I blame ThePokerKeep for my Mocha Latte addiction!

[GFPC]

LOL that title sounds bizarre. But I was meaning to post this for a while now.

A while back I read or heard Terry (ThePokerKeep) speak about Starbucks coffee and how he loves it so much.

I think it was discussed in the Niagra Falls thread, or at the falls convention. He had said I believe the Mocha Lattee was his favorite. Venti mocha lattee for like $5.09 a pop....

Well since then I decided to try it, a couple at the falls, and while picking up Pia in the mornings we have Starbucks... she has the Signature Hot Chocolate and I have the Mocha Lattee.

Well it all started with 2 -3 per week. No harm done. But then i decided to buy a Starbucks card... then all hell broke loose.

I am at 4 a day... that is 4 Venti Mocha Lattes. For a total cost of $20.36.

Per week - $142.52

Per month - $570.08

Per year - $6840.96

Now give or take some days I will only have 2 or 3.... I still estimate it cost me at least $5500 - 6000 a year in Starbucks for Mocha Lattes.

Hey Terry wanna Mocha Latte? - my treat!!!! Lol

I will drive one up to you sometime!!!

Any time sir, lol

You are even more hooked than me. I have a couple a week and settle for Tim Hortons at other times.

If I spent $5,000 a year on Starbucks, my wife would divorce me.

Hey... $5,000 is probably cheap for a divorce... be back soon, going to Starbucks... LOL

Next poker game (and yes there will be one, promise) we'll do the Starbucks run!

[GFPC]

Hey good idea,

I also have a Tim Horton's card. Good idea because seriously I drink way to much of those lattes... LOL.

Maybe i should invest in a machine and make them on my own....

Pia won't divorce me... not yet anyway..... were still working on 10 10 10.

Your invited!!!!

Bad news to much coffee is bad for the waste line and bad for you cholesterol....

2 cups a day of normal strength coffee, how can you kill great coffee with all of that junk in it, it should be hot and black end off.

Your right Shaun..... I need coffee rehab. Mind you I am a slim guy.. but i do have some love handles.... lol.

So today right now I am going to drive to Starbucks and get a plan Latte. No mocha in it. This is giving me some anxiety, but i know i need to do this...

I will report back how the withdraw symptoms go...

Off to Starbucks!!! and get into some road rage races with taxi drivers. I like chasing taxis who cut me off!!! LOL
