You can't open the book of my life and jump in the middle. Like woman, I'm a mystery.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Cody is shaking his head at me, Allyson. I think he fears fossilized poop shavings cropping up around the house.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

13 things not to google, FYI. Don't say I never did anything for you.

Loose leaf tea brewers--if you brew by the cup, do you reuse the leaves? How often? Over what time span? Do you do anything special to protect the leaves inbetween uses? Do you feel like a heathen?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

do you reuse the leaves?

After you brew them once, all the caffeine is gone. I never reuse them.

Because books.

I never reuse leaves either.

It's tea. You drink it for the caffeine? That seems...optimistic.


Amy - Dec 08, 2011 8:22:15 am PST #10479 of 30001
Because books.

I drink it for the caffeine! But I drink it all day long, and I don't drink coffee.

So far today I've drunk 24oz of black tea, and another 24oz of green tea. It all adds up.

I'm about to make my second pot!

This somehow got through my spam filter:

Hello

Ref: Information about Your late Relation/Family member- Final Notice

This is my second but final attempt to reach you in view of this subject matter.When someone dies without leaving a will and there's no known relative to inherit his estate, the government receives the money. Unless, a previously unknown distant relative or a descendant from the same ancestor is found within a limited time frame at the discretion of the treasury department to claim the inheritance as laid out in section 46 of the Administration of Estates Act of 1992.

I am Patrick Claude,the Head of Audit department of SNS Bank Netherlands.There is an account belonging to your Late Family Member I will like to discuss with you. Once I receive your respond I shall provide you with all the privileged information/legal documents relating to the deceased and also will give you guidelines on how to realize this goal without the breach of the law.

I respectfully request that you treat the content of this letter as privileged and respect the integrity of the information as a result of this correspondence. Contact me immediately for more information and to begin the legal process of redeeming your lawful entitlement before the bank is compelled by law to hand over the money to the government as unclaimed estate.

Kind Regards,
Patrick

I guess there are people still responding to these things, if people keep sending them out, but really, people are still that gullible?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My sister reuses the leaves of her fancy tea that I forget the name of. I'm pretty sure she just leaves them in the strainer and does the "second pour" the same day.

I am apt to forget I made tea while I am still drinking the first cup and leave the pot sitting for a long time, so I don't try to keep up with damp leaves.
