Nicole M Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 People. People, we're getting a little off track here. First off, don't you have children to educate and accomplishate during the day? It's been killing me, all day long, doing our school work, knowing the tea discussion would still be brewing - and it has been! But so many, many unanswered questions! 37 some-odd percent of you voted "don't own and have no desire to own" and what does that mean? Does that mean that all you people can produce a cup of tea, heck, some of you are talking POTs of tea, with no electrical appliances, and never have? All your lives? How the Sam Hill did you figure that out? :willy_nilly: I am finding this whole notion entirely incoceivable. You have rocked my world, ladies. Clearly I have not been reading enough women's magazines or something. I have to go back and look through all those links to tea making instructional websites. And who was it who said 10 or more appliances?! Bless you! It never occurred to me that a person was allowed a collection. To me, it would have seemed like owning more than one dishwasher. I see now I was wrong. I have more questions, but they may need to go in their own threads. I am reeling. Really. A new day is dawning. You have no idea....

To me, it would have seemed like owning more than one dishwasher. I see now I was wrong. Oh so very wrong, indeed, were you. They are NOT created equally. Some are purely utilitarian. Others are more fun to watch and listen to. Others are good in concept, but not in reality. Some break after the first rinse cycle. Then there are those that help you find your way in the dark. And the funny thing is, no two people will likely agree on which falls into which category. If you've only tried one kind, you just might not know what you're missing.

How the Sam Hill did you figure that out? You do realize, Nicole, that as the author of this post, I basically admitted to having lived this long (married almost 18 years, hormonal since...???) with no instant hot water tap, no dishwasher, and the need to make a fire under my tea kettle by using the age old method of rubbing the fool out of some wood and a little bit of fluff? :tongue_smilie: Some of us do manage without appliances. Laura Ingalls' got nothin' on me, sista - I'm like a flippin' PIONEER! And, for the record, I have to clarify that it's not smoke & mirrors we're talking about. No way.

All your lives? How the Sam Hill did you figure that out? Well I used to like to think that it had something to do with libido because every women I knew that could do this had a very high libido. So I figured it came with the territory. High libido = quick and easy cups of tea. Unfortunately my oldest dd disabused my of this idea. Her libido sounds like it is exactly the same as mine but she can brew a cup of tea in five minutes flat with no electricity what-so-ever. I finally decide it must be my type A personality. I am a goal oriented person. I know what works fairly quickly for me and I want to accomplish my goal and move on to the next task. I don't want to take the time to learn a new method of brewing tea. I do sometimes worry though: what would I do if I had an emergency tea brewing need and no electricity? I guess that would give me the motivation to figure it out, eh?

PinkInTheBlue Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'm telling you, you ladies who have very slow brewing tea and want more instant tea or you ladies who would love to enjoy many cups of tea in one visit really deserve to educate yourselves. Whether electric brewing or not (preferably both) I really recommend serious education and exploration. There is so much out there in the tea world for us ladies that IS indeed possible. I spent years saying, "I'm happy with my 2 hour-waiting one cup of tea every so often. I'm fine" only to find out there's a plethora of options. It's very possible to do miracles for your married life too; sharing more than just the same old fine cup of tea. ;) Arm yourselves with education!

Psst! Mrs. Mungo! Did you read Spy Car's post in that other thread about politics?

Amy in Orlando Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Ah, that is the question! :tongue_smilie:For me there are many reasons that I'm not always "on" or "ready" for tea. Eliana covered some of it. It's hard to find time to talk and feel connected sometimes. I need that. There's also my insane hormones lately - the ones that get me all worked up because I think dh is breathing too loudly (yes, you read that right), or that I roll over in bed in the morning and realize that dh must have eaten an entire garlic bulb sometime during the night. Not nice, not rational, but that's my life. Also, I'm pretty high-strung - not so much outwardly, but definitely in my head - it takes me a long time to switch gears and stop worrying about everyday things like money, one son's allergies, my running list of things to do and on and on. I think that's why tea seems so much better and more available when we're on vacation away from home and the daily worries (for me anyway!).

Nicole M Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Ah, that is the question! A situation can develop like Needleroozer's when very different people have very different needs, and when, back when tea making was a new activity, years ago, the fires weren't tended properly and only one party knew how to make tea and was threatened by the electric kettle; communication can break down, negotiations stall. Next thing you know, somehow a tea making boycott develops and can last for years. In this case, however, education and communication seem to be the answer. Old habits die hard, though. But really, in all honesty, I thought that there was a sort of design flaw in the pot. The "on" button is way the heck around the corner from the place where the tea bag does its dunking and sheesh! I guess I don't have a very creative partner (is that too PC a term?) because we / I simply did not figure that out without assistance. One of you in my rep box commented that a DH has to be a good multi-tasker and that makes a lot of sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennifersLost Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I'll point out this is my first post in this thread. I had a hint this thread might be coming along, but I had a busy day yesterday and at the end of it I was done in. I started running the bath, came in here to check messages, saw Doran's tag line and said, "what's this???" I sat down and became immediately...um....absorbed. Five minutes later, I see dh run past at top speed. Whoops!!!! the tub! I forgot all about it. It was within an inch of overflowing. Dh was slightly perturbed, but he had a good laugh when he found out what I was reading. And he was pretty happy later on..... Ladies, you rock.

We are able to work on the project together if the need the use the tool arises.

I think just opening the conversation when you're both nice and relaxed, you've had a glass of wine/mike's or three and just say it: "you know, there is something that I really think would heat my water. If you're willing to give it a try, I'm willing to do likewise for you." There are things my husband likes that I'm ambivalent about and vice versa but we do them for each other because we love the cups of tea that result.

I'm thinking some sweetened condensed milk might go well with that tea. :tongue_smilie: Here's a little something that might interest you in the sweetened condensed milk department. I did finally receive a PM with information about this pillow: An alternative to the multi-tasking you mentioned is to alter your positions - a really wonderful tool for that is a little wedge shaped cushion. It is made by the Liberator company - but their website is really p*rnographic (imho). You can find it here without the explicit images. Their cushions are *expensive*, but well worth it. The woman requested that she remain anonymous. Curiously (or not!) I had just discovered this item during some research time a few weeks ago and was intrigued. In your lunch situation, Doran, I think an electric kettle or some other appliance would be entirely appropriate and useful. And if you invest in this wedge, you'll have to come up with a good euphemism to report on its effectiveness, eh? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole M Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Have him eat pineapple (actual, fresh pineapple), it helps...if you're looking for help. *hesitates to add smiley lest I taint the smiley* [Edited! Whoops! It's not even 6am here, so yes, I did miss something. The pineapple helps?!] Did I miss something in the cream-filled discussion? What does the pineapple do? I'm guessing... staying power?

TeacherZee Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Here's a little something that might interest you in the sweetened condensed milk department. I did finally receive a PM with information about this pillow: An alternative to the multi-tasking you mentioned is to alter your positions - a really wonderful tool for that is a little wedge shaped cushion. It is made by the Liberator company - but their website is really p*rnographic (imho). You can find it here without the explicit images. Their cushions are *expensive*, but well worth it.

Nicole M Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I was also intrigued by the posts discussing what to do if your hubby wants to try things that you don't. What if YOU want to try things that your hubby doesn't?? Any ideas on how to broach that subject?? (I'm not talking really raunchy stuff here - just need to know ways to bring it up.) no pun intended Have you read the book, Women's Experience of Sex by Sheila Kitzinger? http://www.amazon.com/Womans-Experience-Sex-Feelings-Sexuality/dp/0140074473/ref=ed_oe_p Apparently it is out of print, but it does have a chapter that deals specifically with this issue, talking with your hubby. You can probably find it at your library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom2legomaniacs Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 So, I decide that I am spending too much time on here and sort of disappear. I wake up this morning and find this thread. OMG! Can you see how red my face is through the screen? Gah, could I be any more repressed? This has me slightly uncomfortable, embarrassed, feeling very inadequate, in total awe, and laughing my behind off all at the same time. Man, that's quite a feat!:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
