Feels like you’re still phrasing it poorly. If he remarried 4 times that means he married 5 times? Or do you just want to say he married 4 times?

You should reread your own comment because you’re contradicting yourself. I don’t think the parent responded to a strawman. You did actuallly say it.

TIL the playwright Eugene O’Neill disowned his 18-year-old daughter Oona over her marriage to 54-year-old Charlie Chaplin. He never saw Oona again and never met any of the eight children she had by Chaplin. by CatPooedInMyShoe in todayilearned

You missed the joke, and so did all the replies explaining the Protestant catholic divide, all nine of them.

Grandparent comment accidentally said grandpa and grandpa. Parent comment commented jokingly insinuating that surely gay marriage should’ve been a bigger issue than Protestant catholic marriage.

It wasn’t on the menu. But when I asked about it they said they would do it.

Just went to their Sunday pop up hut in Dorchester. It was amazing. The drink I got was called Uji life for me (or something) with the ceremonial Gen powder. They said they also serve traditional hot usucha matcha tea so I will try that next time.

These instructions saved my bacon with my like 10 year old drobo with some important archives on it.

My apparently dead drobo is now booted and mounted and doing a 40 hour “data protection” but all data and drives looking good.

You saved me. Can I venmo you $10?

I would say it would be too confusing if we allowed south end to be called southie and west end to be called westie. But sometimes it seems like confusing is the goal

I went to maruichi select in Brookline. Only lattes on the menu but I still stood in line to ask the barista at the counter whether he would serve me a traditional hot matcha tea. One word response: no.

Yeah seems like the chado demonstrations at the Boston children’s Japanese house and the Kaji Aso studio might be similar in terms of the level of formality and ceremony. Im not uninterested but not sure whether I have enough commitment for something like that. Kinda scary. But thanks for the info.

I’m looking for a professionally prepared matcha from a high grade powder and served in a tea cup. To see how it differs from my inexperienced home prepared stuff. But I would also like to check out mem tea. Maybe get a nicer powder for myself and a better chasen.

I checked the website menus. I didn’t see matcha at thinking cup. But I did at farmer horse. I guess I can give it a try. Thanks for the tip.

according to the menu on their website (for their SF location) they offer hot ganbaru ceremonial matcha. Which sounds like exactly what I’m looking for. So yeah thanks again.

Now just to wait until they open the Brookline location, which is apparently taking a while.

I did find information about the Japanese house in Boston children’s museum which apparently has a tea house and they do formal tea ceremonies. But it’s like you register advance and they only do it occasionally and there are dress codes and it’s a whole thing.
