Pamela,Oh gosh! Do take care.
Does this include herbal fruit teas?
I appreciate that sentiment, my literary friend!

Actually, the doctor said herbal teas are more risky than green or black teas b/c herbals actually include more pesticides. Who knew? I do grow my own mint tea and brew that at times, but it's not growing well this year. I think we had to much rain in late spring...the tea got flooded out.

After watcing every night, I still haven't seen the comet. Where did you see it? In what part of the sky? I'm going to try to see it again tonight!"
Well after looking it up, I'm not sure if that's what I was seeing or not! Everyone talks like it's visible in the evening and is so small it's hard to see without binoculars, but what I saw was very clear and bright. It would have been about 3:30 AM. I think it was in the NE (another inconsistency). I may have to set my alarm early tomorrow morning and look for it again!
This is exactly what it looked like to me...
It looks like a falling star.
Allyson, how could you not like cats????!!!! π± I love them all...even lions. π
Emma wrote: "It looks like a falling star."Yeah it does, only it was stationary!

I love dogs, too. I had many over the years...beagles & cocker spaniels. When the last beagle passed on, I did not get any more b/c of my illness. I already had my cats by then, but won't get anymore cats either. Queen Elizabeth said it best when she said now that she's in her nineties, she won't replace her beloved corgis because she doesn't want to leave them behind when she passes on. Amen to that!

You got me curious so I just did a little bit of research, and what people were saying according to similar pictures, is that is a comet. π€·π»ββοΈ

I had wanted a dog my whole life, but I finally just got one a few years ago, and then not long later, we started breeding dogs, so now I always have LOTS of dogs in my life!! π
Yes, I do understand that. π’

Meg wrote: "This is exactly what it looked like to me..."
How beautiful! I really hope I see it and will watch again tonight. Maybe there are too many lights around my neighborhood. I want to walk to the church behind my house and sit in the pavilion there. It's much darker and surrounded by fields. Hopefully, I'll see it. I may have to stay awake all night...they say it peaks over the next few days! I'm determined to see it!
Meg wrote: "Allyson, how could you not like cats????!!!! π± I love them all...even lions. π"I love big cats, too! There's a zoo not far from where I live and they have the most beautiful jaguars. It's called the Elmwood Park Zoo. The last time I visited, the mother had 2 babies about 4 months old. I sat and watched them for hours! It was fascinating to see them! I check up on them regularly on their website!

Allyson, you may come out of the corner only if you write 100 times..."I do like cats! I do like cats!" LOL!
Pammy Jo
Gee, have we discussed N.E.L. much at all today?? : 0(or better still the NFL!!!) LOL!!!

Yeah, I was going to ask what the original question even was? π The last one I found was the one about Edgar Allen Poe...was that already answered?
I'm not really a stickler for getting a little off-topic, but I will drop a gentle hint that we do have a chat thread where some of these comments would be more appropriate. π

Meg, you've been gone a week, you should do a question! (I'll refrain from guessing Hawthorne right now) ππ€£

Ruth was being funny with that question, π, so I don't know if we were ever told. Though I'm perty sure I was right...

ALLYSON!!!! π²
You know, this has shown me just how large a number one hundred is!ππ
Dorry, who's senses are you talking about??
You couldn't have just copied and pasted, Allyson!!!??!!
OK, my question...(Ruth, please forgive me if I'm interrupting...I'm still a little muddled on what's going on around here!π)
What were Henry David Thoreau's last intelligible words on his deathbed?

It would have been a lot easier if you have left out the "not"! π
Meg wrote: "OK, my question...(Ruth, please forgive me if I'm interrupting...I'm still a little muddled on what's going on around here!π)
What were Henry David Thoreau's last intelligible words on his deathbed?"
I'm guessing it wasn't, "I hope Hawthorne knows I'm a better writer than he is."

Okay, so I looked up the answer, and it kinda got me giggling! But don't worry, I won't reveal it unless no one else can get it.

I don't believe I've read much of Thoreau to be able to tell - but now you've got me curious!!
