I love things with unique names tho, be it teas, Yankee Candles (OK maybe not so much those), or IKEA merchandise.

It does sound like a joke list at times. :P

Unique names are fun. Funny names are... well... you know. XD

Withe everything so huge on my desktop PC, well... sometimes I feel like touching my screen, even though the screen isn't touch. :P

Tea is amazing. I drink tea everyday for my whole life now (with milk cause it kills teaine so it's better)

I like tea, but just normal ol' british tea. xD;

My screen resolution is 1440 x 900. :3

Sweet Candace December 21st, 2011 7:17 AM

I haven't had tea, probably because whenever I had coffee, I'd bounce of the walls, and I'm worried the same would happen if I'd have tea...

1920x1080 for me. But it's just about 21". So... It looks so tiny at 100%, so I jacked up the sizes to 125%. Much better. I also made the cursor larger.

Bad weather as well.

Ah, I'm using a 19" monitor for quite some time now, I've been thinking of replacing it actually though. Hmmm... Probably treat myself on my birthday, which is next month /excitment, cause I'm turnin' 16. :3

I don't drink it though. :P

Some of those sound really nice. I tend to add skim milk to my english breakfast tea. It helps cool it down a bit, because my tongue can't handle boiling tea.

Yeah, if you get it perfectly between the too cold or too hot. It is very appleasing.

Truality December 21st, 2011 8:23 AM

Oh, I have been informed that I'll be working on Christmas day as a gate keeper in my uncle's club. Neat! And I had nothing better to do. (I usually have a boring Christmas, in all honesty)

I hate hot beverages. I can't drink them right, and they just burn my tongue badly. If the day gets really really cold then I just buy it... it cools down faster. (hot chocolate ftw. :D)

Mr Cat Dog December 21st, 2011 9:43 AM

Mmmmm... tea! Although I'm partial to letting it cool for at least 10 minutes before even taking a sip. My parents, on the other hand, have what can only be described as asbestos tongues with regard to that stuff.

Eucliffe December 21st, 2011 9:44 AM

I don't know Razor Leaf too well (other than from what I've seen of his posts) so I can't congratulate him :< That said, I saw his Modding come from a mile away; I'm surprised it took this long though. Kind of the same deal with Andy (that is Raichu's name right) and Toujours. Then again I bet everyone else felt the same way o3o

I prefer cold beverages, even in the cold. Especially if they're smoothies <3

Palkia December 21st, 2011 9:51 AM

I usually prefer cold food and drinks any time of the year. What matters to me is what it tastes like.

Haha, my grandmother and mother have that kind of tongue. It's like I taste something and go "HOT HOT!", but when they try it they go: "don't be like a baby, it's cold already".

Man, talk about a granite tongue.

Vena Sera December 21st, 2011 10:21 AM

If it's Tea or Coffee I'll drink it. So very good. o/

Nihilego December 21st, 2011 10:31 AM

lol yoshikkko

As far as hot drinks go, I don't really like any of them tbh. Usually because they need milk in them which I can't have so there goes most coffee and hot chocolate. People say that most teas don't need milk, but I've never tried one like that.

Mr Cat Dog December 21st, 2011 10:32 AM

Camomile tea is quite nice, but it's definitely an acquired taste. If you put milk in THAT tea, you'll make it taste all kinds of horrible!

Eucliffe December 21st, 2011 10:37 AM

I've never had chamomile. Maybe some day.

Can't have milk in tea either. The only kind I like is chocolate almond milk~

Sweet Candace December 21st, 2011 11:14 AM

I only drink coffee when I put some milk in it. Can't drink strong, black coffee.

I tried and didn't like camomile tea, the packet lied to me, it said it was soothing.

I really like just some english breakfast tea with some milk, no sugar. I hate sugar in my tea.

Kura December 21st, 2011 12:05 PM

Someone at work made me this blackcurrant tea today.. usually I hate tea but it was actually really nice! :3

Saitou December 21st, 2011 12:06 PM

I dislike the bitter taste of black coffee so I tend to put 4 to 5 medium-sized spoons of sugar. I rarely drink tea but if I do I add a lot of milk and sugar.

Eucliffe December 21st, 2011 12:08 PM

All this talk of tea makes me want to go out and pour some Chik-Fil-A sweet tea. /you know how you can buy a gallon of their iced tea/lemonade there?

Yes I like sweetened Ice Tea.

Still warm Green Tea is <3

Ooh, I like green tea. It's my favourite. :3

Meganium December 21st, 2011 12:45 PM

Chamomile tea is perfect if you need a quick boost to combat sickness (like me, I *still* have this horrible cough that won't go away!). I also drink Seven Blossoms Tea. That tea will knock. you. out.

Lemony iced tea for the win. I drink it almost every single day, pretty much.

Shining Raichu December 21st, 2011 12:54 PM

I'm not a fan of tea. It's a little bland-tasting and it doesn't calm me down like they say tea is meant to lol

Palamon December 21st, 2011 1:51 PM

Tea... I've only tried tea a couple of times and I don't like it at all. It tastes worse than water! I'm not very fond of coffee, either.

Oh, and if anyone cares: I'm turning fifteen in five days. :3

Is it bad that I kind of forgot to ask for Skyward Sword for Christmas? :c My Dad asked me what I wanted, and all I said was a tablet. I suppose I could ask for it from my Mom, but haha what are the chances.

Nihilego December 21st, 2011 5:48 PM

Skyward Sword... That's on the Wii, right? If so I can't even play it at all, lmao. I just got a 3DS and no way am I allowing myself to buy another console!

I would have asked for Skyward Sword if I wasn't moved out, and the Wii wasn't a family Wii.

I couldn't take it with me wehh.

You got a car before you got your license? 0_o I only got my car because my aunt died and she left it to me...;___;

Also, I hear starting out with manual is good since you are forced to learn it, and once you do, you are set for life. xD I started with automatic, thus if I had to drive someone else's car and it was stickshift, I would be screwed, lol.

donavannj December 21st, 2011 7:37 PM

You just need to be attentive when you're driving. I don't know how to drive a manual, but I've heard enough tips that I could probably figure it out if I had to.

The minivan I share with my brother probably needs some work done on its steering column, but it's still going even after 185,000 (?) miles and nearly 14 years in existence. It looks like crap but it starts every time!

Minivans are tough because of they way they're built (larger, taller, heavy wagon-style vehicles). They just don't have much power in their engines for a vehicle of that size and the bottom of the vehicle is pretty low to the ground (and most are only two wheel drive, making for some fun fishtailing on slushy/snowy roads in the winter). Most have enough spare power to be able to tow something behind them, though.

Kenshin5 December 21st, 2011 7:53 PM

Yeah it sure isn't worth the price of the engine. Glad I got a back up truck, only thing is Diesel is so expensive these days.

Does that include the transmission? Or everything but the transmission?

Replaced the transmission for that minivan I mentioned back in February out of my own pocket. The whole deal cost about $2900 in total for a lot of other work we had them do since we had already sunk money into replacing the battery just before that winter (for safety reasons, of course). Probably got another 5 or 6 years out of that engine by doing that. Cheaper than buying something that would actually outlive the repair work, since we know the vehicle history and we wouldn't be able to tell if a car was near the end of its engine's lifespan if we were to buy something in that price range.

Oryx December 21st, 2011 8:06 PM

From what they have on it only says engine only. Yeah winter is pretty rough on batteries for sure. I'd go with whatever gives me more of a guarantee for the long run. Although if you are in the situation where you need something here and now I suppose you gotta do what you gotta due. Funny thing with my car is we got a new battery after my battery from 05 died in June/July.

Morkula December 21st, 2011 8:30 PM

Mom just had to get new tires, bearings, and ball joints on her car...cost over $2,000. I'm lucky, the highest bill I've ever had on a car (other than tires and brakes) was like $100. My cars have been really reliable, though my old car that I totaled in March was probably going to need some work soon with timing belt and stuff.

Was the one with tires and brakes cause someone else chipped in? Cause for me that would probably total $400+ for just a new set not even including the brakes.

Morkula December 21st, 2011 8:34 PM

I meant not counting tires and brakes. Obviously they're expensive...although when I had brakes put on we had a family friend do it so it cost a lot less than going to the mechanic's shop. But yeah, tires are awful, and my car now has 16" tires (the old one had 15") so they're going to be more expensive.

donavannj December 21st, 2011 8:36 PM

Body work is the most expensive type of car work, I've found.

Though we've put a ton of money into brakes the last couple of years because I was kind of a leadfooted driver when I first started out and my brother is even worse than I was when it comes to being a leadfoot who slams on the brakes.

Kenshin5 December 21st, 2011 8:49 PM

I was more of a horrible parker and still am, then a leadfoot. Although I have intentionally went over the speed limit on several occasions(luckily no cops where around)

If I had siblings and they wanted to learn, I'd definitely charge them, cause I figure they would probably stress me out to no end having me think that it would get crashed. I don't know how those Drivers ED people do it on a daily basis riding with a bunch of noobs, outside of having the brake on the passengers side of course.

donavannj December 21st, 2011 8:59 PM

I have had ridiculous luck not getting pulled over for speeding at times. My brother on the other hand, who isn't as attentive as I am in general, not so much (he didn't see the speed limit change and he hasn't figured out where the cops like to sit for their speed traps).

The car we share is actually one my parents bought 13/14 years ago as a primary family vehicle (new at that!). The primary driver of it is the one who gets the fun of paying for any repairs needed, though.

This is the damage my brother did to it last winter, and it's still missing that part. That rear door is unrelated to his damage and was caused by me before I got my license.

donavannj December 21st, 2011 9:44 PM

Because of certain kinds of road traps (in order to essentially get someone's insurance premium - a kind of fraud) being particularly prevalent some years back, my state of Minnesota is a no-fault state for insurance purposes.

It very much bugs me when people don't signal, but sometimes I do forget to until the last minute myself because the turn "sneaks up" on me.

A dog ran in front of my car and I slammed the brake hard enough to break the brake pedal.

Guess who no longer stops or slows down for dogs/cats/squirrels now?

I think someone hit the brakes too hard. ;)

Seriously, though, I do think you did. Even if your car didn't have ABS built in.

The car was from 1986 so it WAS old as dirt. Mostly leadfoot though, but age did play a part in it.

My little brother suffers from lead foot syndrome, ahaha.

That was probably the most significant factor over a newer car. The brake could have had a very thin lever to the pedal, while modern cars tend to have sturdier levers for the brakes.

That is quite insane. Wouldn't it be awesome if this activity level kept up for the duration of the thread's existence?

Impo December 21st, 2011 10:59 PM

I don't actually know what to consider active-est in a thread, to be honest :S

I was sick earlier this week. Sucks bein' sick, yeah. My head's spinnin' all around! xD

I just lay down and try not to move much whenever I'm sick. Chances are, I'll fall asleep anyways.

Welcome to six years ago. I have no real interest in reliving the past, though.

I've basically had a headache a good chunk of the day. However, instead of just sitting 'round doing nothing, my sister and I went on a walk to get fat McDonalds, since it's the closest place we can walk to and eat something for well... cheap. Then later I took and shower and then started sneezing and sniffling. Funfun! I don't let sicknesses get in my way!

Ivysaur December 22nd, 2011 1:22 AM

I have been sick three weeks in the last two months, and I'd like to stay healthy for the reast of the month XD I'm not specially prone to getting sick, but I don't know what's wrong this year. Maybe the exam stress?

Legendary Silke December 22nd, 2011 1:47 AM

I haven't been sick since, like, forever.

Palkia December 22nd, 2011 2:03 AM

I have a minor headache now, and I seem to have them all the time. Infact, I usually don't feel well for some reason I don't know.

Also 2 years ago.

Though the discussion quality has generally gone up since 2005 and 2009, even if it is cyclical at times.

I've been sick way more often than usual this year. I probably need more exercise and better nutrition to keep my immune system in top shape.

Karma Police December 22nd, 2011 3:04 AM

this place be crazy

anyways, since the current discussion seems to be about sickness, well, I hadn't been sick for quite some time until about 2-3 weeks ago when I got fever. The change in seasons always gets me xD

The last major illness that I remember I had was way back in Sep 2010, when I got Swine Flu. After that, I may have had fever like once or twice (or maybe more lol)

I maintain that discussion quality in the DCC has remained consistently low all throughout. Some things never change, I suppose.

Truality December 22nd, 2011 3:52 AM

I've been sick for three days straight, but I don't care, because it's snowing, and because I stuck my face to the window and I look like a retarded kid. But I'm happy.

Shining Raichu December 22nd, 2011 3:55 AM

this is a Daily Chit-Chat, why would the discussion quality need to be high? Chill.

Elite Overlord LeSabre™ December 22nd, 2011 4:42 AM

Well, fortunately, I'm not sick and there's no snow. In fact, if I'm lucky, we won't have a White Christmas this year... though we still won't enjoy temperatures in the 80's...

I never saw the appeal of a White Christmas anyway... all it does is make the roads dangerous and deadly.
