Cup in many cases.

Same! I can seriously drink a pot to myself lol.

What did you think of that invented flavour Starlight? Have you tried the new Dreamworld or Marshmello?

Starlight tasted like Dr Pepper blended with Coke. Was sort of gross.

I look at Coffee as more of a symbiotic relationship than an addiction.

I read some books on coffee and it pretty much is. Plants we derive coffee beans from were one of countless plants that were until some point obscure. Particularly certain naturally occurring varieties. But due to the human love for the stuff, and growing plantations of the stuff we take a plant and put it everywhere it can grow. The whole book was focusing on the interplay and human relationship with coffee, and vice versa. Even from a selection pov coffee helped humans to stay awake, alert, or work harder or prosper. Thus increasing their chances of survival so that natural selection of caffiene receptors and physiology, took shape because it was advantageous.

Coffee could be a toxin, and is to many organisms, but humans have an ability to break it down, flush it, metabolize it. Without which perhaps caffeine toxicity might take place. The plants have just enough caffeine to ward of insects, some herbivores etc but no so much that it harms humans to any significance.

I'll be hitting a stiff large coffee to handle watching the Blues again tonight. Last Saturday I had some drooping eyes. I fell asleep completely for one intermission.

I’ll second the magnesium. I added it to my regular preventative migraine meds and it seemed to lessen the migraines in severity but not frequency. Still a help though.

 

[Drivesaitl]

Pour an ounce or two of rum in that cola.

Rum is a pain killer, and cola was prescribed as a pain killer in the late 19th century.

That gives you centuries of kicking ass

I would try this but I got a Covid booster + Flu vaccine chaser just yesterday. The recommend just getting these darts at the same time now. Not sure what a great idea that was. I have a mild grade body ache. But stomach impacted too. Can be side effects of either flu or vaccine.

Rum and Cola will have to wait for tomorrow I fear.

I take magnesium citrate. Have for the last 5yrs. I had muscle cramps, soreness and sometimes cramps so bad a thigh or calve would cease up. I used to be addicted to work outs and I think related. I was basically taxing out any Magnesium in my system and the body and muscle groups need it for ideal function. Just 150mg/day has alleviated all the problems. Its like magic.

Yep. I Probably do drink a pot or more of coffee every day.

I’m not a coffee snob at all, in fact I abhor the idea of paying 7 or 8 bucks for some crazy foo foo coffee that I get zero increased satisfaction from.

Maybe a poll question for @Cloned but I’m curious what everyone’s go to coffee is.

Not a fancy dude, I love McDonald’s coffee. I buy one every day here in AZ because it’s on my daily walk, I grab a medium and then sit in the mid morning sun and just soak in the day. I wouldn’t walk across the street for Tim Hortons, sorry Tim. I wouldn’t take a free Starbucks if you handed it to me. Coop gas stations sell Van Houtte blends and they are very good as well.

I never had Starlight. (gonna have Madonna stuck in my head now lol) I've seen the Marshmello stuff at 711 but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. I intend to though it sounds interesting! Dream flavored is the bomb though.

As for the game, I really don't know what to expect. I don't think they'll shut us out however.

Probably like a few of us on here, magnesium is just one of the daily vitamin supplements that i down with my morning coffee, lol!

I love McD’s coffee and I don’t mind Timmies. Im
Not a big Starbucks guy. It’s expensive and the people there always are weird.

Hopefully the blues play looser at home

 

[Gregsky99]

I dare the government to take away our coffee.

Don't tempt them...

 

[Not Canada Drai]

Don't tenpt them...

Can't imagine the home fans would be so eager to drop tickets on two hours of dead puck bullshit. Carolyn Cameron

Did anyone realize they make coke can with coffee mixed in them? Haven't tried yet, but I might if I need to drive for hours one day
