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.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Aren't we shunning Cadbury?
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!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So of the commercially available stocks, which are people's favorites?
I like Pacific Organic. I actually use their French Onion soup as stock a lot. It's vegetarian, but it's got a ton of flavor and works really well with chicken.

Always Anti-fascist!
If I didn't have shows, I'd never know about DST.

Sorry, Zen, chicken stock. I don't have the disposable income for investment stocks, though that's what my 401K is mostly in, to my unease. My company's stock is fairly robust, but that's my retirement, and I like things a little less volatile.
Swanson's is easily available in my "Organic? Isn't that the specialty aisles over by produce?" grocery stores.
