I will say, my lunches consist mostly of yummy salads with mixed greens and sprouts, some raw veges, yogurt, fruit and milk. Yesterday I also brought (as pictured) home-made banana bread with peanut butter. So it&amp;#39;s healthy... but Burglars aren&amp;#39;t known to be health-conscious you know.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6747832045286924202/5261851891996319442/comments/default/9153471783665507580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6747832045286924202/5261851891996319442/comments/default/9153471783665507580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.ratherbeblogging.com/2009/09/guard-rat.html?showComment=1252113674299#c9153471783665507580' title=''/><author><name>Maureen</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10164394172135826561'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.ratherbeblogging.com/2009/09/guard-rat.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-5261851891996319442' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6747832045286924202/posts/default/5261851891996319442' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-2320606652072939839</id><published>2009-09-04T20:18:23.005-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-04T20:18:23.005-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Badass Geek: The Dreaded Lunch Burglar can strike ...</title><content type='html'>Badass Geek: The Dreaded Lunch Burglar can strike at anytime, anywhere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Babs-beetle: Oh, I rarely eat out. I can probably count on two hands over nearly 30 years, the times I haven&amp;#39;t brought my own lunch. I can&amp;#39;t imagine paying the exhorbitant costs they charge for food at the hospital. It&amp;#39;s ridiculous really. I feel sorry for visitors and family who HAVE to eat there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sistertex: Ha! Guard Rat was purchased on our last trip to the Mall of America. One store I always visit on every trip is &amp;quot;The Afternoon&amp;quot;. It has the funkiest stuff... and something I have been collecting from there (I have three now... so I can call it a &amp;quot;collection&amp;quot;) are these animals made from tools and nails, bicycle chains, etc. all recycled and made into art. They are soooo cool.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tara: Ah, the ONLY good thing from a sad state of affairs...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Green Stone Woman: Yep. A Burglar in our midst. I prefer to just to be proactive and remove my stuff altogether rather than worry about who it is. Luckily for me, I have my own private office and believe me, I keep it locked whenever I&amp;#39;m not there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ashley: Holy crap! They caught her! Awesome! Yes, Happy Belated Birthday Ashley... indeed everything will soon be &amp;quot;normal&amp;quot; once more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pinklea: Chocolate Thief!!! That&amp;#39;s even worse!!!!  Bastards indeed! Yeah, the only time I go into the staff room now is to wash up my dishes or to get water for my coffeemaker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sistertex: Oh crap! Er, I mean Oh Goody!!! ;) I shall check it out... thank you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jay: Exactly. Who knows WHAT goes on??? I prefer to keep an eye on my stuff. I know I come across as anti-social; but I really can&amp;#39;t stand sharing the eating area with loud, obnoxious slobs. You wouldn&amp;#39;t believe the state they leave that room in some days. Gross.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jo-Jo, I don&amp;#39;t get it at all either. Who would think that it&amp;#39;s a free-for-all when they open the fridge??? I was just appalled. I think some people are so spoiled or self-absorbed that they don&amp;#39;t even realize how wrong it is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jenny Mac: He IS fierce.
