Tomato soup with grilled cheese (even better with ham!) is classic. :)
I have to ask.  Why margarine and not butter?

 i grew up eating them made with margarine. my wife did too.
we've tried butter and prefer it without.

Okay.  I just find margarine to be a little too oily and much less "buttery".

i used to make grilled
ham and cheese on whatever was in the breadbox. since about 10
years ago i've been making it exclusively on that one brand of rye
and adding a little dollop of bacon fat, no more than 1/8 tsp, to
the pan for each side of the sandwich.

Okay, whatever floats your boat!  I'm not a fan of rye bread but I have probably never had really good rye bread.  I also don't save bacon fat.

After we both get jabs. Pnuemonia (1st) for her, TDAP (tetanus,
diptheria, whooping cough) for me. Docs orders.

 

Whooping cough?  Are you around many babies?

 i need a tetanus shot. CVS app lists both tetanus plus diphtheria,
and tetanus plus diphtheria plus whooping cough. i decided to wait
and ask my doc. had a regular checkup this week, she said the
tetanus, diphtheria, and whooping cough one, TDAP, so that's the
one i'm getting.
 

Okay, I'm not trying to argue with you.  Just seems a simple tetanus shot should be available without combining those other things.  But hey, in my area CVS is one of the most expensive pharmacies there is so why not combine the shot and charge [possible insurance company] more.

and yes, i'm around babies all day long 5-6 days a week. you ever
worked with tool and die makers? the least whiny person in the
shop, besides myself and my son of course, is the young lady
(age late 20s) with bright orange hair currently, who finished
her tool and die apprenticeship a few years ago. :)
 

LOL Nope, never worked with tool and die makers.  I have worked with people who whined a lot.
