Despite what other jezras might tell you, there is no wrong way to pronounce the 'j' in jezra. The 'correct' way, is how it would be pronounced in your native language.

Thank you,
jezra

@jezra (an aside, back in the LO days. I met VZ. I called him 'Vee-Zee'. He said, "Its V-Zed"

He is just Vee-Zee to me. :P)

@NYbill hahaha that's awesome. There are certainly some people that I automatically think of as a zed with and not zee.

NYbill

@jezra Ha, I was told some thought my nick was Nigh-bill and some "Nibble".

I'm looking in your direction on the latter, @theru

@NYbill @jezra aaa Wasn't me with Nibble :) I think that was fab's girlfriend there probably is an old episode of LO with it

@theru @jezra ah, I just remember you told @MrsNYbill that at that pub and both had a laugh.

@NYbill @jezra I probably should drink coffee before I reply to stuff in the morning :)

@theru @NYbill @jezra I find that "Nibble" is a nice name.

@jezra @theru you guys have never seen me with a coffee. But, this counts for 'sipping', right?

@NYbill @theru yes it do.

For what it is worth, camelia sinensis (the tea plant) can be grown indoors, or outside in some growing zones. It is a white flowering camelia... and there are 2 on my deck :D

@jezra @theru Nice! I never tried to grow tea!

In my 20's early 30's I drank a LOT of coffee! But, started getting acid reflux when I slept. Not fun! (basically choking).

Went through my diet with the doc and it was the coffee that was doing it. (Its very acidic). Its not for me.

(Was crossing my fingers it wasn't my beers!) ;)

@NYbill For the past few years, for similar reasons, I've been conditioning myself to switch to tea by drinking weaker and weaker coffee.

Now I have the excellent gardening challenge of propagating camelias. /me wants to grow a years worth of tea per year. Brewing a years worth of beer is still a challenge :)

@jezra you know what this is buddy, right? WE ARE OLD NOW! ;p

@NYbill don't I know it. I thought electronics had shrank, it was just my eyesight failing. hahaha it's as good an excuse as any to invest in magnification tools. :)

@jezra Looks like I can by a pound of Jezra's Camellia in the future!

(I buy my current fave 16oz at a time. 4 heaping spoonfuls in ~4 cups water. A little whole milk and 2 tsp sugar. That is in my work thermos.)

This is key! The tea is ready when I wake up. :D

@NYbill buy? I'll be gluing seeds to a postcard.

I guess I better figure out how to brew tea in my coffee maker. Shit, it would be the exact same way as using the coffee maker as a ramen maker.
