BLOWN AWAY

[newstart2380]

Would you believe they are trying to stop children at pre school blowing out candles because they might blow saliva onto the cake ?

I think it would be a lot worse in an aged care facility when someone turns 100, the mind boggles.

Newstart, I think child care places have a duty of care and most parents who pay the bills wouldn't mind if  germs weren't intentionally spread in those places ? It isn't hard to have cup cakes or muffins .

[**meep**]

did you take cakes to school for your birthday?

lol nope, i think it is a stupid idea

and??? 

that is to Iza... 

I don't get what you are trying to say???

Sorry Cats Back, I don't understand what the confusion is ? I answered your question.

[newstart2380]

It was in response to it being about Gillard. Did Tony Abbott have a similar policy when he was Health Minister back in 2005 ?

Can we please just for a while keep politics out of this thread ? there are umpteen dozen threads about politics where you can mention JG or TA.

NS this is about politics... 

It is about policies. 

maybe you should have put this topic in with another political thread? 

And Iza I still don't get what you are trying to say??? 

why was it deemed necessary for you to put that into my post????

Sorry Newstart, I didn't realise that we couldn't say who the THEY are.

Don't have a problem with individual cupcakes, so do we have one cupcake with one candle for the birthday girl/boy and they blow it out and others just eat theirs ?

Seems to take the excitement out of the whole act for the birthday girl/boy when the others aren't closely interacting. can anyone remember the excitement of having everyone huddle around the birthday person and cake and watch the blowing out of the candles.
