I know this is going to surprise and mystify you, that the coincidence I'm going to relate is so amazing you will see god's face in the clouds, but...as reported by CTV.ca:
"The chief financial officer of Menu Foods Income Fund says it was a "horrible coincidence" that he sold nearly half his units in the pet food company less than three weeks before a massive product recall.
Insider trading reports confirm that Mark Wiens sold 14,000 units, or 45 per cent of his stock, for $102,900 on Feb. 26 and Feb. 27, reports The Globe and Mail. The shares would be worth $62,440 at current prices.
Wiens still owned 17,193 units and options to purchase 101,812 units after the sale."
Mr. Wiens has made a good living by feeding animals crap, but now he's trying to shove crap down our throats and I don't buy it. (his words or his pet food)
If this "coincidence" doesn't smack of insider trading I don't know what does.
----------------The dreaded Easter holiday is over. No one knows what to do on this day. We don't go to church in my family, so by 7 AM all baskets have been found, pounds of chocolate have been eaten and no one knows what to do with themselves: Treat it like a regular Sunday and curl up on the sofa with the newspaper in jammies? Or have an event based on a mystical rabbit hiding the eggs you colored the night before?
Because there are bunny-believing wee ones in our family, we feel it's necessary to get together with family and friends, but this year I could have hosted about 26 people who didn't know what to do with themselves.
Lucky me it stayed a managable 12 guests.
I still don't like Easter. It's too cold in CT for outdoor hunts or events so we all stand around looking at each other, checking our watches to see if it's okay now to end the festivities and go back to normal life.

Today is Anna-Nicole Baby-Daddy day, and I've heard it might become a national holiday.
If the Prince is the Papa, I'm anxious to see Zsa Zsa in her role as new step-mommy, hell she's only 90 years old, and has lots of good child-rearing years ahead.
Signing off...

That's funny about not knowing what to do on Easter! We actually forgot it was a holiday until a call from a relative in the afternoon reminded us!
It's a tough day around here. We try to make the best of it but it's always such a flat day and our favorite pizza joint is closed..bummer beyond belief. Plus most of us don't like ham.
I had a great time early on but a toddler meltdown ended that and it went further downhill from there. Too bad we can't just call it Beer day or something...I'm certain it would be a lot more fun.
looking forward to anna's baby daddy day but i have a feeling it aint over till the fat lady...
Media's having way too much fun for it to end that easy.
Menufoods insider trading sounds rather likely. Did they know they were about to kill so many pets? That's way worse.
Hey LB - next year it's going to be Beer Day for me...sounds like fun.
By now the world knows...Larry's the papa. Hope they all go away now.
Hmmm sould I be looking at the stock movement for Kraft, General Mills, Post, and Food maker inc to determine whats for breakfast tomorrow?
Gavin...I'm betting that some of that tainted wheat made its way to human food...we should all just eat one ingredient foods, but it's hard to do.
You know what makes an Easter really something special? Tell the wee little believers that the Easter Bunny isn't real. Then blow Christmas for them too. Less presents the parents have to get for them. Fun and entertaining! An Easter to remember!
sounds like a legitimate theory to me (the insider trading thing.)
Saturday night we had our antiseder (ham, cheeseburgers and just about anything else non kosher.) We decided that we were really were celebrating the spirit of the holiday - because we were celebrating our freedom to do whatever the *F* we wanted. LOL Sunday hubby and I went to Home Depot which was actually open so we could buy stuff to build a box for planting this year. And build it I did - it's huge. I'll post pics when it's finished.
I look forward to more of your "investigative conspiracy reporting " mary. :) (my blog is updated btw... VERY long but updated. :) with cute puppy pics at the end.) HUGS
Aw Nicole, you know I can't do that...just got to suffer through it I guess, though Ilanna's anti-seder holiday sounds like a great time and I sure do like the menu!
I can't wait to see your jumbo flower box I!
