I'd definitely email Lodge. It has a limited, lifetime warranty. My eight year old Lodge developed a chip. I did provide a receipt, but other than that, all they asked for was a couple of pictures of the chip and a personal assurance that I had not misused it (they have a list for you to check off. They sent me a brand new Dutch Oven without further delay. Worth a shot. Their customer service is top notch. I've got a small chip on the outside of the replacement. But that's on me because I didn't get the pot holder in the right spot on the lid and burned myself while dropping it from a height of about 3.5 feet. Amazing it didn't get damaged worse than that. I've learned to live with it.

Brand of Dutch oven? As long as you didn't do anything that obviously caused the problem (like drop it), you probably can get it replaced under warranty.

Hard boiled, but not overdone (yolk is soft and yellow). /edit: just reread the post I responded to. Sorry for the confusion.

And that's fair and probably not the first time someone has considered that possibility. But now all I can think of is sister in 16 Candles.

When my wife went through breast cancer, I will never forget when the surgeon came out and told me the lymph nodes were clear. I had been pretty rock steady throughout neoadjuvant chemotherapy and all that entails as a supportive spouse, but when I got that news, I felt like I needed to be mopped off the floor. Because that really is the big question. Just a bit of advice, as part of the reconstruction process, she'll have drains. They tell you in the hospital to keep them clean, etc. But in the US, at least 10 years ago, they tend to leave the drains in for a while (and you get sent home with them). What they should tell you is you need to keep a sterile field around those things at all times. Reconstruction was a lengthy process with multiple infections, but we eventually got it done. Working in your favor is that she didn't opt for immediate reconstruction, i.e., spacers immediately following the mastectomy, and she hadn't undergone chemo prior to surgery, which means her immune system is in much better shape than my wife's was. But don't sleep on those drains. You cannot have enough rubbing alcohol in residence based on our experience. Stock up. And all the best to you guys.

My wife is a redhead, and she goes under easily enough, but coming out of it is a long process.

My method always has been to put the egg in cold water, bring it to a boil, turn off the heat, cover, and let it sit for 15 minutes. Put it in ice water for a minute or so and peel under running water. Just the way I learned.

I was responding to a Reddit post about Diana and why Don decides to try to find her, and ended up finally putting some thoughts down about the last few episodes. I could be completely off base, but I've been meaning to write it down for a while. This is an extension of my previous post about how the last couple of episodes lay out Don's relationship to various women on the show, how his relationship with them and their resulting perception of him unfolds as some sort of quest to discover his identity ("Who is Don Draper?"), and how it plays into the last two scenes of the finale: The last few episodes have a few vignettes in which we see several of Don's relationships with women wherein he seeks a connection (he wants to feel needed) and is rebuffed. It happens with Diana's estranged husband---Diana* in absentia), Sally, Betty, and Stephanie (lover, father, former ex-husband, and whatever (Stephanie doesn't know either). It probably happened earlier with Megan (Don as financial provider). Finally, he gets to Peggy. He's hit an emotional rock-bottom. But she doesn't rebuff him. He lays himself bare to her and she tells him it isn't true (even though we know it is), he is needed ,and that he should "come home." Anyway, Peggy's acceptance** of Don seems to give him a sense of ultimate identity (his professional identity), and that leads into the group session where Leonard talks about being the item in the refrigerator which just wants to be chosen. Leonard describes himself as a commodity and this allows Don to connect with him---he's an ad man after all--- at which point, Don is able to experience empathy toward Leonard, which experience forms the seed of the Coke Commercial with people as the product who just want to be needed. *Diana is a stand-in for all of the lovers to some degree. But she resembled Rachel and Don first encounters her after he finds out Rachel died, which was the initial attraction, and her husband says something to Don about her that is an indictment of Don's character (I can't recall precisely). But whatever he says, fits the string of Don's being rebuffed by the women in his life. **"What do women want? A chance to get closer." Peggy has managed to get closer to Don than just about anyone on the show (save for Anna) and, obviously, she doesn't know everything about his failings in his personal life, she, as a reflection of him throughout the show, is close enough to him to answer the Who is Don Draper? question.

I've avoided this thread because I knew I'd be late watching the show. E1 was some shit. The title sequence to E2, for someone who's read the book several times, is a masterpiece

What a tremendous talent. RIP From our trip to D.C. a few years ago.

Yet there was something about having that dirty hippie lay his hands on my food that made it taste just a little better. They probably talked about the guy who ordered the clam chowder for weeks.
