MONKEY MUSINGS DAILY OPEN DISCUSSION #42 6/12/09 - 6/30/09

[Sassycat]

Fanny,it'll be o.k.
Klaas and all the mods keep thing running smoothly.
I was upset also yesterday,but I knew it would be handled.We have just been so anxious with this anniversary coming up,and the never ending .............can't think of a word for that bunch right now,til we had to speak our minds.
I haven't read all of the post today,cause my connection kept going on the blink and I had a lot going on here.I'm gonna guess most were upset with Steel.They should be.
Please don't think about leaving.I would miss you very much.Just ask yourself what would "Thor Fanny" do?We've got a lot of long days ahead of us,but if we stick together we'll be o.k.

Gotta run now.Found out today that my Dad is having surgery on both of his eyes on Tuesday.  After his cancer last year you know he just seem to keep having more health issues.
I even told my DIL that I would not watch the kids until after next week.I've been so down thinking about my son.If I can get through this next week,we'll take the Anthony's by storm.
You monkeys mean everything to me.Please don't let one person keep you from here.We love you.I gonna end this post before it looks like a book.Hug to you. 

      I'm keeping you and your family in my prayers, Trimm. 

[Monken]

Hugs to you Trimm! 

Guys ,i am so mad & upset; i have carpal tunnel in my wrist!! 
I over did it painting my kitchen with a hurt ankle(Thank God I'm finished!); My kitchen was already torn apart painting & hubby kept the girls occupied while I finished. He was pissed & didn't want me too, but I can out argue him!  Anyways ,when i fell i landed on my left wrist & since it was already hurting from painting & doing cakes I didn't notice that i had aggravated it. My ankle got better but my wrist didn't. I'm wearing a brace on my wrist now & it's very difficult not to use my left hand! I have to use my right hand for everything & I hate that!!  I have cakes scheduled so I have to let it get well & it least it doesn't hurt to type!     I know this makes me sound like a clumsy idiot, I'm really not; just overly ambitious!
It's going to be 100 degrees here today(heat index 110)!  I'm meltingggg!
Love you All!!!

[Sassycat]

Oh no, Monken - I hope your wrist heals quickly.    Rest that wrist and stay cool!      

[Fanny Mae]

Gosh Monken, you are one bundle of energy! I hope your wrist gets better soon. Be sure to post your new cakes whenever you get a chance. I bet that kitchen is beautiful! Take care of yourself.

How awful, I will say a prayer for the family. I remember something like this happening with some boys, everyone was searching for them, and they also died in the trunk.

Blink on Crime Friday Funny: Indiana Lawyer Plays Oscar the Grouch

Even though we have a Food and Product Recall area here at SM, I was afraid some monkeys don't go there to look, and this could be a problem for many, especially for those with little monkeys:

Nestle recalls Toll House cookie dough

10:47 AM CDT on Friday, June 19, 2009
<snip>
The FDA advised consumers to throw away any prepackaged, refrigerated Nestle Toll House cookie dough products in their homes. Retailers, restauranteurs and employees at other food-service operations should also not sell or serve any of the products.
<snip>
 The recall includes refrigerated cookie bar dough, cookie dough tub, cookie dough tubes, limited edition cookie dough items, seasonal cookie dough and Ultimates cookie bar dough. It extends to chocolate chip dough and other varieties, including gingerbread, sugar and peanut butter cookie dough. It does not affect any other Toll House products, including ice cream that contains Toll House raw cookie dough.

The FDA also said consumers should not try to cook the dough, even though eating cooked dough would be safe, because consumers might get bacteria on their hands and on counters and other cooking surfaces.

E. coli is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea, dehydration and, in the most severe cases, kidney failure.

[klaasend]

Thanks Muffy!

[Sassycat]

Thanks Muffy!

Muffy - thanks from me too.    My kids love that cookie dough.    I'll let them know, for sure!   Especially the one who is having my first grandchild in two months!   

[trimmonthelake]

Thanks Muffy.
Sassy I can't wait for the baby to arrive.So exciting. 

Fanny,I remembered that your hubby had to go for his checkup today,I just didn't get a chance to talk to you.Hope everything went smoothly. 
It took me forever to down load those document to my computer today.Sloooow.
I thought I'd print them out to read later.Went upstairs and to use my other computer and printer.....my air upstairs is broken.    It is 97 degrees here.Can you imagine how hot it was upstairs?  I started to go jump in the lake and remembered I was home alone.I never swim in the lake alone.There are really big fish and they want to swim under your feet.I'm talking big fish.
See you in the other thread.

Every thing is fine. We just went to a new doctor that is going to his colonoscopy on Tuesday morning. I will be a basket case then. We had to see the doctor first since he has had a stroke and we wanted to have in scheduled at a hospital instead of a Colonoscopy center. He has them regularly due to his mom having colon cancer.

It's hot here today too. Way in the 90's and no lake to jump into!! Thread has moved fast and I am about caught up. I didn't want to say anything till I read all the thread. I have saved all the docs for later to read. See you on the thread.

[MuffyBee]

There is a very, very long list of products in the cookie dough recall, and not just the Toll House Cookie Dough:

Monkeys with a sweet tooth, please check the list, I don't want you or your loved ones getting sick.

  MUFFY~  THANK YOU for posting that. My daughter has that stuff almost always in her fridge, they are all cookie freaks! I'm going to call her right now.  Again, thanks, I never look in the other thread.    j
