I've got to get myself weaned off of Diet Coke, and am thinking about using iced tea as a substitute, which is what my sister drinks. (No carbonation allowed after the surgery!) I've got an iced tea maker on my Amazon wish list that I'll probably order this weekend.
I'm sorry about your dad, Plei. I hope they can get it next time, without too much more pain and effort.
My parents and sister got fancy electric kettles you can set to proper tea-making temperature (depending on the type of tea), and green and white teas, especially, do seem to taste better when made to spec. When I want most want tea, though, I am more wanting to breath the steam than caring about the taste. Or so it seems today when my sinuses are draining.
I'm drinking southern sweet tea right AIFG!

I bought a couple of adirondak chairs on Sunday and wanted to get a good waterproofer on them before the weather hit. Wasn't fast enough, but I have them mostly painted now. Tonight I need to flip them and get the parts I couldn't reach. Should be some interesting body contortions.
I just ordered a Christmas-themed cross-stitch kit to work on as soon as I finish my current piece (a few more weeks of backstitch, and it'll be ready for framing, after only working on it for over a year--I got away from it this year after starting school).
Today is Veterans Day, which gives us all a good opportunity to thank the troops who have served our country. The holiday was formerly known as Armistice Day, though, and it celebrated the armistice that ended the fighting in World War I. How much do you know about that armistice and the holiday it inspired? Let's find out.
I got 70%, but I guessed on a lot.
