Have you visited my renter WannabeTVchef yet? Why not? Ok, well finish browsing through my site and then head on over there. The famous chef won’t be here for much longer.
The guys putting a skylight into our enclosed front porch last fall. That’s my husband Chris peering in through the open hole in the roof.
This is a view of the open hole in the roof from across the street:
Have you visited my renter yet? He’s a great chef. You have to see his recipe and photo of Italian Chocolate Triffle. It looks divine. Go see that mouth watering photo and tell me you don’t want some.
Excuse me Officer
Inexplicably Phillip Williams, 47, for some reason approached two uniformed police officers in Tampa, Fla., in March to ask their opinions of whether the substance he had just purchased for the crack pipe he was holding was indeed cocaine. After examining the pipe, the officers suspended their then-current investigation of a burglary and put the cuffs on Williams. The month before, in Orlando, Michael Garibay, 34, approached a sheriff’s deputy in a marked patrol car and asked him if he was ‘straight’ which, as Garibay proceeded to explain to the befuddled officer, meant, “Do you want to buy cocaine?” After Garibay pulled out a baggie of white rocks, he was arrested.
How’s that investigation going?
In March, Gary Brunner became the latest person to go to a police station and ask naively if there were any warrants on him, only to find the answer to be yes and that he was under arrest (for drug possession, Carmel, N.Y.).
In a similar case- Bryan Palmer, 21, and Peggy Casey, 31, were interviewed by police investigating a burglary in South Windsor, Conn., in March, but were released. Detectives changed their minds, though, and were futilely searching for them when the pair showed up at the police station to innocently ask how the investigation was going.
How stupid are they? A Billion dollar bill:
Counterfeiter Tekle Zigetta, 45, was caught by US customs agents in Hollywood with 250 bogus billion-dollar bills. His fatal flaw? There’s no such thing as a $1billion note.
I’ll hide it in the garbage, yeah, that’s what I’ll do:
Tokyo –
Japanese police have returned more than 42-thousand dollars to a man whose wife accidentally threw it out with the trash. The Kyodo News Agency says the man lost the money in early March when his wife threw out the envelope in which he had hidden the cash. The man had been hiding the envelope _ which he had wrapped in a trash bag _ in a garbage can.
The man tells the paper he’d been moving the cash around and hiding it in various places so it couldn’t be stolen by robbers. His wife, unaware that the money was in the garbage can, threw it out along with the rest of the trash. Late last month, the man saw news reports that a sanitation worker had found the cash at a garbage facility and filed a report with police. Police confirmed he was the owner from banking and other details on the envelope.
Lottery Theft
Rocky Mount, N.C.
A thief who ran off with a display cabinet full of lottery tickets will have little to show for his efforts. Police in North Carolina say the man walked into a gas station store, grabbed a display with 600 tickets inside and drove off in a pickup truck. But lotto officials aren’t worried, because despite what he might find by scratching off the tickets, the thief won’t win anything. A lottery spokeswoman says they deactivated the ticket numbers, and the tickets cannot be redeemed.
Now that I have a famous Chef sharing my site with me (see renters link on right), I thought I’d tell you about a great place that I found for Gourmet gift baskets.
Mother’s day is coming up on May 14th, and I thought you might want to start thinking about some great gift ideas. These gift baskets will not only come in handy for Mother’s day, but any special occasion- a simple thank-you, as a birthday gift, or to congratulate someone on their promotion.
I’m sure you’ll be able to find just the right gift for that special someone at Gourmet Gift baskets. Only the finest gourmet food components are used to craft their gift baskets. I suggest you start by looking at their Italian gift baskets.
Enjoy! I hope you like them.
