At least they won't hit puberty all at once. Guess you'll have two shifts, first the two eldest children, then the two youngest. Hmmm, maybe that's even worse than all of them pubering (is that a word ?) at the same time.

always sparkling. I became addicted to it in Germany when pregnant with my son. I didn't have morning sickness, I had all day sickness and it was one of the few things I could keep down

your tea trivia for the day, about caffeine in tea;

Caffeine occurs naturally in tea. A mild stimulant, it accounts for tea’s reputation as a beverage that clears the mind and lifts the spirit.

On average, a six-ounce cup of black tea has about 50 milligrams of caffeine—less than half the amount in a cup of brewed coffee. The smaller the leaf, the stronger the extraction of caffeine. Using comparable amounts and steeping times, a tea bag filled with cut leaves will release more caffeine per cup than full-leaf tea.

The more oxidized the tea – as in black tea – the greater its caffeine content. Green tea and 100% White Tea, which are not oxidized, have less caffeine per cup than black tea. In between we have oolong tea, which is semi-oxidized and has about half as much caffeine as black tea.

I bought some packs of tea today: lime+lemon flavored black tea, jasmine green tea and English breakfast tea.

You caught me! My tea has 1% (sic!) cranberry, 5% cranberry flavouring! It has a bit of mint, though, as well as Hibiscus and Rosehip, which is actually a really nice combo.

We pubered at different times in my family. I'm the youngest of 4, and there's a 15 year span between youngest and oldest. At one time my mother had one in kindergarten, one in elementary school, one in high school, and one in college. She swears it kept her young!

(And H_T, you think this boy is giving you a run for your money...just wait until the GIRLS hit puberty! )

heheheh

My Mom had four kids, the eldest are 1 1/2 apart (they stillc an't talk to each other civilly. Well one, can't and one is just fine), the rest of us are 4 years apart.

We all have ADHD.

I am surprised that my Mother doesn't drink more.

After a fantastic cup of Keemun and a small break, a cup of Bancha Houjicha (or as they put it Houjicha is essentially roasted Bancha). I didn't see any difference between Bancha, Kokeicha or Sencha Yamato. However, Bancha Houjicha is a different kettle of fish. To a certain degree it reminds of me of brown oolong.

Cold Arabica-coffee.

Regular Coke.

I was raised as an only child (I have a half sister I met once). But Chris...lord I pity his poor mother. They have six kids. Chris is the oldest, at 39. Pat is the youngest, at 19(?).
In between there are Genni, Brian, Amy, and Peter. I guess it toughened up Chris's mom, as she's been through health issues that would have killed a lesser woman.
