Soups give you tons of variety. Pasta also works with a nice meat sauce etc.

But yeah soup, cut up your protien into really small pieces, cut up mushrooms etc, and you get tons of flavor, all the protient/veggies etc, and no chewing:)

Soups rock!!

Even if you can chew they still rock.

Something like that?

I book marked it I'm gonna try it!!!

Btw Sizzler was mentioned earlier. It's the only place that I know of that seriously improved over the years or at least the sizzler in Tacoma WA is miles ahead of the one I used to eat at in Fremont CA.

In Fremont I was in my early 20's and would go there for the buffet (especially the steak soup which was one of the few ways to get all you can eat steak at the time). The food was .....ok, but nothing special, and it was for the mass quantaties I would go. I would get the hamburger with the buffet as it was cheaper than just getting the buffet by itself (and came with french fries and well a burger.

But right before covid I would go to the sizzler in tacoma and I swear it had the best freaking burger in town, hands down. I don't eat nearly as much so just the burger + fries was enough and the price wasn't bad either.

If Red Robin was a 5-6 in burger quality, Sizzler was a 9-10, and I so didn't expect that. I would drive 30 mins out of my way for their burger.

Be fun to roleplay a group of cats that try and take over the world:)

What chain is this?

I have a funny story about Black Angus.

https://www.blackangus.com/

So it's a good steak house, there were plenty in CA at least when I was younger.

The story is about their delicious steak and mushroom soup (which I loved).

We would drive like 40 mins to go to Black Angus in the bay area, me, my wife and my best friend.
I loved that soup so much. Anyway the steak was good, but I went for the soup and I was very food oriented in my youth. So every few months we we go out there just so I could get the soup.

One month, many many years ago, we drove out there and......they discountinued the soup!! Supposedly my face fell and I looked so sad that my wife and friend cracked up and talked about it for years after that. I loved that soup so much.

So I will always remember Black Angus for their delicious soup and the unbearable dissapointment when it went away.

The only way to win is to never play at all.

You would never have to make that decision. You're a man. You can't get pregnant. Whatever you think you'd hypothetically do is pointless to say because you will never have to make the decision. It's easy to say what you'd do when you never actually have to make a choice.

Actually I CAN make that statement because I have followed those rules even though I can't get pregnant myself. I have not had sex with random people, I have not ever taken a chance at getting someone pregnant unless I was willing (and they were willing) to raise a child together if she did get pregnant.

My gender does not prevent me from being careful and taking the potential child into consideration before I engage in an activity that could create it.

Meanwhile if I COULD get pregnant (Which I would have loved the ability to do mind you) I know myself well enough to state that I would not have an abortion. I might take a pill to prevent pregnancy if I was raped, but if I had sex with someone voluntarily and got pregnant I would never have considered it. That is all I said, and it's true. You certainly don't know me better than I know myself. Maybe I would be a bit different if I was another gender, but I doubt I would be different enough to change how I feel about it.

I personally think people should be responsible enough not to need abortions and now that the tech exists to prevent accidental pregnancies (and reverse the procedure later if needed), it's crazy that it isn't used/available for everyone free of charge after puberty.

I would not have an abortion personally if I got pregnant due to voluntarily having sex and not using appropriate birth control. I think at that point the life is your responsibility and you need to at least ensure it finds a good family to care for it, if you are not able to, or do not want to. Many would be happy to adopt a baby, so it could have a good life.

I am a bit more torn in the case of rape etc, but again in most cases you can take a pill afterwards to ensure you don't get pregnant. Also if you have had surgery etc for long term birth control, you can't get accidently impregnated even if you are raped (which hopefully won't happen anyway).

So honestly I'm a bit torn on the issue, but I don't like to put my beliefs on others, so I lean towards having abortions be legal. I personally would like any such abortions to include a procedure to avoid any future accidental pregnancies, that just needs to be reversed if the person wants to have kids in the future.

While we don't have free health care, some things should be paid for to protect the interests of people who don't exist yet, and save resources over all, therefore I think the surgeries to prevent pregnancy and any abortions (that include that surgery) should all be free and covered by the gov/tax payers. Less people being born without a family that can provide them with a good life, and sometimes with parents that resent them etc, the better.

I don't think abortion should be taken off the table but I do feel that no doctor should ever be forced to perform them (which they are not really right now, but if you go into that field it may be required of you). I think the solution is to make abortions not needed almost ever (unless the mothers life is in danger etc). Another method is to streamline the adoption process and take out all the rediculous additional costs so that the mother of a child that puts a baby up for adoption gets a significant amount of money, making it MUCH less likely that an abortion would happen, and providing many children with loving families.

There is no easy solution, but I do think stronger birth control access is something we should have universally on this planet and certainly in the US. We have enough people, lets ensure any future people have a loving family that will support them and give them the best life possible. I consider it far worse to have a child and not love it and provide for it's future, than to abort a child.

Suffering in my mind is far worse than death, and if you bring a child into this world and abandon it, you are almost certainly causing it alot of suffering.

Prime Rib I feel is the one exception. All the other cuts are definitely cheaper to buy from a grocer and make your own, but with Prime Rib you need to buy a whole rib roast to make it properly which can easily cost around $100.

Nah, prime rib is just a ribeye roast, and you can often get whole roasts fairly cheap (was 6.99 recently at safeway a pound). A 4 pound Rib eye roast is generally $30 or less, you often can't even get 1 steak for that price most places.

Even at full price (no sale) they are about $10-11 a pound, and you can get 3-4 pound roasts...so yeah, even if you wanted 2 pounds for yourself and 2 pounds for a friend, it would be WAY cheaper to buy and make yourself even at full price.

I personally usually cut up a roast and bbq individual steaks. A 4 pound roast for $28 for instance, cuts up into 4 very nice ribeye steaks, all costing about $7 each. That is 4 very yummy meals for me and even adding in potatoes/brocolli etc...it's under $10 a meal. Similar price today out would be $30 and it wouldn't be nearly as good (and I'd have to drive into town etc).

Ive had great steak at higher end places. No steak at a generic chain has ever wowed me.

But yeah cheaper to make your own. I can make a decent steal. Better than an outback but not 9-10 every time though.

Alot of it comes down to where you get your steak, the quality of the steak is key to a good one. After that it has a bit to do with the cut/thickness of the steak, if it's too thick it can be alot harder to get perfect.

I don't like my steak thicker than an inch because of this, and when making my own I can control the thickness. That allows you to get a nice sear on both sides quickly, while still having pleanty of pink/juice inside. A good medium-rare (which is my preferred doneness.

If I ask for medium-rare even at good restraunts they will often give me a medium (and rarely a rare) steak. If there is no pink inside I won't eat the steak. I have had steaks that I ordered medium rare with no JUICE at all, stone dry, and very over done (I always send them back like that, at least if there is juice it's edible).

Years of making steaks though let me at least approach perfect every time I make them. Everyone once in a blue moon I might let it cook a tab bit too long, but I never once have gotten to the dry stage with my own steaks.

That is the biggest problem with eating steaks out, not the cost, but the extreme variability of chefs to determeine what medium is, and how much they pay attention to the rare part (IE lean on the side of under-done when making it medium).

A medium steak should NEVER have no pink at all. A medium rare steak should just be cooked a bit longer than it takes to sear both sides.

I can eat a rare steak, I won't like it as much but as long as it's seared, it's edible. I can't eat a well-done dry steak, it's a waste of meat and a chore to eat. Why would I pay for something like that.

Outback has sucked every time I have gone, so I don't go anymore.

Black Angus used to be great but have not gone in decades.

Sizzler has both good steaks and burgers for an affordable price if there is one near you.

I BBQ a mean steak though so I rarely get steak out (even pre-covid). Hard to justify spending $30 for a steak meal, when you can get a ribeye on sale for $7 or even not on sale for $10-12.

My potatoes are better as well, and I always cook my brocolli just the way I like it (and/or mushrooms).

Basically making a steak meal at home is half the price or less and I always get a 9-10 taste/quality out of it, with less effort (no driving) than if I went out to eat. That isn't even factoring in tax/tips etc.

Would have been more funny if the woman's tshirt cost more as well lol.

I was a 3rd grade teacher (Also taught 1st and 5th a bit) and we certainly did teach things, the reason I taught those grades is the developmental skills you learn at that point provide you the tools to learn anything you want later on.

After elementary teachers only get a small window each day with a very large group of kids. I didn't want to try teaching 200+ kids a day, I felt I would not be able to make enough difference in individuals lives like that, so it's not always the teachers fault if students don't learn much.

Also we are forced to teach specific things, we do have (or at least did, I hear it's harder now) some leeway in HOW we teach it, but you generally have to follow a specific guideline on what you teach each year.

As a 3rd grade teacher I focused on helping the students who were behind (about 1/3rd of each class) catch up for the first half of the year and usually had different groups that I would create assignments for. I also provided puzzles and challenges for students who were ahead of the class so they did not get bored.

I did have 1 student (IN THIRD GRADE) who identified as the other gender. I was baffled but just went with it. In elementary we certainly were not touching on gender identities, sex ed etc. I have no clue what they teach in high school etc now considering how the world has changed, though I guess including anal sex might make sense at this point (never had a sex ed class myself and I figured everything out just fine lol).

Anyway there are many bad/burnt out teachers, especially in the higher grades and I can totally understand it. Every class I had in CA was over 40 students with at least 3 special needs children in the classroom. No parent volunteers, no teachers aids, just me with 40+ kids including some who were a serious handful by themselves.

Luckily I was a popular/fun teacher and I got the classrooms under control. The parents loved me and for the most part it wasn't too stressful, but I took over a 5th grade class half way through the year (Before I got my credentials) and the previous teacher (who quit halfway through the year) had no assigned seats and tried bribing the students with ice cream and pizza (then left without giving them any lol). That was my intro to teaching and the first 2 weeks were a serious trial. I think most would have noped right out and given up on teaching, but after 2 weeks, having them in assigned seating, knowing all their names etc, I got that classroom under control.

I feel bad for teachers in general even if some have just given up and barely do the minimum. The job is not fair, it doesn't pay enough for you to live off, and it has WAY longer hours than most people think if you are actively trying to teach your students. The teacher I mentored with Ms. Perino was an excellent teacher who had previous students come back and thank her year after year (after they were adults). She got there at 6 am and didn't ever leave till after 6 (and then corrected papers at home). I followed her method and spending that time/energy does make a HUGE difference in the learning environment, but you sure as heck are not getting paid anywhere near enough to warrant a 13-14 hour day. It's very rewarding to see the changes and difference you have made in your students lives, but it's also life consuming to actually do a good job, especially in places like CA with such large classes and so little resources.

I don't know if i'll be able to teach again anymore due to my eyesight etc, but if I do, I WILL NOT teach again with a teachers assistant to help me out. I can't handle the stress anymore, and I just won't have that much pressure and such long time requirements put on me again. It's better here in Washington from everything I have heard, but CA was rediculous. Teachers were totally unappreciated and the burn out rate was insane.

I like both chili with beans and without. For fry dunking I love it without, on a hot dog, without for sure.

Yeah, I get that it's basically just a meat sauce with different spices, but you can't buy a good meat sauce for pasta anywhere (I mean trader joes has a frozen turkey based one, but never can find good bolgonese meat sauces sadly frozen etc.

Best bet has been to just buy the sauce from a restraunt like olive garden but they charge rediculous amounts for a pint of it....not cost effective.

That leave you with making your own, even if you use a jar sauce as a base. You gotta brown the meat + other ingrediants and let it slow cook for at least an hour to meld the flavors.

But with a can of good no-bean chili that actually tastes good all by itself (generally better then browned plain ground beef), you could just add some of that to a jar of prego and suddenly have a real meat sauce that can just be combined into a container and microwaved.

Gonna make my normal sauce today, but I am so trying that out later this week.

I know people add chili to pasta to make like a mexican dish of some kind (or pasta to chili), alot of soups are like that etc.

But yeah, I'm mainly talking about making a good spagetti (or rigatoni etc) with a traditional pasta sauce (from a can/jar) but add some no bean chili to it to give it the meaty flavor taste of a meat sauce.

Seriously can't find anyone that does this but it seems so obvious now. It must be done, just.....nobody makes videos etc of it.

I like, might have to make one and put it out there if it works cause it's world changing!!

As bad as the prequels are, at least they had a vision behind them, unlike the sequels being designed by committee to have as much public appeal as possible.

I consider episode 1 the worst of the prequels, and to be honest both 2 and 3 had good moments (and bad). That for the most part was not true of the original trilogy (excluding a few from Jedi).

Even episode 1, which I liked the least, wasn't horrid in that it was the first new star wars movie in forever and it was a setup for what was to come, funnily enough, it was a new hope for star wars fans.

I remember leaving the movie feeling pretty good about it's direction even if I didn't like Jar Jar etc. It was...in many ways, comparible to Return of the Jedi, just not as good, but instead of ending a story, it was starting one (so points for that).

Attack of the clones did some things really well, enough so that again, I left feeling ok about the movie. The romance between annakin and padme just seemed off to me, weird, considering he was a little kid in the last movie. Still you got the first tendrils of Darth Vader and could see the direction things were going. Both Mace Windu and Yoda rocked in their battles (shoulda mentioned the good Darth maul battle in the first episode which was pretty much the best battle in that one). Episode 2 def had better battles.

Then you get episode 3. Honestly if the original 3 movies were not so iconic and freaking amazing for their time (not that many movies like it back then), I would rank episode 3 up there with them, I really can't easily say I like it less than Return of the Jedi, both are really good in their own ways.

Episode 3 was the promise the first 2 movies were leading to, and I think they did a good job ending that story. While some things could have been better, there were so many good parts in the movie, order 66, the younglings, the Nooooo at the end, just.....alot. I totally felt emotions watching it (more so then in the original movies even). Could it have been better, and especially could the movies leading up to it be better (just get rid of Jar Jar and that helps a ton), yes. But the prequel movies were not garbage, and I still had hope for the star wars franchise.

The last 3 movies, or at least Episode 7,8 and 9? I wish they were not canon. I wish they had gone with Timothy Zhans version of the future. It would have been so much better and we all deserve to see Mara Jade in a movie. We really do. Please scrap the last 3 movies and start over disney. Make it a mini series, make it animated, I don't care, but give us some real resolution to the original story.

So today I was making some chili dogs because somehow I got to talking about wineir snitzell on here awhile ago and have been jonesing for them since.

I always use no bean chili for chili dogs, and this time I had natures valley no bean chilli. The dogs were yummy.

But it got me thinking. I'm about to make a full on slow cooked pasta sauce tomorrow. Already have the ground beef, sausage, bell peppers, onions etc to make it, but I have half a can of no bean chili left over (didn't take that much for the chilli dogs even though I made it for a friend as well.

Anyway while I was putting away the chili and wondering what I would use it on since I don't have any hot dogs left, I thought about how the last little bit tasted (ate if with a spoon) and it's basically spiced ground beef in a yummy sauce.

So why doesn't ANYONE just add that to canned pasta sauce to make a more realistic, fresher tasting, meat sauce?

I almost wish I didn't have to use the ground beef tomorrow so I could try it, but I will just do it later this week I think.

Anyway I did a search on the internet, trying to find anyone with a recipe that called for using jarred/canned tomato sauce + no bean chili for pasta. There are tons of responses for different ways to use the chili and make chili, but I could not find ANYONE that actually used it to add to pasta sauce.

I can't wait to try it, as making my own sauce is a long process, makes a mess etc. If I could just combine a jar + a can and BAM have a yummy meat sauce for my pasta? OMG. The HOURS freak that, DAYS I have wasted not thinking of that before now. I have literally cooked pasta sauce from scratch thousands of times over the years.

Nobody seems to do this, maybe it will suck, maybe there is a reason , but honestly people post horrible ideas all the time that taste disgusting but are still all over the place and tons of college students do it etc.

How is it that college students are not just doing this with microwaves etc? I mean it basically could let you make a really hearty pasta sauce just using a microwave (although a stove top just to brown some onions/bell peppers (and maybe mushrooms if you like them) before adding the sauce chili would prob be better).

Can't wait to try this!!

I saw the original when it released in the theater (Actually it was at a drive in with forbidden planet after it). I was pretty young.

To explain myself,

Empires was the best, so much goodness in that, such a great way to end the movie, Luke became kinda bad ass, but there was no ewoks. The whole twist (back when it aired there was no internet or spoilers) was awesome etc). Best star wars by far in my opinion.

Episode 1 was iconic, no ewoks, not that kid like but had funny moments. No rediculous characters to drag it down. Awesome end to a character and the iconic who shot first etc. Love it. Can still watch it.

Episode VI: Jedi started with so much potential and awesomeness. Luke was badass, this was the luke I wanted to see. Sadly we then transition to endor and go all kidie with ewoks etc. Still rocked, ending was good, but I coulda done without the ewoks and woulda like more badass luke and not whining being beaten and shocked so his daddy has to save him luke. Still great movie.

Rogue one over episode 2 and 3 mainly because no Jar Jar at all lol. It's honestly really freaking close with Episode 3 tbh, which over all really rocked. Episode 2 had Darth Maul as well, which makes it reallly good, but not up to rogue one and 3 (kinda a toss up between 3 and rogue one tbh).

Episode 1 is really above the rest though, since I have actually watched it 3 times all the way through. I couldn't make it thorugh a second watch of any of the sequels (only tried on the first two).

Anyway thats my thoughts.

In my opinion episode 3 was the only non-original star wars (not including the side stories) that didn't totally suck.

If you add in Rogue one as a prequel, that makes it even easier (Actually Solo was still better then the sequels). I would argue even episode II was better than any of the sequels.

Really not a fan of episode 1...so it's hard to judge that against the sequels, but...I did see it more than once and couldn't sit through another watch of any of the sequels, so I STILL think it's better.

In my opinion the order is something like this:

Episode V (empiers), Episode IV, Episode 6, Rogue one, Episode 3 (Sith), Episode II (clone), Solo, Rest suck so much I don't care.

If you do, a princess will give you.......a null.

Sadly I got it in early access years ago and have played it after every patch, so not much new was added to the actual release. The astonomer though (which was new for me) seems super over powered and makes the game kinda cake.

Still love it and it's totally worth getting especially if you have not played it a ton already, but I am really starting to hate early access and won't play games in it anymore cause it kinda ruins them.

Are you confusing The Stand with the Dark Tower books?

Because I wouldn't say I've ever heard anyone say they wish he'd actually died in his hit-and-run accident (between the fourth and fifth books), but I've certainly heard people complain about the fifth book being absolute shit, the sixth book being very uneven, and people who were annoyed by the ending of the seventh book.

I definitely think Wolves of the Calla is the worst book in the series (and possible one of the worst books he's ever written), but I kind of liked Song of Susannah, and the last book is pretty clever in its own way.

Honestly only liked the first book and Wizard and Glass (had randal flag in it!!) of that series, and the movie blew.

First book rocked tho.

M O O N that spells kimbo

My wife never read the book, but she watched the mini-series with me a few times and even after 20 years we would still go M O O N that spells (whatever we were talking about lol).

I sure loved her:)

If you have not seen the original mini-series I highly recommend that as well (After you finish reading the book). He did such a good job translating those characters on-screen, even when I re-read the books now I picture them like the chars from the mini-series.

The remake was trash, and not in the can man good way. Was so dissapointed and I really like the actor who played Flag in it.

Love that book, and it's my flat out FAVORITE mini-series of all time. Love the soundtrack to it (though king had a great ability to choose soundtracks for shows over all).

Favorite King film/adaptation over all, favorite mini-series over all, and one of my favorite King books as well (loved a few others, but it's in the top 5 for sure).

She has no idea what she's missing!

Women are both lucky af and also cursed, and it can vary a ton from person to person. Some have a very hard time getting any pleasure at all let alone climaxing, while others like you mentioned can repeatedly climax and have great pleasure. I'm pretty sure it's the same for guys though I have no experience in that area.

She might just have a low sex drive and not get alot of pleasure from the act, or take a long time to get any and most men don't spend the time/attention to ensure she does. Even toys won't neccesarily help. I knew one woman who literally took an hour to "get off" even with toys etc and she just didn't have much motivation for sex (She also eventually only even tried with other women because guys just couldn't do it for her, or didn't have the patience etc).

She may just not be a very sexual person.

As far as having kids, she could still have one but not give birth to the child or possibly hire a surragate to have the baby for her, but that would require money and effort, and probably a stable relationship where her partner trusts her (kinda hard if she is cheating).

Finally, if she really doesn't enjoy sex much, why the heck did she cheat? I hate cheaters as I think it's a total violation of trust and the opposite of caring for your partner (even putting them at risk for STDs etc), but I understand why most people cheat at least, a strong sex drive, the urge for something new, the risk etc could be a turn on for someone, and if a relationship is getting old/stale i can see people being tempted.

But if you don't even have a high or normal sex drive, why would you cheat on someone you supposedly care about? It just doesn't make sense.

Probably smarter than me, I'm not smart enough to tell.

Just melt the polar icecaps, problem solved.

Yeah, sorry, I didn't mean some kosmic karma.

Just if you treat others badly you will end up being treated badly yourself. In your ex's case she is very lucky you didn't just give up on her and let her deal with her own crappy life.

I meant karma as in, she acted badly to you, and now she has a boyfriend that treats her like crap.

Karma:)

Soon we will all have sex through VR with no real physical contact and insemination will only be done through a doctors visit and you can choose the gender and many physical aspects of the child.

She cheated on you and is a bad person.
Karma exists.
I wouldn't wish suffering on her, but she made her own bed.
Still good on you for helping her.
Sad that you had to go through that though, I hope you find someone who respects you and deserves you in the future.

Based on your description I assume the box is all your getting and it is just a box with a theme like a tank or a castle? Oddly none of my cats have ever really had much interest in boxes, I feel like the internet lied to me.

Yep, it's just themed boxes, like a castle or a space ship or a car etc.

And my cats loved boxes, we would get them toys etc, and instead of playing with them, they would just get in the box instead. i used to put cushions on the bottom of the boxes for them etc.

It's actually a great idea, although i don't know if the cats would appreciate it anymore than normal boxes, it would be cool for the humans, you could even have them be themed based on the holidays around the month. Like halloween box for october, xmas box for december, 4th of july box for...july hehe.

Little comic on reals showed this clip where you get themed boxes for cats every month lol.

That is freaking Genius.

If I still had a cat I would so get that for my cat and it would probably love it more than any toys ever.

They so need to make that.

While I don't have a problem with alcohol (never liked it) I do with soda. I know that may seem silly, but i'm diabetic and have tried for years to stop drinking it all together, but I keep "falling off the wagon" and getting it again/drinking it.

I have tried tons of things as substitutes etc, but part of the problem is I sometimes get depressed and just don't gaf anymore and that is usually when I start drinking soda again, and then it's super hard to stop (especially since I already bought it!!).

A BIG problem is friends/family who are totally unsupportive and do things like say "oh come on, just one order of gelatto won't kill you" or buying and offering me soda when I visit them (Even though I have said I'm trying not to drink soda many times) etc.

I don't know if it's the same for you, but I would try and avoid people who drink alot, or avoid them if they still drink in front/around you or offer you alcohol. For me that is really hard to resist.

If there are other things in life you like besides alcohol, perhaps treat yourself to that (if it's healthier) if you make it all day without it, and then all week, then all month etc. Maybe even have a bigger bonus for each longer length of time (so every day you get a brownie at the end if you didn't drink, at the end of the week you get a massage and at the end of the month you get a video game of your choice (just random things you might like).

It sounds like for you it might be the feeling of being drunk more than the actual alcohol consumption that you miss like, so maybe like others suggested you could try something that might be more healthy to get a similar feeling. Don't know if pot is legal where you are, but that could be an option, but there may be other methods as well (even some people say excersize can replace it, and it's way more healthy).

Anyway best of luck, if you could find a friend to support you and be there for you, someone you can talk to when you get urges etc, that would be great as well. Even with that a support group m ight be a good idea, and it's a place you might find that friend if you don't have one.

Congrats on having parents that love you:)

Damn, you be strong.

When someone drinks soda around me I be like o.o

It's not even basic income since there are requirements that basically make it a new form of welfare/child support for single parents.

That has pretty much existed for the last 50 years in one form or another and still already does, so this is just another form of that.

Now if it basically increased the income of ANYONE who made less than x amount up to X, that would be different, but if t hey did that, how would they keep people from moving there and flooding those areas (Especially homeless people).

You could make a rule that you need to have lived in the area for over x years already (with and address to prove it) but eventually even that wouldn't work.

No, if your gonna do UBI, you gotta do it country wide pretty much and we are nowhere near implementing something like that. Hard enough to get people to do so many of the shitty jobs right now, if you start giving alternatives or even DON'T give them to everyone, the ones having to do those jobs to get less or the same amount as people gettin gUBI are going to revolt. Nobody gonna work at Mc D's for min wage while their neighbors live better and don't work at all.

My account is not me

Oh, I know, but solidarity right? I mean, your account has been with you through your journey and it's not gonna sabotage you.

Bah, money can absolutely buy happiness, it's crazy to think it can't, it can even buy perfect relationships etc.

How?

You don't hire people to please you etc, you hire people to hire people to please them, give them cushy lives, everything they want, and then they pick the best ones and move them up the line to the next level of people you hired to weed those people out, till you only have people left who fit exactly what you want (whatever that is). You put a layer of people between you and everything, before going on a trip you send people ahead, anywhere you go personal chefs travel there a month in advance to source food for you, and then cook it to your specifications etc.

With billions of dollars, forget trillions, you can basically make the world your playground and have anything you want.

I think your account is trying to avoid all alcohol products, so nope.

But maybe bring it to a stripper bar of it's prefered gender?

But if you got a trillion dollars from blowing a guy you could hire the chefs from your favorite restaurants to prepare food for you in your own home so you wouldn't have to drive anywhere to eat.

I mean, yeah, if your dealing with huge amounts then the money is better, but I highly doubt anyone is gonna offer me even 1 mill to blow em (and i'm down if anyone does want to).

I wouldn't blow someone for $100 though, or probably even for $1000, but if someone could cook up a really freaking good pizza and get it to me still hot, I would be down (mind you the closest good pizza to me, and i'm a pizza snob) is over 2 hours away), that would be worth it.

$1k isn't gonna do crap for me. I GUESS I could use it to go on a trip, get uber or a driver to bring me to the area with the good pizza and pay for a hotel for 3 or 4 days and get a bunch of pizza that way, but I already have the money to do that, and I just don't.

The convienence of just getting super yummy good pizza brought to me without any extra hassle etc, would totally be worth it. Maybe 10 mins of sucking/blowing etc and BAM good pizza...that is priceless.

So basically, I need a sign, will blow for good pizza:)

I also wish in the later seasons that Pam would have become a big sister mentor roll to Erin, helping her with reception and stuff. Michael was already supposed to be Erins dad and Phyllis was Erins mom, they should have focused on pam being Erins sister instead of doing everything they could to make pam seem annoying

They didn't totally thrash it, but I do feel like they kinda dropped the ball a bit with Pam/Jim towards the end, and had a few questionable things as well. I kinda liked the whole closer relationship with Dwight. Erin had more potential I think that they didn't really use and yeah, a Pam/Erin friendship would have been really nice.

Still really liked the show over all, and really liked the Pam/Jim story for most of it.

Tbh, while thats fair to say, Im not sure I believe that as a trillion dollars is a lot, even for people that have a lot

That said, I would say that people that have money would just need more money than the common person

Money can't buy everything, and the answer is to just require other things besides money (like good pizza).

I wouldn't enjoy giving oral to either gender, and honestly it's probably less ickish to give oral to a guy as long as then don't finish in your mouth then a woman (to me I mean), but it would never be something I would be roaring to do.

But I'll drive 2+ hours for good food, and I HATE driving, so how bad can giving a BJ be really, compared ot the stress of driving for 4 hours?

Gotta prioratize.

First you can't buy stock at 6:30, second why would a broker even be answering after 5pm, 3rd they have apps for that now, most weed dudes just use the app, 4th were there any hot chicks around, this sounds like him trying to front for some chick.

Go to a cemetary.
Dig up a corpse.
Dress corpse up like a clown.
Put dead clown in a car.
Leave car in parking lot of a grocery store.
Put sign on car stating "If this clown makes you laugh, buy me a turkey!!"
Leave a basket in front of the car for turkey deposits.
Wait
When a turkey is put into basket get turkey and bring it to your home.
Create a summoning circle.
Summon the spirit of Sarah Josepha Buell Hale.
Torture spirit until it will do anything for the pain to stop.
Order spirit to cook the turkey.
Continue to torture spirit to add additional flavor to the turkey.
Dig in (continue torturing spirit for ambience).
