Tree of Life

Tree of Life and awesome myst'ry,
In your death we are reborn,
Though you die in all of hist'ry,
Still you rise with ev'ry morn,
Still you rise with ev'ry morn.

"Tree of Life" by Marty Haugen

Wish List

Elrond's words to Arwen

If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated, and Aragorn made king and all that you hope for comes true, you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality. Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you. No comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death, an image of the splendor of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt, as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent.
 

Tea

There are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea's asleep and the rivers dream, people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice and somewhere else the tea is getting cold...

Doctor Who

"I could do with a little bit of the fine detail, I think," she said.
"I think I'll get some tea brewed."

~ Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett

Yet gin and ale were not considered to be the only addictive and dangerous liquids. There was also tea.

~London: The Biography by Peter Ackroyd

The Elves seemed to feel that every moment, good or bad, called for a cup of tea.

~The Outstretched Shadow by Lackey and Mallory

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me"

~ C.S. Lewis

Computer: Warning. Power drain increasing. Ten minutes to total life support failure.
Picard: Tea, Earl Grey, hot.

Tea, of course, made the problem seem smaller, as it always does.

~Full Cupboard of Life by Alexander McCall Smith~

Tea was a religion to these monks, a holy charge, and tending tea was a form of meditation.

Cooling tea, according to the Chinese, is perfection. Cold tea, however, is a sin.

~For All the Tea in China by Sarah Rose~

My favorite part of that entire day was wandering into the Dr. Who room party and finding it nearly filled with soldiers quietly drinking tea.

The totality of the code changed. It is not that simple anymore. So I made the changes, but it also changed the layout of my profile. I will send you a pm with my current code and than you can ask questions and I try to explain the parts you ask for. wink

As much as I would like to say, I have, and I could help you. I can not do that this time. After the previous version, I didn't work on any layout again.
But I am willing to try to help you if you would like. I can send my current code, or I can help you create a new one.

Let me hear what you would like best.
Hope that I can be of any help again.

See ya around wink

Your donation to the organization will be used wisely.
In the mean time let me tell you I have always had a soft spot for red haired beauties.
Perhaps later we can find a cozy spot among the stars?

Study the past if
you would divine the future.

Confucius

Strength enough to build a home,
Time enough to hold a child,
Love enough to break a heart

~Child's rhyme, Wintersmith by Pratchett

'Death is as powerful a weapon
as it is an easy escape.
Heroes can pass into legend
Legends into myths,
Myths fuel new heroes.'
~Mouse Guard

Be gentle with yourself.

Crisis or no, nothing must interfere with tea.

then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
