Oh, msbelle, damn. I'd be livid (and also stunned that a kid his age could navigate through the purchase process). Damn damn damn.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh msbelle, that's gotta suck. Time to password protect and sit over his shoulder during computer time, alas. My friend had some sort of monitoring/blocking system set up when her stepson was doing online classes. If you want, I can find out what that was.

Well, yay! I doubt I'll see Colin and then I think, would he remember me out of context anyway?
Oh msbelle, that sucks in a big giant way. I'm sorry.
I had half of the academic decathlon today and I had kids I've taught on three different teams all competing. It was a little odd.

I would be, but the now 10 year old stunned me back when she was 3 with her mad web navigation skills. Brave new world and all that shit.

If you've got one-click set up it's not that complicated.

Yes, he did. Hubby had set up one-click shopping at the one site, Amon hit the Back button in the right combination, and voila, a new gun. Fortunately we were able to keep him from buying a yacht.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
the spiced tea (chai)
I make desi chai with cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom (and I've tried it both with ginger and with black pepper), but it only really tastes like the stuff you get from the chai-wallah when it is made with buffalo milk.

The tea I got at various vendors (mainly textiles, but also other stuff) was sweet, but no cream, which was fine by me. It's got to have pepper and all the stuff you mention, but also a certain black tea flavor I've not been able to find. I'll keep trying, cause man, that stuff was awesome. It had the benefit of being warming when you didn't need warming, but somehow that made it cooling. I dunno. It might explain my cheerful lack of sleep during that trip.

Just shovelled off my balcony. If it weren't 11, I'd do my neighbor's too, returning the favor. But I'll wait until morning for that. Don't want to wake up his kid or freak him out.
