What's the consensous on shepherds pie in here?

Never had it.

I'm a pretty big shepherd's rights activist and it's appalling to me that people eat them.

Not enough nudity.

Been snowed under a couple of days and have neglected some replies

Decided to hang onto the Flex and sell wife's maybe sell wife's Sonata and get a hybrid Fusion or Passat GTI, if anyone has feedback on those. Both get great mileage and I love the looks of the new Fusions. Don't know squat about the Passat other than its German and get about 35 mpg overall.

Binky arrives Sunday, Very excited to have him here and to try and help his son's ADHD with our neurofeedback (nfb) therapy. Our work has focused on adults thus far, but his boy is 17, so I think we'll do well with him and we want to start working with younger clients, especially for ADHD, since the success rate has been so high. The recent trip to LA and the one coming July 10th have been part of our training and certification process in nfb. Pretty excited about it and having lots of great results thus far. Its usually done once or twice a week for 20-40 sessions, I really like the idea of an intensive, condensed program like Binky's going to do. The results are usually much better in that format, but its rare that the practitioner and client can free up the time to do it. Having built-in lodging may make that a decent thing to try and promote and perhaps not have to sell ALbert Oaks.

Colin - Bentley - Kevzilla - we definitely need to get together while Binky is here. Maybe if we did it on a weekend we could get a couple of other out of city Texans to join us. We are going to do 60 session in the next two weeks, but we have lots of flexibility and we definitely want to show them a good time.

Wouldn't it be cool if Studs popped into the GMTAN for a visit?

If anyone knows how to get in touch with him, say a recent visitor from FFA past, it'd be great.

Not the same. Sandwiches, soups, stews, etc. are fine. But mashed potatoes, meat, and corn should not be combined.

Anyone updating the food section of their notebook: I eat one thing at a time on my plate and save the best thing for last. So a steak dinner would look like this:

Salad first

Asparagus next.

Baked potato

Filet last.

There is no better place to praise the lard than at Salumi, Seattle’s own temple of pork, where the Batali family prepares overstuffed sandwiches for the patrons snaking out the door of their charcuterie/restaurant. The Porchetta is a behemoth crammed full of juicy chunks of pork shoulder with braised carrots, fennel, celery, onions and an herby, garlicky spread—a veritable ode to this most delicious of beasts. (Piggy heaven is yours for about $9.)

I bought a '13 Fusion Hybrid last year, as I drive 75+ miles per day, and to me it was the easy choice among hybrid options. When I first got it, I was probably in the 40-42 mpg range. They upgraded the software late last year to increase the MPH at which the switch to gas engine would occur. Now I'm in the 44 range consistently, occasionally hitting 46-48. You're not likely to regularly hit the 47 they pimp. So if you look used, make sure that software upgrade has occurred. You'll know when you drive it, as it'll switch to gas at 68/69 every time, no matter what, if it's the old software. With the new, you can occasionally engage the electric in the mid to high 70s if you're not going uphill.

Regardless, I'm very happy with the decision. My biggest complaint is that you KNOW you're driving a 4 cylinder at times. If you can live with the lack of pickup and slightly less trunk space b/c of the hybrid battery, I'd recommend it.

GDAMIT!!! Just had a molar break. Awesome. Now I get to go to the dentist. Yay! Getting older is awesome.

the ####? how does this happen? #terrified

This happened to me while I was eating a banana. A BANANA.

And my dad was a dentist... but had just passed away. The broken molar (which was an easy fix in my case, btw), turned into all kinds of more than a broken molar for me.

Yeah I had molar that was "resorpting" itself (basically eating itself from the inside out). Oral surgeon said that they don't really know why it happens, but think one of the causes is some type of trauma to the tooth (thanks, son).

thanks, guys. i'm never eating again.

fwiw- the dentist thought it happened under an old filling. I have very groovy teeth, which is where the cavity happened. He thinks it weakened the tooth along the groovy fault line.

Or I'm just making #### up. A terrible memory makes me do that a lot.

But it definitely was a banana. In the tailpipe.
