In case you haven’t heard, the CDC has linked a salmonella outbreak to Peter Pan peanut butter as well as Wal-Mart’s Great Value peanut butter — both of which are produced by ConAgra Foods, Inc. Thus far, nearly 300 people nationwide. While ConAgra claims innocence, and states that all of their tests have been negative, [...]

Just a quick note to say that we’ve implemented a new strategy for blocking comment spam. We’ve tested it out over at FiveCentNickel and it seems to be working well with no negative side effects, so we’re rolling it out here, as well.

I just ran across this and thought that it was worth sharing: “When a child is born, a father is born. A mother is born, too of course, but at least for her it’s a gradual process. Body and soul, she has nine months to get used to what’s happening. She becomes what’s happening. But [...]
As we wrote about a few weeks back, Son #3 just had his five year old birthday party. While he was pushing for a Transformers birthday party, we ended up doing a firefighter theme.
