    I've solved the pizza problem. I pick up a $7.99 three topping pizza (M thru Th) at Dominoes and wrap each piece in plastic wrap and freeze it. One piece every three or four days and I satisfy my pizza fix for the week. Thawing it out properly is the key. Don't try to microwave it quickly. Instead of 1 minute on high, I do it at 20% (level 2 of 10) for 6 minutes then burst heat for 15 seconds on high. Your mileage may vary. I move it in the oven a few inches at least once to avoid cold spots.

    Whereas, Pizza Hut has always been expensive. I solved that problem 20 years ago and haven't graced their doors except when someone else is paying.

    We used to get Domino's delivered almost ever Friday night where we lived before. But when we moved out of that city to the house we bought in 2001, there was no Domino's close enough to deliver. There still isn't. But my new neighbor told me about Freschetta pizza. I told him that we don't like eating cardboard. He said I should just try it once. I'm glad he did. We don't miss Domino's anymore. The pizza is like fresh dough. It isn't pre-cooked, the dough rises in the oven. There's a nice little kick to the sauce, too. It's very tasty stuff. We get it whenever it's on a good sale, like we did just yesterday. We have a good sized freezer, so we usually get four when we buy it.

    ...the only issue I have with them and others like DiGiorno is they don't just have a sausage & cheese pizza (actually none of the frozen brands do) Can't have pepperoni anymore as it gives me terrible indigestion. Unable to do the "Hawai'ian style either because the pineapple along with the tomato sauce is like an "acid bomb" to the stomach. This pretty much limits me to the veggie, "weird stuff" that just isn't "traditional" on a pizza, or just plain cheese varieties.

    ...same here in Portland. Just a glorified streetcar with illusions of being a rapid transit system. And they keep building more lines at price tags in the billions while cutting essential bus service in areas not even served by LRT.

    The new streetcar in Washington, D.C. was supposed to open last year, but it has not opened yet. The current mayor is hoping it will open this year. A street car project in Arlington was scrapped after years of study. Officials never did give a good reason (or at least a regular civilian like me would understand). At least the buses and subway trains are still running.


    ...there is talk I have been hearing that DC may actually abandon their trouble ridden system.

    My old hometown of Milwaukee WI is now considering a streetcar project that a lot of people there think is a total waste of money.

    Oh, then Milwaukee will definitely go with the project! :smirk:

    ...exactly.

    Totally different flavor! I like both, by the way. Don't get molasses much, it's not something you can just use every day.

    You can usually get ground Italian sausage at the market. When we lived in Fall River, a popular topping on pizza was chourico. It's a Portuguese spicy sausage, really tasty. It's not something you'll find on a frozen pizza. But, we get a Four Cheese Freschetta pizza. I'll buy a package of Gaspar's (best brand of chourico, made in New Bedford) ground chourico, Diane will cook it up in a frying pan, let it cool, then freeze it in a big freezer zip bag. Then, when we want a chourico pizza, I get out a four cheese pizza and sprinkle some of the cooked, frozen, ground chourico onto the pizza and pop it in the oven. It comes out great! I'm sure the same can be done with ground Italian sausage! Or you can get regular Italian sausage links, cook them up, slice them, and freeze them the same way if you prefer slices to ground sausage.

    By the way, I've tried DiGourno...it's not as good as the Freschetta.

    no understands how the moon is rising 8:18am isn't the moon a night time thing?

    The moon "rises" approximately 50 minutes later each day. So there are times when it's up during the daylight hours.

    Dana

    I get very annoyed with (mainly fantasy) novels where the moon behaves unnaturally - having a crescent moon overhead in the middle of the night, for example, or having the moon permanently overhead at night as days go by. That and disregard for the actual speed of non-mechanical travel tend to be my bugbears.

    I hate it when I work on an image and then hit render and nothing happens except it shows that an error has happened with no clue what type of error. of course It won't render after that because the renderer stopped in an unusual manner.

    You may get a nicer view, or clearer, being in the mountains. But it is an observable thing everywhere, every month. Most people just don't pay attention, especially today. They're too busy looking at their "smart" phones to look up and see something that's really awesome.

    You can probably find out why if you look in the log. Of course, it may not be intelligible to the average person.

    I was just doing a test render to see how the scene was going. I am not finished building the scene.

    Not much time to Internet. It's been three hours without power. Turned batteries back on to get a forum fix. 3 pages in 3 hours. Wow.

    Not much to add, except that I love real maple syrup. It's time to renew my stock. Should be a good season here. over two weeks of freezing nights and thawing days. Trees get their juices flowing.

    l hope power comes on before I go to bed. I've gotten addicted to the electric blanket and there's no heat in the house.

    It's kind of surreal to be Interneting by candlelight! 8-s

    My battery says it has 19 minutes left.

    Our local transit system has signs on the buses and shelters at stops that read "Don't let LOL become DOA"

    Complaint:
    I broke Windows Update (I think I broke it) and after spending 2 hours with MS support (they were very patient) it is operating again.
    I was trying to get it to autofix (Windows 8 can do that with some stuff) by shutting the computer down and powering it back on (cold boot).
    When they were working with it, they were using Reset instead (duh) and that apparently solved the problem, except I needed to run the WU Troubleshooter which fixed 2 more things and seems normal now.
    Exhausting messing about with the computer. I think I know so much, and I really know so little...humbling.
    :-S

    Oxymoron is very descriptive. If one considers "oxymoron" to be "mindless cattle".

    Four and a half hours without power. Outside temperature was 28F. Inside temperature was not comfortable. I spent most of the late afternoon sitting in my recliner with a hoodie on and my granny blanket pulled up around me while listening to music on my MP3 player & headphones till its batteries died. I wanted a cup of tea. I had gas for the stove and matches to light it but I didn't have any water because the pump reservoir was drained. I was about to go crawl in bed fully clothed when the lights came back on at 7:45 PM.

    Back in 2004 I went through 3 or 4 days alone without power in Florida after one of the four hurricanes that went through Melbourne that year. Windows were sealed shut and it was August and a tree was sticking through the roof.
