We liked the Cauliflower Crust pizza we bought from Costco. I was hoping without the wheat that it would have less carbs. It has 20% carbs compared to 29% for the food court pizza, so still not great for a low-carb diet.

Yeah cauliflower crust is hit or miss since it can be marketed for gluten-free folks, or keto, so sometimes it is low carb and sometimes not. There is a popular pizza joint around here that has a low carb cauli crust that is SUPER tasty, I sometimes share it with my husband and he can’t tell (and I don’t tell him).

The “x Days Left” that always appears at the top at the start of Quordle and covers up a couple letters so you can’t see if you got any hits on those letters until it eventually times out.

Stupid colitis stomach. Spent an hour on the toilet before work, threw up bile. I’m so jealous of people who can just wake up and do things every day.

The dad told you that his son is too good to play violin with the school orchestra???

Not to me, he said it to a different parent that he didn’t know.

It’s also a town full of over achievers, so I think few people are impressed and his comments are both dickish and dumb.

Good Lord

People who follow you for a while, then decide to go around you, cut in front of you and immediately turn so that you have to slow down for them should have their licenses permanently revoked and be put in the public square in a stock and be pelted with rotten vegetables for a week.

wasnt sure if I’d be able to recognize if the vent would be blocked. well, it was easy. snow had blown into it (despite the opening being 2-3ft above the roof) and there was a few inches of caked in frost/snow. so i took the “tool” i bought based on some videos and scraped it out.

videos online suggested one thing. I got a .75in diameter and 10ft long pex pipe and just scraped it up and down until i saw the opening was clean. came in the house and the toilet that stopped working the night before flushed just like it’s supposed to.

the tell-tale that we thought it was blocked was hearing the “whoosh” from the sink earlier in the day after a flush. will find out tomorrow if the main line was a problem or just not draining great bc of the vaccuum

I’m at an elite athletic event where “fan” attendance was obviously expected to be light so they sent out postcards to the surrounding neighborhood with free admission. So a bunch of know nothings are in attendance, which is not a problem because I’m all for embiggening your following, but admission should have come with a requirement that, if you don’t know what you’re talking about, you shouldn’t be vocalizing commentary as if you’re some sort of expert…and get off my lawn!!!

This is a somewhat unusual description. Are you at a competitive eating event?

Someone used one of my travel coffee cups for non-coffee purposes and I can smell Red Bull on the lid every sip I take.

I hate when I have to be the bearer of bad news in my role. I know that the various functions of an organization should have some healthy disagreement and friction, but I am always the one pumping the breaks on this particular subject and it wears on me. I’m not the bad guy! We all want the same things, but we have to do it the right way.

Every quarter we draw a line in the sand, a deadline for when we’ll agree that we put our pencils down. And every quarter, somebody throws a wrench in the machine and everything goes off the rails. We are now nearing a week past the deadline and we are still in flux on what the heck we’re doing.

I hate year end. 15 hour days become the norm due to ridiculous internal reporting deadlines.

The heating/cooling fan in my car stopped working a couple of days ago. I took it in to the dealership for work just last week!! :angry:

I am a much bigger fan of leftovers than my wife. No problem there, as I usually enjoy them. However quite frequently she tells me she wants to eat something and it’s off limits, then days later it’s too old and needs to be tossed. Tonight was the pinnacle, as we are going out of town tomorrow. I threw one thing away that was previously off limits but too old, then said I was thinking about eating 4 items but was flexible. Nope, all off limits. Now that it’s close to bedtime, I can have one since she’s no longer interested. Two others went in the trash.

That’s crazy. I have no limits on leftovers.

The exception that proves the rule is my own birthday cake. Don’t eat the last piece of that… not cool. Everything else is free game. The only things that are off limits are ingredients earmarked for recipes that I’ll be making in the next few days.

Leftover anything that’s not my own birthday cake? Have at it.
