Playing it loose with the word "treat"

by jasonowalker » Oct 31st, '08, 15:11

Hmm, giving any kind of tea to kids sounds like a calculated risk- even the word pu could be quickly and easily connected to "pooh," as in flaming bags on your doorstep.

Let us know the amount of TP in your trees tomorrow morning.

Chip, I'm sorry about your kitty. It's always so hard to let them go.

Caligatia, congratulations on your anniversary!

I'd hand out old flavored tea bags. Yuccccck.

I got in some new samples from Adagio last night...all blacks, of course, and one oolong. What to try, what to try...

And you, you are a thousand miles away,

The only Nilgiri in the box was the Blue. I'm really looking forward to trying it.

I had some Russian Samovar from Sarah this afternoon. Not bad! Now I think I'll try that Nilgiri, now that dinner's over...

Yes, that's one of the tins I ordered. I think it's on the plan for tonight.

Aw, Trioxin, your poor transvestite must be lonely. Everyone needs quality time!

Hubby had a wisdom tooth extracted yesterday, so I've spent yesterday afternoon and today taking care of him. The pain meds made him sick so that's not been fun, poor guy. And he can't have hot beverages for a week so I can't even make him tea. :( So I made him some iced ginger "tea" to help his stomach and made me some Clouds Mist. And I forgot all about Halloween so have no candy. Oops. :oops:

Caligatia, happy anniversary!
Chip, I'm so sorry about Delilah. It is so hard to lose them. :(
Chad, I'm so sorry about Licorice - that is a hard decision to make.
It has been a rough year around here for our furry friends.

Thanks once again everyone. Sorry about your cat, Chad.

Some SLT and Mugicha to finish the TeaDay.

The poll was a trick, not a treat, if you said I would be giving out RoT flavored tea from 1999, you are still wrong, but I would consider it since I have a bunch.

In the Other category, Chocolate would be given to tricker treaters, BUT we NEVER have any!!!!! So, you been "tricked." :twisted:
blah blah blah SENCHA blah blah blah!!!
