Steph and Theo, I'm so sorry about your cats. They comfort us so much while they're alive that their absense leaves a large hole.
Xander: Just once I'd like to run into a cult of bunny worshippers. Anya: Great. Thank you very much for those nightmares.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, I have a recipe that calls for 1/3 cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips. I want to make half a recipe. Can I just get a Hershey bar and cut it up small? A whole package for 1/6 cup seems ridiculous.

Sure! The main difference is that the bar may be more melty than the chips.

Ooh, good call. Thanks!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The "Special Dark" Hershey bar tastes more like semi-sweet to me. But I think the only place I ever see those is in the mixed bags of mini chocolate bars.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hello, bennett. waves

Shonda Rhimes' writing team on Scandal just ... Oh, I love them.

I was actually thinking about that! Maybe I'll buy a bag and donate them to people who have candy bowls at work...

Meanwhile, while I'm in the weeds in missing a test deadline because ops won't stop blowing up (half my day was triage mtgs, other half was fixing) my boss is texting me at 10:30 at night discussing how we can entice better hires we've made offers to. This is a new world for me, y'all. And no small part of it is the retirement of my ex-CSRA sup next month. F, my branch boss, doesn't have anyone more generalized and senior than me after this. There are coworkers with longer service, but more focused knowledge. I'm REALLY general, fuck, at the info session today, only I could describe how the whole system of cogs worked. Even over dev. It's my JOB to know this. Imposter syndrome can eat this.

Sorry about all the stress, sarameg.
I like Hershey's Special Dark, but yeah, semi-sweet.
The Amazon listings for my book aren't quite right with the paperback and kindle versions not being linked. Bother. I sent off a request to get that fixed so hopefully it'll be all better before long. Also claiming my author identity at Goodreads which I probably should have done sooner.
