This morning I was looking through some cans in the garage and pantry and found that the S&W Premium Ready-Cut Diced Tomatoes cans was bulging. I sent an email contact to https://www.swfinefoods.com/ to see how they handle these sorts of situations.

Then I did some research and found the following.
Cans bulge primarily because of a potentially deadly bacteria fermenting in it, which causes a type of food poisoning known as Botulism. DO NOT PURCHASE A CAN WITH BULGES. Botulism can kill you.
botulism /bot·u·lism/ (boch´ah-lizm) an extremely severe type of food poisoning due to a neurotoxin (botulin) produced by Clostridium botulinum in improperly canned or preserved foods.
There is lots of info about this topic. They all say the same thing, do not purchase or eat a can that has expanded/bulged it could make you very sick or ill.
I must say that I have not been too happy with the folks at AT&T.
Recently my wife decided to switch over to t-mobile from AT&T, to try to save some money and be on the same service as me.
Last month we received a bill for $7.95, after we closed the account. I tried to go online to pay the amount and the account was no longer active. So I called AT&T and asked them why they make it so difficult, I guess that was a dumb question.
So I asked the representative if he could credit the balance and close the account. He said he would see what he could do and within a few minutes he said it was all set. I left with a good feeling about AT&T, they tried to leave things in good standing with a customer(I am still an AT&T customer for home phone and DSL service, although not sure how much longer, based on this treatment).
So in the mail yesterday we received a bill for $1.00!!! I was shocked. So I called AT&T and asked why we received the bill, 90 cents + 10 cents tax! I said you have to be kidding, you want me to send a check for $1 and spend $.41 cents to send it?
The rep said they could accept the credit card I had used on the account. At this point I thought, you know I don’t have the patience to deal with this just pay it, so i did.
Then I started thinking about it more and how the call was handled by the rep.
The fact that one rep can close the account and tell me that everything is closed and I will not be receiving any more bills. The other rep tells me that I owe money.
Here’s the message to AT&T, there has to be some reasonable consideration for customers and the general public.
For Christmas we received a picture mug from the folks at The Picture Mug.
Apparently we are not the only ones as they are out of stock due to popular demand, although they should have them available any day now.
Order yours today and place a photo in the mug. You can easily update the picture.
They also sell mugs.

I’ve been using DVDPlay for a few months. I go to the Vons in Pasadena, usually on Colorado and Sierra Madre. They seem to have a pretty good stock.
Apparently they have taken down all the promo codes from the kiosk and none of the ones that I recently received worked, so I decided to do a search online and found a few links and codes which I will try next time.
https://www.dvdplay.com/dvd-rental-machine/kiosk-promocodes.html – I don’t see any promo codes currently listed.
Other promo codes:
bday419
bday920
PromoCode “PLAY” for a FREE rental.
PromoCode “MISSU50” for a 50¢ rental
You can also get DVDPlay promo codes for free and discounted rentals from InsideDVDPlay [ https://www.insidedvdplay.com/ ].
Also, if you happen to have a Redbox (same idea as DVDPlay) nearby, you can get codes from InsideRedbox [ https://www.insideredbox.com/ ].
One of the things I don’t like about the service is having to return the rentals by 7pm the next day, if they are not returned at 7pm you get charged the full price rental. So last week we rented two movies. I had a promo code, so two movies came out to $1.60, we did not return by 7pm and my credit card was charged twice for $1.07. Perhaps DVDPlay can offer another day for $.50 extra, or some way to not have to pay the full rental price, or at least offer a grace period of an hour. I don’t know how they came up with 7pm.
