Tea for two

Hola, tea exchangers!

I hope everyone is enjoying their tea (or at least the prospect of their tea - I'm sure this is not the only place where it's too hot to boil water). It's almost August, so I'm going to send out tea exchange round 2 information late this week or early next. A few things:

1. If once was enough, just let me know, and I'll take your name off the list.

2. If you want to join in the fun, go fill out the poll (and put your email address in there somewhere if it's not on your info page, because I was an idiot and forgot to include a spot for that).

3. If you have not received your tea, please say something - I know there are a few people who are worried about whether their tea package has safely traversed the wilds of the postal system(s).

4. Does every two months work for people? It seems like it was enough time for everyone to get organized. Would you prefer more often? Less often? Or maybe you'd just like a poll.

[Poll #539873]

5. No, that's it.

Oh wait, I'm not in the tea exchange. Nevermind.

That I am a coffee drinker?

That you should make a filter?

That I am a total pain in the ass?

That the US Postal Service SUCKS?

Oh, and I forgot, this post was an excuse for me to comment spam you today.

I have not recieved tea.

But I have not mailed my tea yet, so it serves me right. It's wrapped and labelled and everything, it just has not yet made it to the post office. Wednesday after work, i PROMISE, that tea will hit the road.

*shame*

You have my e-mail address. And this is good because I'm too lazy to go back and enter it in the poll. I have ironing to do, domestic goddess that I am.

Every two months is perfect for me - just enough time to procrastinate a teeny little bit, but still get the tea sent at the right time. :)

I look forward to a time when I can think about boiling water for tea without wanting to die because of the heat.

I keep thinking the tea exchange! that would be so cool! and then I remember that I've given up drinking as much caffeine and I've got tea I bought in november or was a christmas gift I haven't opened yet.

1) You need to drink caffeine-free herbal tea!

2) Or maybe not so much for you with the tea. :)

I drink much herbal tea and I convinced my workplace to re-stock my favorite sort. They had let it run out!

[identity profile] sarrabellum.livejournal.com 2005-07-26 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's possible for your tea swap info to state that you'd only like caffeine-free teas?

[identity profile] bureinato.livejournal.com 2005-07-27 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a good idea, and since I've been wandering around my kitchen thinking of all the tea I overbought that I could ship off I'm going to sign up.

I am glad I was not born before tea

I just want to say that I finally sent my tea (on Saturday, so I'm still waiting to hear if she received it)! And if I haven't been banished, I would like to participate again. I have extra tea purchased specifically for a swap so I shouldn't have the delay issues this time.

Though I e-mailed [livejournal.com profile] sh1mm3r to let her know, I didn't tell *you* that I had gotten my tea package from her. But I did! And it's wonderful!

Can I join?

Absolutely - go add your info to the poll (link above, because I'm too lazy to find it again) and I will add you to the list

Sadly, I have proven myself utterly incompetent at reading instructions,
and submitted my poll preferences without any personal info.

So, for the record, should any tea-exchangers wish to, er, exchange tea, I can be reached at cstory@magma.ca, and I'll forward all relevant personal tea-exchnage information so said exchange of tea may be exchanged.
