Trina,

ahh yes!  Tea sweetens so much better when warm!  I'm in Texas and 
we all drink sweet tea, except for the transplanted people.  
Everytime you go to their house, they have unsweetened and it is so 
nasty because it takes me six or seven packages of sugar to get it 
just a little sweet!  That drives me crazy.  Something else I have 
noticed that amuses me is that transplants call Coke "pop."  Here in 
the south, everything is Coke - it doesn't matter if you bring 
Sprite, Pepsi, root beer or actual Coke, we just refer to it all 
as "coke."  Hehe.  When someone is having a party and you ask what 
you can bring, they all say, "coke."  That means bring any sort of 
carbonated drink ;).  The differences as you move about the country 
are interesting.
