Coffee. Coffee is the drink you are looking for, Hell's Kitten...unless you already drink it regularly and this green tea thing was just a mistake. That's understandable. I made the mistake of drinking green tea once, too. It made me sick. I know it's supposed to be good for you, and there are other types of hot tea that I like, but green tea is not one of them.
Stick to coffee.

Hello to all and sundry!

Seems a few of us have been having that problem. They've been tightening the security noose slowly and steadily here, but time-wasting hasn't made it to the top of the list yet. Yet. I'm sure it will.

In the summer I love to make tea in the morning for all day drinking.

Sun-brewed is the very best kind of tea. Period.

A friend sent me this today.

If you like your tea weak, then yes it is the best. Personally, I like mine stronger.

Puppy: Way too cute.

Tea: I've always been an Orange Pekoh man, myself. I find Earl Grey too bitter, and green tea a bit icky.

My Problems: None at the moment. Don't have anything really interesting to talk about.

Use more tea and brew it longer...I like it stronger than "weak".

As for green tea versus black, I am pretty sure green refers to the color that the unitiated turn when they first drink it.

And I love old 40's & 50's era product art with contemporary sayings! Can't help but snigger into snortage.

Edit: James, in my book a day with nothing to report generally is a good day. Good show!

'morning all...

Hope everyone's weekend was better than mine. (Saturday was spent day-tripping to another island to spend it mainly at a friend's father's funeral and the receptions -- yep two, one at the church, the second one at the family's home.) Spent the rest of the day and yesterday recovering from it mainly.

*picks up jaw from the floor*...Okay, just reading (and trying to respond to the whole "green tea is icky" school of thought)...Infidels...unwashed masses...(tongue firmly in cheek of course, but still)..heathens...

I give you full credit for trying green tea without trying any other types before, HK. I'm guessing that it wasn't sweet enough for you, based on that Mountain Dew comment. *wince* Although I think all of you have horrid taste in oversweetened drinks...I'd rather drink a "green river" (7-up with green lemon-lime syrup added) or Jolt before I'd stoop to Mountain Dew

Odds made some suggestions for drinking green tea that might be a bit more to your taste, I'd also suggest the Arizona Green Tea since it's an iced with a lot of sweeteners (or a majority of the canned or bottled green teas for sale on the mainland). Or, if you have to *shudder* add cream and sugar to the tea *shudder* (Yes, I've seen it done by some.) I'd also offer you some green tea ice-cream (good quality stuff -- not from Baskin-Robins) -- lots of sugar, lots of cream, and frozen.

Best suggestion -- avoid the "high quality" powdered green teas -- that's jmore for the Japanese Tea Ceremony and is stronger, sterner stuff than the tea leaves.

* After thought -- that's fine...don't drink the green teas -- means there's more high-quality stuff for folks like me (and the rest of the Asian continent).

--

Tristan: Coffee is good...unless it's canned or Star*ucks. But dissing tea? That's a true sign of lack of taste. Heck, it's what our BDHs drank...so watchit buster.

---

As for the resigning being an adult....ick. As I told someone else "that means you have to re-live school, puberty, having to rely on adults for a lot of things, not being able to afford all those expensive toys, living with your parents telling you what to do (and fighting over it)..." y'know, I'd rather be an adult even when it sucks. And I've lived through some things that had me wishing I'd wake up and find myself five years old again.

---

NVG: At least you're a guy getting those fuskin' spams...know a female-type whose response when she gets those kinds of spam with a "when did I grow man-bits?"

---

MsG: Kudos on the backup plan. Never had to double-up on a class before, but being able to do it while pulling out a good back-up alternative plan for the whole class is definitely something. *rounds of applause and a standing ovation*

Okay...it only took me all morning to get this out (and I'll be at a conference all day tomorrow) so *waves* and *hugs* to all. *leaves a couple of hugbombs for RIMG, NVG, Whitefall, JTD, and anyone else who needs one with a sign saying "Stressed? Push here."*
