Spell check says, dear Ashock, that you are going to Disneyline. We grammarians can be soooo touchy . . .

Just remember:

Sorry, but I just can't seem to find that hiragana emulator I used to have. Romaji will just have to do.

Not sure what you mean by that, perhaps you've confuse me with the overcaffinated rogue. However, least the wrong information take root, I am by preference a tea drinker, but not in public places. That's because one cannot get tea in most public places, just floor sweepings in tepid water ;)

Ah. Then to correct the analogy,

Ashock = Pete without his morning cup of tea

I can't perfect the analogy yet, as I still have a buttload of work to do before I leave for home and I'm not sure how the Lurkers would feel about me rating them on the Vitriolic Scale.

BTW, ISTA on the tea. I like to steep my darjeeling until the bag falls apart.

Oh, my. A bag? A tea bag? Ah, please make the pain go away! ;)

Check out this site for a decent intro to things *really* tea. I find their Darjeeling rhapsody 22 to be fairly good (for a darjeeling). Boiling water, five or six minutes and it is not too bad. However, trying to brew a strong, dark cup of tea with a darjeeling is an exercise in futility. If you want strong, dark, and good, try their Ceylon Sonata. It'll brew up darker with less bitterness.

By the way, the cost for loose tea is much less (per cup) than for bags. You get a lot bigger choice. You can *blend* your own mixutes. And you can get two or more infusions (each with its own characteristic) out of the big loose leafs in a way the powder in bags would never do.

I simply use a pot sized tea infuser (never use one of those tea balls or eggs, there isn't enough room for the leaves to expand) in a big (20 oz) Starbucks mug. That way, I can brew a 'pot' at a time and drink it all by myself :)

Have fun over the break,

--Pete

Would that not be the pH scale, then? Considering that we are talking merely about battery acid— so named in the days before the automobile battery.

Holy Cow ! How many times can we change subjects in one topic ? :lol:

I just gotta say "Hi" to some of my favorite people !!

Just to clarify: Hannuka is smokable although it takes dangerous maneuvers involving not setting one's self on fire

And on a side note: I seem to have lurking for a lot lately, I'm the only one without any subtitle :)

Well, we seem to have at least somewhat similar tastes in music, so it was not that big a deal to recognise it :-)
