BGTSmoothie stopped by my office just now to collect something. It was 3:00 p.m. I met him in the lobby and he handed me a bag from McD's. What is this? I asked. It was a cheeseburger. Why would I need a cheeseburger in the middle of the afternoon. He said that he doubted that a "woman like you" would go from lunch to supper without a snack. Yes, I might have an afternoon snack, but it would never be a cheeseburger.
I had to accept it because he could not take it back because a cheeseburger combines meat and dairy and that isn't kosher. So I was stuck with a dilemma. Eat it or throw it out. *sigh* Because I am the kind of person who cannot throw out perfectly good food, I ate it. It was tasty. I was not in the least bit hungry. I'm mad at myself and at Smoothie.
I had leftover fish-n-chips from last night's supper (we ordered in) for lunch and I am having a rib eye steak (prepared by FF) for supper. And now a cheeseburger in between. Last week I was complaining about my weight to the Tall Teacher and he said "Hey, 100 more pounds and you can be on the Biggest Loser". Maybe I should aim for that. *sigh* (bis)

Mrs. A. has a word for people like you...ENABLER!
He's the enabler! Enabling me to eat an un-needed cheeseburger. I am the poor soul with no self control. :(
but you gotta love that tall teacher--
My only question is: who passes by to see someone and brings them a cheeseburger???
Scenario: "Hey, Nanuk and Mr. Anon, here are the Fantasia tickets I picked up for you...oh, and here's a cheeseburger for each of you!"
Am I the only one who finds this weird???

Secondly...a "woman like you" needs a bag of chips, not some McD's cheeseburger to hold her over till supper...Obviously, he knows nothing about you.

Thirdly and lastly: If someone is going to bring me a surprise cheeseburger, McD's would be the last one I would want.
Should anyone want to bring me one...top of the list: A & W.
mmmm!!!

I'm with JAW fan - bringing someone a cheeseburger is forcing them to eat it - a bag of chips you could put in a drawer, but a cheeseburger he's basically saying "eat this, now".
Aside: if when the Fantasia schedule comes out and you pick up tickets for us, chips = ok/cheeseburger=forget it!
Speaking of Fantasia, I noticed it's later than usual this year. (a month from today). Nanuk still has time to start dreaming of one of the programmers...
I don't have to dream. I saw him crossing Queen Mary about 2 weeks ago. I forgot to mention that thrilling moment on the blog.
Everybody agrees the cheeseburger is a weird idea? Good. I am not alone. It did FORCE me to eat it. I couldn't save it for later. Even FF, who is no stranger to being weird, found a cheeseburger a bizarre "snack".
And speaking of knowing me and what I need, FF bought me my own can of SC&O Pringles yesterday. I'm gonna miss that guy.
