That reminds me of a question I wanted to ask.
Does date sugar dissolve in tea? I was looking at it more closely online, and all of the varieties, even the "powdered sugar" variety, are single ingredient, dates dried and ground up.

I can't help it. I could hear this song every day, and this version asks the question "what would Django do?"
Yup that's what they are just dried dates ground up, Don't know if they would dissolve, prolly not but if you fill your own bags you could add it and it will steep in
OK, not a game post, but I have to share this after finding it. Especially since we have at least one Peanuts lover in the thread. Happy New Year to everyone, and thanks you all for being such wonderful, caring and loving people. 
Oh man, ya got me started now.
When I made up my next batch of coffee bags I put in cacao nibs and broken up cinnamon sticks. Those are pretty generous size tea bags I bought 2000 of, so I'm going to town with the experiments. It's just wonderful.
I don't drink cream or sugar in my coffee or tea. I was wondering about the dissolvability for when I tell others about it.

I buy bulk tea and herbs at IHERB pretty fair prices too
Per Wikipedia
It is made from dried dates and adds a rich sweetness to recipes, although it will not dissolve when added to drinks. It also does not melt like granulated sugar which can limit its use.

You can count me as another Peanuts lover. That whole Peanuts gang was so well done. Charlie Brown was always a little depressed, but kind and respectful toward everyone, including mean Lucy. Peppermint Patti was sort of an early dyke. Snoopy was a sweet loyal dog, so I may never understand how he got to be the bloody red baron. Woodstock was like a thought flittering about. Schroeder was a baby music genius. One of them, Linus (?) had the blanket he dragged around; or was that Pigpen? Anyway, it was beautiful, peaceful, sweet.
Thanks. Well there's always date syrup, which to read about from the clean eating foodies, is to swoon for.

What idiot artist would have a topic channel that does not allow sharing of his music, which might result in the sales of the music and the ingathering of new fans?

I'm personally in the raw honey camp, but I think the date products have a lower glycemic index. I figure honey has some limited health benefits and avoids the refined sugar issues, but don't know how it stacks up against some of the other unrefined natural sweeteners from a caloric standpoint. Of course I don't drink anything in my coffee, and ever since I discovered herbal teas, nothing in hot tea either, but honey is what I use to sweeten iced tea and oatmeal.

I don't worry about it much for myself either. I still have about 3 lbs. left of the 5 lb. organic raw cane sugar I bought in 2015, and half the bottle of organic Texas honey I bought at around that same time, but foodies talk about stuff, and enjoy Jimi's up to date knowledge.
Have a good night Goph, hope to catch you tomorrow my friend
Does anybody want to talk about new year resolutions? I hardly ever make them, because I know that by January 3 I'll be back to driving fast and cussing, so what's the point...
I do pretty good anymore with my resolutions they usually last a whole week
“New Year’s Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.”

Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever.
― Mark Twain
I'm resolving to procrastinate less, be kinder, drink less, eat healthier. To accomplish the first, I will begin breaking all of my other Resolutions at precisely 12:01am.

Have to let you all know something else, lol.
But, this is way more serious of what almost happened to my brother. I don't think mom would've been able to go on IF this would thave turned out differently. Pretty sure like his guarding angel was watching over him. The new year would have horrible.
He was driving to work on the highway, it was in a certain part of the highway that closes in a bit , if he would've done this right before this point he would have died. All he he did was take a drink of water, it went down wrong and he didn't spit it out, he swallowed and the next thing he knew his eyes went dark, he couldn't see and passed out. Thankfully, there wasn't any vehicles on his side of road that was around him, but on the other side there was. There was vehicles behind him, however not close enough. The only thing that saved him from a fatal crash. There is a big bump before that spot that closes in and he ran over it and for some reason that's what 'woke' him up.
He stopped to get himself together and all the vehicles that were behind caught up saw what happened and none stopped to see if he was alright.
Wanted to let you know this just incase. He says he will not do rhe something again. And, yup, now I'm not going to either. Yeah, it's weird ! Never heard of this happening to anyone. So, I'm really thankful grateful that I still have my brother. Also, he didn't tell mom, but he did tell his son and his son gave him the biggest hug he has ever given his dad.

I didn't put my good thing for yesterday on yet, did todays.
Yesterday went to this store called UFS (unclaimed freight store) they had just gotten a load of MUC LUC slippers and sox in so found a nice pair of slippers for Jean and they even had a pair for deformed giant feet
and found a super insulated sox for Jean, they are actually almost an inch thick material and the warmest sox she said she has ever had.

I fixed it.
Wow, that had to be an incredibly scary experience for him. I am so glad it turned out the way it did for his sake as well as for your sake.
Thank you, Kad. It is hitting me harder now than when he told me. Have tears in my eyes, so if there is misspelling this is why, lol. Just so weird!
OMG I am glad he's alright. If he smokes tell him to quit, if he doesn't tell him to do breathin exercises, tell him that anyway. Sounds like low blood oxygen content, I have experienced that before.
But I didn't get to listen to your other song yet.
Sorry, I'm in a strange mood tonight, forgive my weirdness. Nope, never mind, don't forgive it, I'm having fun, so I won't apologize.
For me, this is a sign to be very careful of road closures, when combined with something else I heard today. I was listening to a podcast, in which the true story was told of a black man who almost drove off a broken bridge because the road work barrier had been removed or broken or something. He screeched to a halt and saved himself. He left his car where it was as a partial barrier, got out and started waving to oncoming cars to warn them. Because he was black and it was dusk, people assumed he wanted to carjack or otherwise harm them, so it wasn't until some cars drove off into the river bed, the passengers killed, that the incident ended.
Thank you, Jimi. He quit smoking two maybe three years ago, he is Vaping
. I'll tell him and find some of the articles you have posted.
From the way Wolfie tells it, he drowned himself with the drink of water going down wrong, but not coughing it out. Terrible to think of.
I think, you're right Bliss. It definitely freaked him out big time. Lol, now it's my time to freak out a little
