Ever wonder why it is so hard to win Solitaire?So I just don't have the energy to do my Alphabe-Thurdsay post ... but because i am aiming for a perfect attendance award here goes ...
Sometimes the game glitches ....T is for talk ... which i love to do ... but more than talk, i love to listen ... and listen actively ... you know, the kind of listening that requires one to focus on only the speaker ... not the surrounding buildings, shoes in the window, blossoms on the tree (tree is a t word)
T is also for tea ... which i love ... but i am a total snob when it comes to tea ... My tea of choice is a blend that an the old tea company Murchie's Tea & Coffee used to blend. This tea was never made for sale in their fine establishments ... it was a house tea ... and named for the Kentish-Rankin household (several generations ago.) When we would go to order it, Murchies would pull out a very old and worn recipe card and they would then blend the tea by the pound for us. When my parents left town, they were able to get a copy of the recipe... So we all still have it blended for us today ...
and when it does glitch, it refuses to let you win ... thank gawd for freecell ... (sick humour)
T is also for tired ... which I am ... and I think that's all i can manage for today. I apologize for not responding to comments ... and I might not get to leaving many comments this round ... my Temperature is a little high and I'm just not up to it.
This post has been brought to you by the letter T and Jenny Matlock’s incredibly fabulous Alphabe-Thursday meme … go visit her blog links to some interesting and amusing T posts!

excellent job of the letter T :D
hope you feel better soon :D
awww... well, at least the weather is crappy too, so you aren't missing being outside.
Get well soon dear Friend!
Feel better soon. Have some tea.
I love to hate solitaire for hours! My relationship with tea is not so deep, black and plain!
My husband loves to play computer solitaire!
Sorry you are sick. I had a 24 hour stomach bug last week when I was in Colorado visiting my son and his family, and I thought I would die as I felt so bad, so I can really sympathize with you at how bad you must feel right now. The only thing that makes me feel better is lots of sleep and rest -- hope you can do both!
Feel better soon!
Get better soon my friend..I am fighting the bug off...hopefully
So sorry to hear that you are sick. But it certainly hasn't affected your sense of humor! Get lots of rest and I hope that everyone is well soon. Kathy
I giggled. Thanks!
I hope U all feel better in time for YOU next week.....or something like that!

If you have not already joined my Tea Party I urge you to do it now. I think some Twinnings Afternoon tea could help ease your symptoms as well as mint tea. They are both delicious. Love your blog.

I hope you do start to feel better soon. Take the time to rest and let your bod replenish.
So sorry to hear your under the weather!
Sending a little germ-free hug your way!
Thanks for taking time to participate even though you aren't feeling terrific!

Feel better soon. Nothing a little tea and a few hands of solitaire can't fix, right?
I'm tired too, but it's summer and I'm running kids everywhere in the 100 degree AZ heat.
Thanks for your comment today. There needs to be a few of us left teaching responsibility to these kids!
Bugs are horrid! Hope you feel better soon. Thanks so much for visiting my post even though you feel so grot. Much appreciated.
Sorry, your not feeling well. I hope your temperature gets better soon but you did a great job with your T post.
AW! hope you get over being sick...real soon!!!
I read your title and saw the solitaire...and for a split second thought *oh...is it "Alphabe-Thursday S" time?* haha... you got me going!
Blessings & Aloha!
You are definitely a committed student and deserve that perfect attendance award! I hope to get my assignment post up!
T is for...take care and get well soon. T is for Thanks....for stopping by my blog. T is for...ta-ta-for now.
Dear Jo,
I hope you are feeling better soon. Clever trick to write an S-word. Silly! You do have great T-words! I love tea too!
Frankly, I could have also chosen "tired" as a T-word! I could just write "Amen" to your whole post! Sometimes life is impractical and difficult!
My very best wishes to you,
Anna

Get well soon! ((hugs)) I'd love to try your special tea one afternoon too ;)
Get better soon..Have some tea, and play solitaire, relax and beat it :-)
Sorry you have been sick! You had such good T ideas! I love tea as well and I am kinda a tea snob as well. It is so soothing.
Hope you feel better soon...nice post...I understand 'tired' completely...peace and blessings
Awww That was more than I expected from someone who is sick . I hope you are feeling better by now and thanks for visiting and leaving your comments . I appreciate it :)
Take care
PS: I did visit you yesterday but I just didn't know what to say :( sorry . I do that a lot .
I can't believe you posted something so fun when you were feeling so awful. I hope all of you are better now.
My grandmother considered herself a tea snob. It had to be black tea or nothing. I used to buy expensive black tea when she visited. When we started having to care for her, I was a little freaked out wondering how I was going to find her tea. Turns out all it was Lipton black. Gah!
You have to get the gold star for posting above and beyond the call of duty. I hope you feel better soon!
Drink some tea and rest. Hope you feel better soon!
well you managed not to get an F for a no show! I think you deserve an A for sure....
There is nothing worse than being sick and achy and all the rest...I hope you get better and that you are your fiesty self soon!!!!
Get better quick, Jo! I love the new blog look. Very pretty!
HI THERE! Oops... sorry about yelling... hope you are feeling better... can't wait till you are on 'U'!! Love your blog and all the things you've posted!
Jo, I'm behind in my visits. Busy schedule and away from my computer, but I'm having a terrific time this evening scrolling through your recent posts that I missed. :-)
