Ahhhhhhh. First cup is always the best. And it's my own blend.

ˈher-ə-ˌtik, Function: noun Date: 14th century 1: a dissenter from established religious dogma; especially a baptized member of the Roman Catholic Church who disavows a revealed truth

2: one who dissents from an accepted belief or doctrine : nonconformist

First it was the WOW and then the Tanners led me to the truth. What a relief that someone had done the work to show us the way regarding things we always knew were suspicious.

Now, LC, the difference between me and The Prophet is that I am a very good shot.

The ONLY one?

A personal blend. You must have really missed out on coffee all that time, I'm impressed ;-)...

Indeed not drinking coffee would be my first suspicion, something just ain't right about that.
