To me, there is nothing worse than a stupid troll. I figure if you are going to create a 'persona', at least make it a consistent.

Yuck! Cold pizza sucks. Why do so many Americans like this? I was raised on nice, hot meals..not junk food.



Maybe you were raised with hot meals, but you sure weren't raised with manners. Someone should biatch slap your mom for failing in her duty.

Thank you for your rude comment. I have a right to my opinions. If I don't like cold pizza, so what??? If I was raised on hot meals, so what? If it is true, it's true. My Mom deserves a medal instead of a slap because she believes in real nutrition, not a life of junk food like some Moms force upon their young ones. I get sick of seeing kids with candy in their mouths all the time. It's pathetic and their teeth are black. You know, I've never had a cavity. Very Happy My opinions have nothing to do with manners. You have no manners for slamming me for my opinions. If I can eat whatever, whenever, that's my business. Manners have zilcho to do with that. That's like me saying someone has no manners because he/she says they can eat lobster for breakfast. Get a life!

Princess, your comment about the cold pizza thing was rude, that's what Ya-ta Boy was calling you on. It's not about the fact that you don't like cold pizza but about how you chose to address the fact that I do. You went on a mini-rant about hot meals and women not be able to cook as though it was somehow related to me liking cold pizza. Your assumption was off-base and insulting.

Sure. And the opposite. I invite people to come to my place in the country. Bring a friend if you want. I have a big two bedroom place with plenty of bedding and I like entertaining guests on the weekends. I did it a lot when I was on Geoje Island. Then you could see how to make some dishes, enjoy them and see the sights hereabouts. It's nice to chat with other native speakers, here in a town with only three of us!

... as for my home sweet home cooking recently...

Turns out I can go home for the holidays after all. I just mentioned to a co-worker how much I missed home and how my father said to me that he wanted me to just pack up and move back home for the entire winter if I can't even visit for the holidays, and I guess that got through the pipeline and suddenly I have a week off and airfare booked by the director. I didn't intend my words to sound like a threat, but if taken out of context (like how I presented it above, and how it might have been condensed I wonder) it sure sounds like it. I had also told the coworker that I'd said to my dad that my job is my first priority, that my contract ends in early spring and that I would go see him then, that I would "get over" not being able to go home now. It was just a feeling of missing home at this time of year that is natural for many of us waygook.

I tried the cold pizza thing here but it just wasn't the same. Confused

Wednesday night and studying for exams, great time for pizza. Thursday morning and slept later than planned, great time for cold pizza on the way out the door.
