NUance Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 Quote Mom shamed for letting her kid eat a peanut butter sandwich while shopping at Target: 'It's really awful you would do this' By Erin Donnelly,Yahoo Lifestyle 8 hours ago <snip> The majority of responses let her have it — both for allowing her 4-year-old daughter to eat in a well-used shopping cart and for putting allergy sufferers at risk. LINK That doesn't even make sense. How could a kid eating a PBJ sandwich affect others who have a peanut allergy? I mean, don't you actually have to eat the peanut butter to get an allergic reaction?

They have seemingly become more prevalent and severe over the years. Some people are able to adjust and build up a tolerance by ingesting very small, but increasing larger amounts. Knew a kid in college who used to be allergic to the dust, but kind of out grew it when he got older 1 Quote Link to comment

I figured they would only get an allergic reaction from eating peanuts, or at least coming into contact with them. That must really suck. Quote Link to comment

Kelly hit what he said felt like a clean tee shot on the par 3 14th hole that hit a bird mid-flight before dropping into the water in front of the hole. <snip> Kraft double-bogeyed the hole and missed the cut and a payday by one stroke. LINK So Kelly Kraft hit a bird costing him at least $20,000, and the bird flew away--but PETA still gives him grief?? Clearly PETA hates golf! 1 Quote Link to comment

McCrone Published at 11:46 AM EDT on Apr 17, 2018 | Updated 3 hours ago Jennifer Riordan died from blunt force impact trauma to the head, neck and torso, the Medical Examiner revealed Wednesday. Her death was ruled an accident. LINK Wow, that is scary. She had her seatbelt on and was still partially sucked out the window. Other passengers had to drag her back in.
