If you land at 7:00, you get off the plane at 7:30. If you have a car waiting for you and avoid the taxi line, then it's possible.

Most people who suffer from a severe peanut allergy, don't go to baseball games because of the risk.

I've got severe allergies to seafood, wine, and tomatoes so I don't go to seafood restaurants and many Italian places because of the risk.

I'm also an adult and can recognize the risks around me and react to them. Most pre-school and elementary school kids aren't aware enough of their surroundings to percieve and evaluate those risks. I won't bore you with the details.

If a school is peanut free then respect that, don't ridicule and belittle the 'whacked out prozac Moms'. To those 'whacked out prozac Moms', sending your kid to that school with a can of Planters is like sending them to school with a gun. And I've heard that Mom's can be pretty fierce when it comes to protecting their young.

Please let it go. TM even confirmed that there are "100's" of moms that are looking to protect their kids from every little danger. And he even said most are on some type of anti depressant. It is a tri state thing. and an expensive day school thing.

I wasn't ridiculing her right to inquire. surely it is human nature to want to protect your child. I was ridiculing that there are so many moms out there like that that try to protect their child from every little thing. peanuts were a POOR example of that. you could insert anything else and it would be viable.

I prefer sunflower oil to peanut oil. Neither is available as a showering option in my apartment.

I use Neutrogena's Sesame Oil in the shower. Sometimes, when I'm feeling really whacky, I'll even take a bath and add it to the water.

Yes. But if you expect to land at 7 AM in LaGuardia I assume the scheduled arrival time for your flight is around 5:30 AM, right? I can count on the misshapen fingers of my horribly-mutilated-in-an-industrial-accident hand the number of times I have been on a plane that took off from or landed at LaGuardia at its scheduled time.

See, this all started because you read some piece of idiocy from somebody that you should ignore. And now you're having a fight with Pony about peanuts at a baseball game. How did we come to this?

Oh, come on. You know the answer to this.

We've lowered our standards. It's an impossible slippery slope from Not Me to where we are now.

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound when you tell OTHER people to let things go? You are truly the dead fucking horse's shit shoveler.

P.S. You do realize that you just quoted someone referring to you as an idiot, don't you?

If perhaps Thurgreed had been a little more compelling in his argument to ignore her, then we would not be in a situation where everyone still responded to her.

He. Really. Fucked. Up.

If the criticism is of those moms that overreact to every little thing, I can tell you it is valid. It is possible that there are a number of mothers who are absolutely insane about protecting their children and enforce all sorts of stupid rules on other people through their power in the PTA (and trust me, these women are the super-active PTA types). Their kids need special treatment for field trips because they might get scared or lonely, they need to be given specific diets based on what they like or will or won't eat, they can't be yelled at when they do something horrible because they are sensitive and need to be encouraged, they can't be around peanuts because their second cousin once had an allergic reaction, etc.

There are also those mothers who have young children with severe allergic reactions to things like peanuts who need to have their children protected. It is possible to criticize the first class of mothers without criticizing the second class, especially since the second class is so very small. And that's really the point.
