Hey, does anyone here have AT&T U-verse for their TV and internet? I have that option where I will be moving, for a fair amount less than Comcast, with the added bonus of no more Comcast, but I am still wary.

Lipton's Orange pekoe makes me happy.

It's funny to order tea in restaurants when Hubby orders coffee. They'll bring the pot of coffee and try to pour it into his cup no matter how he tells them not to, but I'll get a pot of hot water and all the fixings. Hubby asked why they don't pour the hot water in my cup, and the waiter said, "Tea people get very fussy about those sorts of things."

So I guess I'm tea people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I hate when I get the mix of coffee/cream/sugar just right, and then the server pours in more coffee. Why don't they just leave a pot, if they're going to give me free unlimited refills anyway?

I like Salada blueberry tea.

Oh, I hate that! Then you put your hand over the cup, and they ask you to move your hand!

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

For black tea, the water needs to be 212°. (and you need to warm the teapot before you pour, so that the water stays hot). If they're letting you pour your own water at the table, then the water is too cool to make a proper cup of tea.

My sister does, so I've used it a few times. I don't like it as much as the Tivo: I find the interface a lot more confusing. But they haven't complained too much.

Our wings are not tired.

Drinking my coffee black helps a whole lot with the refill issue.

Perkins, I had U-Verse for a time and was very happy with it. Alas it isn't offered where I am living now.

I'm not too worried about the haute cuisine potential of IHOP. And when I make it at home, I'm popping a mug of water into the nuker then dunking in a teabag. Mine is not the palate of a high-brow tea drinker.

Good to hear, Laura!

Do you know what speed they have? The rep didn't think I needed the top speed package, but I'm not sure.
