Creepy Guy

We have a cafeteria in the basement at work. The guy who runs it gives me the creeps. He ogles all the females and asks tons of questions all the time. Next to the cash register he has a display of handcrafted jewelry that he has for sale. I think that’s kind of tacky to sell things like that at your place of employment.

He didn’t know how to run the cash register or put information into the computer that is used to track employee purchases. I saw one girl showing him how to enter her name into the computer. I don’t go down there anymore unless I’m desperate for something to eat.

Nice Grandma…

charlotte — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 23:52:16 +0000

Not! A 54 year old grandmother was arrested for driving around a parking lot with her 3 year old grand daughter sitting on the roof in Marathon, FL. The woman said that she would never let anything happen to her grand daughter. If that were true then she wouldn’t have had her on the roof of the car. I hope they drop her car insurance coverage or at least raise her rates sky high. They also need to take away her driving privileges. This woman give us grammas a bad name!

Stormy Sunday

The area is getting hit with thunderstorms this Sunday. Some have been and will be severe and could have Titleist golfball sized hail, high winds and heavy downpours. Stay safe in these storms. If you are outside get inside as soon as you hear the storm approaching. Do not stand under a tree.. it’s not safe. If you are in the pool.. get out and get inside.

If you can hear thunder then you could very well be struck by lightning.

Didn’t make the news

This didn’t make the local news or newspaper but it was a big deal to me. Thursday I was at work and was called and informed that someone set a fire in front of the door to my condo. I rushed home to find a big burned spot and my front door had been kicked open by the fire department. You can read the rest of that story here.

I needed a whole new door which was finally put in about 4:30 pm by some very good men wearing their company logo shirts. It took them about 3 hours to remove the old door and put the new one in. They did a really good job. Now I have the best looking door in the building. With the old door you could see daylight through some of the gaps. I see no daylight coming through that door anywhere.. except when it’s opened!

Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii

Can you believe that someone actually named their poor child “Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii”? Just imagine the teasing that poor thing has to put up with. She could never get a job, even as a futures broker, with a name like that.

A judge in New Zealand made the 9 year old girl a ward of the court and changed her name. She was the subject of a custody battle between her parents.

Some parents just don’t think when naming their children what the names can do to them later in life. The teasing, the ridicule a child receives because of their name can scar them for life.

117 Cats, a raccoon and a rabbit

Humane society workers found 117 cats, a raccoon and a rabbit in a house in Iowa. Council Bluffs, Iowa, police caught a 54-year-old woman who lives at the house reportedly stealing cat food. They said she smelled like cat urine.

It’s not the first time the woman has been in trouble for having too many cats. One time the humane society pulled more than 200 cats from her house.

Many of the cats found there were sick and the floor was covered in feces and some of the cats were dead.

The woman faces possible citations for cruelty to animals and other charges.

How in the world would that many cats be comfortable in that house? Where would they sit.. on sound bars? There aren’t that many windows in a house for them to sit on.

Couple claim mysterious noise plagues their house

An elderly couple are claiming that mysterious noises have been plaguing their house for the past 2 years. They say it sounds like a rumbling motor, with a subtle vibration. It stops whenever they try to show city officials or acoustic experts what they’re hearing.

The noise keeps the woman awake at night. The noise can be heard whether the windows are open or closed. It’s not coming from a stereo in their home.. they don’t even have speaker mounts.

The couple said that the noise started soon after a church across the street had the roofing, chimney and duct work on a wing of its school redone. However, when the parish staff turned off all of its equipment as a test, the noise continued.

19 year old got 5 years

A 19 year old got 5 years for using technology to steal credit card numbers on Friday. He had skimmers which are handheld devices that can copy information from credit cards. He gave them out to his friends to use at their jobs. At least 150 people had their information stolen.

The teen’s lawyer asked for leniency for the teen because he has a life long skin condition that requires special care and medications. This kid lied to investigators and was the ring leader in all of this. I don’t see why he should get any special treatment. He was also charged with breaking windows in a local high school by shooting at them with a BB gun. These incidents happened between September 2006 and January 2007.

The teen said in court that he was really sorry he did all this and he wouldn’t do it again. I’ll be he’s only sorry that he got caught. He probably wanted to do a balance transfer of his credit card debt to someone else!

Rabid Raccoon

charlotte — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 17:29:08 +0000

A 6th rabid raccoon has been found in Galloway Township since the beginning of 2008. The raccoon was found in a homeowner’s garage and it tried to attack the homeowner’s dog. Animal control was called and the raccoon was captured, removed from the property and euthanized. It was then sent to the NJ Dept of Health for testing.

The dog is under confinement for 6 months because it’s rabies shots were not current. The poor thing… that must be a horrible memory to live with. The homeowner is undergoing rabies treatment for the next 30 days.

This is the 9th case of rabies in Atlantic County.

Changing

charlotte — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 17:12:22 +0000

This blog is changing. I change things about as often as I change from wearing pearls to wearing religious jewelry that my son and his wife gave me a couple Christmas’ ago.

I will be still doing some travel posts but mostly it will be news stories that I’ve read in the newspaper and things happening in here. As you see I’ve changed the title and tagline of this blog. I hope my readers will hang around and read more. I hope you all comment more too!
