Lol!!! Thanks, Ally. I'll do my best this year. But you try too, cause everybody deserves to have a good year.

May we both lick special...privates? lol

I neglected to wish you a happy birthday on the proper day. And after your response in the oral sex thread made me snort with giggles, I figured now would be a good time. Hope that particular day was good and I hope the rest are too. Have a good year. May you lick many privates (or just one special private, up to you).

One of these days... And all we need to do is to smile and carry on. No worries, we'll make it.

<3

One of these days, you and I will be both be successful (whatever that means) and satisfied and we will barely remember the people who tried to make us otherwise. I like to think so, anyway.

Thank you.

Haha... I hope you don't get boxes and boxes of Celestial Seasonings.

Patience is good. I practice it less often than I should, but I try.

That's a good point... I'm positive they know nothing about tea, or what I like. And we'll see about this new roommate. I'll try and be very patient.

Ooh, lucky you. I'm assuming they know what you like?

Good luck with the new roommate. Even for the most charming among us, I'm sure it can be a little unsettling waiting to meet the stranger you have to live with. I hope he is not a creep. If he is, I suppose you could tie a sail to him and let your 50mph winds carry him away...

I've been dodging rainstorms and shoddy weather. It's blustering pretty hard up here. 50mph gales. Propping myself up and bracing for a brand new roommate. Not to mention I'm completely out of tea and have been forbidden from buying any by relatives. Apparently, I'm getting a lot of tea for Christmas. lol

I'm good! Just finished my third cup of tea on this rainy day. I'm recovering from acute bronchitis, but that's going pretty well. Walked my dog today and everything. We ran down a hill together. I coughed at the end, but not bad. How about you?

*hugs* Hallo. How are you?

Helloooooo

Well, I decided either Oolong or Pu-erh and sampled some, that I could find, with regular glazed porcelain tea ware. I even tried fermented Pu-Erh. I just liked the nice green flavor with the taste of aged scotch that Ti Kuan Yin had. Although, I have to admit, I wish I had picked something cheaper. ^^;

How did you decide which tea to season your teapot with? I'm thinking I might get a new pot soon, and I'm leaning toward a Yixing pot.

Thank you for saying nice things. I've enjoyed looking back on them this last week as I finished up my school year (that might be embarrassing, I don't know). I am grateful to know you even as well as I do right now. Something about you. I can't help but trust and like you.

Beautiful, just as always, Ally. You had better be careful, though...we non-angelic beings that can't carry a tune in a bucket will get jealous. j/k lol But thank you for sharing it with me. It means a lot. And I know things always look bleak from a mod's pov... But remember the people who know, respect and love you for who you are...not who you play on a forum.
