    If peanuts aren't nuts, do they still cause the same problems for people with nut allergies? And do ordinary nuts cause the same problems in peanut-allergic people that are caused by peanuts?
    Not necessarily. One of my kids is fairly allergic to peanuts, much less so to tree nuts. (By blood test).
    If you thing nut / peanut allergies are a nuisance, try having an allergy to soya, like my mother-in-law (and to a lesser extent my wife). It seems that 90% of all commercially traded processed foodstuffs contain soya. Shopping for food is really tedious, and eating out is a nightmare. And there appears to be no mandatory warning on packets: "May contain soya."
    Nods. Three kids - three different sets of allergies. Standard "Dad meals" PBJ, hot dogs, pizza? All dis-allowed.

    Wheat/Gluten is no picnic either - ironicly, most soy sauce contains some wheat.

    Hey, my son is mentally but at least I don't have retarded problems like your kids. Do future generations a favour and stop reproducing.

    Just think, if your kid is a retard and allergic, he'd be too stupid not to know he'd die from eating nuts. Chomp, chump, end of problem.

    To directly address the point, I'm not sure exactly why the clocks would all have to display the same time, other than having master clocks means not having to worry about DST, resetting individual rooms, or dealing with "I'm not late, look at the clock" issues.
    I can see that, but still think it's overkill. Same reason you'll still get a ticket for speeding even though *your* speedometer is permanently stuck as 20 mph.
    Not quite the same thing, since your not saying that *your* watch says differently, but rather *their* clock. It's more like those roadside radar setups with the "your speed is X". Imagine one that says "your speed is 35", and then being pulled over because the cop's radar said 40.

    Imagine leaving one classroom when its clock says 11:00, and the next class starts at 11:05. You take 3 minutes to get to the next class. When you get there, that classroom's clock says 11:07.

    Are you late or not?

    (This may have been covered.....)

    Peanuts are NOT nuts, they are Legumes. People can easily have fatal allergic reactions to Peanuts and other LEgumes, and still be able to eat "true" nuts.

    One classic interaction for people with Peanut allergies is with green peas. My cousin has had to use his Epi pen after eating food that had green peas in it because of the severity of the reaction while waiting for an ambulance.

    His alergy is severe. If you eat a handful of peanuts, an dthen shake hands with him, he will have a reacion ranging from severe rash on the hand and arm, to problems breathing.

    He can not fly because when people open the little packets, enough dust ends up in the air, that if he is within a few rows, it can become a medical emergency.

    I agree. There's nothing more frustrating that hearing someone say "their" when they meant to say "there", or hearing someone say "there" when they meant to say "their". These people should be hunted down and locked up.

    However, I don't mind too much when people accidentally write "their" when they meant to write "there", or "there" when they meant to write "their". Typos (especially typos that spell-checkers can't catch) are completely understandable; and it's not like they're making a fundamental errors in logic (like getting "say" and "write" mixed up, for example)...

    Why would you ever need to syncronize clocks in a school setting (or anywhere except where it counts like an airport or a trading floor)?

    It does count in a school... you want all the classes starting and ending at the right time, so you're not late to the next one because the one before ended late. It's not a matter of safety or great financial sums but it does matter.

    Unfortunately, manufacturers (at least in the US) only list those allergens they are required to by regulations. My son is allergic to corn (maize), which (at least in the US) is used in everything; it's almost impossible to avoid. Unfortunately, it's also used as a binder/bulking agent in most perscription and over-the-counter drugs such as antihistamines.

    Sympathy. Emigrate to the UK.

    Basically, together they just mean you ought to swagger into the building like a cowboy from out-of-town entering the local saloon.

    Aww, that's cute... You guys miss him?
    It's a little pathological, if you ask me.

    I've been home helping take care of the newest addition to my family, BTW.

    I'll be back at work next week so you guys can get your fix of feeling-superior-while-actually-being-clowned-on on ;).

    Oh great, now there's going to be TWO of you?! :)

    Serious though, congrats man!
