Of course, there's also the old "Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6" philosophy..

First thing I learned in Law Enforcement program at Vincennes University 25 yrs ago.

In the news today, (July 15) It's National Ice Cream Day, which means (among other things) that some retail establishments are giving away or making great discount (buy 1 get 1 free etc) deals on ice cream.

PetSmart even has one for doggie ice cream in the folowing list.

At Pet Smart, yes, Pet Smart, your dog can get a doggie ice cream at locations that have a Pets Hotel on both Saturday and Sunday, July 14 and 15.

Unlike previous years, many now require you give up a little more privacy, see a few more ads on your phone and make you download the ever-present 'app' to get the free or discounted item. Ever sneaky they are, and some more so than others.

For Texans: You 'could' have gotten $3 off HEB brand creamy creations, but you had to grab the cupon before midnight this morning.

when you follow the link to get the coupon, as I just did, here's what you see:

Sure, post the link for the $3 off AFTER you snagged them all!
You are making me wish we had HEB stores here.

In The News Today, July 20..
People are getting sick, (salmonella) from handling and EATING raw turkey......

Of 61 people interviewed, 37 reported preparing or eating turkey products that were purchased raw, including ground turkey, turkey pieces and whole turkey before they began experiencing symptoms, according to the CDC.

I don't like hearing about anyone getting sick but.....who are these people that would eat raw poultry? On second thought, I do not want to know........

 

[Bruce]

Cheap sushi?
Yeah, I'm not into raw poultry. Not into raw fish either.

 

[Latestarter]

I'll second that Bruce...

 

[mystang89]

I can do the sushi thing but who in their right mind would eat raw chicken. That's about as smart as eating raw hamburgers.

 

[RollingAcres]

No thanks on raw meat or fish. I eat medium rare steak but that's just about as rare as I can get.

 

[Latestarter]

Hey... what's wrong with eating raw steak? (or ground into hamburger)? I've found it's a very good way to determine the quality of the hamburger. A little salt and YUM! No raw poultry, pork, or fish for me though...
