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.

My ideal grilled cheese is the one from the one cafeteria in college (the other one didn't make them)--just plain white bread and american cheese, but oh so good. I think it involved lots of butter to make the bread crispy.

Possibly in honor of the grilled cheese discussion, I did just make myself a quesadilla...

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.

Xray techs would DO the X-ray. Radiologists would READ the Xray (or CT scan, or MRI, or PET scan). The radiologist doesn't need to be in the same room/hospital/country as the patient--they can look at the scans and say "Yes, this is broken" (or more complex-ly, "yes, this is probably a tumor that has grown from 1.2 to 1.5 inches, whereas that over there is probably atelectasis of the lungs, and this is a nodule on the kidney that has been there since the initial scan, and...")

Honestly, I think the best grilled cheese requires a grill in a coffee shop or diner that has that built-up grill grease/flavor.

I have way too thoughts about grilled cheese. I should eat dinner.

I do occasionally like to use mozzarella cheese in a grilled cheese, because the cheese gets all stretchy and string-y.

Jilli! I hope this doesn't sound crazy, but... Tim's company got a bunch of tiny keepsake memorial urns to scrap, and he wondered if that was a gothy sort of thing you might want. It looks sort of like this, size- and design-wise: [link]

And if that's weird as hell, or you just don't want more stuff, that's cool. But Tim was very excited about them, so I told him I'd mention it.

And if that's weird as hell, or you just don't want more stuff, that's cool.

Actually, I would love to have them. They'll probably creep Pete out no end, but he's used to that by now.

He saved one, because he didn't want to throw off the weight of the scrap load by pulling a bunch out (it's heavy for such a little thing!). If you want just the one, email me your address and I'll send it to you.
