You are finding the delectable libation that is tea icky then you are probably doing it wrong.

Have you tried it with lemon instead of milk and sugar?



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

I wonder if you could put together a southern drawl with a sprinkling of Yiddish?

"Rally darlin', do you rally want I should schlep you a beer? Oy vey, y'all."

I lived in Maryland for a while and that slowed my high speed California speech rate down. We used to say "Hey" instead of "Hi". Y'all wasn't unheard of either.

Goodness look at that poll. most people believe England is a Christian country and prayers is acceptable so i guess no thanks! Damn its the same everywhere. Crazy religion.

I'd rather die than live in the bible belt.

I live in the buckle of the bible belt, Oklahoma Big Grin. People are interesting....very religious but they seem to have a strange politeness and manner to it. Like John Corvino describes them: "You are going to hell! Now have some tea."

Clearly you have not had Sweet Tea

It's easier when I limit myself to "YOU SCHMUCK!!" In general, outside of this board, I try to maintain a certain decorum.

Quoted for truth. Nothing like a little polite righteous fervor. You'll go to hell, but they'll make sure they feed you first.

Summer, when you get here, you have Darjeeling tea in the morning, brewed for no more than 4 minutes, with a splash of milk, no sugar. Afternoon tea is Earl Grey, served with lemon, not milk, and a scone with clotted cream and jam.
