Powdered Milk??

[dEHmom]

I hope you know I was kidding (sort of )!! I mean it is just so sad that we actually have to warn people that coffee is hot, kwim?

As child care providers, do we not teach the children in our care natural consequences? If they jump on the sofa and fall off, then we tell them that is why we do not jump on the sofa. That is a natural consequence right? So how come it is okay to let children learn natural consequences but not adults?... just sayin'..

Alot of those warning labels are because some idiot hurt themselves (purposely or not) and sued. If there's a warning that something is hot, maybe then the onus is on the consumer and not the producer???

It's amazing and almost laughable when you hear of all the sueing that happens south of the border
I remember being a young child when my parents were watching the news about the woman who was burnt by her coffee (i can't recall exactly, but i think it was at mcdonalds?) and sued, and then they put the caution on the cups. I also remember saying "well duh! did you think you ordered cold coffee?"

I just know that no matter what, there is always someone looking for a handout somewhere in the world. And if it's by means of sueing then that's the way they go.

they sue McDonald's most often and recently I have even heard that they have made it a law that you cna no longer sue fast food places for burning yo with coffee or making you fat or for giving out toys in their Happy Meals or whatever reason....

and yes, our sue happy country is sort of embarrassing in that aspect....

I'm thinking about suing Minnesota because misquitoes have bit me while I've been outside. or maybe because the weather hasn't been sunny, or possibly because I have found a few wood ticks on my dog... I dunno, I haven't quite decided what basis for court I am gonna use yet....::

A neighbor asked my cousin to cut down her tree because it might fall and hurt their car. Cousin said no because the tree was perfectly healthy. A month later a huge storm pushed it over on to her neighbor's car. Cousin got sued for not taking preventative measures. Neighbor lost because nature happens! (especially when you taunt it!)

you know, i checked out the powdered milk yesterday because I had no idea of the price, never bought it before. I don't see how it is that different to fresh milk in terms of cost.

When I worked out a bag to the number of litres you can make out of it was 1.22/ Litre and this was store brand skim milk.

I normally buy 2% milk in 4 L jug for about 4.79 and that works out to 1.1975 per litre. That doesn't make any sense? the powdered milk is more.

I also triple checked my math (which I just passed btw! got 94% on my exam woohoo) and came out with the same answers.

I will check around because that was only from 1 store, but often I buy milk at 3.99 for 4 L because it's on sale and cheaper at certain stores.

Yeah, I remember it costing almost as much years ago but if I bought the store brand it was cheaper. I get it from my sister, she is a senior and gets Federal Commodities and doesn't like powd milk or use it. So mine is free.
