  • Allisun85 Baaahahaha!  I ate a whole sleeve of Thin Mints as my dessert last night.  I probably could have eaten the entire box if it was available lol.

  • We don't have any ranch for me to dip my pizza in. 
  • I got excited this morning because I got my cost basis info for some stock I sold in 2015 and realized that I took a loss, so that'll help alleviate some of the insane taxes we owe this year.  Getting excited over losing money....seriously?!?

  • @lynnlove28 I do that too! Apparently this is weird to New Yorkers (who are VERY SERIOUS about their pizza). I blame Texas.



  • I ate all of my breakfast and snacks already that I brought to work with me. Now I have to wait until lunch break to get anything else.
  • My roomba keeps missing the same spot on the floor, and I just stare at the roomba, waiting for it to clean it. Haha

  • I didn't bring Tums to work today and I need them BADLY! Now I have to drive to the pharmacy that is impossible to get in and out of. Stupid traffic and stupid heartburn
  • Doing my 3 hour glucose test today. The drink is so gross, and it's way worse than the 1 hour version!  Also the medical assistant told me it has about as much sugar as a liter of coke. I never drink soda and this really grosses me out. Blech!! But it is a FWP to complain about receiving medical care so I'll suck it up.
  • Ugh hang in there @snaps816 the three hour was PAINFUL last pregnancy I think I was sick the whole rest of the day. 
  • They are having mexican food at work today. I want pizza.
  • I'm sorry....ranch on pizza?????  No, just no.  It's not chicken wings!!!!!  However, this does make me want to go get a slice of pizza for lunch!  I've been in FL and there's no such thing as good pizza there.

    I ate the pizza anyway and now I can't decide whether or not I like it better with or without ranch. This may be a life changer. On a side note: now I want Buffalo Wild Wings. 
  • @Katienu LOL mine is coming tomorrow, too, and I swear sometimes I want to cancel her because I'm too lazy to clean up my crap!

  • I love ranch on pizza!!!
  • Ranch on pizza sounds wrong but it's so good! Don't knock it till you try it. 
  • I seem to always have technical problems with this community board.  75% of the time I go to comment or 'love it' the website tells me I don't have permission to do that! Or that I'm not logged in - all while displaying my name,  username,  and due date. Sometime it tells me there are new comments on a thread,  sometimes it doesn't. Anybody else on here have an unusual amount of technical (first world) problems?
  • @Nikkoli98 I have been having issues for the past 2 days. I always set my options to original post date so the new discussions are on the top and now it won't let me do that.
  • I'm from NY and thought ranch on pizza was an absolute travesty until my SIL made me try it and I realized it's actually delicious! I still don't have it everytime I eat pizza but it's a nice change sometimes. 



  • I have a bunch of family from TX who seriously put ranch on everything, even buffalo wings....WHAT?!?  No, that's what blue cheese is for!  They come here and claim that we don't know what it is or even have ranch...ummmm, yes we do, we just don't put it on every.freaking.thing. LOL  I've tried it on pizza, but it's just not right....maybe on like Pizza Hut or some other chain-type pizza to mask the taste, but not real pizzeria pizza!  Also, late time they were here we went to a diner and my cousin's wife asked for Dr. Pepper.  I think the waitress and I both had the same "wtf" look on our faces lol.

  • @SkiChic626 my dh absolutely loves Dr. Pepper!
  • @SkiChic626 Ranch on wings is necessary. Blue Cheese is gross!!!  Ranch on everything else, not so much.  And Dr. Pepper is delicious.  I just drank a large from McDonald's for breakfast... We literally have it at every restaurant in TX.  
  • I literally had no idea people didn't eat ranch on everything and that Dr. Pepper wasn't a common soda .. My mind is blown 
  • @texasmama2014 LOL  Dr. Pepper is good, I enjoy it once in a while, but def not a staple in soda taps at restaurants.  And when you get buffalo wings, you HAVE to use blue cheese to cut the heat, that's also what you dip the carrots and celery in that they come with.  I do ranch on other types of wings, though, mostly BBQ.

    It's so interesting how small things like this are so different throughout 'merica.  I wonder if they have similar differences in different regions in other countries.  Also, how do you pronounce the work SYRUP.  Here, we say SEER-UP, but my BIL from California says SUR-UP.  NO!!!  lol

  • My BIL is from PA and I live in NC. He always tells me I add extra unnecessary vowels to all my words and make them longer than normal. 

    Example: normal word them. How he claims I pronounce it: theam. If that makes sense. 
  • @SkiChic626 in Michigan we say Sur-up.
  • @SkiChic626 - where do you live? Ranch and Dr. Pepper seem to be staples to many of my friends diets here in WI. :)

  • I know its Thursday and I am late to the party, but my FWW is that it snowed here today and I have a lot of very cute and not to mention pajama-like comfortable maxi dresses to wear and I cried when I looked outside and saw snow again.
  • I'm team Northeast - pizza should be eaten on its own, not dipped in ranch. Though I do like each with my buffalo chicken (though I usually do blue cheese crumble and then ranch dressing). And I say see-rup 
  • So... I think this counts. Was in the shower and dropped my bottle of body wash, hit the floor and cracked! I've never had that happen to a plastic bottle in the shower before. It was half full, so this is what I came up with. Nothing a little duct tape couldn't fix (I hope). :)
