He looks like the flock that visits my neighbors’ silk-floss tree in the mornings!

That’s what a AAA TripTik was for.

It’s definitely an achievement but like all millionaires there’s some “cheating” going on: a lot of those words are repeats! Open any book at random and count how many "the"s there are on the two pages!

;-)

(By the way, if you have a pre-reading toddler, reading a storybook aloud with your finger under the words and stopping to let them read all the "the"s is an empowering way to start.)

President for 4 years, shadow president for another 4 years, where’s the plan?

You crave world domination, you don’t even have a Mini-Me yet!

It’s mostly delighted or pleased, although it can occasionally mean the opposite, especially in the military. I believe it started off as “proud.” This bunny is delighted and proud of his new rug.

I’m amazed he knows how to use a litterbox and not just poop everywhere. That’s probably how he earned his nice rug!

Could be because c followed by e is usually pronounced “s” rather than “k”

Even homemade whole-grain bread, while delicious and healthy in its way, has too many non-fiber carbs when you’re trying to minimize them. And my body is unfortunately very efficient at converting the starches to blood sugar. As for bakery whole-grain bread, (and of course the supermarket kind) the ingredients almost inevitably include “wheat flour” which is white flour, not necessarily bleached but minus the bran. This is because bread that is not only “made with 100% whole wheat” (which just means it contains SOME 100%-whole-wheat flour!) but is made with ONLY whole wheat flour (plus any other whole grains) doesn’t rise very well. I’ve struggled with it myself and made some bricks, despite being able to bake gorgeous loaves when allowed to include some unbleached bread flour in the mix. Go ahead, ask your baker. And then enjoy the bread, it’s still great for most people.

You’re right, lettuce wraps are good and it’s been awhile. Next time I look at that dwarf bread I’ll get out a romaine leaf instead.

This looks like a nice recipe for later on once I lose enough weight to start adding a few carbs to my life that aren’t from vegetables. No grain or starch right now.

Even a wrap is too much white flour right now. I bought some Low Carb High Fiber Whole Wheat tortilla wraps, but they’re serving the same role as Discworld Dwarf Bread: I look at them and remember the time I tried to eat one, and decide I’m not that hungry after all. I don’t even have to worry about them going stale, because they can’t become less appealing.

I agree sandwiches are the best. But my metabolism is just too efficient at turning carbs into fat and high blood sugar. There’s just no substitute for good bread in a sandwich, all attempts at compromise/substitutions ruin the whole thing.

I’d eat that

Apparently you’ve been eating substandard pizza, because really good pizza crust is a delight unto itself.

However if you insist you only like the toppings, you have 2 choices:

1. Find a life partner who loves crust.

2. Just bake the toppings in/on a sheet pan and eat them directly from it, without crust.

Well I certainly hope you are right and it does make a difference. Without a robust mechanism for enforcement it will be worse than useless. Which was the point of their joke, and which you did not address.

So you’re saying they got the joke, they’re just disagreeing with the sarcastic remark. Maybe. I have reread it and it still doesn’t sound funny to me, was it meant to? If not, does whoosh apply?

And more importantly, why am I trapped in this woodshed?

Whoosh

Would you prefer

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”…?

This is the way

Or put it at the opposite corner!(Usually lower right/top left, but different brands locate their tags in different places.) Unless it’s a directional floral, it will look the same and you’ll get more even wear. Always start with the corner that’s hardest to get at, and tuck it far under, so as you pull towards the others it will stay tucked.

“Accidentally”

You’re a monster.

You know you could have given them a little taste without harm, even though it has more salt than their food.
