What your looking for is coming. It's a pivotal scene. I find Westworld really hard to follow, but it's quality TV, even if you don't understand what is really going on. First episode of season two continues with the ambiguity.

Certainly doesn't help when federal workers aren' getting paid properly. Kind of a big thing in Ottawa.

I love popeye's .My best related Popeye's story. Go into a popeyes in mlps, order a combo with all white meat. Black cook in the back yells out, "What, you dont like dark meat?" And jokingly stares at me and then at black cashier, and back to me.

The Star Wars Thread
Saw it this afternoon. Certainly did not disappoint. Was a little worried that it would not live up to the hype, but found it much better than TFA or Rogue One. Lots of screen time with some of the original characters mixed in with the new. Also lots of plots details to discuss . Given the title I don' need to use hidden text, do I?

Season 3 is set up pretty well, too. They've got some options on how to progress the story.

I binge watched Stranger Things season 2 this weekend, and really liked it. Was worried about a season 2 let down, but it still felt new and familiar at the same time. The kids on that show really carry it- really good actors.

The buses were running really smooth too. We were on the Downs bus and on Pembina and moving within a couple of minutes.

The BEER thread
Flatlanders is actually next weekend. It had become a little corporate driven over the last few years, but hopefully all the new micros in MB and Canada, along with what people now want, will help to change that. The MLCC was slow to recognize local and micros for the longest time, and that got reflected in what was offered. Got introduced to Innis and Gunn there though, which is my top of the list beer.

I'd start with sample packs, There's a "social pack" out right now that's bottles from MB breweries, including a pink lemonade beer (ugh) from Farmery. There's also that sample pack that I mentioned earlier in the thread. Another good thing to do is go to the breweries and tap rooms. You can get a flight of 4 sample sized beers, to see what you like. You can also chat with the brewers, as there is a wealth of information on the types of beers out there.

I know what you mean about a good tap room making beer seem to taste better. A group of friends head to a beer convention in Minneapolis each year. Convention is on Saturday, but we leave on Tuesday, and hit as many tap rooms and breweries on the way as we can. Our record is 20 in one trip, one DD each day thank goodness! Sisyphus in MLPS and Titletown in Green Bay are among my top places.

If any beer fans are interested. Last year's event was a great way to chat with some of the brewers and sample a wide variety of their products. Should be well represented by some of the new breweries soon to open, as well as newly opened. https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/meet-your-local-brewers-20-tickets-34473371783 Have to agree with a lot that's been said already. LoW is all over the place with their quality, PEG doesn't seem to be concentrating on beer, I can't get into Barnhammer, and Torque is my personal favorite drinking beer taproom (Matt knows what he is doing). As the old group on the block, I love half Pints as well.

The Health Thread
Maybe it's not necessarily low carb, but realizing how many carbs we were eating to get to where we were, ie the actual portion size for pasta. I'm never gonna be able to kick carbs, so low carb isnt realistic, but i know for me, I was consuming way too many carbs, throwing off that pyramid. I'm with tacklewasher on this one. For some of us, it just needs to be simple, and tuning out the noise that is all the fads, newest theories, etc. It's realistic and attainable. A little bit of help and guidance from something like myfitnesspal goes a long way.
