BRACE YOURSELVES... The Plot Sickens...

Sorry, but I really thought the worst was over.
It has only just begun...

The recalled peanuts and peanut products were distributed nationwide to institutions, food service industries, and private label food companies as well as and in Canada, Haiti, Korea and Trinidad.

In reply to the first comment...
It does state "peanut butter"
My guess is that the peanut butter companies will be following suit shortly...

PCA is voluntarily taking this larger recall action following almost two weeks of inspection and review at the Georgia facility.

The expanded recall includes all peanuts (dry and oil roasted), granulated peanuts, peanut meal, peanut butter and peanut paste. All of the recalled peanuts and peanut products were made only at the company’s Blakely, Georgia facility; the lot numbers and a description of the products being recalled are listed at the end of this release. The Blakely, Georgia facility has stopped producing all peanut products.

Because some of our peanut products have been used by manufacturers of pet food, we are also alerting the public that Salmonella is an organism that can potentially be transferred to people handling pet treats exposed to Salmonella, especially if they have not thoroughly washed their hands after having contact with the products or any surfaces exposed to these products. Pets with Salmonella infections may be lethargic and have diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, fever, and vomiting. Some pets will have only decreased appetite, fever and abdominal pain. Well animals can be carriers and infect other animals or humans. If your pet has consumed the recalled product and has these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.

Good Morning All;
Mad at my camera- (Probably mad at myself too). I have a huge scratch in my camera lens that I have no idea where it came from. STINK!
At this point I am thinking to buy a new camera instead of replacing the lens. The digital cameras have sure come down in price since I bought my first one; and I will at some point go "in search of"...
I am also thinking that little trip could be lots of fun!

I have been awake since before 3AM- One of those nights where sleep came early, and wouldn't come again... Too easy this way to get my days and nights mixed up.

That is alright for right now though... I prefer to be awake and to turn a faucet on every now and then- 7 below zero right now- Not as bad as yesterday when it was 13 below.

For everyone dealing with the awful ice storms countrywide, my heart goes out to you. If you still have power, run some water now so you have it for when the power goes out.
Truthfully, I would rather deal with the obscene temperatures we have had than all your ice.
STINKY.

I have tried to keep up with the peanut butter barage of recalls.
It is not possible for me to do so.
Please just don't eat anything "peanut".

"It typically takes 2-3 weeks for Salmonella infections. That means that someone who got sick last week is very unlikely to have been reported yet, and someone who got sick three weeks ago may just be reported now."

****This statement was WAY TOO VAGUE for me.

"It ...is not known to be distributed for retail sale in grocery stores."
Wait... HUH???
STINKY!

I had to go into town two days ago- On my way out of the 2nd driveway, something caught my attention, reflecting the sunlight...

This was not at the end of the driveway,
nor was it within tossing distance from the road.
Kinda freaky~ Definitely stinky.
It serves to remind me that I like Milly outside.
Just too cold yet to leave her out overnight.

.
And unless I have become a sleep walker/drinker, it sure isn't mine.
Of course maybe if I had drank one or two I wouldn't have any problems sleeping!

Worse now.
The good news first.
Mr Sputty-Cat is doing his job! (Say "yay").
The bad news? I CAN'T FIND THE DEAD VARMINT!!!
It is in the back entrance. Somewhere. But I am glad it is back there I suppose.
Talk about stinky~poo.

Have a "wunnaful" Wednesday! Love to all.

XOXO
Me
