The Kitchen Table

Doesn't anyone check these people out???

14 years ago

I just heard that one of the editors for Jon and Kate Plus 8 was arrested for kiddie porn. While I'm not sure if he had any contact with the kids, it kind of icks me out that the show went so many years without anyone knowing this.

Here is a link that might be useful: The Story

Apparently I didn't read closely enough... he wasn't in contact of the kids but still, it's a horrible thing.

Winterizing livestock -- Why doesn't anyone talk about this?

I have only seen one solar water heater, used for horses. It worked OK. Downsides were it did not hold a lot of water, like 20 gallons. Good for one horse, not for multiples. It has a floating ball cover, which got frozen when horse dripped on it. Some vegtable oil is supposed to help prevent the freezing problem. It also was pretty expensive for a plastic unit. The person who owned it, was satisfied, only had one horse. Another idea to consider would be a propane water tank heater. Also rather expensive, but appears to be a well thought out idea in several designs. Do a search for sellers. Lots of cattle and sheep owners who pasture animals where there is no electric available. Those who owned them were pretty happy with the heaters. You could resell it when you didn't need it anymore, probably get most of your money back. Not sure how fast heaters go thru fuel. The livestock owners did protect the fuel tank and heater unit, so animals could not reach or rub against it. Cows are so ready to break things rubbing on them, that good protection would be important!! We insulate our tanks inside wooden boxes. This does hold in the heat, keeps water from freezing quickly. We have electric heaters, so it saves us money not running heaters all the time.

Does anyone know why Subway doesn't put mayo on the bread?

LindaC, now you're talking Elery's language. He spent his teen years working in a small neighborhood grocery owned by an Italian family. Now we sometimes go to GB Russo's and he gets a sandwich from the deli, much like you describe, but with a special "dressing" that seems a lot like vinegar and oil with herbs to me. The capicola is too spicy, the raw onions give me heartburn, even if I pick off the hot peppers the residue remains and I don't like vinegar and oil dressing, LOL. So, I'll pass, but Ashley and Elery think they've gone just this side of heaven. (grin) Ashley likes the addition of mortadella on hers, and as far as I can see, that's bologna! I've had Jimmy John's once and that was enough, and the only sub joints here now that I've moved is Subway, Mancino's and Jimmy John's. They all have way too much bread and not enough "stuff", so if there's no other choice I'll throw away the top half of the bread and eat the rest of the sandwich. I do the same thing with most restaurant sandwiches anyway, everything now has seemed to go to "artisan" bread and it's inches thick, far more bread than filling. Annie

A few yrs left Dale , compression if accurate indicates either worn rings or exhaust valve not sealing . After you evaluate the transaxle condition you can better establish your next step . The excessive smoking from the contaminated oil may have established carbon fouling of the rings and valves . I think you would have noticed this with the heads off . Ultimately the rings tend to loose their temper (piston slap) over time decreasing optimism compression( 115 - 120) range . An ounce of 10-30 oil in the cylinder will seal the rings and give a indication of max compression for your test .

stain doesn’t look like what we picked out with builder

Pine is soft wood, so the softer areas of the wood will absorb more stain in comparison to the harder areas and the results could have a huge color variation. Before staining pine the wood must be conditioned to avoid what grain reversal. Using wood conditioner helps to achieve a more even finish. It's a process when staining pine and if you skip the necessary prep steps and just apply stain to the raw wood you can end up with dark blotches.

Sadly, it's all too common. Just a few weeks ago, the local district manager of Friendly's was arrested for Kiddie porn. Friendly's!!!--a restaurant that caters to families with children (often very young children)!

Another local incident a few years back involved the husband of a local dance teacher. Can you imagine a pedophile having access to a dance studio, with kids in their skimpy little tutu's?

It would be nice if everyone who ever came in contact with kids, in any way, ever was checked, but how would that be accomplished? It would be a massive and impossible undertaking. Especially since a lot of them keep their addictions under wraps.

Bottom line? It's every parent's job to keep their children from ever being alone with an unknown. And to be suspicious of the 'knowns' as well!

Good heavens. I wonder how many workers they check out on the Toddlers and Tiaras show, they really need to do so.

It's like that school teacher from Ohio, she had sex with 4 or 5 of her students and when caught pled insanity. Thank heaven she was found guilty.

Back in the mid 80's I worked on the maintence crew for a local city school district. After I was selected for hiring it was another 90 days while they ran a background check to see if I was qualified to work there.
