As for Coke Zero — it tastes like Coca-Cola, but without the massive amount of empty calories. It works for me.

It's on my list for shopping tomorrow.

Just had to be different, didn't you.

did you mean that grinning toothy smile by "really big"? like this ? I know he was so impressed - the cat ate his tongue

next time you see him, remember to ask his name, or better yet prompt him to do that

That is wonderful news!! Now... Don't lose momentum. Tell him you want to have his children... Just kidding. But DO check to see if he is wearing pierced earrings. This could be important for your future. If he is, it means several very important things;
A) He's used to spending money on Jewelery.
B) He's used to enduring pain

... both of which are necessary to be a good husband.

Coke Zero #1. (Yes, back on the coke. Alas, I find that having caffeine too late at night is no longer a good idea. Which explains the Lemon & Lime drink.)

Spoiler:

Firstly, colour? (Me, Light Mahogany)
Secondly, make? (LÓreal)
Thirdly, streaks? (Yes)
Fourthly, done it yourself? (Yes)

My hubby is a green tea drinker, and I drink Rooibos.

Cheers

His ears aren't pierced. I generally don't like guys with pierced ears. Too feminine Besides, I can buy my own jewelery thank you very much

No toothy grin, that would have scared the poor guy even more Just a genuine smile. Next time I see him, I'll say something to him I wore my prettiest dress yesterday, I think he liked it I just love the top of the dress! What do you think?

Oh yeah. In my cup: Rooibos baked apple

[maianhvk]

I think it's so pretty everyone on the train would say hi to you, Iri

A woman should not have to buy her own engagement ring...

I just love the top of the dress! What do you think?

I think you would look good even if you weren't wearing anything.
Wait... that didn't come out right... I think you would look good IN anything.

But... as a long-time male who spent many years as woman-chaser, your necklace would make me question your availability. In the picture it looks like a heart. That 'often' suggests that the wear'er has either been given her beau's heart, or of course, that she ripped it out of his/her chest... Either way, it might frighten off a lesser man.
It's a beautiful pendant, but you probably have others just as nice.

I'm going to sit here and drink my Keemun tea, look at your picture, and wish I was a week or two younger...

That makes me long for a "Hostess" Ding Dong to go along with my Assam tea!

Don't know this one but look delicious. It asks you to try it!



Finished a cup of Formosa Dong Ding.
Its colour is light yellow. I guess it puts it a bit closer to green teas than to black.
Its taste is what I think of as a typical oolong. Good one at it. It is soft. I would prefer this typical oolong to the other one I have with dark brown colour when infused.
My wife is drinking Black Dragon oolong and likes it.

Nope, Johnny Depp can get away with pretty much anything. He even looks good dressed up as Jack Sparrow

You guys are doing wonders for my self-esteem

You're right about the necklace, but I really only have two. The one with the heart, which was given to me by my parents on my 18th birthday, and a silver necklace with a good luck charm.

But not to worry! I just went shopping Today's 'loot': 3 pairs of shoes (2 pairs of pumps and one pair of ballerina shoes), 2 necklaces, 1 bracelet, 3 sets of earrings and some much needed new underwear that actually fits me. Thank goodness for VISA. But I really can't go shopping again this month

Now hand me over one of those hostess ding dongs to go with my homemade Ice Tea Peach!
