I Love Girl Scout Cookies !

Do-Si-DosThin Mints

This afternoon in front of the Waterstone Plaza Publix I bought two boxes of Girl Scout Cookies for $3.50 a box. I bought the Do-Si-Dos (Peanut Butter Sandwich) as well as the Thin Mints.

Girl Scout Cookies are the most delicious cookies in the entire world, and I always search them out during this time of the year (the middle of January through the beginning of February). The fact of the matter is that if they were available year-round then I would be buying them year-round as soon as I run out of them.

Maybe I should have bought more than two boxes. These cookies could be gone by the end of this weekend !

As a Boy Scout during the late-1970s we went door-to-door selling boxes of Krispy Kreme original glazed donuts. Occasionally we got caught eating away at the profits !

GOOD TIMES !

Hoaxes Internet

Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame

I’m starting a new weekly feature here on ‘The Major’s Life Blog’. In the grande tradition of the ‘Life Pointe Church Sunday Morning Tossed Salad’, the ‘Tuesday Night Grab Bag O’ Thoughts’, and the ‘Friday Night Blogroll Review’ I now present to you the ‘Thursday Night Internet Hoax Hall-Of-Shame’.

It’s where I take a current (and recurring) internet hoax / urban legend / chain letter that keeps appearing within our E-MAIL inboxes, and expose it for what it’s worth. They are forwarded to us quite innocently enough by our friends and relatives, but they are simply not true.

Here’s this week’s edition:

A local South Florida radio station announced earlier this week on their popular morning show that if you don’t hurry up and register your cell phone number with the ‘National Do Not Call Registry‘ by Midnight on the 31ST of January then telemarketers all over the world would have free reign to call you and send you text messages (at your expense) to your cell phone.

THIS IS AN INTERNET HOAX !

This hoax has been circulating for the past 3½-years now, and it keeps popping up over and over again as something brand new that’s getting ready to happen. Not true.

Read all about it.
