Who Ate My Thin Mints?

February 23, 2011 by Rhonda Gales

It’s that time of year! Yep, girl scout cookies are on sale. As you know I’m a lover of the Peanut Butter and Thin Mint Patties. I purchase at least 10 – 15 boxes of cookies each year. I love to freeze them and pull them out on a hot summer day while I’m curled up reading a good book or watching a good movie.

My sister knows that I’m a lover of girl scout cookies. She sent me a link to a newspaper article this evening that had me in stitches. The article was about two roommates fighting over Thin Mint girl scout cookies. Apparently one roommate woke the other up early Sunday morning accusing her of eating her cookies. An argument ensured, and the roommate whose cookies were missing assaulted the other with a pair of scissors, a board and then a sign. I wonder if the sign read, “Who Ate My Thin Mints?”

As much as I love my girl scout cookies, I don’t think that I will go to jail on an assault charge for them.

Pillow Pets: Buzzy Bumble Bee Pillow Review

February 11, 2011 by Rhonda Gales

I love spoiling my grandson. He loves The Bee movie, and fell in love with the Buzzy Bumble Bee Pet Pillow when he saw it. Mama surprised him this week, and shipped this adorable pillow to him. I can’t wait to receive the phone call this week-end when opens his package. Although my grandson was partial to Buzzy Bumble Bee, the Patriot Pup, Jolly Giraffe, and Ms. Lady Bug are adorable too. You can view the entire selection of Pet Pillows available by visiting www.mypillowpets.com They are quickly becoming the rage!
I purchased the large 18″ pillow; however, you can purchase the pillow in the 11″ as well. The pillows are made out of chenille, which makes them oh so soft and cuddly. You unvelcro their belly, and thus your child has a snugly pillow. You get a bonus ladies, they’re machine washable and should be air dried.

I actually found the Buzzy Bumble Bee at CVS for $19.99. The price was comparable to Walmart, but a little more than Amazon. Amazon is offering free shipping on their Pet Pillows too, so check out their site if you’re interested in purchasing.

Mother Mails Puppy

February 9, 2011 by Rhonda Gales

A Minneapolis mother tried to mail a 4 month old puppy via Priority Mail to Georgia for her son’s 11th birthday. Yep, you heard me right. She tried to mail a puppy through the mail in a cardboard box with no food, water or air holes. When I saw the story, I couldn’t believe my eyes or ears. The puppy moved inside the box, which caused the box to fall. The worker picked up the box and heard panting. She called her manager who instructed her to open the box, and there was this adorable puppy named Guess.

How in the hell did she think this puppy would survive? The trip from Minneapolis to Georgia is 2 days. When I see or read stories such as this, I ask if people are really that stupid. Well, I saw her with my own eyes and yes there are really people this stupid. She was smacking gum and walking out of an animal cruelty hearing as if she didn’t have a care in the world. She even tried to blame her stupidity on UPS. She told the officer that UPS didn’t have a list of what could be mailed or what couldn’t. Bitch, would you mail a human being in the mail? I mean really. The worker asked her if there was anything perishables, liquid, hazardous, etc., you know the standard questions, and her response was no. She told the worker the box contained a toy robot.

Once her plan fell apart, she demanded a refund and she even tried to get the puppy back. Oh yes she did! Thank goodness, her request was denied. She is now facing animal cruelty charges and must pay $15.00 per day for boarding fees for the dog. If she is unable to pay, the dog will be put up for adoption. I wonder why she doesn’t have custody of her son! I think her son and her puppy are better off without her in their life.

I’m so glad the story had a happy ending. It could have ended up being a tragedy on the evening news.
