I've been maintaining a grudge against HP, Bank of America, and AT&T for somewhere around 20 years now.

I guess I'd rather stir in my own than get sweet tea that is way too sweet.

I live in TX now, but lived in CA and PA before that. In PA restaurants growing up, all tea was served unsweetened. Sugar and sweetener are on the table. Sweeten to taste. I have never understood the need for the tea to be already sweet when it's served.

Thank you for sharing.

Originally joined FB to keep in touch with friends and family, and then Twitter to connect with others with shared interests. Left Fb years ago and Twitter last year. There have been some meaningful connections, but overall, I'd say social media has been a net negative.

I do not understand all the love for A Christmas Story or Christmas Vacation. I think they're both pretty terrible.
