Black tea with no milk? :eek:

Black tea with no milk... is easy... ( but the colour is dark amber ).... black coffee takes skill... I use it when I am fasting because black tea or coffee does not break a fast... but I prefer one cream with my coffee... tea... NOTHING...

Well an admission the Brits may want to hear @Rita @Pearl @Mungo @Helen

When a tea bag has a black tea label on it, I use milk, I hope this is legal. :D

Truman ~
A quick story. My mother had dementia. Each time we visited I could observe the degrees of what and who she could not remember.
To my own advantage, for years I had talked with my mom About her life, people she knew, things she did and thought and said growing up.
When she began forgetting my dad, (as her husband) and then us kids...my Uncle (dads brother) would say to me how sorry he felt for my mom's "condition". I would say WHY be sorry? She does not grieve over my dad, she does not feel bad about her distance from her kids....
Of course when we visited, I simply went back and back to what she did remember, which actually gave us a pleasant visit that she could participate in. Like her life in reverse. Shortly before she passed, we were talking about her life as 6-7 yr old. She knew her address, her school, her friends, things they did, recollections of her parents and siblings....calling them by name (which to otherwise speak of them in later years was a blank).
Kind of a strange thing, of her vivid recollection, having a giggle, talkative, but couldn't remember an hour earlier.
* Personally, I think when an elderly person with memory issues is in a "rest home", sure the physicaly needs are met...but no personal history of that person is ever accomplished...by the "staff" or other "patrons".
And those people are and LOOK, sad, lonely, and out of place.


God Bless,
Taken

FIRST FOURTEEN ODD PRIME NUMBERS IN SYMMETRICAL ORDER

Except for 2 all Prime Numbers are odd. By convention 1 is not considered a Prime.

The only whole number factors of Primes are themselves and 1.

Non-primes are called Composite Numbers and may have many factors.
eg.
The 9 factors of 36 are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36
The factor pairs of 36 are:
1 × 36 = 36
2 × 18 = 36
3 × 12 = 36
4 × 9 = 36
6 × 6 = 36

The logic of math.
Math not particularly a inquisitive interest of mine. My dad was a very natural high IQ math genius., (but not a teacher!) ONE time, I asked my dad to teach me the concept of Algebra....he said take a piece of paper, write the problem on the top line of the paper. I did. He looked at it, wrote the answer on the last line of the paper and said, now you figure what goes on the lines inbetween. LOL
My dad's story of his "public school" years has more to it....but for me, ya, well I do like to figure "Logic problems", but not so much with the "math" aspect.
But thanks for explaining your post.

Glory to God,
Taken

Hi @Rita I used to drink the dark, gluey coffee that is served on the Continent of Europe, but haven't drunk it in a long time...
I don’t like the really strong coffee, Costa is my favourite. At the moment they do an oat coconut latte with added vitamins and zinc !

@Rita I suppose that caffeine in quantities is at least obliquely comparable to nicotine. (I know that some Christians with their rules might tie themselves into knots trying to prove that this is not the case.)

Actually I've quit coffee completely.

My cuppa of choice is Earl Grey without milk or sugar and brewed to a nice weakish amber colour. I never had black coffee which I like with a dash of cream.

Do you drink it out of a mug or cup and saucer Pearl ?
Earl Grey always sounds so posh to me ( I like the taste though ) just reminds me of posh afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off !!!!!( oh and don’t forget to lift the little finger as you raise the cup and drink……Hyacinth bucket comes to mind !!!! Lol )

@Rita You would enjoy this; at the place I go where I am served Earl Grey tea - all very proper-sounding, right? - the cheerful lady who serves me the Earl Grey has a punk hairstyle and ear plugs... :)

I use a pretty china mug with poppies on most of the time but also sometimes a cup and saucer with blue irises. And I have to say i don't do 'posh'. I got into drinking it after I had Bell's palsy and my taste buds altered and I found I didn't like ordinary tea anymore. I'm over that now but prefer the EG.

I gave up sugar in my tea when I was told I was diabetic and then a bit later learned that tea without milk was more beneficial (I've forgotten why) and I found it didn't taste much different.

I remember my father helping me with homework when I was 8 or 9 but given that he was 48 years older than me, in laters years it was best not to involve him.

I'm not quick with stuff but by observing things at my own pace I have found treasures, such as the pleasing pattern produced by multiples of 9.
