There is a whole world between "perfectly good sustainance" and "visible mold".
But somewhere inbetween there, it's "there's mold growing and you just can't see it YET", and so I throw things away. It's unfortunate.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
She's right you know. There is a whole world between "perfectly good sustainance" and "visible mold".
A world occupied happily by various fast food chains across the nation.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Still haven't heard from Choice A law firm. According to my agency guy this is GOOD news -- they tend to give him a 'no' pretty quickly.
I have a second interview tomorrow at a place that is nice but I don't want as much. All this suspense has me to the point where I get damn near nothing done -- I'm just sorta paralyzed.

Because books.
Just for the record, my father-in-law buys frozen ground beef in tubes. It's very disturbing. I like my styrofoam, thank you.
I'm gonna love this job! It's a stepping stone to what I want to do for the rest of my life.
Yay, vw! That is indeed an auspicious first day on the job.

Sure, but how dangerous are they?
If you aren't getting bacteria (which takes some real doing in the fridge, right?) it's going to taste mold-funny long before its mold-dangerous.
I read something years ago that stuck with me, "spoilage" is largely a cultural norm. People in cities used to think meat was greenish.

Always Anti-fascist!
Yuck. But that doesn't make it less true.

I feel like I am sort of butting in (and much jomba to you, Trudy).
Trudy- Did you do any training to be a legal secretary? And is it silly to do if you already have a bachelor's (in theatre?) and 6 years of regular secretarying?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Me too. Also, food mold is one of the few things that will really gross me out, so if there's something in an opaque container that I've already used at least once and is even a little bit past the sell-by date, I'll take the waste of throwing it out rather than chance opening it and having to see the mold.

True, and life expectancies used to be shorter for people than for goldfish.

Eeeeeuw. Wasn't that why everything was salted back in the days before Frigidaire?
