Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
It's OK, Todd. Certainly not your fault.

Huh, the Tramadol didn't help my sleep at all last night but I sure do feel drugged 10 hours after taking it. Good thing I don't have to drive anywhere! Pharmacist friend said to give it a few days to build up enough to start working....*fingers crossed* a few days sure, but I have to go back to work on Saturday!

It's OK, Todd. Certainly not your fault.
But what if it was? I can just picture Todd steepling her fingers and mwa-ha-ha-ing.
But I like to think if she had that kind of power, she'd use it for good...or at least for OUR good...
Fingers crossed it all works out, Maria.
Drug-ma, Erin.

I have a friend who always gives fire extinguishers for wedding gifts.
I give a margarita set -- 6 margarita glasses, a bottle of good tequila and margarita mix.

That's a really good idea, Vortex. I like fun and sort of unique gift ideas.
No tea site suggestions? Or actual tea. I really liked this last time but since I can't read a word of it, I don't know how to replace it so I'm striking out on my own.

Cass, upton tea importers. They have a great selection, sell samples, and better prices than most places.

Awesome. I want to find a workable gap between 'well, I have tea but even I know it's not very good tea' and 'my ex aunt in law brought me a tin from China after a bunch of people did tastings.' Samples that I can buy are perfect for that.
eta: About to buy so many samples. Several of their sampler packs and then a couple of samples of teas I know I generally like. Their catalog is ... dense. Thus prepackaged sampler packs seem like a very good way to start. Um, eighteen teas in total. I need a new notebook just to remember what I want to finally buy. In 2015 when I run out of tea. Thanks, sj.

Dang, Vortex gives good gift!
Cass, I have found that one trick to tea is knowing what kind of tea you like as then it's easier to try something unfamiliar knowing you'll probably like it. I think of ita drinking jasmine tea, and I like a good oolong. I've tried quite a few now and there's some I like better but even the ones that aren't quite as delicious are very nummy to drink.

Happy to help, Cass. I hope you enjoy the samples you ordered.

This is good advice. Upton especially has so many different choices for every type of tea. I'm currently in search of the perfect assam. Although sometimes it is also nice to try something completely different with the samples. I'm currently drinking Monkey tea, which is not an assam, but really has the malty flavor I was looking for.
