I just ran into a celebrity acting not so....

13 years ago

nice.

By Celebrity, I mean a local news gal. But still, I see her every morning on T.V. :0)

I was in the grocery store and she was complaining rather loudly to the store manager about not carrying a certain cheese.

Cheese.... :0)

There weren't very many people in the store, but the ones of us who were, had dropped jaws.

It's just kind of odd behavior because she seems extremely sweet on T.V.

So I wanted to ask..... Have you ever seen a celebrity acting differently then you believed them to be?

Definitely! Local news girl here too. Pushy broad trying to get her kids in the long line in the bathroom before a show (I think it was Arthur). "Don't you know who I am?"!!!

Yeah, and I don't care!

Yep, it was Fred Rogers! He was at a local ski resort restaurant and treated the servers horribly. When we left I stopped and told him behaviour was was beneath him. His jaw nearly hit the table.

My luck just ran out -- 26 degrees right now.

The 26 was at the official NWS recording station for Oakland County, which is at Oakland Pontiac International Airport in Waterford, about 3 - 5 miles from my house (depending on WHICH end of the airport complex they have the weather equipment, that I don't know). I actually don't have a good thermometer/weather unit anymore. My last one died. Right now, all I have is a dollar store window thermometer that I think is accurate to about, oh, plus or minus 10 degrees, LOL -- piece of junk, I just bought it for the pretty cardinals printed on the case.

Carol msmisk, you need to get GC, it's magnificent. One of DA's very very best. lacosta_nancy, it is the Perfect Bouganvillia: it isn't mine! It is the neighbors. He has all the work of trimming it, and I am the one who can see it. He just sees the backside, the side without any flowers on it. And it didn't get one bit of damage. The neighbor loves shade. He gets shade, I get flowers...

Why do some women act so dumb???

Carla,, to answer your first question,"why did I warn her to pull the jars she had opened?", At the time I was not feeling particularly vindictive. I figured just the public embarassment of being caught in the act and facing both the store manager and their security probably would have been sufficient to convince her not to repeat the act in future, and if she was to actually pay for the items she opened it would be sufficient restitution... Now in regards to how much of the product that was removed from the shelves, I have no way of knowing because that took place after Jan & I left the store. Our Walmart store is less than 2 miles from our house and sad as I am to admit it, Jan & I probably go there 3 to 4 times a week, sometimes just to browse the store and basically duck the heat for a bit...LOL. On one of our subsequent trips to the store I once again ran into the manager, who tossed me a quick thumbs up when he saw me,,,LOL.. He and I talked a moment and I asked him what legal action they could have taken? I said that since she did not leave the store with any unpaid items it was not shoplifting or petite theft so what action could they take? He said, "you may remember a few years ago when they had a lot of problem with ppl tampering with over the counter meds by putting poison in some of them?" "Yes, I remember there was a problem with Tylenol and a couple other products" He said that as a result of that activity nearly all states have passed very strict laws about "Product Tampering". According to the manager when that womans case went to araignment court the next morning she fooishly pled guilty, no doubt thinking it is not a big deal. But the Judge took it real serious. He sentenced her to 5 yrs, suspended but she has to participate in a probation program for that 5 yrs and if she doesn't meet the probation rules she will have to serve the remaining sentence. In addition, she was ordered to pay a restitution to the store equal to the cost of all products that were subsequently removed from the shelf and she has a permanent restraining order prohibiting her from entering that Walmart store.

My dog just killed a water moccasin. She's acting normal, go to vet?
Q

She's cute! Yes sorry, necrose is just the technical term for 'death/dying'; it's used particularly to describe when cells/tissues/organs die (for example, liver necrosis). When something severely injures cells in the skin, whether it be due to a toxin, trauma, etc., it can cause necrotic lesions that appear similar to scabs, but look different in that they are black in color (think black=death). Depending on the cause/extent of injury, instead of getting smaller and shrinking like a normal scab does as it heals, a necrotic lesion can actually get larger as the tissue around the original wound site dies. Continue to look for any sores, which should pop up in the next few days if she was bit since cellular death happens fairly quickly. If you see any, I would definitely take her to the vet to see what your treatment options are - antibiotics to prevent any secondary infection may be necessary. Also let her 'show' you if she was bit somewhere - pay attention to if she's excessively licking a particular spot. Hopefully she won that battle without any injuries - they can be quite brave huh?! I know if I came across a venomous snake, I'd run away, not try to attack it with my mouth! I'd keep a sharp shovel or something similar nearby when you're outside for your own defense. I don't think we have moccasins in So Cal (at least not that I've encountered), but we do have plenty of rattle snakes. My FIL has a walking stick with a sharp metal tip that he's speared a few rattlers with on hikes.

Fresh out of college DH worked at a local radio station where the morning host was a well-loved personality -- except to the people who had to work with him!

DH and I did many interviews with TV personalities while championing open adoption records. Those TV lights go on...an entirely different personality lights up too. You have to remember who is The Star and let him or her run with it. Get your message across right off the bat in as few words as possible. (Oprah was certainly 'an experience'.)

Austin is a film town, so yes, I've had semi-close encounters. That would be seeing, but not interacting, with the celebrity. But honestly, I've never seen anyone being any less than polite.

My closest encounter was with Dan Rather out with his grandkid many years ago. Grandkid ran full tilt into me. Mr. Rather was apologetic, and chatted with both me and my son for a few minutes.

My son was friends with Jessica Langes daughter when they were in high school.

They would spend time at our house along at hers. Jessica is one of the nicest people that I have met

DD use to work in CA at Pyramid Lake near Los Angeles as a state employee. They film alot of TV sitcoms there and she said you cannot believe how rude most of the stars were. Yes it was her job to clean up, and keep the state park clean etc, but they (some of the stars) demanded that she do this, that and many times by state laws she could not do what they demanded. I won't name names, but it sure opened her eyes. There were others that were great and really tried to work with state employees and the public.

I suppose they are no different than any other loud mouth you meet on the street or that you work with. We all know some of these people and I suppose celebrities are no different. I can say that I would think that occupation would have more than their fair share though.

I just ran into a celebrity acting not so....
