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.

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.

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!

What's your favourite grilled cheese sandwich recipe?

Essential Baking Co. rosemary bread, thinly-sliced Braeburn apple, and lots of super-sharp aged cheddar. Cooked with butter in a skillet.

HOWEVER, I am a grilled cheese sandwich fiend, so I will eat almost any variation. And now I kinda want to get some plain white bread and American cheese slices, because nostalgia.

It happens, msbelle! It's good that you can get it taken care of tomorrow. The water bill, I mean. I have fewer ideas about mac and homework, sadly.

Okay, that sounds awesome.
