This is one of the strangest statements I have encountered on TeaChat so far. Sounds like you might need to join Proinsias in the Shu Cure. :lol:
More interesting is that Wulong is a resident geisha.

Or use my laptop without having her draped across one shoulder. Still. I always wanted a lap kitty, and boy did I get one. :)
Tail? Kitty? :shock: :wink: :lol:

Ohhh I love Myrtle Beach!! The sand is sooo soft and white and perfect. I loved it there. Here the sand is dirty, gritty and annoying. The beaches just can't compare.

Switched now to a nice soft oolong - Magnolia Oolong from TeaSource

We (my two daughters and myself) went to Myrtle Beach this summer for two days. Warm water, cooling winds, but about 95% humidity! (this was the end of July) Even with the humidity it was a lovely visit!

It sure was different than the Oregon Coast, where even in mid-August it's too cold to swim. But you sure can't beat the views on the OR Coast or the beautiful sunsets!

I chose other because I have lived in the midwest my whole life and I need both. Besides, if you don't like the weather in the midwest, wait a few days, it will change.

We visited Florida several years ago, before kids, in the middle of August. The cockroaches, bugs, etc . . . were unbelieveable. My family in Texas gets huge roaches and lizzards in the house. :P Yuk. Give me a good, hard freeze for a couple of months to kill or stun the varmits. I'll drink tea to stay warm.

Finished another quilt this weekend that I started 5 years ago. :D

Even though my country-folk typically hate winter, I can never turn down the opportunity to go running out into fresh fallen snow. Nothing beats snowmobiling in the dark when the snow is falling. I just hate shoveling the damn stuff.

I stuck mostly to lemongrass herbals today, out of fear that I was catching a cold.

And I bought my first car today too! Yay!
I believe drinking tea makes me a better artist. But hey, I also believe I'm completely sane.
