(41 posts)I'd recommend green tea. It relaxes me instantly and tastes so good without sugar. Plus, it's really easy to make. Do try it if you feel like

IrishEyes
(3,275 posts)You can enjoy fall, winter and spring before summer comes back. I'm not a big fan of the summer heat. As a very fair person, I turn bright red very fast.

(38,559 posts)in pie, in ice cream, in shortcake.... pretty much all things peach.
2. clean sheets. I love the way they feel, the way they smell and the way I can snuggle into a tightly made bed w/ freshly clean sheets. If I didn't have to do the laundry, I'd have clean sheets on the bed every night.
3. planning menus. What haven't I made or eaten in a while? What do I need to buy to make it? What is in season and/or on sale at the market? How can I make it better? Who can I invite to enjoy it with me?
IrishEyes

(3,275 posts)It was very hi tech at the time. My mother was an executive at a big company and they gave these computers to all the executives. She gave it to me. I like having it. It is a conversation piece when people see it in my home.
Polybius
(15,421 posts)Just last week I bought a Sony Watchman from 1986 for $10. What I want next is an Apple II.
I agree, makes great conversation pieces! When people see my CRT TV in the game room they all say "wow" lol.
