You don't need to be a Miss Phelps to make good decisions or a Nemi to enjoy yourself. Just live in the moment and try not to worry so much. If you are drinking tea, don't split your focus by thinking about the other things you could be doing, just drink your tea. We could all stand to be a little more Moomin-minded.

Okay I finally gave up trying to read my way through the ~3000 posts since I fell behind on the previous thread before christmas. Can anybody fill me in on what I missed? I heard the sad news about Morrie Turner.  Besides that, what's the worst thing that happened in my absence? Were there any big surprises? I notice Borden's back, which I assume qualifies as the best thing. Most importantly, what's happening in Mary Worth?

Gil Hello! That's especially why he needs one stat! Haven't you seen all those missing child horror stories on Dateline? Retail  I'd tell Cooper to get a life but he doesn't actually have one outside of work which is pretty sad. Actually, that might be where this is going. Arthur will just be sooo likable that no one will care about Cooper anymore and Cooper will be insecure and whiny about it. Bleeker the Rechargeable Dog  "Oh, Karl, Karl. Don't worry it'll be all right..." *flips the off switch* Dustin  My guess is that all of Dustin's substitute teacher stories are the reason he gets so many girlfriends. It'd certainly be more interesting than hearing some douche bragging about how he totally owned the assistant manager at his retail job or whatever. On the Fastrack  Someday I hope we'll develop technology that enables telepathy and won't have to bother with English anymore. Safe Havens  Should've gone with a barn swallow instead. Those are a hell lot faster. Midnight Moth fucked around with this message at 08:00 on Feb 28, 2014 |

All I can think of when I look at it is this:  And that's not a joke, it's just how the conversation would end. Crankshaft  Like everything Tom Batiuk writes, this ends in disappointment.

Ugh, gently caress off Batuik. Also with 'Chip has heard of the internet, right?', all I could think of is that 'Libraries, putting bookstores out of business' comic but with a XXX VHS rental place vs strip club (with a brazzers logo in the corner, naturally).

Fingerpori Fok_It  The majority of Finnish grocery stores have self-serve scales in their fruit sections. You're supposed to weigh the fruits/veggies and press the correct number button and then it prints a sticker thing with the barcode and such. "Pearer so" is a literal translation that funnily enough sounds just as silly in English as it does in Finnish.  drat. Rinta-Kanto drew this yesterday to advertize the few Twinklemuzzle t-shirts that are still left to be sold. Also

As I remember Dustin doesn't get girlfriends, he just gets dates. Wasn't it a a big thing when he called one out for a second date once, but it turns out it was only because she beat him in golf?

Until you started posting these I assumed Krazy Kat was Sunday only, like Nemo. Presumably because I read the same book you did that only had Sundays, and didn't even mention that dailies existed back then as far as I can recall.

Tiggum posted:The Born Loser The joke is that the child doesn't know that there is no such thing as "spring tyres", they're just called tyres. Which is even weaker than any given Family Circle malapropism. This storyline is filling me with a sense of dread. Momma  Dont apologize to me Momma, I don't mind. Also Mel's holding back a secret 4th panel where she remarks that the only parasites she's ever had were her children. Let's look in at MinSec!  Boulder, wall (aka Man's boulder), DRAGON, boulder, hurdles. I also liked this mini-arc   so poignant.

Tea has about the same amount of caffeine as instant coffee, which is less than brewed coffee, but it all depends on how you make it (coffee or tea). In either case, if you drink enough of it (which isn't actually all that much) you max out on the caffeine effect and anything else you feel is placebo. Lapsang souchong is known for its smoky flavour, but you should also try English breakfast, which is sort of the generic tea. Assam is very strongly flavoured and I only drink that occasionally. Earl Grey is flavoured by the addition of bergamot, and I like it without milk as it's less bitter than black tea tends to be normally. Green tea can be very bitter and I find it goes well with sweet food (and is served without milk). Russian Caravan is one I've never cared for, to me it tastes somewhat like rubber smells. If you buy tea leaves or bags that don't specify a variety they'll probably be a generic sort of black tea that's fairly similar to English Breakfast.
