No, I didn't hear it!  Hopefully it will be in the paper tomorrow.  Did you get your mail already?? 

Time for me to call it a night.  GOODNIGHT!

I was just reading through the Steve Fossett satellite pictures your scanning, pretty similar to the email I sent earlier about that kind of stuff. Do you think there are public satellite images of Aruba available for the night and next day for the Hollaway case?

[MumInOhio]

 Good Morning Monkeys!  UAW/GM strike over. Decision Thursday which of the other auto companies will be negotiated next. DH is with one of the others, so let's hope cooler heads prevail. 

  ANGIE please take it easy on us poor Browns fans, though it was like the old Cardiac Kids on Sunday!  Have to say though that after games  the last two weeks being decided by a coaches timeout, I think the NFL needs to look at the rule.  Bad loser here!

Just wanted to pop in & say Hiya Monkeys. I have a very busy day ahead & will try to catch up on reading later. Real life just keeps getting in the way of the things I really want to do.
Have a great day all!!!!!

[2NJSons_Mom]

Good morning, everyone.  Family members from out of state are here for a couple of days, so I will probably be checking in only when not visiting with them.  Yapperz is right about real life getting in the way.

Topps Meat Company Recalls Frozen Hamburgers After Six Illnesses Due to E. Coli Bacteria
Wednesday, September 26, 2007


 ALBANY, N.Y.  —

A meat company is voluntarily recalling some of its hamburgers after a cluster of illnesses in the Northeast caused by E. coli bacteria, officials said Tuesday.

At least six people have fallen ill in New York, and three were hospitalized, officials said. All are recovering, the state Health Department said.

The recall affects boxes of frozen hamburgers distributed by Elizabeth, N.J.-based Topps Meat Co. Contaminated burgers were found in one victim's home freezer by health officials, said agency spokeswoman Claudia Hutton.

Topps is "fully cooperating with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to make sure all customers are informed and the potentially contaminated products are properly disposed of," Topps spokeswoman Cortney McMahon said.

The recall affects 331,582 pounds of frozen beef patties that were distributed in the New York City area and nationwide, the USDA said. They carried the number "Est. 9748" inside the USDA mark of inspection, and were produced on June 22, July 12 or July 23, the USDA said.

The recalled products included certain 10-pound boxes of Butcher's Best 100% All Beef Patties; certain 10-pound boxes of Kohler Foods burgers; certain 10-pound boxes of Sand Castle Fine Meat; some 2-pound boxes of Topps 100% Pure Ground Beef Hamburgers; and some 3-pound boxes of Topps 100% Pure Ground Beef Hamburgers.

The USDA did not immediately return a call Tuesday night.

E. coli causes intestinal illness that generally clears up within a week for adults but can be deadly for the very young, elderly people and those with compromised immune systems.

Symptoms can include severe stomach cramps, bloody diarrhea and, in extreme cases, kidney failure.

Well, I think I should have stayed in bed this morning.  I still can't get that icon thingy to work..no worries...I never give up.  I can't find Jerry's email addy from yesterday and I realized I have to go buy dog food or I will be the supper for the "children" as I call my bunch of mutts. LOL 

So how is everyone today? 

Oh and one more thing...my can of Raid is empty and I fear Dugga is letting in all manner of critters once again ( got that from a reliable source).
