Who wants cold pizza from a delivery truck anyway?

Kate, now is not a good time to be a smartypants.

What doesn’t kill you probably should have.

Well I don’t want any pizza anyway.

Make that a Deluxe, deep dish with sesame seed crust. Add two Caeser salads……

Methinks the grapes were sour.

Dad seems to be enjoying Danae’s tortured scream so much, that he doesn’t want Kate stopping the fun prematurely.

don’t they have snowmobiles, snowcats or a sleigh?

Once I had the doorbell ring and the pizza guy was there empty-handed. There was an orange circle in the snow. “I’ll have to come back.” That walk got sanded well before he returned, you bet!

If the choices are between 3 feet of snow and an inch of ice, I’d take the snow. Otherwise, have fun chipping open your car door…

Ah, a father’s quick wit. Always refreshing to see the other side of the coin.

What does not kill you…… is likely to come back and finish the job…

What a crock - owning a non leathal Hello Kitty collection, lace doilies and throw pillows do NOT make you stronger. Unless you mean the death of your SOUL…

Make your own pizza- add fresh garlic and spices to the dough for the crust, sauce contains tomatoes (either crushed, sauce, paste, or fresh) and whatever (more garlic and spices, veggies), top with more veggies, sausage (home made preferable) and cheese and etcs. Much better than any delivered xxx. Plus there is the wonderful fragrance as it bakes!! It doesn’t have to be round- any baking sheet works- I use a 9x13 ‘cookie’ pan. Squares and rectangles eat just as well as wedges!

What does not kill you softens you up for what does.

I’ve never had delivery pizza in my life, and can’t imagine how something that came out of the oven half an hour ago can be as good as a frozen pizza fresh from the oven. The latter also being much cheaper and much more convenient!

olmail, spot on! very few ‘absolutes’…. Wiley, FUNNY!

Whatever makes you stronger can still kill you.

Good thing about NYC, you can get any type of food delivered in ANY weather.

That which does not kill me makes me… stranger.
A lot of things have not killed me.
Dapperdan61 Premium Member over 13 years ago
The 1 day it does snow was on my garbage pickup day. Service was cancelled so where do I put all the empty pizza boxes ?
HowieL over 13 years ago
Whatever kills me may make me smell stronger.

Nab and Prfessor–
I had the Rubella form of measles when I was a baby and the mumps in 4th grade, and I have given birth to two beautiful daughters, both now grown and out of the nest. Sterility would have been tragic…I would have missed out on the best experience of my life….I wouldn’t trade my girls for all the money in the world.

homemade is better….you can skip the cardboard and have real crust
marvee over 13 years ago
Don’t say that to Danae, at least not when you’re standing that close.
Jaroca2 over 13 years ago
Nabu,
Can you NOT always be a wet blanket?
Give us a break, PUHLEEEZE…………….lighten up, already
Jaroca2 over 13 years ago

Lively group today.
And, even more shocking, it’s on living longer, the weather, illness, pizza, etc. –not the usual suspects.
A pessimist is someone who looks for the dark cloud around the silver lining.
Justice22 over 13 years ago
@ jump4joy,,, I wouldn’t trade your girls for anything either. Bravo!

What doesn’t kill you will at least cost you your deductible,…nightgaunt, usually schools get 5 snow days a year, without having to make them up….it’s hard to say who loves snow days more, students or teachers. And believe me, at 5:30 in the morning, during a blizzard, even with the prospect of going a day or two longer in June, both teachers and students will still rejoice at a snow day..

Bye pizza!
