Eggs & Pet Insurance

I'm back from Mom's for a few days. I kept it light the last two days and Mom had a really nice time. When I left her, she seemed to be in less pain and less tired after two days with the kid here. The latest on the caregiver is they think she got salmonella from milk that she drank. In Oregon we have been under two recalls. The first was a local dairy, Umpqua Dairy, who put out a batch of bad milk. They shut down their facility in Rosburg to completely clean it out. While that process is going on they have moved operations to a different location and their product is now safely back on the shelf of grocery stores. The caregiver drank some of the bad milk and a local doctor pegged her dizziness as related to the milk. The other recall we have been under is that national egg recall. Wow has that created havoc. Here is a question and answer article about the egg recall. Hope it helps all of you here to determine what to eat and what not to eat. As for me, I'm not eating eggs for a long time.

The questions for the day. Are you concerned about the egg recall? Are you going to avoid eggs for a while? What about pet insurance? If you have or had a pet are you or would you get pet insurance now that you know whatpets sometimes eat?

Hope this is a great day for all of you!!

WHO AM I? Yesterday's answer Mary Brown "Brownie" Williams Ledbetter.

Born in 1921 and dying in 2005 I was a civil rights activist, lawyer, judge, state senator, and President of Manhattan, New York City. I was the nineth of twelve children born to parents who had immigrated from Nevis, in the Caribbean. Mom was the founder of a chapter of the NAACP. I received my undergraduate degree from NYU and my law degree from an Ivy League school. My legal career began as a law clerk in the fledgling NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund where I worked with Thurgood Marshall, Jack Greenberg, and others. I was LDF"S first female attorney and became their lead trial attorney. I wrote the original complaint in the case of Brown v. Board of Education. I was the first African-American woman ever to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court. Thank you James. I was successful in nine of the ten cases I argued before the Supreme Court. The tenth decision was eventually overturned in my favor. I had a life of many firsts including first woman of my ethnicity to became a state senator from my state, the president of a local borough and the first of my federal judge of my race. I am in the National Women's Hall of Fame, received the Presidential Citizens Medal and was awarded the Spingarn Medal.
I died of congestive heart failure. I am sure it won't surprise anyone that Bill hasn't heard of me but I hope the rest of you will be able to answer the question, Who Am I?
