    Old, lapsed newbie from Connecticut (by way of Tennessee, Florida, and New York state)

    Hi there. I have actually been on the forum for a number of years, but bristled at having to say much about myself (which is quite unusual. No one has ever called me shy! Or reticent!) so after several reminders to introduce myself, I dropped off. Then came the "Big Event" April 22 2012, I had a...

    Total Loss

    My sincere condolences. I went through it last Thursday, and we're not taking chances. (reminds me, tomorrow's garbage day. Even throwing out the cheese) I've gone to work after oral surgery. Last Thursday I had to call in sick, knowing I was leaving 'em in the lurch. I tried six ways from...

    lets not forget

    Seems like it might be better to refit the SS. United States, sitting in Philadelphia Harbor. Fastest Passenger ship ever, made to be converted to hold 15000 troops within 3 days, although outfitted as a luxury loner. As close to unsinkable, unburnable as possible. She looks bad from the...

    Ham? Anyone?

    I'll bet if you can find a decent butcher in your neck of the woods (where on the East coast of Florida are you- I grew up in Ormond Beach) you can ask in advance and he'll get you one. You might have to leave some cash with him. Another way might be to find out who they get their primals and...

    Should I toss them??

    So has anyone got any similar advice for a dried out shoulder? I can salvage some of it. And I can tell that the finishing sauce (Jeff's) will help a lot, but I had one end that stubbornly would not get up to temp. Unfortunately, I shoulda realized the other end was doner, 'n done, I cold pulled...

    "Remember Me" this video will move you

    I wasn't gonna watch this. I knew it was going to be one of those gut-grabbing emotional tear- jerkers. But I kept rolling by it, day after day. I finally watched it. It was everything I said and then some. What better time to watch it than the day after independent day. I am sure my views...
