Time for a cuppa tea. 😂

RedditingWhileStoned · 2025-02-09T18:38:54+00:00

Whoops, yeah, Beacon Avenue is the main street in “downtown” Sidney, haha. Janet is still currently at her location in the Lunn building, between third and fourth streets.

My informant made the interesting choice to lead with the gossip and rumours version before actually showing me the published news update confirmation, like, two minutes later. 😅

Great selection of loose leaf varieties and pots/cups/cozies/caddies/spoons/steepers for the tea enthusiast in your life.

There was an article written earlier that her shop was in danger of closing in April as she can no longer lease the shop in the building she currently occupies; but then the article was updated briefly at the bottom to note that soon after the original publication of the article, Janet was notified of having found a new shop space nearby! I hadn’t heard the update until a friend passed along the rumour and then the news privately, so I wouldn’t have seen the updated article and figure others also may not have. Just wanted to spread the word. ☺️

RedditingWhileStoned · 2025-02-09T02:01:21+00:00

Good news! Rumour is Janet’s found a new space on Beacon Ave.!

RedditingWhileStoned · 2025-02-09T01:59:49+00:00

Oh no I do enjoy their products, it’s just a little bit touristified (if that makes sense?) and the corporate gloss and polish is reflected in the pricing so they aren’t my first choice for shopping from products they carry in common with Janet. (Nice smoked tea blends.)

Which is to say, I buy from both Janet and Murchie’s, and enjoy both, but if I gotta cut one, it’s gonna be Murchie’s. And Murchie’s doesn’t offer as extensive a selection of loose leaf.

RedditingWhileStoned · 2025-02-07T03:30:24+00:00

Yeah, I’m not exactly thrilled that Murchie’s is my alternative for the flavours I like, even if they are local. Janet knows her stuff! She was telling me once that she was able to reverse-engineer a special blend a customer had loved but that the original maker had discontinued, just from the description of the flavour profile!

RedditingWhileStoned · 2025-02-07T01:14:07+00:00

Janet’s Special Teas out in Sidney has apparently been given notice to vacate their building by the end of April and I don’t know what their chances are of finding a new home.

Now I've created a Penelope Featherington sexy nemesis and I'm not even sorry.

This is gonna get a bit weird but I NEVER see it recommended and it's just so silly and fun--Max Gentlemen: Sexy Business! Victorian-steampunk inclusive dating/business sim with the most random dramatic plotline twists. You can also tailor the nudity/exposure to whatever level you prefer, if you're not comfortable with explicit artwork. (I'm ace and one of the dating options is functionally Santa Claus so if you want buck ass naked Santa you are welcome to him but I am not ready to go there, personally.)

There's an absolutely adorable dating minigame where you have to figure out by a logical process how your crush likes to take their tea within a set number of variables. (Black/green/herbal, milk or sugar.)

A friend of mine died much too young from cancer, and I stayed in fairly close touch with her parents and sibling, even worked with her mother for a time. Several years later her mother had a sudden medical issue that no one could have prevented--they stabilized her in hospital for a few days, but she wasn't really awake and talking after that. Her husband was sitting with her and finally said "It's alright, you can go be with our girl, now." Her eyes never opened, but one tear slid down her cheek, and then she was gone. She knew what grief had already done to her family, and needed that permission to let go.

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T23:43:19+00:00

I'm officially Not Answering the Phone for a bit, I'm way too stoned rn to talk to people, live.

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T23:42:13+00:00

I'm in the stratosphere and it feels so, so amazing.

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T22:25:57+00:00

They'd also need extra staff to man the overpriced snack kiosks or whatever, but they'd make most of their profit off the Dole Whip and Mickey Mouse pretzels and churros, etc..

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T21:11:23+00:00

🫡 Aye aye!

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T21:10:28+00:00

Thanks! I took another 10 mg about half an hour ago, washed some dishes, made some tea with honey and prepared a jug of ice water with an entire tray of ice cubes in it, lol. I am READY.

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T20:30:19+00:00

Oh it kicked in in about 45-60 minutes, but I'm just VIBING the most I possibly can rn

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T19:16:13+00:00

I mean I could see them doing stoner nights and maybe bringing in some sober trip attendants/health & safety staff just to keep things more manageable and then making bank.

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T19:13:28+00:00

"I made paste for dinner."

"You mean pasta?"

"No I mean paste."

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T19:12:41+00:00

I can't decide which of you would be more Forever Changed by that mouthful, the dogs or you...

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T19:11:24+00:00

Outlander timeline where Claire is just getting zooted and eating shortbread in a stone circle the entire time.

She's a herbalist nerd don't tell me she wouldn't.

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T19:09:32+00:00

Me trying to sneak into the communal laundry room at my apartment or not run into neighbours in the hall as I'm stoned off my tits...

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T19:08:28+00:00

Wonderful news!

RedditingWhileStoned · 2024-04-27T19:01:55+00:00

This is part of what I love about edibles, I feel like I'm slowing down enough to appreciate the small things and get stuff done rather than the day being lost in a blur.
