I went to the Dollar Store Sunday to buy dad a few Word Search Puzzle books. Then I also found this mug for $1. I hate the regular sized cups so this was a given for me to purchase. It's equivalent to about 1 1/2 regualr sized cups. I hate the small cups as I drink a lot of coffee. This is now my new fave mug. For awhile at least. Noone else in the house ever uses my big mugs. EVER! Hahahaha!!And yes I did get the books as well. Do you have a favorite cup/mug you use for your coffee/beverages? Does anyone else use it in the household? HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Hubby and I have several big coffee mugs in which we use first because we're big coffee drinkers. Haveing the regular cups as well but we have to get coffee more often than the big cups plus I'm a bit slower at drinking it so I have a coffee cup warmer much like the candle warmer and it keeps my coffee good and hot! LOL

Hi GRANDPA BOB! Yes, I do have a coffe mug that only I can use and so is my husband. And when I was still living with my parents, each one of us have our own mugs too. My father's mug has an inscription that says, "GREATEST DAD", my mom has "GREATEST MOM" on it, my two brothers have "GREATEST SON" on each but they differ in color, mine has, "GREATEST DAUGHTER"...and now my mug says, GREATEST WIFE and my hubby's mug has GREATEST HUSBAND"...I guess, we're a family of GREAT PEOPLE! haha.. take care and have a nice day always. :)

Hi GRANDPA BOB! haha..actually the kids are content having their names printed on their own mugs. If grandkids will be printed instead, i think there will be fights on who will get the blue and the pink ones. LOL! Take care and have a nice day! :) Merry Christmas!

I do exactly the same. That is, I have a favourite coffee cup. I used to have this largish coffee cup with a pretty cat on it. It was also special because it was given to me by a previous school where I taught. One day it disappeared. My husband had thrown it out. This was because it had ingrained coffee stains in it, like white coffee cups sometimes do. He went out & bought me another cat coffee cup, but it wasn't the same.

He threw itr out? YIKES! The stains would come out with a good bleaching then a few washings. Mine get that ingrained stain and I soak them in bleach water and they turn nice and white again. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I have coffee cups that hold anywhere from 3-5 cups of coffee. Any cup with coffee in it is a favorite. I do prefer the bigger ones though, that way I get more then a taste

I sure do have a fave mug that noone else dares to use. It's a mug I received from the ford body shop that worked on my car over a year ago. I went to pick up my car and there in the passenger seat was the mug with a small bottle of touch-up paint nestled in it. Been using that mug every since. Like yours, it holds more than a standard coffee cup. I got rid of the coffee cups that came with my dining set cause they were just too small for us. 2 gulps and had to refill the cup.

I have a bunch of favorite mugs I've gotten over the years...some have broken a bit, but I refuse to throw them out so I just use them as decoration type thing..they were ones with wolves on them..my mom accidentally kept breaking them on me when she washed the dishes :( The I have my "witchy" mugs that I use for Halloween. And yes, I do have this big gigantic, behemoth sized mug that will be perfect now for Christmas that yup, got at the dollar store last year. My all time favorites though are the mugs I most often use and got them from the dollar store. One has this saying on it FOLLOW YOUR DREAM ..." Follow your dream wherever it leads Don't be distracted by less worthy needs Shelter it, nourish it, help it to grow Let your heart hold it down deep where dreams go. Follow your dream, pursue it with haste; Life is too precious, too fleeing to waste... Be faithful, by loyal, then all your life through the dream that you follow will keep coming true..." Here is the saying on the other mug, called Don't Quit DON'T QUIT: "...When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When care is pressing you down a bit- Rest if you must, but don't quit. Success is failure turned inside out- The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems afar, So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit... It's when things seem worst that you must not quit!..." Nice huh??

Hubby is the same way...he drinks alot of coffee and no little regular coffee cup will do it for him. Instead he has a stoneware cup that came from the National Rifle Association and several from the state prison where he worked for 17 years. They are all bigger than the standard coffee cups so he likes them. MERRY CHRISTMAS!! **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I am not a coffee person but I do have a favorite mug at home and one I often at the office. I use it for my daily drinking of coffee, water, orange and just anything that I could think of. Its an all over mug that I use at the office, I have one glass but I did not know where its where abouts now its just lost in space, i tried looking for it in the canteen but its not there either. So i ill have to think that that particular glass in now in good hands. It was a tall clear glass, though it was not that expensive but it was my favorite. Have a nice day grand pa bob and take good care!

Yes I do grandpa Bob I have my favorite coffee/tea mug that I bought also ten months ago. I love pictures and graphics with a heart design actually I bought it when it was a valentines day that's why the design are hearts. I don't let anyone in my household use it, I'm afraid that they might broke it or lost it. I'm just feel relax and enjoy seeing heart design when I'm taking my coffee or tea.

yes I have a mug that I've been using for 5 years! It's a starbucks thermal mug with a nice cover. It's black and silver. I'm not a fan of starbucks coffee. Neither do i drink coffee regularly. but this was a gift from an aunt. and i've been using it for years and years. everyday! it's quite amazing how long a mug can last. It's also slightly larger than the usual ceramic mug.

We collect coffee mugs, have a couple of gorgeous ones from Minnesota. Some big, some small, some plain, some fancy. The only one I do not use is the one that says BOB. Right now we are using the Santa and snow themed mugs and cups a lot. I like the small-ish cups and refill a lot, so that they are always hot and fresh. Big cups for travel. I am going out the door now, so I will have a refill and a toast to you. Good morning.

I have a mug that is most likely the same size that you posted. I love it, I got it for christmas years ago. I also have a giant campbells soup mug that is really wide/fat like the mugs in coffee shops. I got that when I was around 5 or so, my mother brought it home with soup when I was sick. I still use it. My husband doesn't drink coffee or tea, so I'm the only one who uses the mugs haha.
