Me - it has to be a big mug, when i UK (NEVER drink tea in US tastes odd)
i put in milk first (got to be semi skimmed long life) - then add tea bag then add water then squidge the tea bag so its the colour of dishwater then add a dash more milk

Then......I fling the whole lot over my laptop - like i did last week and it cost £30 for a new keyboard and labour......

You seem to have spelt "mug" and "milk" incorrectly.

My grandparents used to warm the pot, the cup, and the spoon.

That could be hot tea in the Russian style--delicious!! Hot concentrated tea from the pot into a tall glass, add your own water to taste, then lemon, with sugar, jam, or honey to sweeten . . . . no milk. Lovely!


Anyone warm the milk first? I've had that in France a few times--very good. Keeps the tea nicely hot to the end.

Turning right on a red light (been mentioned before).
The Weather Channel.
Buying ice cream by the gallon.
Buying furniture and getting it delivered the same day (unlike the 6-8 week wait we always had in the UK).
Being able to get a plumber out when you need one.
The fact that off-ramps on the Interstate are numbered for the nearest mile marker.
People like my accent.
Drive through ATMs.
I can borrow as many books as I want from the public library.
Women's clothes are labeled with a smaller size.
Target.
National Parks.
State Parks.
Designer Outlet Malls.
My walk in closet.
My huge bath with bubble jets.
Being able to make sausage rolls and a cake from scratch makes me some sort of domestic goddess.

As a bit of a treat (I do not normally have sugar in tea) I like to make my version of chai, lots of tea, water and condensed milk all boiled in a pan.
(I dislike American chai, which has herbs but no sweetener)

PBS and the collection of kids shows, generally pretty good.

Verizon have a pretty decent collection on demand too, and the DVR to fill kids shit with, about all it gets used for these days.

But it's all counted against the fact that our service has been shit lately, blacking out randomly every few minutes for a few seconds at a time at the worst and it's just the tele aspect of it too.

Yes, this is correct everywhere in the States *except* New York City. Right on red is allowed unless there's some sign or red arrow prohibiting it. The husband & I were confused when we moved to New England this summer & he researched it.

(I guess not that many people drive into NYC but we do, so the one exception to the rule is important to us . . . .)

Love this! In fact I love our local library, which is much more of a social centre than my local branch back in the UK. There's a coffee machine & special tilted tables for reading the newspapers. It's still quiet, but seems more a place one can hang out than the UK libraries tended to be.

Our library is also amazing. It is huge, you can borrow as much as you like too. There are lots of social groups going on, courses, meetings, it is the hub of the community, more like a shopping Mall than a library. The teenagers hang out at the library in the evenings to study together! Its a way cool place to go. Mind you we pay for it in our taxes, worth every cent.

Grits, hush puppies, crawfish pie, drive through beer stores in PA, Montana in the summer, Macinaw Island in MI. The incredible abundance of trees and driving across the Rockies in January!
