If after reviewing any or all of these recalled products, you are still unable to speak or read in English, please write down the following phone number, just in case you or someone in your family or neighborhood may have a need for it. I'm going to give this number only one time. Please feel free to share it with anyone who lives in Puerto Rico or the United States, if for some reason you feel it may be useful to them -- whether they speak Spanish or English -- here it is -- 911.

Now, if you still cannot speak or read in English, and if you are not yet hospitalized or dead, or overly concerned for a loved-one who may be hospitalized or dead, I have some good news and bad news and good news. On the top of this page, there is a banner ad from DVD PLANET for the movie "Meet The Fockers," to be released this coming Tuesday. The good news is that DVD PLANET ships to Puerto Rico, enabling you to save 30% on all preorders, according to them -- the bad news is that their website is only available in English -- the good news is -- assuming you can navigate through the site -- the DVD has subtitles and a Spanish-language track.

I always like to end on good news.

Well, that's all folks! Until next Friday.
