I like American on rye with tomato (and lots of butter.)

Amy's grilled cheese is my grilled cheese (although now that I see that she is into the American cheese, not quite. I'm all about the sharp cheddar, although I will mix it up on occasion with more exotic cheeses. I'm not exactly against American, but I'm not partial to it). Toasted cheese sandwiches are a different thing to me, but also a sandwich I quite like. I also like toasted bread with cold cheese in between. And cheese and pickle sandwiches. Bread+cheese+butter=yum.

My father-in-law was a radiologist, although he had to go to med school to become one so I am finding this conversation confusing. He roved from hospital to hospital reading X-rays wherever he was needed on a short-term basis. DH liked to call him an itinerant radiologist.

And I'm a Philistine who uses American cheese. (I like the way it melts, and it tastes like my childhood.)

This was me until lactose intolerance, but soy cheese slices are actually not bad (shreds, on the other hand... shudder ). And I find adding bologna to my grilled cheese tastes like childhood. But I'm a Philistine who still occasionally enjoys bologna.

Bologna (Oscar Meyer!) and yellow French's mustard on white bread also says childhood to me, and I still get a craving once in a while.

Radiologists are different from X-ray techs, which I think is what ZenKitty was suggesting. I forget how, though, except for them actually being MDs or something.

I need to turn in my grown-up card. For the first time in my life, water turned off for missed payment. I even have the missed payment letter right here by my computer!! Oh my god.

I can deal for one night, but srsly. how??1! so stupid.

Timelies all!

Going to see Fleetwood Mac tomorrow night. Should be fun.

These things happen, msbelle. You'll fix it.

I didn't even eat bologna sandwiches as a child but I still get vicariously nostalgic for them.

AND omg, my child is STILL not doing the schoolwork he needs to do. lying to me about it and about tutoring sessions. we are about to end week 2 of no electronics, can I get a week 3? week 3 anyone?

Eh, msbelle. I mean, maybe a grown-up demerit, but you can keep the card.

BTW, Jesse, I think Zappos must have it out for you

Dammit!

God bless my faux-son. I told him I found the roll of leather he'd been looking for, then he looked around and spotted several boxes of game bits that he could make off with. Then he started going "What's in that box over there? Is that his Necron tanks? Cool! That's coming. What's in this box? Brettonians!" It got to the point of his son saying "Stop looking at stuff, Dad!" I told him his Dad was Christmas shopping.

But a goodly portion of floor just got cleaned up. So many more portions of floor to go--dammit, be glad of the floor you've cleared, you foolish Puritan, you!
