My English hubby had to teach me how to make a cup of tea when I first arrived in England as I was a pure coffee drinker in America I drank tea over here for years and am now drinking nespresso. He told me to squeeze the tea bag on the side and make sure it is a browny colour not white. I used to hate when friends made me tea that was too milky. So I always aimed for a browny colour when I made everyone’s cup of tea without leaving the teabag in for too long!!  ;D and putting the milk in first gross lol

I don’t drink tea, but I’ve made many thousands of cups for the tea lover in the household. Am still trepidatious about making it for a stranger though, as it seems to be a minefield.

As for MILFs, I cannot let the subject pass without posting this scene with the wonderful Anna Gunn:

If I  got Nan to watch that video, it was totally worth it.  Even better if her daughter sees it in the browser history!

The thing with Jimbo, and PoughkeepsieGypsie will back me up on this, in real life he doesn't look a day over 60. Sixty-five at the most.

Geritol IV and all, huh?   ;D ;D

I get so amused listening to the Daughter. Seriously, to her anyone over 35 is an antique.  I do have to point out to her that the same benchmark age will pass her by eventually, and she just does "the eye roll". (You folks with teenage girls know that one. She's never really outgrown it.)
