Travelling Teabox?

Nice!

Hee! I thought ‘traveling’ looked wrong, but then I’ve been conditioned towards British English over a few years not. I have an english friend who, when we chatted on MSN, got a little tired of my my english being a glorious mixture of british and american english and me not knowing which difference belonging to which continent, so he started helping me streamline my english a bit and weed out the americanisms. Like ‘gotten’ for example, which I didn’t know was largely an americanism. And with meeting Lexitus (through aforementioned friend, actually), I’m even more turned that way. (I may also have been accused of being an anglophile a time or two which is probably completely wrong). But I still refuse to accept that ‘unpractical’ is not a word. I say that all the time, how can it not be a word???! O.o

So there you have it. The longwinded explanation for how I spell. ;)

In the midwest we say impractical.

They do in the rest of the english speaking world too. Unpractical isn’t a real word. But that’s what I’ve always said and my brain is having a hard time readjusting from un- to im-. Lexitus corrects me when it happens, but lately I’ve caught myself either saying un- in sheer spite or trying to phrase stuff so that I don’t need either word.

YAY safe arrival. :D

Uhoh, that means I’ll be receiving it next week =]

When the next one is being planned. It’s been going for 3 months and we aren’t even halfway done so it’ll be awhile.

The Steepster Overlords have taken over the project. I don’t know what and when they’re going to do anything. I’m just taking this round to the end, but apart from that it’s out of my hands.

that means that it is going to become an official feature as part of steepster instead of community organized and run

The last TTB started in Denmark Marcela:)

Marcela, who is this “we” of whom you speak? ;-) You may have just volunteered to organize the TTBE! But seriously, isn’t that the way it often works — the one who wants it most and can do it, is the one to organize it? You might find someone who is already doing this. Who’s good at googling? Help Marcela out! I guess you’d google “traveling tea europe” or “traveling tea Spain” etc — something like that.

Angrboda organized this TTB, after which the Steepster Overlords have said that they would like to make it a site feature. Perhaps the bells and whistles to do this via the Steepster site (only with less work than Angrboda had to do) are about to be unveiled. Contact Jason or Steepster Support to find out. Angrboda liked that everyone who signed up was active on Steepster. A TTB can become a bit precious to everyone who cares and is responsible, only to hit a snag along the way with someone who is not.

I have organized a local TTB, and I required the full name, home address and phone, and email address of all who participated. Plus a promise that they would NOT leave the box in a hot car this Texas Summer! Organizing a TTB via Steepster Discussion again would work, but check with site management first. Alternatively, there are lots of other sites where you can organize a group for free. Some have more helpful features than others. Best wishes if/when you decide to route a TTB through Europe, and have fun with i!.

As my post just 1 min before Dax Pamela Dean states, she is correct. “You might find someone who is already doing this”, but you not only “may”- you will. And you can sign up here: http://steepster.com/discuss/563-traveling-tea-box-2

ooops sorry cofftea, I’m new here, just logged in today :-)

No need to apologize! Welcome to steepster! Be sure to ask if you have any other questions:)
