Kopi Luwak

What the heck? Has Stu lost his mind? No, just verifying some interesting brain fodder. Kopi Luwak is the coffee that makes the current coffee house prices look cheap. Don't rush right out and buy some just yet. Realize that the coffee beans for Kopi Luwak have been through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet which from what I can tell is nearer a cat than a monkey but lives in Indonesia. I've smelled my cat's poo. I've smelled my dog's breath after eating my cat's poo. I do NOT want a cup of this coffee.

Ouch!

Pain is relative. Each of us has our own threshold of pain tolerance. What I find bothersome may to others be debilitating, yet what others find bothersome could knock me down for days. But, I firmly believe that the ones who have it the hardest are the ones who support someone in pain. I was reminded yesterday how much Linda does for me and how helpless she can feel. Yesterday Linda hurt her back. Not just a little twinge, but a knock-me-down, I can’t stand up; I can barely get myself to and onto the toilet kind of hurt. The last time she hurt her back like this was when Daniel was only a few months old. That time the doctors found she had a bulging disc. I am dong what I can to help, which as I am remembering now, isn’t much other than getting things and giving support. Not the way I wanted to be reminded how much she does for me when my pain hits me hard. Ouch.
