Hi True! I am still up from last night and so far this morn, I am doing pretty good!
Thanx for askin! How are You doin over on that side of the Pond? (Oh, did ya notice?
I did NOT put on the Earl Grey?! LOL!!! [I think that's how ya spell it, and is that what the underwear water tea is called?]) LOL!!

a reply to: SyxPak

Correct on both counts sir!

Things this side of the pond are humid, slightly hazy, and promising to heat up grandly later .

I really hope we end genuinely cooler weather soon. A little rain, some stiff breezes, an excuse for a sweater.

a reply to: TrueBrit

We've been getting quite a bit of rain over the past few days or so. It'll start out raining, clear up a little, warm a little, then cloud up, cool down, and rain at night! LOL Pretty Sketchy weather for sure. LOL! But it better than just flat out raining like hell, or worse yet, Snowing!! Oh damn, I hope I didn't just Jinx it!!



ETA: Ok Man, It's going on like 4:40 or so in the A.M. here so I am going to grab a nappy. Take It easy True! I hope it may get a little chilly there so You can wear a sweater! LOL!!! Catchya on the Flip Flop and beyond the Flam Jammer Bud!

I hope You and everyone else have a Great Day!!! Till later, Syx......

Nice pic of you and Chrissy Syx!!

Hello True and Gimme!

Been raining a lot here too. The sun has been hiding on me.

Still so sleepy. Might be here for a bit and then take a nap.

a reply to: Night Star

Hey Night Star!

It finally started to cool down! Woo!

I hope that when time comes, you get some much needed rest. I just finished my lunch, and now I must return to work! That said, things have been relatively sedate in the store today, so the chances are that I will be back on ATS at some point in the next ten minutes !

a reply to: SyxPak


Good Morning shedders.

Yes Syx, I said the (S) word. I got (S) all over my yard, deck.. In the trees. There is (S) everywhere. LOL

Well it's gonna be all melted in a couple hours. There's just something about the first snow. The word Magical comes to mind.

Nice picture of you and Chrissy. Your a nice looking family.


And thank you for the tea. "As she walks over and pours the hot water over some Jasmine tea" I love the warmth of the tea cup in my hands. can't drink it yet. It's gotta steap for a minute.

a reply to: Night Star

Hi Night. Will You Please fill this Mug for Me? C[_] Your closer. Thanx! MMmmmm, Coffee!!! LOL!!!

Yah that is a nice Pic Huh? it was taken at one of the Family gatherings in Milan, IL. a few yrs back.

Oh, Some Day I'll have to tell you guys about how we had 2 Chris's in our Family when I was growing up! The couple around the corner from My Mom and Dad had split up, and My Mom babysat the Guy's kids while He was at work. Then My Ma and Pa split up, and then the couples switched Mates and Re-Married! ( I don't know all the sordid details, but can only imagine! LOL) The other Guy who I lived with, and He raised Me, had a daughter named Christine. My Sister Christina was older, so we nicknamed the younger Christine, Babe. You know, short for the Baby Chris. LOL!

Oh, now I guess I don't have to wait for 'Some Day' to tell Ya's the story!! Just did!! LOL!!

Yay True! Looks like ya got some cool weather so You can now wear that sweater you were wanting to put on, eh?! LOL Kool Beans Man!!!

a reply to: SyxPak

Yep! It's mashing down with rain out there.

However, it did give me an excuse to at least put on my rubberised, armour like waist coat, jacket, type thing... Yeah!

a reply to: gimmefootball400

Good Morning Gimme,

Love Molly Hatchet. A little to early for me, but I will listen later. I think I have a few Albums down in the storage room. Yea ya know "Albums" Old school way of listening to music. I still like to pull them out once in a while and listen to them. I've got some albums that I can't even find in CD. Old Deep Purple. Who etc...

Can't think right know. Gotta drink my tea. Brain doesn't start to function until I had at least 2 cups.

a reply to: crappiekat

LOL On the 'S' 's !! I do agree that the first covering of the white stuff is kinda magicky! Beautiful actually, eh? It's just the shoveling of it and all that UnFun stuff about it that I don't like. LOL! Now when it's just powder, no prob on the shoveling, but wet stuff sucks!!!

Thanx for the comp on the Picture!

Ya gotta Love the Beverage department here in The Shed. Whatever Flavor of any kind of Drink you'd want, is here!
Free refills, and the Hot or Cold are always just the right temp!! Now all we have to do is train the cups and mugs to refill themselves!! LOL!!!

a reply to: TrueBrit

Hmmmm, True for some reason I pictured You in a little yellow raincoat with matching galloshes and umbrella! Like the Morton Salt Gal! LOL!!!
Hey, I am Just Kidding!! No need to throw stuff at me!!! LOL!!! (Ducking from a handful of padlocks!!!)

a reply to: TrueBrit

Morning True.

Do you prefer loose or tea bags.

I do tea bags, But I love using loose. I think it has something to do with the ritual of put the tea in the tea ball, measuring it out to just right so you get that perfect taste. It's rewarding when you get it exactly right.

I like Earl Grey. A good morning blend. The lady I get my loose tea from makes specialty blends. She made a blend called "Minocqua Blend" I can't remember all that's in right now. But it's kinda cool that she can do different blends per your taste. Is there a name for a person who does that?

a reply to: crappiekat

There is no specific word for a tea blender as far as I know. Some hipsters call them teaologists, but that is not even a word! It would be more accurate to call them herbalists of one sort or another.

However, with regard to myself, I prefer bags, pyramidal bags to be precise. However, it has to be said that the last time I drunk loose leaf was at my grandparents house, when I was about twelve, before they stopped being able to cope with the physical process of tea making before chucking loose leaf all over the place.

I imagine that if I had the time for messing about with strainers and what have you, that I would be very much interested in the process of creating different blends, and indeed in pouring the perfect cuppa. However, for as long as PG Tipps continue to create pyramid bags full of refreshing goodness, then I probably will not bother, since I drink the majority of my tea at work, where time is valuable in a way that my free time is not!

a reply to: SyxPak

Heh!

Nope, no yellow in my wardrobe at all as it happens chap! Nearest I get is the olive drab like colour of my military grade poncho. That thing could keep a ships hull dry!

a reply to: TrueBrit

True, I think ya missed my joke! Or maybe it just wasn't funny!!? LOL!!!
I was Totally, Seriously, no Shi tt ingly just kidding about the Yellow garments!!! I know that there is probably no way in Hell that you would even wear yellow. Unless It was a nice looking woman dressed in Yellow draped over Your Arm !!!
I have always pictured You in Black Buddy! Especially since ya told us a while back that you have mostly black attire.
Black is most of what my T-Shirts are in as well, with assorted Reapers, Rock Bands, Harley Davidson logo's , etc. on them.
I've got a kool 'T' with white/grey Ying Yang symbol with a Dragon on one half, and a White Tiger on the other half and some Skulls/ whispy smoke scattered on the front of. You would probably like it. Pretty Bad Ass Shirt! I am a T-Shirt and Blue Jeans kinda Guy!
Oh, ponchos are kool too! I don't have one, but would most likely wear one though if I needed something for Stormy weather.
I usually just let my old leather biker jacket take the punishment......

a reply to: TrueBrit

LOL You reminded me of my aunt who used loose tea. There was always tea all over her kitchen.

PG Tipps. I will look that up. I don't think we have that in the states. At least not where I'm at.

Herbalist. I like the sound of that. Next time I visit the tea shop, I will ask her if she has a name she calls herself.

She told me her husband travels all over the world to find different tea's and then she blends them.

Well, I have a busy day today. Later I hope to go to the Cranberry Festival. I've never been.

If I have time later I would like to try and learn how to post pictures and stuff. I have alot to share. Fun stuff.


I hope you all have a good day.

Later All,
Crappiekat
