I was having a cup of tea with my hostess one day, and she got out the cream and sugar. I said I didn't use those with my tea--just my coffee. I followed it up with, "I like my tea like I like my men." Without missing a beat, she said, "Plain?" I replied, "No, silly! Strong!"
Doesn't winter seem more like archiving season?

Yes, I always countered the guys at work that liked it light and sweet with the fact that my coffee was strong and black.

Congrats to DJ and Matt!
Fingers still crossed for SuziQ and askye!
Yay, Fay!
askye, I've been here at my new job almost a year, and just last week the big boss asked me about something on my resume that he'd never caught (it wasn't a mistake, but he thought it was). Which is to say, employers usually use them for information gathering, not detail.

So, if you're downloading an album from iTunes and it keeps timing out, then is it okay to pause it and resume another day? It won't eat all your money and run off cackling, leaving you tragially music-less?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, the songs should still be there the next day. When you come back, go to the "Store" menu and click "Check for Purchases" and the downloads should resume.

Fay, I admire you and wish you luck with your healthy-weight-seeking and all, but I have to say I've always considered you voluptuous and gorgeous, so... well, I'm sure you'll still be lush and lovely at your desired weight. So go you!
Isn't it meant to be heretical and bizarre to put cream in tea? I think I've heard mocking of the idea before. Me, I tend to reach for whatever liquid dairy-based substance is nearby*, but I do remember the mocking. From Brits, I'm sure.
(* okay, no, I wouldn't put kaffir in tea.)

I think the reason I prefer cream or milk in tea is that when I was a child my mom would put a bit of tea in our milk. I'll drink it either way, but for comfort I'll add the dairy.
