The is just an FYI for all of you who have kids and grandkids. I tried to copy and paste the article here. But it didn't work properly. So I just typed it here for you all.
"Thomas and Friends" railway toys recalled WASHINGTON (Reuters) ~ More than 1 million of the popular "Thomas & Friends wooden railway toys made in China are being voluntarily recalled because some may contain lead paint, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Wednesday. About 1.5 million wooden vehicles, buildings and other train- set parts for young children are being recalled, the CPSC said in a statement. The toys were sold in the United States from January 2005 through June 2007, the statement said. Lead is toxic and can pose a serious health risk to young children who often put objects in their mouths. Children under 6 are most at risk. The CPSC and RC2 Corp., the Oak Brook, Illinois-based company that imports "Thomas & Friends" toys, said there had been no reports of illness or injuries linked to the recall. The recall of toys made in China follows a series of health scandals in the United States involving food, drugs and other products imported from China, from poisoned cough syrup to tainted toothpaste and pet food. "Consumers should take the recalled toys away from young children immediately and contact RC2 Corp. for a replacement toy," the CPSC said. I got this information off of the Yahoo News. |

You can never be too careful when it comes to things like this. Jackie was never into Thomas The Train and Friends, but my nephew Elijah sure does love those toys! |

Is anyone else getting a ton of viewer surveys from NBC? When I first joined the board I got a couple of them. Was thrilled that they would be interested in my opinion and then nothing.
In the last two months I am averaging at least one every week or so, occasionally more frequently. Most of the shows they're asking questions about are from Bravo (Project Runway, Shear Genius, Top Chef, Kathy Griffin, Top Design) and I've had a couple for USA Network (Starter Wife, 4400) and one for a SciFi show I didn't watch. I've actually gotten two about Shear Genius, one before it aired and another today after the fact. Haven't gotten anything about an actual NBC show, just the satellite networks. Certainly hoping they ask about Criminal Intent when it gets closer to the air dates. I'll give them a sweet earful for that one in the free response screens: "It's appointment TV. I absolutely rearrange my schedule just to catch it." "I won't schedule tests I would have to grade for the night it's on." "Watch it in first run and then again to follow up and catch details I might have missed the first four times I watched." "Unplug the telephone just for that hour." I'm open to suggestions if you would like to add something to the list! -------------------- Real men come with real problems,
