Never thought about doing that, sounds like fun. I'm going to have to see if there's any limit to what they'll do.

At the CiCi's here, if they don't have what you want on the buffet, you can put in a request. It doesn't cost extra. I'll usually ask for something that's not on the buffet so I get a freshly made pizza.


...


I once asked for a deep dish supreme.





CiCi's is inferior, even if they make it to order. And they put wierd friggin combinations on the bar, (probably requested by people like you, out of cruelty to everyone else :P, like spinach and pepperoni, saugage and pineapple, yogurt and mountain dew.


It's just wrong!!!


...


Dude, cracker crust. Don't fill up on the breading.
LOL! Yogurt and mountain dew?! Ha ha! Sounds like Hazmat's idea of a culinary feast. Too bad his profile says he's on duty 'til Thursday. Woulda been a good burn (no pun intended). LOL!

Besides, food at a pizza buffet is just as good.


I prefer Chinese buffets over pizza buffets ... and don't go to CiCi's, do go early ... the pizzas tend to sit too long.


We have a great Chinese buffet here called Happy Buffet. Sushi ... and a chocolate fountain. How friggin cool is that!
Plus it's called the Happy Buffett... Awesome.

Oriah, our responses due pertain to her question and other responses she made herself.The simple fact is, no obese person is confident, has high self esteem and alot of energy.Saying that is a coping mechanism called denial.You were rude in telling us to go to a thread on manners. I simply want to make overweight people "see the light" not sugar coat their obesity.
So are you suggesting that confidence and self esteem are based solely on body type?

I don't think that's what pisces was saying, but there was clearly some rudeness that should have been cleaned up a bit:-).

Interesting perspective, or rather, stereotype. There are just as many varieties in personality among overweight people as there are varieties in personality among thin people. I've been on the heavy side all my life to one degree or another, but I most certainly do not have an issue with self-esteem, confidence, or energy/enthusiasm. In fact, when my ex-fiance introduced me to one of his sisters, she said to him, "She's so confident! She just exudes confidence." It was the nicest compliment she could have paid me. Additionally, I condsider myself to be attractive, intelligent, witty, and personable, and I carry myself and present myself accordingly.


Your compulsion to make overweight people "see the light" (or rather, think like you do) speaks to a far deeper character flaw than weight.


I'd rather be overweight than stupid. I may be overweight, but I can diet. Stupid, on the other hand, is forever.

I'm not sure this will help Amber's personal dilemma but it's one more perspective on the whole attraction/weight issue. I'm not overweight but I want to be a lot healthier than I am. I'm definitely looking for someone who's interested in pursuing a healthy lifestyle. On that note, I don't particularly care about the current state ofmy partner's body shape.


I understand that certain physical qualities are more attractive than others. But doesn't that eventually fade in favor of the compatibility of lifestyles/choices?
