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'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

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

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
TJs has currants in stock right now, or at least my TJs does.
I was spanked a few times as a kid, but not often enough to make an impression on me. I remember thinking that spanking was a bad way to punish someone because it was almost always delayed (Dad spanked us, Mom didn't), and that if Dad really meant it when he said it hurt him more than it hurt me he wouldn't do it. Being sent to one's room was a more typical punishment in our house. I don't think I was ever grounded, but I was a goody two-shoes.
My MiL is always suggesting that we should spank the kids and saying things like "my dad would have beaten me for doing something like that." I remind her that she has pretty dismal impression of him as a father. But I'm pretty sure she thinks our whole philosophy--1) stop the behavior, 2) talk about choices and consequences--is for the birds and one day we'll realize we've made a huge mistake. And I can admit they aren't perfectly behaved children, but they're good in the ways that count.
