Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Not to be a one-upper!

That was some pretty hard-core one-upping. Well successed.

We do have a Trader Joe's, but that's up in Salt Lake, 30-40 miles away. Maybe I'll see what Pillsbury's can do for me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know about ready-made dough. I don't even know what's available.

"This process will never success if you leave that column blank", for example. She was training new hires and they didn't seem bothered so I though it might be business-speak of some kind.

What you need is a Local Lo-cal Calzone Zone. But Pillsbury seems like a fine substitute.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Fear me, I am attempting spray painting furniture. This is what happens when I find a cute-but-slightly-battered jewelry armoire for $13, and have binge-read a bunch of home decor blogs.

Me too! Well, that last thing, and now I'm obsessed with chalk paint, and want to thrift things so I can paint them.

Does the process give a "Success" alert when it's done? That would almost make sense.

I'm such a champ at spray painting railings, I'm doing the door next. Tip: save your index finger, buy a trigger attachment. They're cheap and your finger will still work the next day.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Connie, I would call the local pizza shops and see if they'll sell you a pound of dough. Most of the Italian bakeries in RI sell pizza dough, but I know that is not the case everywhere.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Lots of them will IME.

MY cube-neighbor keeps using success as a verb and it is driving me nuts. Is that a common usage now?

Wait, what? I mean, WHAT?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think my regular supermarket sells raw dough, in addition to the Pillsbury. It's all by the biscuit dough, etc.
