My Husband was in the propane business for 17 years before becoming a Lineman. Tanks in Ca. have a warning about propane may cause cancer in reproductive organs. 2 years into his new job he got testicular cancer. Makes ya wonder :?:[/quote]
This might just be a coincidence. One of the men I worked with had testicular cancer and he never even grilled out, camped out or anything else. Our neighbor used a propane refrigerator for 60 or more years before he died and it wasn't from cancer it was because he was 88. I have one of those cutting boards and love it. I don't chew on it, sleep with it or things like that so I think it's pretty safe. :thumbup:

She felt violated because they weren't dried fruit. (Do all the nuts live in this state? Crunchberries aren't a real berry and were always marketed as a cartoon.)
I hate to say it but there is a reason why cali is know as the land of fruits and nuts. hehe. ( I can say because I lived there for many years and my hubby was born and raised.)

I don't know. Maybe I am warped, but some of the packaging is just crazy. Why is toilet paper labeled "long Lasting"? Anyway, Fiskars mats have said this for a long time. I have one of the rotating mats and have had it for many years. I don't think it has done anything to me.
