I'll take your recommendation. Thank you. I will order their catalog. I'm
an adventureous tea drinker.
I'm still hanging in there without Prilosec - I feel what it must feel like
to be in AA. One day at a time.
I'm sorry that you had such a long time without coffee. It's one of those
joys in life that shouldn't be denied anyone. But most of all, I'm glad you
got better. It must've been hell at times.
