We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just discovered -t has never had Cadbury mini-eggs.

I will be fixing this on Thursday, oh yes I will.

So of the commercially available stocks, which are people's favorites?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Aren't we shunning Cadbury? Didn't I read something about that? And Lindt, as well, for, um, non-fair trade, or child labor, or something?

Does anyone else watch Last week tonight with John Oliver? He does a segment called " how is this still a thing", and this week it is about DST.

I'm not? Not sure if I should be, but basically not.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

So of the commercially available stocks, which are people's favorites?

Are you looking to buy some stocks? I go through Sharebuilder. Their trade fees are pretty reasonable, relatively. I've been happy with Amazon, Wendy's, Wal*Mart (spit), and Micron Technology. (Look, I bought Wal*Mart stock a long time ago, before I knew they were evil, okay?) Don't buy Martha Stewart.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I thought we were bemoaning that Cadbury has been unfairly, uh, somethinged by Hershey. I will be sad if I have to shun Lindt, those truffles are delicious. But I will shun if they are evil.

I t heart John Oliver but I can't watch him 'til tomorrow.

Commercial stocks - I usually do Pacific or Imagine, I think. I go for all natural organic free-range etc. for a bunch of reasons, but I have not been disappointed in the taste. Not as good as my simmered for several days stock, of course, but not bad at all. And I prefer the low-sodium, otherwise they are too salty for my taste.

Also, there are still clean beach towels in the linen closet, hooray!

I think Connie means soup stock, in which case I like Swanson's low sodium over most generic brands, although in my own cooking I tend to just use the TJs concentrated chicken broth, which I water down to 2 cu to one package instead of 1:1.

I had no idea what -t was talking about! And apparently, I had no idea what Connie was talking about.

I was just assuming based on the previous conversation about making chicken noodle soup.
