ST knows best: I'm pretty sure I got salmonella from peanut butter at a Coldstone Creamery on Friday. I'm feeling better now, but should I... - ceregon Jan 19, 11:03 20
- CDC=Center for Disease Control. Go to a walk in medical center. -- nm - lileve Jan 19, 11:09

  - he'd get more ... - zork Jan 19, 11:06 7
    - It might be good to let the store manager know so that he stops using the peanut butter. -- nm - lileve Jan 19, 11:10 6
      - he should have already stopped. he shouldn't have served it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 19, 11:11 5
        
        How would he know to stop if people don't tell him? - con_carne Jan 19, 11:16 4
        
        with the nationwide peanut butter scare going on, recall notices should have arrived at his place of operation already -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 11:19 2
        
        I didn't know such a thing was happening. Is ceregon in Canada? -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 11:22 1
        
        uh, it's an FDA/CDC/US thing. Only one person in Canad ahas been affected, the majority of cases are in the US. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 11:26
        
        probably the peanuts were rec'd contaminated. even more reason for CDC to be involved. -- nm - zork Jan 19, 11:17

- I would call the CDC hotline. they really want to know. -- nm - martin luther king jr loves mandy lane Jan 19, 11:04 3

The reason comedians are having trouble pegging Obama is because thety aren't used to, and in many cases are in capable of, grasping subtleties of - TWuG Jan 19, 10:55 13
- I guess he's like Ted Koppel who kept a lid on it due to his need of appearing serious/formal but was known to be a great wit and a very good mimic -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 19, 11:28
- Jamie Foxx did an okay start. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09!!! Jan 19, 11:14

  - I swear this hit me just before you posted this. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 11:02
  - Ewww..... -- nm - TWuG Jan 19, 11:01
- I think part of the trouble is that he's a cool guy. Comedians are probably afraid *he'll* make fun of *them*. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 19, 10:59 1
  - Basic psychology. No one likes to make fun of the cool kid. They all want to be his friend. - TWuG Jan 19, 11:08
- I've already got an Obama pet peeve. - ty97 Jan 19, 10:58 5

    - First guest: Church Lady -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 11:02
  - he migh substitute - ty97 Jan 19, 11:00
  - Yep. "Look" is his version of "Uhm". Very annoying. -- nm - TWuG Jan 19, 11:00 1
    - A little bit less rude than "Listen, ", though -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 11:00

please save me from a deep dive on ebay. can anyone tell me how long a buyer has to pay after they "buy it now?" -- nm - kare Jan 19, 10:44 7

  - crap. thanks. (i sold something by "buy it now," but didn't specify.) -- nm - kare Jan 19, 10:47 5
    - (and have been waiting for payment for a few days now) -- nm - kare Jan 19, 10:48 4
      - Next time make it a paypal only/must pay now (ebay makes it hard not to use paypal) - zeitgeist Jan 19, 10:55
      - You can open a dispute after a certain amount of time - I think if payment has not been received within 14 days? - kelly Jan 19, 10:52
      - Send an email giving a "pay by" date -- nm - TWuG Jan 19, 10:49 1
        
        ok. thanks! -- nm - kare Jan 19, 10:50
"underdogs" were 10-2 in the streak game yesterday. -- nm - Reagen Jan 19, 10:34 2

- well, at least there'll still be a president who talks funny - so the comedians won't be entirely out of jobs :) - Beryllium Jan 19, 10:31 4
  - Obama might be the least funny president of the last 30 years - con_carne Jan 19, 10:36 3
    - A video I linked last night compared Obama to either Jimmy Carter or Ronald Reagan, depending on how the comedians lambaste him - Beryllium Jan 19, 10:39 2
      - Reagan untouchable by comedians? LOL -- nm - con_carne Jan 19, 10:43 1
        
        well, you're welcome to look up the video I linked. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 19, 10:45 [youtube]
Snow day! -- nm - kelly Jan 19, 10:30 4
- Damn I wish. I used the snowblower on the driveway this morning before work and it's going to need another clearing after work. BAH!! -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 10:34 3
  - I don't know why I'm so freaked out about this snow - it's not like I've never driven home in snow before. - kelly Jan 19, 10:36 2
    - I got cocky and went out for more beer at about 10:30 last night had about a half dozen near misses. Scary time, but I was thirsty. -- nm - emoticripple Jan 19, 10:39 1
      - what's that got to do with snowy roads? - Beryllium Jan 19, 10:58
