latte ~= cappuccino

[meganursula]

If i wanted a short drink with lots of foam, i would ask for one. I do not.

I don't understand why all the new baristas for this semester fail to see the distinction. Were they all trained by the same incompetent person? I've had to start requesting 'no foam', and being disappointed when i forget.

I am not in the mood for that this morning, especially with my new restricted latte rule.

Also, my last good albuterol just ran out. I'm down to the environmentally friendly versions. It is okay, but i'm going to miss the hit.

How does the new differ from the old? (and how can you tell?)

thx

assuming inhalers: The propellant was changed. I am not positive of the specifics, but, my understanding is that the medicine is the exact same thing, but that the propellant was changed so that it is more environmentally friendly. (I think the old one had cfcs or something?)

The literature says that all studies showed no change in effectiveness between the inhalers. Studies showed that the new inhalers need to be cleaned more often (no big deal - its just rinsing them out), and that it was more important to use them correctly (again, not a big deal - i've been using these things for 25 years), but that the effectiveness was the same.

Thing is, NO ONE that i know who has made the switch likes the new ones as well. The propellant feels weaker, so you can't feel the spray enter your mouth and throat. Additionally, with the old one, you can feel the effects immediately opening your bronchi. With the new one i don't feel that.

My rescue puffs do stop my wheezing eventually, and my preventative puffs are too subjective for me to really quantify the effects. But, when i come in from a cold bike ride with tight lungs, i want to feel that immediate relief, and i don't.

assuming baristas: this being a university we get a new batch each semester. Of course i recognize those who have been around for a while. *grin*
