For real. I cannot tell you how lucky I am that my wife is a prof at a school with an Adobe deal. Not to brag, but I get the whole package for $10/year. Legally.
Could you please adopt me so I can share your family rate? I'll edit photos for you in return?
I can't eat meat because one of my new meds makes it taste rancid and if I do manage to be able to eat some, I get really ill afterwards. Not cute.
My parents invited me to join them for supper tonight and my mother asked what I liked on my pizza. I reminded her about no meat, which she already knew and told her what I liked. She got whiny about it and said well, what if we want pepperoni? I suggested that she order me a small garlic fingers and that I could eat that. She said no. I said well, I guess that I can either pick off the pepperoni or go without. She got even whinier about how it would look to my uncle if I didn't eat.
I get there and they've ordered two extra large pizzas with not a vegetable between them

That seems like the moment when you leave.I get there and they've ordered two extra large pizzas with not a vegetable between them
Well, gee, lady; how would it look to her uncle that her own mother couldn't be arsed to even order half a pie without meat??I can't eat meat because one of my new meds makes it taste rancid and if I do manage to be able to eat some, I get really ill afterwards. Not cute.

I have a few more choice words right now but it's your family and not mine, so Kermit sipping tea and all that.
or god forbid a small/medium veggie pizza. its not really that much money for gods sake.
What can I say, @Gruebeard? Back to back vacations in NYC spoiled me. 
I was dropped off because pain meds and driving aren't a good combination, so I was kind of stuck there. I don't understand why someone would ask what you like on your pizza and then ignore you? Or completely ignore a dietary restriction? The weird thing is that when I'm with my parents at their place and they order pizza, they usually order deluxe pizzas with mushrooms, peppers, onions and olives so I don't know what was up with the all meat pizzas tonight unless my uncle really loves that kind or they were screwing with me?
I go out of my way to make sure food allergies, and even preferences, are accommodated for my guests, so I was annoyed. My uncle looked over at my plate and the mountain of sausage and ground god-knows-what piled on it and was a bit puzzled, so I explained why I picking everything off it. I felt I had to explain it, because I was embarrassed to be sitting there like a two year old picking off pretty much all the toppings. I can eat some bacon and not have it bother me so I didn't pick off all the meat. Based on how things have gone later this evening, it wasn't bacon
I feel even more embarrassed re-reading what I've just typed out. It's a foolish situation all around and not even the most immature behavior that my mother exhibited tonight. I know it's a free country and all, but just because we have free speech doesn't mean that you are required to always share every little opinion that enters your head. Especially when you know your daughter is on several really scary medications and is unhappy with how weird her hair is acting. Pointing out that you hate it, find my new hair colour ugly (one of my new medications makes my hair weird and its not taking colour properly) and prefer my natural hair colour is not only rude, but pretty hurtful. Trust me when I say that she would flip her shit if I told her that she had bad hair.
Sorry @blotsfan you got a lot more a reply there than you were expecting, am I right?[DOUBLEPOST=1496989054,1496988854][/DOUBLEPOST]
For what it's worth, I think he felt bad when he realized why I was taking all the meat off my pizza.
If you're ever south of the border, you can be adopted by the Z Clan. We'll get whatever pizza you can eat and lots of diet Coke. We have a close friend how comes to a lot of holiday dinners and even though she can't eat gluten, the whole family either adjusts their recipes or makes sure she has plenty to eat. Extra pizza is easy!I was dropped off because pain meds and driving aren't a good combination, so I was kind of stuck there.

Your Hobo can camp in our woods if he feels more comfortable.

Man, all I can tell you having been around ex-pats my whole career is that no matter how much they may complain about US this and that, the one thing they all agree on is that American pizza is the best thing we make. It doesn't even matter if it's cheap pizza. Even the italians come out for it. They complain that it's not as good, of course, but that doesn't stop them from loading up 3 slices.What can I say, @Gruebeard? Back to back vacations in NYC spoiled me.
The truly discouraging part is that they're a hell of a lot better than my other family options.
She called today and was grilling me on my health plan coverage. As if that may be why I didn't order my daughter's new glasses yet. I haven't ordered them yet because I'm sick and tired and have trouble getting around and my daughter doesn't wear the glasses I bought her last year, so I'm not exactly putting a huge priority on it.
Which looks terrible so I should clarify that my daughter doesn't need to wear them all the time. Just for reading and she reads here at the house just fine without them so I'm somewhat dubious on how badly she actually needs them or if the eye doctor is up-selling. I've tried to explain this to my mother but it's a no go.
I have vision issues of my own that have been caused by years of eye inflammation and she still pushes glasses on me.[DOUBLEPOST=1497027111,1497026853][/DOUBLEPOST]Sorry guys. I'm sounding pretty bitchy here today.
Not at all. This is a good thread for venting.
We get it for 20 a month! AAGGHH!

Clothes shopping is gong show sometimes. I feel your pain. I wish I could wear leggings and cute pink hoodies to work. Those are about the only thing I can shop for easily.

I'd be happy to collect some extras for you!
Pud and Cupcake make some fantastically large ones.
I realize that this is a super weird thing to offer, but it's being offered in a helpful way. We even live near the airport and it could picked up on the way!
