Check your mixes for expiration dates!
Cake Mixes & Toxins- **PLEASE READ** Pass this on to ALL in your address book. You never know whose life you may save by doing so. For those of you at work, PLEASE remember to check your cupboards when you get home tonight!!!
This is confirmed on Snopes http://www..snopes.com/medical/toxins/pancake.asp
A student at HBHS (high school) had pancakes this week and it almost became fatal. His Mom (registered nurse) made him pancakes, dropped him off at school and headed to play tennis. She never takes her cell phone on the court but did this time and her son called to say he was having trouble breathing. She told him to go to the nurse immediately and proceeded to call school and alert the nurse. The nurse called the paramedics and they were there in 3 minutes and worked on the boy all the way to the hospital. He came so close to dying. Evidently this is more common then I ever knew. Check the expiration dates on packages like pancakes and cake mixes that have yeast which over time develop spores. Apparently, the mold that forms in old mixes can be toxic! Throw away ALL OUTDATED pancake mix, brownie mixes, Bisquick, cake & cookie mixes, etc., you have in your home.
P.S. Tell this to your children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces and anyone else who keeps these types of mixes in the cupboard.
If you love someone tell them,

Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday
Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday Starts Friday
List of Eligible Items Available to Help with Shopping List
With the first statewide back-to-school sales tax holiday starting his Friday, August 6
and running through Sunday, August 15, the Illinois Department of Revenue is
reminding families to plan on shopping for the new clothes and school supplies
their children need to get a good start at school this year. A list of items qualifying
for the five percent sales tax break is available at www.tax.illinois.gov and can be
downloaded or printed from any computer and used to help plan necessary
back-to-school purchases.
Parents and guardians looking forward to sending their children back to school should
welcome the sales tax holiday. This is the equivalent of a five percent discount on the
must-have items for the first day of school,” said Brian Hamer, Director,
Illinois Department of Revenue.
Retailers across the state have announced plans to open their stores early to kick-off the
sales tax holiday and are offering additional discounts on items required or desired for
back-to-school. In addition to those items needed immediately, families should consider
stocking up on basic supplies that will be necessary for the balance of the school year.
Virtually all items required by classroom teachers, including paper, binders, pens, pencils,
crayons, rulers, erasers, chalk, tape, paste and glue, will be eligible for the reduced sales
tax rate. Other eligible items for reduced taxes include clothing that costs less than $100
per item, including shoes, outerwear, uniforms, gloves, hats and mittens.
During the ten-day sales tax holiday, the 5% portion of sales taxes collected at retail registers
will be waived. Sales taxes collected on behalf of local governments will continue to be collected.
The tax holiday runs about a week longer than those in Iowa and Missouri which traditionally
occur during the first weekend in August. This provides Illinois families more time to select
and purchase the items their children need for back-to-school.
Families in Illinois spend between $800 million and $1.2 billion on back-to-school gear for
their children. The five percent sales tax holiday will save them between $40 and $60 million
in tax payments.
