Between friends
Madison Anderson, 11, a fifth-grade student at Fair Oaks Middle School, makes sure her name on a PAL certificate is evenly written. Madison, who has severe food allergies, gave PAL — Protect a Life — awards to three teachers and five of her close friends at the end of the school day Thursday.
Six young girls at Fair Oaks Middle School are pals.
It’s not unusual for a group of girls to hang together, but for these students, their friendship could mean life or death to one of them.
Madison Anderson, 11, has food allergies. Severe food allergies. Even being in the same room with someone heating milk for hot chocolate or frying eggs in butter could kill the youngest child of Doyle and Jennifer Anderson, owners of Anderson Station at Second Avenue South and Seventh Street.
Her pals in fifth grade at the middle school know her problems.

Too many tabbiesFri, May 2, 2008 @ 2:51PM We have three cats. I didn’t intend for this to happen. First, we have Comet. We got her almost six years ago, when a co-worker moved away and didn’t have room in her new house. Comet is like an elderly aunt - set in her ways, but sometimes surprisely frisky. Mostly, she likes to be petted when SHE wants, and be left alone by other cats. Then we have Buster. Or, as we call him, Boo-Boo. Yes, I talk baby-talk to him. We got Boo-Boo one year ago when a friend told me she had kittens living in her garage that she hoped she could find homes for. Boo-Boo was not what Comet wanted - a boy kitten, frisky and active. She mostly tolerated him, and he grew up to be a general annoyance to her. Now we have Rocky. I found him at Wal-Mart last week. I went for sodas and brought back a cat. He’s a loving kitty, and the other cats are used to him, but all our cats are tabbies and it’s confusing.

Not SatisfiedThu, May 15, 2008 @ 5:13PM It's been awhile since the last time and I apologize for that. A lot of things have been going on since then and one of them was the US Nationals. I wanna share some of my thoughts from that tournament and give you an idea of what it was like. First I want to address a question that was brought up recently by someone that could just ask me in person but aparantly he wants me to share it with you as well, which is great. The topic of boycott. First of all from what I understand there has been no talk of boycotting the Olympics. The talk was that some are going to boycott the opening ceremonies. In this day and age there is no way in my opinion that the US would ever boycott an Olympic Games, the reason is money. With all of the big corporate sponsors donating and getting their name out there during the games for millions and millions of dollars there is no way we would not go in my mind. As far as the opening ceremonies, I would not want to miss that for anything.
