I know somebody who regularly did -- he nicknamed it "White Death" because of the pound of sugar involved.
Yeah, not the greatest of jobs, but it does have health insurance and so on.
Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

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.

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.

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.
