Happy Mother’s Day to All

I love the thought, I really wish Jewel offered more natural-looking flowers in their bouquets … but thank you, FirstBorn.

And everyone is a mother to someone – cats, dogs, squirrels…

Facebook $725M settlement – file claim

If you used Facebook at any time during the past 16 years (hahaha), you can file a claim to receive a portion of the $725 million settlement.  How much depends, obviously, on how many claims are filed – we know the lawyers will get their cash regardless.  New York Times says amounts will be small, with larger amounts awarded to those on Facebook the longest.

Go to the claim website to fill out your claim, or else print out the claim and mail it to this address: Facebook Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation, c/o Settlement Administrator, 1650 Arch Street, Suite 2210, Philadelphia, PA 19103.

The claim asks for basic information:

Your name
Your address
Your email
Your phone number
If you resided in the U.S. between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022
If you were a Facebook user between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022
If you deleted your account in that period, the date range when you were a Facebook user
Your Facebook user name
The payment service you prefer, such as PayPal, Venmo or a prepaid Mastercard

Happy Easter Everyone

Ham, scalloped potatoes, asparagus, roasted carrots with cherry tomatoes, two pies (only slightly burned) and to start off – – a thinned down crab chowder (.97 Costco clearance) with a dollop of sweet sherry.  YUM!

Home Run Inn Dock Sale – order now!

The Home Run Inn Drive Thru Dock Sale is back, but with a twist, at least a twist from the last time I posted it!  Now you place an order online by April 12, pay and pick up on April 15 at corporate headquarters, 1300 Internationale Pkwy, Woodridge (click here for map).  Previously you stood in a very long line (although it moved quickly) and took a chance that your favorite variety would still be in stock.  Lots of folks left with only cheese 🙂  For every case of 12 pizzas, HRI will donate $5 to the West Suburban Community Pantry.

Thrift pizzas are those that didn’t make the cosmetic grade. You’ll get frozen pizzas in plastic without boxes.  imho, that’s way better ’cause what’s the first thing you do before playing freezer Tetris …

Costco 97 cent clam chowder clearance

You heard that right!  The Naperville Costco on Ogden has tons of Buy By 4/5 clam and corn chowder for only 97¢!  I bought 18, will warm a few now and refrigerate and freeze the rest.  Just think how wonderful it will taste thawed with potato chunks added.  Yum!

Saw this on a Jewel FB group I belong to; if you’re interested, here’s the link.

Always nasty – but dangerous, too?

Here’s the Consumer Reports Newsletter I received today.

Halloween candy corn, Valentine’s Day candy hearts, and now…. Easter Peeps.  We promise we’re not trying to ruin all of your candy-filled holidays, but you deserve to know what’s in your food, especially special holiday ‘treats’ that are marketed for kids.

So when you’re stocking up to fill those Easter baskets this week, know that pink and purple Peeps contain Red Dye 3, a known carcinogen. 

This color additive has been banned in cosmetics sold in the U.S. for more than 30 years, but the FDA still allows it to be used in food – and it is in many candy and treats that are marketed to children. Consumer Reports is pushing the FDA to ban this dye in all food products like the European Union does, but right now we are calling on the company that makes Peeps to commit to ending the use of Red Dye 3 in its products. 

Join us by pushing the company that makes Peeps to stop using Red Dye 3! By speaking out together we can put real pressure on companies to use less risky alternative colorants, instead of waiting for the FDA to act.

Thanks to so many of you taking action, we are getting industry and the government’s attention on this long-neglected problem. Since the early 1980s, the FDA had evidence that Red Dye No. 3 caused cancer in laboratory animals, prompting the agency to ban the dye in cosmetics. The FDA said it would work to ban it in food as well – but it never acted.

Today, we’re delivering a petition to the FDA signed by nearly 35,000 consumers to enact the Red Dye 3 ban ASAP. And we’re pushing to pass a bill in California that would ban the dye in all food sold there – which would effectively change the U.S. food marketplace if passed.

But companies can act more quickly than the government. Especially if customers put on the pressure and demand change!  Join our petition to the maker of Peeps to get Red Dye 3 out of its candy. Families deserve better!

If you have friends and family with children, please share this email with them so they can be aware of the risk, and join with you in taking action.
