Congrats Shoe...on managing to hang onto that cup for that long.
I've never managed managed to keep one intact for longer than a few months. They fall off the roof of the car...or the counter...get chewed by puppies...crack and leak...or they just stop keeping things hot.

You really ought to hang that cup up in a favourable position somewhere...it should be retired.

Hah! Well, I still use it, not daily though. I take it to the mkt with me on cold early-spring mornings. Sometimes I carry it with me other days because it has a lid that keeps me from burning my mustache off in the car when I hit all the bumps on the dirt road. At least I only burn my upper lip with the lid on! :>)
