The tea which is most bought in my house is a 50-50 mix of plantains (sci: Plantago) and thyme. We usually don't buy those teas from the store (packed in those boxes), but instead we go to a "healthy food shop" (however you call 'em), you know, one of those where they sell all kinds of oils and diet food...stuff (I tried explaining).
Anyway, my personal favourite is the mint tea.

New album is great!

One week to my concert after that one week to my graduation on my course I slept with like baby with my cpap machine it was good 

Firstly, happy International Woman's Day to all metal ladies on this forum
And secondly...I've finally been to the Sabaton + Accept concert I was waiting 7 and a half months to! It was an amazing day (despite being a rainy Monday).
Firstly, my friend forgot his concert ticket (!!!), but luckily my dad was free so he went to his house, got the ticket and brought it to the city where the concert was (distance: ~40km)...(we travelled by train and my dad drove there by car). Because of this delay we missed the opening act, Twilight Force, which only played for half an hour. Accept came next and they rocked the whole arena! The feeling of seeing these legends live, in flesh and blood, I could describe, but it would take a lot of text on this post
Anyway, they played classics like Restless and Wild, Metal Heart and Balls to the Wall, as well as some of the newer stuff and the atmosphere was amazing! (got into a few moshpits during their performance)
Then, when Sabaton started to play the whole arena just exploded! When the first song, Ghost Division, started I spent most of the time just trying not to trip or fall because the crowd was moving in every direction...like boiling water basically. Almost every song was greeted equally by the audience, with a lot of noise, but at specially the song Last Dying Breath which was dedicated to the defenders of Belgrade in WWI. Although this song means a lot to us, still I think that the best one was the acoustic version of The Final Solution. The acoustic version is a f##king tearjerker..much better than the original, IMO.
When the concert ended, my friend and I walked 4.2km to Kalemegdan - a park and a medieval fortress. Despite visiting it a lot of times, in all weather conditions, I've never been there at night. It looks absolutely wonderful!...and eerie in some places
I was so glad we made that visit because parks closer to the river bank look amazing when looked upon from the fortress. All those lights shining, making a perfect contrast, like fireflies in the night.
(and here's a little picture I thought you'd appreciate..I call it "A Path to Darkness")
After this visit, we walked 4.2km back to the train station to catch the morning train. (note: we aren't familiar with bus lines in this town so we decided to walk, and there was a closer train station but the first train departed in 7am, while the one we caught was at 4).
Overall it was a great experience. A lot of memories to look back to one day. And I really hope this isn't the last time I see Accept live.

Figured I'd respond to these in one go. Parker - glad it was helpful, definitely not trying to condescend, sorry if I'm covering things you already understand. There's nothing inherently "different" or special about the sharps/flats; they're just what people call the notes that are in between the other notes. The relationship of those note names to the guitar or bass fretboard is somewhat arbitrary. Going up the fretboard, each fret is a "half step" above the one before it; a movement of two frets is called a "whole step". The distance between B and C, and the distance between E and F, is a half step - they're right next to each other. All of the other notes going up the scale (A to B, C to D, D to E, F to G, and G back to A) are separated by whole steps - they have another note in between them, the sharp and/or flat. So if we start on the lowest string of your bass (assuming it's tuned to standard), the open note is E; one fret up is F; the second fret is F# (or Gb); third fret is G (a minor third above E); fourth fret is G# (a major third above E); fifth fret is A, which is a "perfect fourth" above E, and is also the same note as the next open string, the A string. Repeating that process on the A string, we have A (open), A# (first fret), B (second fret), C (third fret), C# (fourth fret), and D (fifth fret, which is the same note as the next open string up).
Relentless is right about only dropping the lowest (thickest) string for a "drop tuning"; it goes a whole step down (he's wrong to be calling it the "top" string, though; it's always called the "bottom" string, because it plays the lowest notes, nothing to do with its physical location on the instrument). A four-string bass in standard tuning is EADG, from low to high, so putting that bass in "drop D" tuning means it would be DADG. To elaborate more, if you tuned all of the strings down a whole step, it would be called "D standard": DGCF. From there, if you dropped the bottom string another whole step, it would be called "drop C"; it would have the same fingering patterns as a bass in drop D. And tuning all of the other strings down another whole step would give you "C standard", and so on and so forth.
I'm pretty sure that what Relentless means by "muddier waters" is that this terminology is still used informally by people referring to other variations of "drop tuning", and some people also (incorrectly) use it to refer to tuning down the whole instrument, so it can be difficult to know exactly what tuning someone is talking about without more specifics.
Duke - since you have a 5-string, that means it has an extra lower string - BEADG - so yeah, if your guitarists were playing in standard tuning and then tuned their low strings down to drop D, you could still accommodate that. You'll be able to play down to an octave below a standard baritone guitar, which is tuned to B standard, a fourth below E standard: BEADF#B. Alternately, you could always get slightly thinner strings and tune everything up, so that your lowest string is an octave below the guitars, and then you'd have an extra high string instead. That's how I have mine set up at the moment and I personally enjoy it. Either stand should be fine.

There are centuries of history behind modern music tuning and notation, but basically there are seven letters because there are seven notes (or "degrees", seven steps, that is) in nearly every scale in Western music. They correspond to the lines and spaces on a staff. It didn't start off as a twelve-tone scale. You're looking at modern ideas of "absolute pitch" and "appropriate, exact distances between each note" (which we call "equal temperament"), grafted onto a much older but still relevant system of thinking about and writing music based on those seven degrees. It requires some memorization.
The natural notes are the white keys on the piano; the sharps and flats are the black keys. Sharp means you shift up one piano key, flat means you shift down.
Take an A minor scale - all and only the white keys on the piano, ABCDEFG, and then back to the octave. A is called the "tonic" of this scale; think of it as number 1. To play an A major, you shift the 3rd, 6th, and 7th notes each up one key (which is a "half step"), and write a # sign next to them. A B C# D E F# G# ...Still the same letters; still representing the same degrees of the scale; still in the same ascending order on the staff. Still the same "tonic" note, just a different set of notes above that forming different relationships and giving the key a different feel. From A (number one) to C (number three) is an interval called a "minor third". From A to C# (still number three!) is a "major third". This is what defines the difference between most of we'd call "major" or "minor" chords on the guitar.
Now say you want to play in the key of A flat major (Ab major). You start off on the black piano key right below A, and you play the notes A flat, B flat, C, D flat, E flat, F, and G. You still have all of the degrees, and you still have a place on the staff to write each of them, and the flat notes get a little "b" symbol next to them. Now I'll draw your attention to something Relentless tried to explain. That D flat is a black piano key; in fact it's the same one you called "C sharp" when you were playing in A major. (In fact, the "tonic" note that we're calling A flat is played on the same key we were using for G sharp before.) C# and Db are indeed the same note, as are G# and Ab. They're what's called "enharmonic".
What gives? It's a matter of what degree of the scale you're trying to represent. In A major, the C# is the third degree, and in an A chord it functions as a major 3rd. In A flat, though, it's C natural that functions as your major 3rd, and the next note up is your 4th - and so you'd use the fourth letter, D (flat). So far, if we were to look at this on a staff, you'd have a note on each line and space in ascending order, and the only thing that would change about the writing would be the symbols next to them. 
If you wanted to give each note its own letter, you'd have to write the A minor scale as ACDFHIK; A major would be ACEFHJL. A flat major would be LBDEGIK. Aside from the mnemonic advantage to a player of thinking about different scales as small variations of the same pattern, you'd give up the information about what degree of a scale a particular note is, and you'd have to come up with a different system of notation that has nothing to do with centuries worth of music or decades worth of training that other musicians have. You could certainly do that for your own writing if it made sense to you, but you'd have a hard time communicating it to other people that way. 

Yesterday, I went with my bassist friend to another town to buy that bass guitar I was talking about (Ibanez GSR 205, 5-stringer). Feels good man. Can't get it out of my hands xD
(can't share any pics because my phone camera is sh#tty)
The dude that sold me the bass had like 20 guitars hanged on the wall. Not sure if he's a collector or is re-selling xD
(although from what he spoke it sounded like he's a collector...)
Anyway, my friend and I tried the Hammer I originally wanted, but I quickly abandoned the though of buying it when he brought the Ibanez. Its sound was so much better than Hammer's. Even better thing is that the Ibanez is passive (although it said on the site it's an active one...his mistake in writing) and because of this he dropped the price down by 20 euros (payed 160 instead of 180 which was the price he put on the site).
Both my friend and I agreed that's it's a pretty good guitar; the only thing now I have to do is adjust the strings, because they're too close to the fret wires (if that's their name). Of course I wont do this by my own.
Now I've created a list of what I have to buy next: cable, strap, tuner, amp. The first 3 things aren't expensive, but I don't want to gamble with the amp and buy a used one. Instead I'm gonna save as much money needed and buy a new one.
Hope you peeps are doing OK
PS: I really didn't want to make this post a wall of text, but I always end up doing it 

Awesome news. Glad you like the bass, and that you got to try the other one, just to feel the difference.
I know I said this before, but I'd recommend a small practice amp to start, even a guitar amp will be fine. Just something to play through and learn. You should be able to pick one up for cheap. The good thing about that is, it won't put you out a ton of money, and you can always use it at home even if you wind up buying a larger amp and playing with other musicians.
Passive pickups are basically just electromagnets. Active pickups need batteries. They usually have higher output than passives, so an active/passive switch generally cuts the gain going into the amp to compensate for that.
