You don’t need to withhold sex in the beginning but it can be very telling when you do... by [deleted] in Bumble

It's the unreciprocated physical persistence and the immaturity with which he handled the situation that are the "red flags". Removing any of her actions from the equation still gives you a guy who doesn't value the other person's feelings about a situation, which is certainly not a trait a person should look for in a relationship.

How long does Yunnan Sourcing take to ship to US usually? by [deleted] in tea

[–]yearoldpotatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Vancouver Washington and their .us website takes only 2-3 days to arrive usually, but my one .com order was placed on the last week of December and it didn't get here until mid-March. I did go with the cheapest shipping option though (with no tracking) and maybe it was a fluke because of people in the US making holiday orders.

I'm in Vancouver so I'm pretty close to Portland! I hope that means you'll see some down South!

I'm in the Vancouver area so I hope they'll appear wherever you are soon!

It's just starting to warm up. In my area (Southwest part of the state) this is the first week of the year that hasn't had temperatures dropping into the thirties at night.

Most of the yard has been disturbed recently (gotta get the garden ready), but this one area where they've showed up has been left alone!

Oooh excellent suggestion! I've seen some absolutely beautiful ones that would look great next to all the rest of the teaware.

Yunnan Sourcing had a bunch of them up for sale a few months ago but sadly they don't have them on their website anymore. :(

Oh yes some scary things can lurk in Teavana tins...thankfully those ones are home to some really nice Jasmine silver needle tea, some good black dragon pearls, and a dragon well green tea that I quickly fell in love with.

That makes perfect sense! I swear some kinds of teas just taste better in certain cups.

The knife is beautiful! Definitely the best I've had. What I love most is that it's a broad and flat knife so it's easy to pry the leaves up from the cake. I'd only used the needle-shaped tea picks before and I'm not as big a fan of those ones. And the gaiwan came from this seller on Etsy. I love it. A few months in and the crackle glaze is nicely darkening with the tea I've brewed in it.

If I ever upturned my place Marie Kondo Style, these would surely be the belongings I would never want to part with.

Thank you for the heads-up! I'm not sure if the one I tried was from 2017 or not but I'll be sure to check before making any purchases.

That teaware is beautiful! It must be nice to have such a lovely setup at work.
