While no illness have been reported, listeria bacteria can cause a fatal listeriosis infection in the elderly, newborns and people with weakened immune systems.

Pregnant women exposed to the germ normally don't experience serious symptoms, but they can pass it to their babies, which can sicken them or be fatal, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

when my power lawn mower blades hit a peach pit you’d think a gun had fired.

The saying goes that in the City of Detroit if anyone suddenly hears a bang, people don’t go to the window to see what happened; they hit the floor.

You think that’s bad? In East St. Louis they don’t even use guns.
They insert the bullets manually!

Thanks, I needed a good laugh today.
(Funny one since I’m not in East St. Louis. Sorry to you people who are.)

Well, I was Russian because I was Hungary for some Turkey and so Iran and slipped on Greece, and it was only then that I realized how Chile it had become. Sorry.

Don’t be sorry to me-—that’s my level of humor (or possibly higher than my level.)

As:

When heading to the restroom you’re Russian, while there European, and finally Finnish.

Did we go to the same elementary school?

Apologies to FReepers with good taste.

Did you say taste? Well, I did want some Swiss with that Turkey and some Danish before I actually drove to the Finnish but I ran into Chad (who retrained some French but was Mad-[at]a-gas-car) and broke the China, and had no money so I had to Sing-a-pore song, and then faced a threat to Su dan.

Whew (waiting for a call back from Sno Joe).

Is it time for us to say good night and return Free Republic to the control of serious people discussing the issues?

[frank ballenger]

Yeah, what’s this Polish Vortex I’ve been hearing about?

A huge number of accordions playing at Polish gatherings start a whirlwind of air that beaks off sections of upper atmosphere and frigid arctic air. Saw it on the Weather Channel or somewhere, I think.

Indeed.
