Stolen cheese otherwise known as Stilton blue cheese. We call it Stolen though around these parts as even though its named after the town of Stilton where it was made famous-it was actually made in the Melton area and STOLEN! Apparently we in Melton will not let this go.

As far as I know, A&R is "artist and repertoire"... in a record company, I think you scout out new talent, and build a name for them, or something like that.

Haha, that's so random. It's so easy to forget that real people that you visit live in more real places than NYC, San Fran, DC, etc. I used to live in Bethesda. Now I live a mile or two East of it.

I'm old.

Ok, not old--but compared to most of the people on this board, I am no spring chicken.

Here's my list:

1. Cashier at fast food place
2. Hotel Maid
3. Service receptionist at car dealership
4. Transmission shop manager
5. Transmission parts warehouse salesperson
6. Administrative Assistant at computer company
7. Waitress (Four or five different places)
8. Realtor
9. Car detailer
10. Factory worker at a vitamin factory
11. Factory worker at a circuit board factory
12. Legal Secretary
13. Non profit founder and executive director
14. Business plan writer
15. Realtor's Assistant
16. Freelance writer/blogger

Man, I feel like there were a lot more than that. Maybe I'm forgetting. It happens when you get to a certain age.
