Its because caffeine blocks the neural receptors through which andenosine (the chemical which tells you your sleepy) passes through. After a while the andenosine builds up behind the caffeine and the pressure un-blocks the neural receptors and andenosine floods your system suddenly (this is a caffeine crash). I would guess that Schnapps used to be a coffeeholic because the more often you crash the quicker it happens until caffeine no longer effects you

Cool, thanks Dr Garbledeenie :)

I assume this would also apply to the copious consumption of caffeine in chocolate form? I drank a fair amount of coffee at uni, but nowadays I'm purely a tea man. But seriously, I did and can still consume a ridiculous amount of choccy. Before coming back from Glenelg last week, I bought $120.00 in choccy from Haigh's. Not all for myself though.

Its hard to tell with chocolate because of the high level of carbs and all the other effects it has on the body.

little Jack Jack and I went to a big nursery yesterday and bought more seedlings for our bucket garden - while there, we wandered through a community art gallery and viewed lots of abstract art

it was very vibrant, multi-media - quite stunning. i asked JJ what he could see in the paintings and he responded with lots of ideas - turtles, trees, people, colours, all fairly concrete ideas - we talked about which ones were our favourites

then I saw a painting that was abstract and just not very good - dull and bland - but i didn't want to bias JJ's response so i asked him what he could see in it

he stared at the painting then walked off saying over his shoulder,

"I can see....it." Made me laugh, that was pretty much my opinion, too.

Yes, yes I believe you did say free. As a matter of fact I can see it written right there, before the "("

took Dash and JJ to see Monsters Vs. Aliens - my kind of kids movie (even if they did get Reece Slitherspoon to voice the lead character)
