Which is why I keep my illumined Self in a sealed bottle in the fridge behind the sauerkraut.

[LLapp]

oddcouple: This is great - I forget nearly all the comments, including my own, which is one reason I wanted to make this thread. What I do remember is looking up the spelling for "sauerkraut."

But what really strikes me in this one is personal: The date on my comment was just a few days after I had left my job, where I had felt frustrated for a long time. The image of my glowing self stored and hidden away in a sealed bottle was pretty apt for how I was feeling! And to think I was only joking.
