Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay Theo! I know it's not the job you've been hoping for, but pays more than unemployment and close to home sounds like a big yay to me!

Indeed! Especially if you don't hate it while you're there!

Because books.

That's excellent news, Theo! The insurance alone is a huge plus.

I know someone asked before, but is there a difference between a crockpot and a slow cooker?

I'm pretty sure crockpot is actually a brand name, TM.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

It is.

Congrats Theo! And Tom!

I have to see if my mother still has her crockpot, or if it went away in the big purge of moving. I just found a bunch more recipes I want to try.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Amy, this site (A Year of Slow Cooking) has some great recipes: [link] There's a vegetarian lasagna that I've made twice now, and it's excellent.

I also use the crock pot to make chili, for no other real reason than I feel safer walking away from a crock pot for hours, but not from a vat on a stove burner. It's not logical, but then neither am I.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Erin, I e-mailed my librarian teammates to see if they knew of any suitable positions for your sister.

Yeah, there's no way I could walk away from a pot on the stove. No illogical! At least not to me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
