No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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.

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

"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.

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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Publix and Kroger both sell pizza dough here. The best pre-made pie crust is the kind that's already rolled out and sold in the dairy case. There was an era in which putting a filling between two pieces crescent-roll dough to make a triangular hand pie was a thing.

I think my supermarket sells, like, bake-your-own pizza kits with raw dough and sauce and toppings. Over by the deli. Fold the dough over and it's calzone, right?

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

Maybe. I'll have to pay attention next time I run it.

Watching Enemy of the Reich: the Noor Inayat Khan Story on pbs. Heard an interview with the makers the other day. Same day as a piece on the guy who draws Disney heroines based on historical heroines...
