Some cheap bologna fried in a pan and slapped on some toast with mayo and cheese is a pretty good poor mans sandwich though.

mmm ..... fried bologna sandwiches.... yumm yummm!!!
a staple in Ohio and I don't know where else...

There was a hellicopter over us within a couple of minutes doing circles as if looking for someone. That was all still going on when I left & came home. I've not seen anything on the news & see nothing online about it. I'm wondering if any of you know anything? I pray that who ever got shot is okay & that they caught the shooter!

This would be extremely frightening to me, esp if I had a child with me.
Seems like no where is safe anymore. Just absolutely nowhere.

Too many people feel too 'entitled' to take what they want, even if it means harming someone else, financially, emotionally, or physically.

It's plain nuts. I think we're not long here for the earth..... I do..
honest I do.....

Thanks! I used to live in a neighborhood in Ca. where this type of thing was commonplace. That was in my single, twenty something years & it really never got to me much back then.
Today shook me up though. I'm sure it was the vulnerable feeling of having the baby with me & the more adult concerns that come into our lives as parents.

My Dad has said for years that until we go through a "spell" of "wild west" type days things won't settle down. People who decide they can rob folks need to wonder if that person may shoot them first. I'm not sure I agree with that thinking 100% but I'm seeing things go in that direction.

Lots of praying going on over here.

This might make you feel alittle better SA08...You live in West patrol which is usually very active. In the last year or longer I have patrolled west off and on. The activity has dropped off quite abit from where it usually has been. Robberies/ Burglaries go up quite abit at this time of the year due the holidays.

My husband loves fried bologna sandwiches w/ mayo. I had never heard of such a thing before I met him.

I know they have it in Michigan and Florida, because my wife and I both have had them before me met and it's one of the few things all four of us can agree on.

Fried bologna sandwiches on toast with mayo was a staple when I was growing up, too. (Now I can't STAND bologna, but my kids sure love it!) Also, we had grilled cheese sandwiches with sliced onion and ketchup inside! YYEEE-UM!! (I do still love those!)

My folks were born and raised in KS, sooooooo.........

Also when I was a kid, my mom used to buy big hunks of bologna at the butcher counter. EVERY store had a butcher counter in those days. For a long time, we had ONLY the butcher counter. I can remember how leary we were when pre-cut, pre-packed meat packages appeared in stores.

Anyway, she'd buy this big chunk of bologna, and she would mount this heavy, heavy meat grinder onto the kitchen table; it had a nut & plate that she would tighten up to attach the grinder firmly.
Then she'd cut this hunk of bologna into smaller chunks, grind it, and then grind pickles (relish in a jar was too expensive for us then), and she would put mayonnaise in the bowl and mix it altogether and made sandwiches on white bread (which was delivered a few times each week).

I hated pickles, so she would save a slice or two of bologna for me.

I still LOVE bologna and bologna sandwiches.

When I and my brothers were older, one of us, I forget who, bought Mom a food processor for Christmas or maybe a birthday. I think she used it maybe twice in her lifetime. Later, one of us bought her the little tiny countertop chopper; she did use that....

God Bless you, Mom, all the things you gave up and all the things you did to care for us.... I hope someone is feeding you bologna sandwiches up there in heaven...... they still surely can't taste as good as yours did, though.

My husband's Nana makes that stuff, calls it bologna spread.
