I do well with cacti. They don’t need a lot of water. I don’t know what a peace lilly is. Ohh see the little rino on the windowsill. It is on the left side between the tree like cacti and the penis like cacti. That is a kinder egg toy surprise. I found a little jar of them.

I don’t like that whistle sound, it startles me but it is a cool concept.

What thing in the middle? The bead pot placing thing? The buttons on the stove under the clock? That thing hanging is a stain glass parrot.

Cardamon is a type of spice. I used to buy it in the pods and take out the seeds myself and use my coffee grinder on it. It is a middle eastern spice mostly used for coffee. You can use it in cooking too. Closest spice I can compare it too is cinnamon. If you have had real Chai tea then it was probably in there. It should be in the spice section if you want to try it. A lot of people I know can’t stand it. In one of my classes someone brought in a coffee maker and the coffee drinkers took turns supplying the coffee. I put a tiny bit of cardamon and no one would touch it. Out of 30 people not one liked it. I think it is an acquired taste, or something you like if you have been exposed to it when you were young.

It looks like it is doing well. Sometimes those kinds of plants (bulb with fine leaves) wilt if you overwater. They get a fungus called damp off and wilt over like a limp dick. It would probably do best if you let the soil dry out between waterings. That is why you find lilys growing on slopes where is good drainage. Those don't need lots of light either. Our local lilies you can eat but I don't know if you can with that one. What are you feeding it?

It might like some carbonated water sprayed on it. CO2

Feeding it? Laughing

It's on this special thing that works like watered soil but it's not soil. It's like jelly. Only have to water it once every two weeks.

It has this thing on its stem. Like it dried up or summin. Like summin crawled in and nested. Sad

Hehe. If I could I'd throw some for you onto your porch, but with my arm the farthest I could throw isn't really that far. Laughing you’d have to get out in the snow and walk a bunch to even get half way through and by the time you get to the tea you’d start to miss the snow! Sad

I went into the garage in bare feet on the cold cemement. It is painfull it was soooo cold. There is a wet carpet in there too and THAT was even worse.

Now my question is should I drive in the snow without snow tires. Rear wheel drive=positive. Summer tires =negitive.


The main road is clear but the side streets haven't been cleared and there is lots of loose snow.


OK, fuck the car, can't risk it. Going to take a cab.

It seems almost everone drinks either tea or coffee, i'm willing to bet alot of people drink it for the stimulant value.

Personally I don't drink either, never got into the habit and expect I never will. Still, I get my stimulant fix from other sources... Wink

What's with people ruining perfectly good tea by adding milk? I really dislike the way milk makes my tea taste, it gets a weird fatty taste.

For the people who get cranky when they don't have their coffee: that's just withdrawal, you can drink strong tea and still get enough caffeine for your addiction.

Tea contains caffiene, caffeine is a stimulant which suppresses appetite. It doesn't contain as much as coffee, but still a fair amount.

It's the same reason why people smoke to help with dieting. Nicotine is a stimulant which also suppresses appetite.

Consuming such large amounts of caffeine isn't very healthy and can cause cardiac, gastrointestinal and psychiatric disorders with long term use. Saying that, it's certainly better then smoking as an appetite supressant, and i'm sure the weight you'll probably lose will balance any negative effects it may cause, at least in the short term.

Just thought you should know this isn't a habit you should maintain for too long a period. Out of interest, how many cups do you think you drink a day?

I have a water bottle that hold 1000ml

I drink at least 5 of those a day. In a small cup. So over 45-60 minutes I finish it then I sit / prepare another one. And that's it.

Cup wise. The cup i use is a whisky glass. It holds around 200ml. so around 25+ cups a day. Laughing

Well not throughout the whole day. Like I haven't had tea in the last 3 hours. Gonna make some now while i'm working. Very Happy

Jebus! Assuming thats average strength tea, you're consuming up to 1000mg of caffeine per day!

Thats five times the average. Even the top 10% of coffee drinkers only consume about 400mg per day.

Seriously, you're really putting your health at risk if you do this for an extended period. I reckon you could get away with it for a year though without too many problems.

Well. i'm only going to do it from friday till monday since i'm home then. Other days a week it'll just be two / three cups cause tea's kinda expensive. And I don't plan on lugging my water bottle around Very Happy But even then I’ll be drinking water.


And I plan on doing this up until march. Very Happy maybe febuary if I’m satisfied with my results then.

So it’s not going to kill me... right?


I use two tea bags for 1l.

My jogging partner said 1 bag is enough. So it is kinda above average I think.

So you only do it over the weekend and you just use two teabags per litre?

You'll be fine. Smile

I got the impression it was 5 litres of full stength tea every day. That would be bad. Wink
