I would love to own a house with a devoted British-style study, with hardwood walls and all that.
All I would do is study and read. All day long.
I ate enough of it when I was a kid. "Ordering out for pizza" was a serious treat, when we didn't have a lot of cash floating around.
I just saw that they had a lunch special - personal pizza and drink for 4 bucks. Lousy pizza or no, that's pretty hard to beat. I'd be hitting that regularly, back in my college days.
She’s definitely looking the 56 years old that she is.
If she hadn’t done drugs, she probably would have looked in her mid-thirties still.
Excellent for $17.95 vs. OK/decent for $7.99 about covers it.
Will Aunt Joan ship me a pizza for my birthday?
If I had all the money I wanted I would unquestionably be dead.
No doubt in my mind.
It’s not the dough, it’s the water...
Flour is flour...
One step would diminish it a great deal: execute drug dealers, from street level to kingpin. No plea bargains, no deals.
Well I guess that money wont make you happy after all.
Heck no! A spork! Duh!
That’s what I keep getting told, but I’m too stupid to know for sure without experiencing it myself.
My kids grew up loving little Caesar’s pizza. Of course, it tastes NOTHING like real pizza, but then, it’s obviously not meant to. I was raised in REAL pizza country. Where I live, now, the locals think Pizza Hut Is real pizza. (Which it USED to be, until the Founders sold it to PepsiCo.) Oh, well. I guess today’s my day to be nostalgic. Funny thing is, for kids my kids’ age, Little Caesar’s makes them feel nostalgic. I want “Willoughby”...they probably long for “Land Of The Lost”.
No, but I did ask for the pizza to be cut into smaller slices.
In the long run my solution to the dilemma posed by NY style pizza is to never again visit NYC. It’s not really my kind of thing anyway.
I always tell my kids that fame and wealth can be a curse. They think I’m kidding, but you need look no further than the news to see the rich and famous killing themselves.
Colder than a slice of left over pizza.
"If I were rich I'd have the time that I lack to sit in the synagogue and pray,
And maybe have a seat by the eastern wall;
And I'd discuss the Holy Book with the learned men seven hours every day; that would be the sweetest thing of all!"- Tevye, Fiddler on the Roof
One could do worse, and few could do better.
At 61 you’re not a kid anymore. You’ve got to know your limitations.
Even bad pizza is better than no pizza (or something like that...._
