Someone made a comment once about Americans totally thinking you are mad if you don't have a drivers license.

You've probably found another thing that people expect everyone does.

I've learned how to make the appropriate conversation, especially the days I keep working after working in the night. I like the taste of coffee and I like drinking it in the morning and the usual times but I don't really notice it "waking me up" like people talk about.
(Sometimes I find myself not falling asleep so I try to be careful abut having coffee before bed)

I'm sorry you had to stop caffeine for health reasons. Is tea forbidden as well? (if you ever liked tea)
