Quote from: Jeanne on April 19, 2019, 04:12:49 PMTalking about strange things happening (we were, weren't we?), how about this puzzler:A week or so ago I purchased a box of oatmeal-coconut cookies, which sounded tasty. The box had a cardboard zipper on it, which you pull to open. I opened it to find two plastic trays of cookies, each wrapped and sealed in plastic. EXCEPT, the top tray had been opened and several of the cookies missing! I didn't keep the box so I can't really check, but I keep wondering if there's a way to somehow open the box without undoing the zipper. Otherwise, the theft must have occurred at the factory. I tried the untampered with cookies and didn't much care for them and don't plan to buy them again, but it has left me wondering.I would say that is strange. Maybe it was a machine that had a glitz and didn't put all of the cookies in. Or Lucy & Ethel were in charge of filling the boxes.

Even if you tasted the untampered cookies, you should get your money back.
When something like that happens to me DR JEANNE, I just always figure it was someone's first day on the job.

Or Lucy & Ethel were in charge of filling the boxes.I like your Lucy and Ethel explanation, except that the plastic surrounding the tray was clearly ripped. Maybe it was Lucy or Ethel's job to put the sealed trays into the box.

Watching the colorized I Love Lucy episodes.
Quote from: KevinH on April 19, 2019, 05:05:26 PMWatching the colorized I Love Lucy episodes.Well, so much for that. After about 10 minutes the weathermen came on and have been talking about tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings.
Any NORTHERN EXPOSURE FANS here?
I loved Northern Exposure! I wish they would bring it back on some classics station.
Do you have a keychain from Roslyn?
Or a Northern Exposure keychain?
