Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I hope they can park Spirit in someplace where it gets enough juice to survive the winter. I'm a little Spirit and Opportunity fanboy. They're the little probes that could.
Calli, don't you mean sweet tea? What is this "iced tea" of which you speak?
I never put any sweetener in my tea, hot or cold. Is it still "sweet tea"? Because I want nothing to do with sweetened tea.
Most places I go in the South ask if you want sweet or unsweet tea. I like unsweet and then I put some Equal or Splenda in it. I do like my tea sweetened some, but sweet tea usually has way too much sugar for me.

No, that's "unsweet tea", and it's always available -- you just have to specify it. Just like "hot tea".
Southern Indiana. Coke. Although not to the extent (iirc) that some of you all are talking about.
who has a story to entertain me?
Unsweetened iced tea with lemon added for me, thanks. I never liked iced tea before my mom started making sun tea when I was in high school, because before then we just had instant powdered crap for "iced tea," and it was sweetened powdered crap. When I discovered unsweetened real iced tea, and added some lemon to see what it tasted like, I became a convert.
Same thing happened with Chinese food--I presumed "real" Chinese food was the chop suey crap my dad made (no Chinese restaurants in Joliet when I was growing up), and didn't discover actual Chinese food until college.

msbelle, I could tell my Peep Jousting story... I don't know that it's a "story" per se, but my coworker sure enjoyed it when I was telling it a few minutes ago...
I think I need to hear about Peep Jousting.
I'm sorry about your cat, CaBil.
ION, the cute house across the street from me is for sale! I winder waht they're asking for it...
Skipped 45 posts. Have to get cracking on cleaning and cooking around here.
Hivemind question:
I like getting the german Lola dish brushes because they're made of natural bristle, wood and metal...all of which feels better to me environmentally. However, the design is such that the brush inevitable comes out of the wood handle housing after a couple months. Has anyone seen a natural bristle and wood handle brush that has the handle secured by wood glue or joints rather than just being a metal tab pushed into a hole?
