  1. Does this stop abruptly after 13 minutes for any other listeners?

  2. @ Bonita

    Worked fine for me? I downloaded through iTunes though… Good luck! :)

  3. @Bonita
    Did you get it to work for you?

  4. It seems to be working fine this morning (I don’t use iTunes, I just play the MP3 button), thank you.
    Btw, I think you deserve a fortitude award for celebrating Mass in an unheated church! I am amazed the congregation comes and stays! People here wouldn’t last 5 minutes, but then again, they think that 48degrees F is “Freeeezing..”!
    Happy New Year!

  5. I must agree w/ Bonita - Fortitude Award goes to Fr. Seraphim! We are definitely spoiled here with climate control, padded pews, etc.

    As to your tea problem - as it’s so cold out and you don’t have a fridge in your office, is there a convenient windowsill or other spot outside with easy access to keep your opened bottle of lemon juice? Another option is to find the little individual serving packets of lemon juice that some restaurants use. Mayhaps some could be found in Austria?

    Have a great day - may you be blessed with lots of warm sunshine! :)

  6. Father, I received some Splenda with Lemon Essence. It is good when I want a change. There is also a raspberry flavor.

    Another nice sweetener is honey. Doesn’t need refrigeration.

    Keep up the good work!

  7. Zina and Kim,
    Thanks for the suggestions. I also heard of something called lemon myrtle which tastes like lemon and is used for tea. Has anyone ever had this?

  8. Cheap, Crystalized Lemon, Lime and Orange. Works great for tea, water, soda and anything else you can think of. We liked it so much, we bought a case and gave a bunch out to tea drinking friends.
