Pickled Tink: January 2009
http://pickledtinkmama.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. No rest for the weary - CPSIA rears it's ugly head again. It seems to me that there's a bit of a conspiracy going on. Why does the CPSC keep sending out press releases that say NOTHING? Here's a great blog with some description for you: Domestic Diva. And she is right. In my resale store, I can sell anything I want that has not been tested - as long as it meet the new requirements. And how do I know that you might ask? Well - since I am not related to Superman (x-ray vision an...

Pickled Tink: June 2009
http://pickledtinkmama.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Crossing the fuzzy line. From the Pickled Tink Blog. Does Facebook make it all too easy to cross the line? What about creating "friendships" that don't really exist? She asked me. Good question.one I do not have an answer to. When do their spouses begin to wonder why they are messaging each other versus posting on the wall for all the world to see? Will they know I clicked "ignore" on them? Then again, why do I care? See - makes me feel 18 and stupid all over again! I am a mom of ...

Pickled Tink: What I want for Christmas
http://pickledtinkmama.blogspot.com/2009/12/what-i-want-for-christmas.html
Thursday, December 10, 2009. What I want for Christmas. What a day. Thought it'd be your basic boring Thursday - but those are the days that throw us for a loop aren't they? I started by being a guest on an OPB radio show called "Think Outloud". They were doing an hour on food safety and asked me to be a guest to talk about my experiences with Beck and his salmonella. It was an honor to be asked and I think it went pretty good. You can listen here if you are so inclined. OPB Think Outloud. I am left to f...

Pickled Tink: February 2009
http://pickledtinkmama.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. Are you kidding me? Today I was working at my store. and this woman came in with her 2 year old daughter. She (the mother) told me ALL about her daughter being in the middle of potty training. Common conversation in the store, so - whatever. Then she launched into details of how LONG it had been since her daughter had - you know. gone #2. And she kept calling it #2. Ugh. After asking her daughter like 15 times "Is it time? I get to see the most interesting things. He began cl...

Pickled Tink: March 2009
http://pickledtinkmama.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Saturday, March 28, 2009. Things I learned while I was alone for 6 days. 6 days with no kids and no husband around. good time to grow. 1 I cannot live on coffee, bagels and beer. My tummy hurts. 2 There is no limit to how many times you can watch 1 movie in a week. I’ve watched Twilight 3 times this week. It’s my new obsession. I even watched the special features on the DVD. What is it about that movie? Hmmmmaybe a whole different blog post. That’s a very busy day. The list is still so long. 9 I don̵...

Pickled Tink: My day as a Lobbyist
http://pickledtinkmama.blogspot.com/2009/05/my-day-as-lobbyist.html
Saturday, May 9, 2009. My day as a Lobbyist. I went to Washington DC last week to lobby for food safety and FDA Reform. I went as part of a coalition of several food safety groups, lobbying for HB875, or the Food Safety Modernization Act, as it has come to be called. In a nutshell, here a the key points:. 8226; Mandatory recall power for the FDA – did you know they don’t have this now? 8226; Annual inspections of food manufacturers. All without telling anyone! Isn’t food a more basic need? Going out on a...

Pickled Tink: FDA and me....
http://pickledtinkmama.blogspot.com/2009/04/fda-and-me.html
Friday, April 24, 2009. I head to Washington DC next Monday. Me and the government are going to go at it again. Maybe this time I'll win? Didn't really get too far with the CPSIA but I am eternally optimistic. Why are you going to DC - it is because you just like to get involved in causes? Do you feel really strongly about this issue? So - I am off to DC. and our local News station picked it up. More press on it's way - this was just the first. We had the crew in the living room this morning ...I am a mo...
