I blame raisins.
I blame craisins. Which are not nearly as yummy as currants. And I say that as a pro-cranberry person.

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

Jesse -- yep, it was actually Flavor-Aid, but everybody thinks it was Kool-Aid anyway and I'm not even sure if F-A is still in business....

I would think the connotations might have forced them to change the brand name, if nothing else.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Mmmmm... Hispanic...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
That reminds me of earlier this year when one of the local supermarkets had put up new signs in the freezer department that read stuff like "breakfast!", "novelties!" and "potatos!" and over in one corner was "hispanics!"
I noticed the next time I went through that last one had gone away....

Currants, like muscat raisins and other baking-centric dried foods, have become a hard-to-find niche item. It's frustrating (currants are easier to find than muscats, which are essentially unfindable unless you have a source to order baking bulks of them) during fruitcake season.

The status is NOT quo.
Cyberstalking is definitely creepy.
I have to laugh at myself, though, because I was catching up and started reading these posts from some new poster "Kristen's Roommate" I was getting annoyed at the way she was acting like she'd been in the community forever. Then I got to the stalking conversation and felt like an idiot.
