I HIT A KEY AND MY BLOG DISAPPEARED-WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

                      IT WAS ABOUT COFFEE PAJAMAS.  I HAVE NEW RED ONES WITH LEOPARD,CHEETAH, AND ZEBRA COVERED COFFEE CUPS.  INTERSPERSED AMONG THE STEAMING COFFEE CUPS ARE SAYINGS SUCH AS COFFEE BREAK AND COFFEE JUNKIE.  YOU ARE EITHER A COFFEE OR TEA DRINKER.
                       "WOULD YOU LIKE SOME TEA?" WAS THE FAMILY MOTTO PROBABLY BECAUSE MY MOTHER WAS FROM IRELAND.   WATER WOULD BE BOILED, A TEAPOT USED WITH LOOSE TEA LEAVES, AND TEACUPS AND SAUCERS SET OUT.  AFTER DRINKING OUR TEA, WE WOULD PRETEND TO READ OUR FORTUNE.  TEA LEAF READING ENDED WHEN TEA BAGS BECAME POPULAR.  THE TEA RITUAL WITH CREAM AND SUGAR  HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
                          WITH THE ADVENT OF INSTANT COFFEE AND ELECTRIC PERCOLATORS,WE GRADUALLY DRANK MORE AND MORE COFFEE.    THE FIRST TIME I WENT TO IRELAND IN 1970, MY IRISH RELATIVES HAD BOUGHT A JAR OF INSTANT COFFEE FOR US.  NOW WITH IRELAND IN THE EUROPEAN UNION, ESPRESSO AND CAPUCCINO MACHINES ARE EVERYWHERE IN THE OLD SOD.
                               SO WE HAD A TEA PARTY EVERY NIGHT.  WHO KNEW IT WOULD BECOME THE RALLYING CRY OF THE RIGHT WING?  JUST WHEN I TAKE UP COFFEE. THE FLORIDA BUDGET WILL BE UNVEILED AT A TEA PARTY IN EUSTIS THIS MONTH.  OUR NEW REPUBLICAN MILLIONAIRE GOVERNOR WILL USE TEA NOT COFFEE TO DISCUSS FLORIDA'S FINANCES.  HE WILL BLAME STATE WORKERS' SALARIES AND PUBLIC WORKS PROJECTS FOR THE HIGH FLORIDA GOVERNMENT EXPENSES.  THERE WILL BE NOTHING ABOUT WALL STREET BANKERS BANKRUPTING THE STATE WITH CARELESS MORTGAGES.  WHO PAYS THE TAXES ON ALL THOSE FORECLOSED HOUSES?
                              GOVERNOR SCOTT IS RICH.  MOST FLORIDIANS ARE NOT.  THEY FOOLISHLY BELIEVED THEY COULD AFFORD A HOUSE OTHERWISE WHY WOULD A BANK GIVE THEM A LOAN.  NOW THOSE HOMES ARE FINANCIALLY UNDER WATER.  WE NEED STATE HELP AND HEALTHCARE MORE THAN EVER. 
                                 LET THE RICH WHO PROFITED FROM HIGH HEALTH CARE COSTS AND OVERPRICED REAL ESTATE CONTRIBUTE TO THE STATE.  WHY PENALIZE STATE WORKERS?  WHY DECREASE PUBLIC BENEFITS? 

ORIGINAL TEA PARTY HOME

                                 GIVE US A COFFEE BREAK INSTEAD OF A TEA PARTY.  SEND FEMA, OUR HOUSES ARE UNDER WATER FINANCIALLY.  WE DON'T  NEED LESS GOVERNMENT SPENDING.  WE NEED MORE.  TAX THE RICH TO HELP THE POOR(AKA MIDDLE CLASS).
