Word of the Day: Jargon Definition: Unintelligible language, outlandish talk Used in a sentence: Every walk of life has it’s jargon.
You are not going to believe this. I started making the HH a ham and cheese sandwich this morning to take to work but when I opened the fridge I couldn’t find the 2 PACKAGES of sliced cheese I bought a few weeks ago. I finally asked the HH if he had seen the sliced cheese and he informed me that he and Lucy ate all the sliced cheese over the weekend. THEY ATE A POUND OF CHEESE.
- I don’t even know how that is possible. It’s sliced for Pete’s sake. Don’t you think after the 5th sliced a bell would go off and you’d be like, wow, I think I’ve had too many slices?
- Dogs are not supposed to eat cheese.
- Why heat up the food your wife left for you ON COVERED PLATES in the fridge when you can eat A POUND of sliced cheese instead.
I’m still shaking my head. What a weirdo.
Have a great Thursday everyone,
♥ Mavis

Donna in VA says
Why on earth do you think dogs are not supposed to eat cheese? My dog’s favorite treat is cheese. He gets his pills in cheese. He gets cheese in his Kong. Mozzarella is easiest to shape because it’s soft. He goes through a pound of mozzarella about every 2 weeks.
Mavis Butterfield says
Really? I thought dogs were not suppose to have dairy products. Ha! Oh my word. Maybe my husband isn’t so crazy after all.
Tamara says
I love it! THIS is real life! And yes, dogs can have cheese, although I’m not sure THAT much at one time is good for anybody – 2 or 4 legged! 🙂 (they survived, though, didn’t they!?!)
Tamara says
And you wonder why Lucy loves him so…
Mavis Butterfield says
I know, right?
Bev Hallowell says
They have dog cheese snack! Vet always says, put the pill in a piece of cheese. I personally wouldn’t give it to them daily! But for a treat; oh yeah
Rebecca says
My dog also loved cheese – – – and he lived to be 18! My son fed him just about any table food and somehow he thrived. Guess you’re going to have to buy bigger quantities of cheese.
I love the picture you posted of Lucy with this story. Her face seems to say, “but Mom, it was soooooo goooood! We just couldn’t stop at 1 slice…………..”
Smo says
Ha! So funny. My Little rat terrier get her meds in a slice of fat free cheese. She loves it! We go fat free to keep her SLIM 15 pounds. Look for one with milk as the first ingredient, not water. Men are cheese eaters, what else is there to say?
Ashley says
This must be my Wisconsin showing through, but I wouldn’t think twice about going through a pound of cheese over a weekend…..
Connie says
You and me both! I. LOVE. WISCONSIN. CHEESE. 🙂
Teri says
I’m with Ashley — a pound over a weekend (shared with a dog) doesn’t sound excessive!
Laura says
As someone with a linguistics background, I have to disagree with the definition you gave for Jargon. It’s not “unintelligible language” or “outlandish talk” but words or vocabulary used within a particular group or profession, and that show membership in group when used with others. The words may sound strange, or not be understood outside the group or profession, but that’s kind of the point. For example, in the navy, the bathroom is the “head,” rumors are “scuttlebutt” and underwear are “skivvies.” The words may sound weird if you’re not in the navy, or if they’re used outside of the navy, but anyone who’s serving or has served knows exactly what those words mean. Lots of other professions or groups have their own jargon; even individual families have their own jargon!
Jannette Bradley says
What kind of cheese are we talking about? And were crackers provided? Actually I could go thru that much cheese in a New York minute left to my own devices. But then again I think also that a pint of Häagen-Dazs® is a “serving”… so you might not want to take my comment with a grain of salt (which, surprisingly, I consume in moderation;-)
Anne F. says
Mavis,
Cheese is crack.
Julia says
My husband does the same thing with our sliced cheese. I go to make sandwiches, which is what I bought the cheese for, only to find he ate the whole pack. So I and up making grilled cheese with shredded cheese. Go figure.
