What does coffee have to do with books?

Well, I just love sitting down with a nice iced coffee and a great book (I just finished the third Game of Thrones) and wanted to share this great recipe for iced coffee.  Why?  Because it's not easy to find a good recipe.  I know.  I've tried for two years.  I have a great coffee maker - one of those one's that you just add beans and water to once in a while, then push a button and viola, cup of coffee.  Anyway, I tried a lot of different ways to make an iced coffee and finally found one.  I take the Starbucks lightly sweetened instant packet, mix it up, and leave it in the refrigerator for a few hours.  Then, when I want a cup, I add some to a cup of ice and then add that flavored liquid creamer.  They are delicious!  There is nothing better, for me, other than having the kids napping at the same time.  But, since that never happens anymore, I'll take the iced coffee.
Please share any other recipes you've found.  Especially for an iced mocha - still haven't perfected that one.

Am I That Desperate for Twitter Followers?

I have been trying to increase my twitter followers and have been going through lots and lots of users.  I try to choose readers and writers (since writers are also readers).  But once in a while I get someone following me who is obviously just selling something.  I mean we are all 'selling' something but these are the ones who are only selling. You know what I mean.  I don't follow back but twice now I've given in.  I mean one had over 25,000 followers and one had over 100,000 followers.  And they are following me. How can I resist that?  And it doesn't seen like they are dropping people.  They follow almost as many as are following them.  I mean, if they retweet me even once, that's a lot of publicity.
So what's your opinion on these twitterers.  Am I desperate or smart?  What do you do?

And can anyone explain how you are following 900 people, have a couple following you and have just 1 tweet?
