As I've said before, I love Darjeeling tea. I've been drinking it exclusively for years now. My last tea store visit I decided I would treat myself to the second flush Darjeeling tea which is significantly more expensive. I only bought a quarter pound to try and then my normal pound of regular Darjeeling tea. Here is what google says about the second flush: Second Flush Darjeeling is a prized summer-harvested black tea (late May–June) known as the "Champagne of teas" for its distinct, complex, and mature flavor profile. I brewed a pot and will admit it is a clean crisp black tea that's ideal for serving over ice. However, I'm very spoiled to the thicker taste, if you will, of the regular Darjeeling tea. I'm getting low on tea and remembered I have almost a quarter pound of the second flush in the pantry. So, I'm drinking some now. I have a fear that by the time I drink a quarter pound of second flush my regular tea will taste muddy. The second flush is very smooth and clean tasting. My taste might change when I shop again. The Darjeeling tea is $36 a pound and the second flush Darjeeling tea is $48 a pound.

No worries, bless my wife's heart, she informed me Alcaraz won. I'm watching the rebroadcast now. It's the first set with Djokovic looking great. I have a lot of respect for the guy. I would have enjoyed the anticipated Sinner Alcaraz matchup but this is entertaining so far. A fun tournament to watch. I was a huge fan of Rod Laver while growing up. There is a good reason the main arena bears his name.

vivo have begun rolling out the January 2026 security patch to their global models of the X Fold3 Pro. This update also has optimizations for Android 16 as detailed in the screenshot.

I had to work far too hard for my money to speculate with what I managed to gather about me. I do not gamble. I realize that I will never be rich but I have no intentions of being desperately poor as I once was.

No snowmageddon here in Hong Kong.

most of us are old farts, can you show us a video on here?

One reason why I use a Samsung phone these days.

The Big CFP National Championship Game was tonight and was a dandy. The battle between Indiana and Miami was a pretty evenly matched contest that Indiana ultimately won 27 - 21. On Miami's last drive, with time slipping away, their QB was intercepted. Indiana kneeled off the rest of the clock to get the Win.

When 2 of our dogs were young they would always ride in my Ford Expedition, on the center console. They slipped off so many times...

It was Smart launcher, I did not had to factoy reset it again so soon. YAY.

Too bad you do not put as much interest, in saving our Country, as you do desecrating your body ....

I do not answer calls from a number not in my directory. I haven't answered an unknown number in over a decade. I don't cut the call short, I just let it ring. I'll give a voice mail a look but rarely is any left. I get maybe two unknown calls a week.

I rarely ever get any calls from outside my contacts list. After the Boss Lady had her surgeries I'd get calls from the doctor, hospital, etc, and they'd come through. My call filter blocks known spam calls automatically.

Ah my brain fart of the day lately was,I forgot to check in with mom about my wifi service and she said it was about 95% used up, so no more streaming or anything, she does not knew I just factory reset my device oh only yesterday ... OOOPS, but I am glad I was able to back up my main apps and everything else, went super quick, so there was no waiting until it was riden over.. No wonder the wifi was spotty on my cell latey.

I just learned that actor Pat Finn, probably best known from "The Middle," though also from story arcs on "Friends" and "Seinfeld" (and lots of other shows) died of bladder cancer on December 22nd. He was 60.

RIP, Mr. Finn, and thanks for sharing your talents and adding laughter to the world. Condolences to your fans, friends, family and loved ones.

My present Android player is Musicolet. On the PC I'm old school like Hadron and use an old rev of WinAmp. I pretty much got out of the mp3 game when Napster hit the scene.

We have one for a bit now, and now drinking Donut decafinated coffee, it is amazing flavor and texture over all. Mom bought one for her one time for the volenteer group, it takes up a lot less counterspace and no more putting in beans in it! (We still have some beans inside the bags and everything.)

Yeah whenever that was, our big breaker quit on us one random day, so my mother's boyfriend is a part time farmer for us, he does mostly electrical stuff, so he was able to switch it on and off for us. That was a bit ago.

Sorry for the confusing. Yes the pop-up screen appears, stays, and shows the caller, but the announcement through my bluetooth earpiece is only once and after the first ring. I'd like the caller to be announced more than once.

Best way would be check on your home screen's cellphone icon and acutally look at it.

app data is pretty small in comparison to say pictures or videos. you will hardly notice any difference....especially from a messaging app like telegram....unless you have hundreds of conversations you want to backup....so i doubt you will see any significant difference in storage space being saved doing so.

I sent a few letters when the postage rate was four cents. I sent lots of postage with five cent stamps. Seventy eight cents seems unreal considering the service is far from what it once was.

I remember three cents before 1963

I fried some french fries last night in the air fryer. I discovered there is a setting just for frying fresh cut fries and tried it. I've been frying them with a custom setting of 400° for 20 minutes. The factory setting of my air fryer had the temp at 450° for 20 minutes. I pulled the fries before the timer went off but I think they would have been fine if left for the full time. At least I didn't have to add time like before. Live and learn.... and trust the machine.
