Many's the time I've enjoyed a walk down roads like this - and the tragedy today is that it wasn't scary back then either.Morning.....
you forgot to mention that I was doing engine swaps in the Smartcars...
( which BTW was very successful
)
whaaaaa??? if one has a peanut allergy, the Reeses trademarks should have been as clear as a Skull and crossbones symbol
trash bags.... something we really dont think about to much, they have a purpose... to line the bin to keep it "clean" and to make removal of the debris easier...
but, if you really think about it... its something we actually spend money on just to throw away...

and another thing.... why dont they just go ahead and put an "even" number of bags in a box?? You get 24, 36, 42, 48...
just make it 25 or 50...
and what is the first thing you put into the last garbage bag from the roll????
the box the bags came in

The parent should be charged for negligence for giving her kid that! Stupid people....

Nope, not in our house. The box goes in the recycling bin.
I thought the girl was at the house of a friend when she ate the cookie(s). I think she was around 12 years old. It is very sad to lose a child like that. Some people have peanut allergies so bad that they don't even have to eat it, to have a severe reaction. My first year in school, I developed a peanut allergy. Luckily over time it went away. You may eat peanuts your whole life, and then one day your body decides that stuff is bad, and you have a severe reaction. The immune system is tricky. It seems like there are more autoimmune illnesses than there used to be as well. The two I believe are connected.

Oh yes folks, they say we have a second wave of...wait for it....Saharan dust again. Oh and that makes it hotter too by the way. My mom told me she heard Saharan dust was blamed on the local weather channel. (all the way from Africa which happened thousands of times before, according to the article) Well before we had the heat wave (s), they were predicting Texas would have record electricity use. They didn't say why. We had 3 large coal power plants shut down THIS YEAR. So far they have been able to keep the power going. I won't get into regulations and geoengineering, but they have crossed my mind.

With that smaller margin between supply and expected demand, ERCOT executive Dan Woodfin said in April that rotating outages, better known as rolling blackouts, were a possibility. That would happen only if other emergency measures, including importing electricity from other states, weren't enough.
Despite the warnings, ERCOT officials have said they expected to have enough electricity generation to meet demand.>>>
I knew I'd come across "rolling blackouts". That is one thing in winter here, but quite another in the hottest part of the year.

I hadn’t heard that story @Hulamoon, while I agree with Kk that it’s a tragic loss, suing someone has become far too common of a response to these situations. I’ll have to read up on it. Is she suing ChipsAhoy or the parents of the house she was at?
Either way, my heart is with them, as they navigate their way thru such a loss. Teenagers like to think they’re invincible so chances are she knew about the peanuts in the cookies and ate them anyway.
Happy Wednesday, Btw.
I’ve got plumbers working on the house today and it’s hot and humid so they’re trying to bow out early. I’m appeasing them with Gatorade and sub sandwiches, hopefully they’ll stay and finish (it just messes with my time line if they don’t). Either way it’ll be fine.

Just like cat litter.
Sheise. Tragic, but no damned excuses. As awful as losing a child is, this woman should be sanctioned by the court for such a frivolous lawsuit! (That should happen a lot, but in fact almost never does . . . )
As for Saharan Dust: I
Saharan Dust, because it prevents hurricanes!!

and just where do you think they put it once it gets "re-cycled"? 
I can’t find anything about her suing anyone. She’s trying to get them to change the color of the packaging so it’s not as easy to confuse with the nut free version. I don’t have any issue with that.
been thinking.... its about having a soul... if we have one and we are supposed to still be "us" when the body dies... that "us" are still around in some sense... how come we cant remember anything when we pass out?? does the soul pass out too?...
just wondering....

Saving $$ is a good reason to make your own bread. I use my cuisinart to make bread. Dont buy it anymore. Probably save $3 a loaf. And I like the smell of it baking.
My dad had a peanut allergy. I thought he exaggerated it. Never saw him sick from it until I was 15. Wow!! I honestly did not recognize him. His face was so contorted he barely looked human. I was convinced peanut allergies were real after that.
Evening...….Time for the truck race at Eldora dirt track. Going to have some pizza rolls and a beer...

When we pass out, our minds shut down. Humans can’t do much when we can’t (or choose not to) use our minds. Even awake and aware, the info recorded by our minds is more than we are able to retrieve and recall. Maybe some folks do remember what takes place when they are passed out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When we sleep, most of us remember our dreams at least some of the time.
Death is more akin to sleep.
My point being that we can’t prove or disprove the existence of the soul based on the mind.

I’m saving even more making Chinese hand-pulled noodles. We used to spend $30 - $40 (total with tip) to have them at a local place. I make them for maybe $3 per bowl. The sourdough pancakes save a lot on breakfast too. And that’s a few pennies’ worth of flour with a few pieces of fruit tossed in. Local pizza place charged $25 for one with fewer toppings than I’m using! The list goes on...
Oh no! What will you eat on Friday then?
