But in our family, the third meal of the day was always the big meal, no matter what we called it.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to say.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Anyone else have the dinner=2nd meal, supper=3rd meal thing?
In Arkansas dinner was kind of interchangeable with lunch or supper, although it tended to refer to the latter more. My family always had the big meal in the evening, but I'm tending to larger lunches (take-out) and smaller suppers (soup, sandwiches) these days.
When I grew up, the evening meal was always the main meal during the week and on weekends, the midday meal was the main one.
I now try to always eat my main meal midday.
I have attempted to do the 5 smaller meal thing and although I felt really good doing it, it is hard to maintain.
For us it was breakfast, lunch and dinner/supper with the last generally being the biggest. Now that I'm on my own, breakfast tends to be the smallest, with lunch and dinner generally being equal. Dinner/Lunch plans obviously sway the meal size in the appropriate direction.
And if you already know everything I said, I apologize for wasting your time. I have a bad memory, and don't remember what you do for a living, so I did not know if you are computer sophisticated or not.
I'm a PC Tech, so I'm already on all that. Thanks, though.
I made the mistake of trusting Ad-Aware (it's been a long day and I've been repeatedly running back and forth to this PC between other tickets) and not manually checking what was starting up in msconfig, though so some of it repopulated because Ad-Aware just plain missed it (I was running the scan in Safe Mode. It was able to remove everything it found, it just missed some stuff.) Argh. I'm giving Microsoft's new anti-spyware software a try right now to see if it can find what Ad-Aware didn't and then will do a manual check once it's done. It's users like whoever this night shift yahoo is that make me wish there was a way to rig the keyboard to deliever an electric shock.

My paternal grandmother referred to it that way. I think it's definitely a Southern thing.
remember that committee meeting that no one came to on Monday? I called it for today again. 2 of the 4 people who were supposed to show did. I have one person who couldn't make it until 6:30, so I am hanging out hoping they show up. I am losing my ability to hide my disgust in people.
That's ridiculous, msbelle. These are supposed to be adults, right?
Hello, peeps!
I should be in the Fine Arts room building a ceramic bust of myself, since it will unfortunately not build itself, but it was raining, and my apartment was closer, so I came here instead. So now I'm chair dancing to the "Shall We Dance?" soundtrack, and reading all the natter I missed.
I had a bean and cheese burrito for lunch, with a side of Centrum with Lycopene. I skipped breakfast. I was good about budgeting time for it for awhile, but I seem to have stopped that more recently. I have never done the dinner/supper thing, except for in my head, while reading Little House on the Prairie books.
yep Katie - they are.
Alibelle! being here is better than building a bust, but playing in ceramic goo does sound fun.
We always had breakfast/lunch/dinner, and dinner was the biggest meal.
Ok suddenly "dinner" is the weirdest looking word int he world to me.
Dinner.
DINNER.
Huh.
