As I understand it, peanut allergies can result in serious
reactions to very small amounts. So affected people need
accurate info about the ingredients.

I'm thinking if it's called Hazelnut Spread or Pecan Perfection Ice
Cream, common sense would tell you it probably has nuts in it, although
it could just be flavoring.

One could be allergic to peanuts without being allergic to hazelnuts,
too. So the concern is valid.

Sure ... in 1909, only those few rich teens preparing for college even
went to high school ... and a yo-yo with two years of schooling could
support a family of 8 or 15 by shoveling tons of health-threatening
horseshit from off our streets.
"Life" expectancy in the U.S. was 43, largely because TB was the AIDS
of that era.
---TB I agree , aunt had that in early1900s but
AIDS known in the 60s don't think so: believe it came to light in the early
80s
up here in Maine, but than, Maine is 20 years behind everyone else.
The good ol' days, eh?

Oatmeal was one of their staples, along with other grains, at one time, but
I was saying today, to prevent the molybdenum defeciencies , to have oatmeal
along with the potato and milk. No doubt, during hard times the Irish
probably only had potatoes and survived. The potato was called a lumpard
descriptive word I just caught the beginning of the program tracing the
various potatoes from Andies to Europe, the various kinds, the blight, etc.
Very interesting, who would have thought the common potato could be so
interesting. Now, it seems history will repeat itsself as McDonald's only
uses one type of potato that they request to be planted where ever their
business happens to be, therefore, experts are afraid the limited type of
potato will cause the potato to go through what happened in Ireland. the
lumper and the cup made up the staple for 3 million Irish,the limited gene
variation opened the potato up to decimation of the plant. At one time they
grew a dozen varieties, 200 years earlier, plus a variety of grains, but the
diversity had disappeared by the time of the famine.
I see what you meant about the grain being shipped to England, they could
pay a higher price than the poor Irish. Boy, that would get your Irish up!

Nope, essentially because McDs only takes a tiny subset of the potatoes grown.

You can sprinkle borax on the rugs and sweep it in. That will kill
fleas without harming anybody. It works by absorbing moisture. Dries
out small bugs. 3-4 times a year will keep fleas away. It costs us
about $5 a year to do our house, and we don't have to put anything on
the cats or dogs.

I read about how some cheap portable CD players were being put
together with hot glue, and how they were ment not to last more than a
year.

Makes sense with stuff no one ever repairs.

Mindlessly silly. There is nothing in a CD player where that approach is even possible.
