Yes I have. Several times. ;-) Nikon Coolpix L19.

You can get MUCH more detailed pics using a higher MP setting, then I
shrink them using photoshop using the size rather than pixel choice. I

Ugh.
That's why we bought a gas grill for steaks. When we used the
broiler, no matter how high we set the exhaust fan, the house
would fill with smoke.

I wouldn't say freaks, but I think most people who cook have
favorite tools in many categories.
Just ask people to recommend their favorite potato peeler
or can opener if you want to start WWIII.
My favorite spatula is [link]
This one is from Sur la Table and I love it.
I also love what used to be called a Japanese cookie

Sure, lots of occupations have continuing education requirements and
typically those folks don't have a 3 month vacation. I know there were
numerous times at one job where I had to retake courses simply because
my work schedule trumped everything.

Re: H1N1 shot tonight

I haven't shopped around for the flu shot like last year.
Bothers me that they can't combine the H1N1 in with the seasonal flu shot.
Last year I paid close attention to the brand of flu shot. I took a Fluarix
stab.
Haven't made up my mind this year.
