does yours have a metal casing then? this probe with silicon works well for me it's actually part of this.
Amazon.com: Polder Digital In-Oven Thermometer/Timer, Graphite color: Meat Thermometer: Kitchen Dining
they seem to be the more popular brand with replaceable probes, my previous one had a metal casing but frayed and died, but it was like 6 years old, couldn't find a replacement probe tho.

Anybody know anything about cast iron skillets? I've been wanting one but the price ranges are all over the place. A recommendation or info would be appreciated.

I was in Costco about 2 weeks ago and their KC Strip(screw you NY strip!) were still only $11.99 per lb. Not bad, the local grocery stores here are creeping up towards $14-$15 per lb.
About a month ago Costco had a great deal on Ribeyes, had them for $8.99 a lb, I loaded up with a few of those.
My *only* gripe about Costco is that all of their pre-packaged steaks come in packages of 3, and I only need to cook 2 at a time for my wife and I so I'm always torn as to what to do with that random extra steak. 1 extra steak isn't enough for a whole 2nd meal for the 2 of us, so I usually just end up freezing it until we get another pack of steaks and then we have a 2nd extra steak for a whole extra meal.

Try this, man. It's awesome. Mine is different every time, but start with something like this:
Breakfast Pizza Recipe : Ree Drummond : Food Network
Buy Lodge, unless you want to really dig into it and go to garage sales, thrift stores, estate sales, etc., trying to find some of the really old pieces that are a little thicker. If you just want to buy new straight-up cast iron, buy Lodge.
If you want enameled cast iron Le Creuset is the top of the line, but Lodge does that now to and it is basically 1/3rd the price. Just buy Lodge. If you happen to have a Le Creuset factory outlet near you, you can actually get it at something approaching a reasonable price. Otherwise, Lodge.

Don't do it. Shit's crap.
On a happier note, my middle child (11) cooked dinner alone tonight. Mashed potatoes (I've had my butter quota for the year, I think) and Broccoli from the garden, and she wants to experiment with meatloaf, so she asked me to get her minced lamb, and she combined it with cranberries. It was pretty good.

If I had that many kids, I'd never cook or do dishes. You've got a whole little indentured servant army.

Oh, they're on a clean up rotation, and I always have help with cooking, I just like cooking too much to always give it up.

I think it seriously depends on the kid. I trust my youngest with a knife, have since he was five. Not like I'm going to give him a pile of apples and walk out of the room, or anything. Be on top of it when you start, figure out what's safe. It's all about supervision.
