When you are writing condolences, do you ever look at other messages and think, everyone already said everything, what do I say? - loosilu Feb 28, 15:06 7
- Yes. But I try and push through that, even if it means repeating what someone else said. - Beryllium Feb 28, 15:36
- It’s the thought that counts, not the words. -- nm - znufrii, promoted Feb 28, 15:11 3
  - In this specific case it's in French and my brother took my standard phrase. Two of my cousins said other great words. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 15:19 2
    - It's a cousin group chat, about 9. With this small number of people I can't duplicate a phrase. - loosilu Feb 28, 15:23 1

- Jesus. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 28, 14:10 4
  - I mean there is no hiding that. She clearly has never read a number in the millions out loud before. - Jovian Feb 28, 14:16 3
    - most likely neither have her voters, how else can they think the election was stolen despite having 8 million fewer votes -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 28, 15:15 1
      - Easily. They live in a bubble. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 15:16

I'm pretty sure my favorite Easter candy, Brach's Marshmallow Easter Egg Hunt candy, isn't being made this year. - Krusty Feb 28, 13:31 26
- I emailed them about this last night but haven't heard back from them. I'll keep checking stores and being upset when I leave with some other candy - Krusty Feb 28, 14:18 4
  - It's a very specific kind of letdown. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 14:37 3
    - I'm not joking when I say I've been thinking about them for months. I was waiting for the garbage Valentine's Day candy to be switched out so I could - Krusty Feb 28, 14:48 2

      - There are some discount stores like 99 cent stores though they're not common these days. -- nm - Krusty Feb 28, 14:22 2
        
        I don't understand how they paid the rent. -- nm - loosilu Feb 28, 15:15 1
        
        There's one in the 80s on Columbus or Amsterdam. That rent must be so much but they've been there for years. -- nm - Krusty Feb 28, 15:34
    - don't be sad. should call them Bleak Houses -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 28, 14:15 1

    - I think we can get those at Walgreens? -- nm - spamlet Feb 28, 14:27 3
      - I'll check. All I can find here are the Starburst. And they are not as good IMO. -- nm - sycor Feb 28, 14:33 2
        
        I'll keep an eye out for them. I like jelly beans but mostly just the regular ones from Brach's. -- nm* - Krusty Feb 28, 14:49
        
        Oh maybe it’s those. My wife is the jelly bean aficionado. -- nm - spamlet Feb 28, 14:35
