Did any of you use the term “brown bread” to refer to whole wheat bread, growing up?
Keith bought white bread the other day and I was telling him that I preferred wheat, but instead said the words, “I like brown bread better.”
And suddenly I was eight-years-old or something. I don’t think I’ve called wheat bread “brown bread” since I was a kid, but I can’t recall whether that’s a real memory or something I’ve heard or what. Memories are so weird and disconnected since my mom passed away. Very odd.
Anyone have a childhood memory of “brown bread” to share that might help me connect the dots?
Meanwhile…
Today is the day I paid off my final credit card put into consolidation four years ago (when I was over $75,000 in debt). September 15th will be the first 15th in over four years that an automatic payment will not go from my checking account to the Debt Consolidation program. I am freeeeeeeee. *phew* Feels good. REALLY good.

Congratulations on that big feat Bon!
Good for you!
About the bread question, we were a strictly white bread family. Whole wheat, brown bread, never an issue at our house.
When we got older my mom liked to say, “You were raised on white bread and white sugar and you all think you are so damn smart. So it must not have hurt!”
Now I like oat bread best, if , there isn’t any garlic toast handy!
Congrats on being debt free!

Hey Bons…would love to hear about this debt consolidation program. I’ve got like $10k hanging over my head and the interest on one of the 2 cards is like 25% because I was late with like 2 payments the first year I had the card. That alone is keeping me from things I need to climb another rung on the ladder…namely acting classes.
congrats, honeybunny!!!!! I knew you could do it!!!!

Oh yeah….
Lavern would refuse to buy wheat bread for me as a kid. I always wanted to try it, but she wouldn’t budge. If she wasn’t going to eat it, she wasn’t about to have it in the house. I remember begging her for “brown bread” quite often
