I only had a few 45's and I think all of them got lost or thrown away in one of the zillions of moves. Most of my music was on cassette because I had to be seen with my like jambox. I adore Duran Duran, Asia, Journey, Men at Work, and all the other usual suspects of 80's one-hit-wonderness. LOL

Hmm..
Once upon a time I used to stick horseradish on my sandwiches.
Then I ended up being super sensitive to spicy foods, right after I had mono, and had to give up the horseradish.

But, I sometimes do odd stuff like meatloaf sandwiches.
I make a 'sauce' of mayo and mustard to spread across the meatloaf slab.
Roughly 1 part mustard to 10 parts mayo.

My roast beef sandwiches are pretty much the same, mustard mayo sauce on provolone cheese and roast beef, but the bread is whatever is close to hand.

[Darksheare]

Had some off color 45's as well.
Those have LONG since become MIA in my many moves over the years.
Of course, my stereo system disappeared as well and had to be replaced in '88.
I'd resurrected a stereo system that had a turntable, cassette deck, and tuner sections.
And during moving, it vanished.

But I still have the Asia, Big Country, and Men At Work albums!
*chuckle*

Can't find Blue Murder's "We All Fall Down" as well as Gravity Kill's "Guilty" anywhere.
Seems these respective musicians have fallen from the face of the Earth.

The best leftovers I've ever had were after visiting a college friend's family in Tennessee. Her mother packed us food for the trip back to school. She made turkey sandwiches on english muffins spread with butter and mayo. Before I ate it I didn't know if I could get it down, the thought of butter and mayo didn't seem too tasty. Then I tried it and loooved it. I spent the rest of the time trying to figure out how to talk the other girls out of theirs! LOL

*looks innocent*
I've *cough* never done that before.. *Cough cough*
Honest.. *cough*

[JustAmy]

Nothing odd about meatloaf sandwiches. I just skip the mustard and go straight to the mayo, add some swiss cheese and lettuce. Ahhhh ...perfect!

[JustAmy]

I have never considered butter and mayo ..... does seem weird.

I may have to try it ... be adventurous.

Hey .... all this talk about food is making me hungry. Guess I'd better go fix a quick snack. Mr JA will probably come in soon looking for something to eat and accuse me of being on the computer all morning. LOL

[Donaeus]

Do you remember a band called Vitamin Z? I think they were from Canada, sounded a bit like A-ha and Crowded House.

I guess you can say I'm a cheat because my Asia and Men At Work are on CD. I haven't listened to my cassettes for several years because my stereo has been in storage and I switched out my car stereo to CD. I really miss having a tape deck.

What format are you looking for "We Fall Down" and "Guilty" in? We have a great chain here, Half Price Books, which also deals in music on vinyl, cassette and CD. I'd be happy to look for you. Also ebay and half.com would be good places to look. Half Price has a website but stock is limited to the most popular titles and I've never tried to search them for music.

*looks innocent* I've *cough* never done that before.. *Cough cough* Honest.. *cough*

There's someting in your tone that makes me doubt you....*snickers*

[Darksheare]

*chuckle*
The mustard mayo deal goes well with pan cooked trout as well.

[Darksheare]

Sounds familiar, Vitamin Z, but some of the 80's are hazy to me music wise.
I'm 28 at this point in time, and still remember quite clearly getting tormented with Neil Diamond.
I remember Devo, The Cars, The Plasmatics, The Ramones, Sex Pitstols, (Redundancy?) and Arcadia.

Been looking for Blue Murder and Gravity Kills on CD.
I get the CD then mp3 from it.
And then attempt to keep the CD in pristine form just in case.
Most places I've found the CD's at wanted an arm and a leg for them, or the shipping is ridiculous.
*ugh*
Hmm.. will check it out later. half price.com?
Hmm..

[Darksheare]

Well, my sis had a sandwich that she complained about.
When it looked like I'd eat it if she didn't, she suddenly had an interest in it.
After that she has a chicken sandwich addiction.

[Donaeus]

Time to go home, I'll post more when I can log in at the house. "See" you shortly. :)

[Darksheare]

Okers.
See you when you get back.

[JustAmy]

[MeekOneGOP]

No, I haven't been there. But I also haven't bought any music in a while, either, hehe !

I used to buy my CD's at Best Buy. They seemed to have a big selection and at usually good prices.

Thanks for the In a Big Country music link !

That is too cute! I'll pretend the turkey I'm eating Thursday is really peanut butter and jelly. Think that will work? :)

I was out hiking with the missus and the step-daughter on a backwoods trail and nature called.
And when you gotta go, you gotta go.
Well, I found a nice lonely spot aways from the trail in the center of a ring of a few pine trees to do my business.
I was just finishing up and was about to hitch up the trousers when I heard the most blood chilling sound one can hear while in a vulnerable state.
I heard a tom turkey 'gobble' behind me.
Seems I befouled part of his terrortory and he wasn't pleased.
I heard the shuffling sound of wings, and the skitter of feet immediately before I had him land flat on my back.
Needless to say, I didn't need the push to get myself moving.
From the missus and step-daughter's point of view, they heared the turkey make his call, heard me shout, and saw me come running out of the woods back onto the trail like a shot, still buckling my belt.

Needless to say, two things were learned from this.
One) Never moon a turkey.
Two) Turkey deserve to be eaten out of revenge for the turkey attack.

[JustAmy]

LOL

Your story is great.

Before we retired, we raised turkeys. I can see you being attacked by that big Tom Turkey. They can be mean.
