Yes, an hour ago. Good morning

I agree 100%.

Rooibos in my cup.

I do the almost the same; "Quick Links" to "Suscribed Threads." That shows me any subscribed thread with new activity, and I look at those, responding where I wish. When those are finished, if I have something I wish to post in another subscribed thread. Then, I look at THIS thread, which always takes the most time. Later in the day, when I have more time, I look in "Quick Links" for "Today's Posts." If something catches my eye, I read it. If not... I probably miss 50% or more of the postings, but that's OK. I don't want to spend too much time on the net. I have books to read, guitars to play, motorcycles to ride, and photographs to take. I need to make time for all!

Afternoon rains call for a Ceylon tea. Can you hear them?

Run???? But I love to swim when its raining

I hate to have clothes hanging around the flat to dry. Reminds me of certain quarters of Naples

In my cup: Rooibos Orange Lemon Lime

And yet, you always stay on topic

As for my Russian Morning blend. Yes, astra, it is a very good one! So far, I love nearly all Kusmi teas I bought. There is a flavoured black I am not so keen on Prince Vladimir (Blend of Chinese black tea flavoured with citrus, vanilla and spices.) Others are superb, the green nanah for example or the green roses and they do the most wonderful grey blends like Anastasia or the flower bouquet, which was the favourie of Tzar Nicolas. Now that makes me feel a decadent dissident

I think we misunderstand each other

1. Not ALL new posts.


Only new Threads.

2. Not ALL, only from chosen forums, only 8 from 50+ (look below).

As you can see in the example of the today's email with the new threads posted in General Discussions - it lists 5 new threads. So, instead of browsing the General Discussions forum, I receive 1 email notification in the morning with the list of the new threads in the last 24 hours.
There are 50+ forums? I am only interested in

"General Discussions"
"Politics and Religion"
"News"
"Sony Reader"
"Deals, Freebies, and Resources"
"Lounge"
"Feedback"
"Announcements"

but instead of browsing each of them looking for the new threads, I receive 1 morning email for each of them with the list.
In the example of today's news letter from General Discussions there are 5 new. I am not interested in any one. I just deleted this email. I do not have to go to General Discussions today and browse it.

You are a fast reader, we know about it
Going through a list of new posts my life would grind to a halt

[Poppaea]

Your list approach is sensible. I might adopt it.

I go to the home page, hot topics, polls, attachments (yes, I know it is ridiculous), latest forum acitivity.

then my page, to follow my posts. then the different forums. But I am lazy. I find more practical to follow the posts of people that I like. In a way I am a vampire ...

Its a ten minute bike ride to for a swim in the lake or at the Olympic stadium, which is where my Swim club is.

The houses at the border of the forrest are haunted by hoards of boars in the evenings We also have dears. It is nice here but I am not able to afford more than 55 qm. As I am single it is ok.... uhm, it were ok were I a more tidy person. I tend to gather stuff. Books, clothes and I hate those wall long closets, which makes being tidy a tad difficult

Anyway, it is NOT me being untidy, I blame it all on the cat

Of course is the cat.
Ah Berlino! Wonderful town, if I just had more occasions to go there ... Ah ...
What's wrong with 55 qm? In Paris we were two in 40 qm, plus bycicles, roller skates, tennis equipment and what else ...

Actually nothing, it is just, the flat I had before was double the size. I am spoiled, that is

Maybe it is my imagination, correct me if I am wrong but is there a double meaning to your comment? In a sense if staying 20+ forever?

Ah, ok. Well I just don't like getting update emails I guess, of any kind. But I understand what you are saying.
