Dawn in OH Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've never had a cup of coffee in my life. (or tea). I wake up at 6:00 a.m. bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to go. My DH hates me! Haha. No, but even after 25 years, he never ceases to be amazed at how awake I am the instant I am out of bed, and NOT crabby either! Lucky me, I guess. I hate you. I mean that in the most envious way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm allergic to coffee and had to stop caffeine over 20 years ago, so internet is my obvious choice. I get out of bed, take care of the dog, then get on the internet to check my email and visit the WTM boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionfamily1999 Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 When I 'm still half asleep, I've been known to put the coffee grounds in my cup and then add hot water. Doh! Btw, I use a french press so it isn't as bad as it sounds. I just used the wrong receptacle, but it's still pretty sad. I've made it, but forgot to add the coffee. Made it, but forgot to turn on the pot. Made it, but forgot to add water. :lol: I miss our press :( The coffee was much better and it was harder to forget any ingredients (although, I would forget to turn on the stove on occassion).

AHASRADA Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Internet hands down! Of course, I don't drink coffee anyway, can't stand the stuff, and so never got into the habit of drinking it, or anything else, in the AM. I wake up, turn on the computer, pour my cereal and milk, and click through WTM with one hand, cereal bowl in the other :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginevra Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'm sure there's someway to order a coffee on-line. I pick Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Definitely coffee. There are many mornings when I have to drive my daughter to the skating rink while it is still dark outside. I don't trust myself to drive until I have had a cup of coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom-ninja. Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I'd much rather do without internet than coffee in the morning. Internet slows me down and distracts me, coffee gets me going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightly Salted Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 ACK, what a choice! Of course, once upon a time, I didn't drink coffee OR use the internet. Just yesterday, DD was horrified to learn that we didn't even HAVE internet when Mommy was a little girl ... but I digress. I guess ... coffee. I *could* read a book or something, I guess ... :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomLovesClassics Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I don't drink coffee, and as I was voting my internet went out. Our internet goes out all the time, sometimes several times a day. The phone company tells us we are lucky to get it all all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkInTheBlue Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 My answer is unfair because I don't drink coffee. So, I'd have to keep my internet. :) However, please don't take my colas. I'm heavily cut back but I'm just not cutting the out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akmommy Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I can live without the internet. We do it all the time when we go camping and such, but I must have coffee. Don't even think of talking to me until I have that first morning cup in my hand.:D ETA: Without the internet I'd probably get a lot more done.

coffeefreak Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I would drink my coffee and pace around the house not knowing what to do with myself for the first hour of the day!!!!! This was a very scary poll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarlaS Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) I'd much rather do without internet than coffee in the morning. Internet slows me down and distracts me, coffee gets me going. :iagree: If I had to, I could do effective researching, shopping and downloading (stuff like worksheets and pdf curriculum) etc. 2x a week at the library. More effective really as there would be no distractions. ETA: Not like that would be a good idea or anything...

Peela Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I dont drink coffee- I do drink tea though and my morning cup of tea is very important to me- but still, I think the internet would win. Somedays I surprise myself by going for a walk or doing housework before turning on the computer, but normally- it's the computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooblink Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Wow! I'm shocked over how many of you don't drink coffee! I was weened on Kona. If I were to spend the rest of my days on a deserted island and could only take one thing with me it would be a Starbucks store. When I die, toss my roasted ashes over Columbia. Who are you people? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyCrazyMama Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I chose coffee without a doubt. Internet is rarely the very first thing I do in the morning. :iagree: Not quite rarely but my social internet time is later in the day. I often do a quick email check in the morning but by then I have been up an hour or more and have downed a cup or two of coffee already. I typically get less than five emails and rarely anything needs a response so it is very quick. I only do it because ds already has the computer turned on.:tongue_smilie: If I go to any boards in the morning my morning (or day) is usually shot. :tongue_smilie:I try these days to avoid all boards until the afternoon when school and chores are done. I have wasted hours and days online which I no longer think is the best choice for me, yet I still find myself plugged in more than I think I should be. I'd give up the internet for coffee without blinking an eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PentecostalMom Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 Have to go with internet! Coffee is a laxative and my littlest dd has a sensitive stomach. Since I am breastfeeding, she gets a stomachache when I drink coffee. Had to take a leave of absence from Starbucks! Bad for the psyche, good for the wallet! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I'm blaming this poll as this morning our coffee maker died. :lol::lol: It brewed, kept it lukewarm for a while, then it was gone. We did not get a new one today, but I know my blessed dh will go buy me a giant cup of coffee in the morning. So I'm changing my answer, I choose both!!!

Mommy22alyns Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Oh my, that is a tough question! :D In the situation you described, I need coffee first. But if I had to live without one or the other, I'd take the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokotg Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 another non-coffee drinker here! I sort of think of my 20 (umm, or 40) minutes on the internet in the morning as my coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 No coffee here. In fact my dh refuses to call our coffee table a "coffee table" - he insists it is a "tea table"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
