Durango - Herb Young turned the telephone off again Tuesday after it rang at 12:40 a.m.

One recent caller had told him that "you should be found dead in a ditch."

Nine out of 10 calls to his house are from "crackpots," he said, ever since a plate of cookies and a case in La Plata County Small Claims Court turned life upside down.

Ann Archy.....come out of your shell

These girls are lucky they were not shot for their charitable prank.

You sound disappointed. Yes, it's too bad a couple of young ladies weren't mowed down in a barrage of bullets as they tried to leave a plate of cookies. I'll bet you wish you were the one pulling the trigger. You'd feel so much better, wouldn't you?

Yea, usually the grumpy ones outnumber the reasonable ones.

You're correct of some folks perception of rural living. Around these parts, it is considered rude to make phone calls after 9:00 pm, much less visit a home unexpected expected unless there is an emergency.

Those who are TPing homes must live in the city or one of those subdivisions in the "country". I'd like to seem them face the yard dogs when trying it on a rural home. In fact, I am surprised the woman did not have any outside dogs to sic on the shadow.

"They've robbed us of our laughter. My spirit, my soul, is damaged."

If you're suing kids over late-night cookie deliveries, I'm guessing there wasn't much laughter in the first place.

Reading the posts here, I'm beginning to think dts32041 may be Sarah Brady. It's one of the best cases for gun control that I've run across.

You may be on to something.

I don't advocate violence against the harridan, of course, but really, suing two girls for doing a good deed? How did she think people were going to react?

[Ann Archy]

In the article the SHERIFF told the women to LEAVE their house for the night!!!! Geesh....put yourself in their shoes for just ONE second.

[iconoclast]

LOL!

"president of the board and director of the Durango Food Bank"

Food Bank? Maybe she thought the two girl were going to be competition, so she sue them to get them out of the food giving business - just a thought. sarcasm off

You would let your daughter go out at 10:30 at night to deliver cookies ANONYMOUSLY??? You can NOT be serious.....and you would EAT COOKIES that you didn't know who left on your doorstep??? I really doubt it.

If they were shot it would be by some idiot who failed to identify his target, and therefore is a criminal who belongs behind bars.

I wouldn't be in her shoes because I'm not a nut like she is. Sorry.

[chemainus]

have....only a twerp or instigator would call the sheriff over coolies....and the sheriff is probably a DimmerCrat Apointee...and probably shops for free at the food bank run by his sob sister

[Fiddlstix]

I dont' advocate obscene calls, but in my heart there's nothing but a little violin for this harridan.

Me too!

I wouldn't eat cookies, but please. A knock at the door at 10:30 induces mental illness? LOL

[chemainus]

I hate repeating myself

[cyborg]
