Does he have any filled cavities? If yes, I will guess it is not amalgam, which is a composite of silver and mercury. I have chewed aluminum, which I have a sense may be reacting to the other metal in my mouth. The thought of chewing aluminum gives me shivers.

Regards,

Oh, Cathy, I'm with you! :::::Shiver::::::

Enjoyed reading about your lamb cake in the 'times...very nice piece

This article reminded me of this thread.

Teens Take Advantage of Denny's All-You-Can-Eat Pancakes for 24 Hours

So...out of curiosity, when does the mad feeding frenzy begin? Mine is nine months old and doesn't much care for food yet. With a little advance warning I can stock up.

You've likely got almost a decade before they get over their intrinsic food aversion and start branching out. I'd say at least five years before there's a chance they start cleaning their plates. At least, that's been my experience with my skinny girls. Boys are a different animal, so to speak.

If my son and his friends are any indication, boys go in spurts. They will survive on air alone for lengths of time, then suddenly get a look in their eye that causes you to fear for your domestic pets. This could start any day now.

Well, if I can look to his father for an idea of what to expect, I think I'd better start buying those gallon tubs of peanut butter from Costco. One apiece.

Visiting Denver last weekend, I went to lunch with Boy. As we were leaving the sandwich shop, I gave Boy my bag of chips to finish. He was eating the chips as we walked to the car, and I noticed he had placed a small, foil-wrapped chocolate on his head. I asked why and Boy explained that he needed to free up his hands so he could eat the chips.

I'm reminded of my own Boy Eats World experience during my freshman year at the University of South Carolina.

One of my compadres had discovered an all you can eat barbeque place run by a former army sargeant not too far from campus that charge a (even then) ridiculous price of $5 for all of the ribs, chicken, pulled pork and sides that one could suck down in a sitting.

Six of us loaded up in my Ford Pinto, yes, the kind with the exploding gas tank, and headed for the impending doom of this hopeful entrepreneurs new venture. After about two hours in, the Sarge walked over to our table announced that it looked as though a truck full of pigs had hit another truck full of chickens head on and and left a horrific road kill scene behind. Thereafter, he less than gently invited us to get the hell out of his restaurant and never return.

Being agreeable students, we complied. The Sarge's place only lasted about six months more.

The lesson: If you open an all you can eat buffet near a campus, price it so that students will stay away..

Was this photo taken before or after you called Boy a World Class Ass?
