Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Does anyone know how people find out the FICA score without paying for it

Do you have any credit cards? Capital One has a link where you can check your credit score.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I forced Dan to get a teeny credit balance Cap One card just a month ago! (Damn good thing, too, else we'd be starving right now.)

I'll ask him! (and I need to get a copy of the card for myself, too, dammit.)

Thanks, Connie!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I prefer DST for all the named reasons.

Given those foodie-depressing parameters, what should I do to get chicken soup that tastes of more than salty water with meat, noodles, and veggies?

I always start my stocks/soups/sauces by sauteeing onion in butter and olive oil. Easiest way to add depth of flavor. Classically you can go with a mirepoix which is onion, carrot and celery.

I add garlic later in the cooking (despite it being a strong flavor it is kind of delicate and dissipates quickly). I also add (depending on the soup) things like: Worcestershire sauce, sherry, wine, fish sauce (works surprisingly well even in Western dishes).

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!
