They Weren't such faithful replicas of Robert Bosch Tools, but they were well-received like Tonka Trucks. What disturbs me is the combinations of to-be-purchased items in checkout lanes. I've seen a guy with snake feeder mice and a slingshot and once, I saw a guy buy a clown mask, a Barbie doll to pay for. At the pharmacy. I know, you're allowed to buy one or two small items at the pharmacy ring-out, but I was tempted to see if this guy had a panel truck. Less disturbing was decaf instant and non-alcoholic beers at the grocery. I remember toy chainsaws as a kid in 70s K Marts.

So using evaporated goat's milk in a recipe instead of evaporated milk would make it okay for people with that condition to eat. It still contains lactose, but some people are allergic to cows milk but not lactose intolerant.

You can get almost every single tool made in a kid/toy version. Remember, it's not the chainsaw that kills, it's the person using the chainsaw. Buy your kid a toy gun, he'll be better off.

Sean has a high pain tolerance, so we wouldn't even know he had an ear infection unless we were at the Dr. anyway for a check up (with one notable exception of pus pouring out of his eye while Christmas shopping!). After tubes, our little man BURST into the most verbal kid on the planet - he said the alphabet within a week and could count to 20 within days (he had just turned 2). Without a doubt it was the best thing we did for our son. Cam will one day thank you as well! The difference we saw in Sean before tubes and after tubes was nothing short of astounding.
