Milky sweet tea is medicine for what ails you. Step off.Hot? Totally. Milky and kinda sweet tea is the best comfort-y thing.
But cold/iced tea? It's like flat soda and just too sweet for me.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sweet tea is just right and necessary in heat & humidity and no wind.
Well, except that it now exceeds my daily caffeine limit, so I don't drink it anymore.

I've been making iced herb teas (Rose Hips & Lemon Zinger, so far) for the past couple of weeks and loving them. In Texas there are battle lines drawn around the sweet and no sweet iced tea camps. Hot tea can be sweet, I guess, but not iced tea, not ever. (This, by the way is one of the big giveaways, that I am not a real Southerner).
Also, I will NOT step off. Right Exactly Now, I am stepping on. SO there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am stepping on.
Yeah, but you're stepping on the "some tea can be sweet" train, so it's all good.

Where would I be likely to find adhesive-faced magnetic sheets by the foot in person? (I've found a couple of places online, but I'd rather not pay for shipping if I can avoid it.)
Would a hardware store stock that sort of thing? Or a crafts store, maybe?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jessica, maybe a crafts store. If you're ever around the greater Union Square area, I'd try the art/craft/card/etc store between 18th and 19th, between 5th and 6th. I don't think they really have a name other than like Paper Something Something. They generally have any crazy thing I need. (Ex: the other day I got wired ribbon, blue permanent markers, and popsicle sticks.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
There's more than a few in that area, since it's the paper district.
ETA: and home depot is on 23d.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
hmmph... I saw two movies this weekend which is way unusual. both were good ( ok, howl's was excellent) . But all I am reading in the paper is that the movie business is doing terrible. so prices may continue to rise. Are they on crack???!?!! ask me why I don't do what i did this weekend more often? because 10 bucks a movie is way too much for a movie that might be ok. I can get that on my tv. or from a movie rental place for ( being generous here) about a quarter of the price. cheaper still if I go to the library. If movies were 5 bucks - I'd go much more often. even if they were 7. which would also mean more consession money- because I 'd be buying hot dogs for dinner - ( we tend to go to the movies durring the week). of course, I think if the 25 screen multiplex did one non-blockbuster movie in one theater they might get a little more money in them too...
