Help!  
It concerns tea.

My local food co-op sold a Scottish Breakfast blend from Taylor's of Harrogate, but they've decided to no longer sell it. (I think. I couldn't find it on the shelves or any label for it there, but found a few boxes in the discount area so yeah.)

Now I can order it from them specifically, but the shipping is a killer.

So does anyone in the states know if there's a reliable, grocery type of website I can order this tea from? Or if you have a store near you that sells this tea and the shipping turns out cheaper than the website, would you be willing to send me a package of it if I give you the money? (Not now; money is tight now, but this is excellent future reference!)

Thanks to anyone who can help.

(Ugh, the things I do for tea. But this is a really good blend, perfect for a slow morning or a lovely brunch.)

What were you doing?  
I just went back through my journal and looked at my old entries from around this date in May from the past few years...

In May 2007 I had just created my LJ and I was freaking out about coming out.

In May 2008 I was squeeing about a death!fic discussion in [info]qaf_coffeeclub.

In May 2009 I was depressing myself by reading Judy Shepard's book The Meaning of Matthew and some sort of DC disaster preparedness booklet that included a section about what to do in case of a nuclear explosion.

In May 2010 I was not posting much of anything.

In May 2011 I was using my journal to keep track of my ridiculously long to-do lists because I enjoyed striking tasks through when I had completed them.

In May 2012 I was still making ridiculously long to-do lists. And I was squeeing about other TV shows.

And in May 2013 I've mostly been posting about QAF again :)

If you look at the archive of my journal it probably looks empty in May (and every other month) of every year except this one because a few years ago I went through a weird paranoid phase and did a massive lockdown on my journal and made all of my entires private (except for my fic postings). Now most things I post are either f-locked or completely open, but I am more careful about what I post. In case anyone noticed.

Season 5  
I've been continuing my little marathon of QAF on my days off. Making my way through season 5 now. The bombing episode and the one after (510 and 511) are really, really good TV. I forgot what a high-quality show this was. I also entirely forgot about Mel and Lindsay moving to Canada *lol* Watching the bombing episode reminded me of how many fics I read that surrounded this particular event. Reading fics definitely enriched my experience of QAF.
