No New Deals Here

I have no new deals for you. I did go back to Bi-Lo and got the onions for .79. It's up to Rick to plug them into the menu somehow. The 30 boxes of veggies? Rick, at first, told me he was going to take them to the food kitchen downtown and donate them. I put my foot down. We still have them. Luckily, I bought a few boxes of brussel sprouts. He loves those nasty little things. That mollified him a bit.

We found a dog a couple of weeks ago, wearing a collar but no tags or I.D. We advertised everywhere we could think of and no one has come forward to claim her. So, we put an ad in the paper to sell her. Rick doesn't want any money for her, but, he says that by putting a price tag on her, it will only attract people who really want a chocolate Labrador. He says that if he finds the right person, he will tell them, "Put your money away. I only wanted to know that you were serious." Anyway, I received a phone call this morning before 7:30 from a hearing impaired person. The operator read what the caller wrote on their device, then, typed in my response to the caller. She gave me an email address to contact her. I did that. I received an email back from her wanting to know where to send the check, as this was the only way she had to pay for the dog. She said she was going to send more than the asking price and asked that I keep my portion and send the rest by Western Union to the shipping company for picking up the dog and shipping to her. Sounds like some kind of scam to me. This dog is only going to someone with whom I can have a face to face discussion of how they are going to treat her. I don't know, but, her email just creeped me out.
