Ahhh yes, thank you very much Kathy person -- that IS the name of the tea that smells like yesterday's fire. Interesting stuff, but alas, I'll not try it.

** Things are quiet once more as the girls sip their tea and watch Kathy spread strawberry jam atop said scone **

Mmm, jam. Ladies, please don't watch me do my "Homer Simpson yummy food drooling" imitation, ok?![]()

The girls all politely watch kathy do her Homer imitation (lol!), and someone realizes that this is a COFFEE thread, and we have all been enjoying tea, albeit, lovely tea.
Kiz_Paws decides to pull out her cool Icelandic coffee-maker, and within moments, steamy delicious coffee is available. As they help themselves, the girls decide that no boys allowed isn't so bad afterall .... yet there is no one to tease here.....![]()

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

I humbly accept your compliment, as I worried that perhaps I had stumbled into this site and bit by bit changed the direction that this thread was going ... you know? This is great fun ... even though the STONES that were consumed WERE POISON!!!
** insert extremely tense violin music here **
Leave us not forget that cats have nine lives, I am a kiz_paws, ergo, I move that I'd only be forfeiting one of my nine...??? (she hoped?), and would gladly lend any remaining of the eight to assist my good friends here!
So there!![]()

Yes, Please come in....have a seat...What would you like to have? Filter Coffee?

Everyone is extremely comfortable in their little Girls Only place. It is a lovely place, situated in a turret of a very large castle. Naturally, the room is round, and windows look out at a magnificent acreage below.
The fragrance of plums permeates the air, as Kiz_paws has a penchant for scented candles, and there is a lot of giggling going on, in this special place.
"Yes, do come in", the girls call out to a smiling vin1391....

I've missed so much in my absence!!
I was going to ask if there were and scones left, but seeing as they turned out to be poison, I suppose I'd better not. Muffin anyone??**produces a plateful of freshly-baked confections**.
Ooh I believe I've had the chinese tea. It's quite strong, if I remember correctly. I'm not partial to coffee myself, but if you mix it with hot chocolate and top it with whipped cream, I'm in! I can't say no to a café mocha!!![]()
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
Puh-lease, like anything happens here on this thread!I've missed so much in my absence!!![]()
