Great.. my little boy loves Play-Doh and apparently he is playing with arsenic, lead, and PVC by-products which can leach into his skin and cause kidney damage and cancer, among other things. Gotta love the great US of A where corporations only care about the mighty dollar. Here's what Play-Doh had to say about this:

BLOG #12 – FINAL BLOG
My parting words to you all:
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out & loudly proclaiming ‘WOW! What a ride’!"
This epitaph is on my Dad’s gravestone and I live by it because life is just too short to not do all of the awesome things you have your heart set on doing. (CARPE DIEM is my second favorite motto..)
Reflect back on this semester.
*Have you met anyone new who is important to you? Have you rekindled any old friendships that have made you stronger?
*Have you experienced any major changes academically or personally?
*What is your one BEST or FAVORITE memory of this semester?
*How will you live your life to the fullest?
A parting quote from Fast Food Nation:
“Nobody in the United States is forced to buy fast food..Pull open the glass door, feel the rush of cool air, walk inside, get in line, and look around you, look at the kids working in the kitchen, at the customers in their seats, at the ads for the latest toys, study the backlit color photographs above the counter, think about where the food came from, about how and where it was made, about what is set in motion by every single fast food purchase, the ripple effect near and far, think about it. Then place your order. Or turn and walk out the door. It’s not too late. Even in this fast food nation, you can still have it your way.” (Schlosser, 270)
