Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

ha, Amy!

It's also weird to be looking at college programs while your kid is looking at them, you know?

No, it's a great idea! Srsly

I kind of hate to recommend this book, because the concept of it irritates me so much, but Danica McKellar has a series of books for tween girls that's supposed to explain math in a way that girls can understand.

My daughter has no interest in makeup or boys, but maybe she can squint and pretend they are references to hobbits.

Because books.

Thanks for the encouragement, everybody. I'm going to look into some programs this weekend.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'd go in a different direction too, but I'm not brave enough to pay my dues twice.

Which means I'm oh, SO, fucked.

What's your favourite grilled cheese sandwich recipe? Like, recipe you have, as opposed to having ordered somewhere?

I want to do something different, but I don't know what. That is a bit of a problem.

Yes. Or more, I don't want to choose something only to discover it was the wrong thing, so I have to be absolutely certain.

Everything different that I'd like to do requires going back to school. Which is fine, except for cost and time, and needing to actually make an income *now*.

Yes. I read Julia Child's memoir and was inspired that she was a late starter. Now I only have to find a husband in the foreign service to support my learning to cook in France.

I feel you. I am a bit stuck in my current job situation and have been contemplating becoming an heirloom apple farmer.

Can I be your official pie baker?

Oh, I'd like to look into this program as well!

BTW, Jesse, I think Zappos must have it out for you--I ordered from 6pm.com late last night and they already sent me the "it shipped!" email (...I really don't need $110 Frye bright yellow heeled oxfords. But they're so cute! And just what I'm looking for, in terms of heeled oxfords! And yellow goes with...lots of things!)

Because books.

Do I have to get rid of the current husband to enter that program? I kind of like him.

ita, I don't use a recipe for grilled cheese. It's basically cheese of one kind or another, butter, bread of one kind or another, and a skillet.

I've often thought radiology would be a good career. Pretty standard hours, generally clean environment, important work that can't be outsourced, if you're looking for someone to actually run the machines.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

My actual cooking experience with grilled cheese is similarly basic, but from the consumption end I've found that the addition of pesto sauce and sauteed onions really makes one tastier.

Same here. And I'm a Philistine who uses American cheese. (I like the way it melts, and it tastes like my childhood. If I want fancy grilled cheese I can hit up a food truck.)
