Couple take lumps since cookie suit
Denver Post ^ | Feb. 17, 2005 | Electa Draper

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.

I apologize for insulting female canines. They can't help being what they are but Madame nutbag could with only minimal effort. Such as stop suing at the drop of a hat.

I rarely use foul language in any case so it is easy to stop but some people almost demand its use. Such as those who try and make the lives of nice young ladies miserable. How sweet turnabout is.

Didn't say you called anyone names. Said I got you confused with all those who are name callers.

You need to be careful no matter where you live, so this argument of "you must be careful because you live in the country" in bunk.

I live in a condensed city area. I think I have more reason to fear for criminals and trespassers than country folk do.

My grandparents live on a farm in rural Iowa. The closest neighbor is at least a mile away. They don't get spooked when they hear a knock on the door. They have had knocks on the door late at night because neighbors/friends needed help. Not once did they sue.

"Would you pay the bill if you were in their situation? Actually, yes. And I would have taken my children there personally to apologize."

OK, BushisTheMan - I've read most all of the posts and news stories, and read your responses, and I still don't get WHY you would punish the girls IF they were your daughters. WHAT exactly did they do wrong? Help me out on this one, please.

Dude. Calm down.

I'm not putting words in the mouth of anyone. I do believe that SOME folks around here will shoot anything that moves. I think its incredibly sad that people think the girls aren't lucky they weren't shot for knocking on someone's door.

And those are MY words - no one else spoke them. Get a grip.

These are pretty standard Blue State people and they need a lot more than a little treatment for anxiety - they need the best professional help they can get!

Uhmm...this was Rural Colorado...pretty red there I think.

Most Blue State grandmothers I know are tougher than this cow.

Nice excuse on the parents part. But in the end the court said they had to pay...and likely didn't make her sign the agreement (at least I haven't read that the court did that anyway).

You have every right to your opinion but don't waste our time with this kind of futile stupidity.

ANY attorney worth his salt would have advised the girls' parents not to pay a dime unless the Youngs signed off on coming back for second or third helpings.

If you were dealing with somebody weird enough to be suing you for a cookie delivery I'm quite sure, as evidenced by your posts, that you'd be silly enough to cough up without a second thought.

And those that attack her and her family trump her in spades.

In case you missed it, that means whatever you just called her is what you are ten times over.

The vitriol against that family is insane.

It is one thing to be against frivolous lawsuits and such, but look at the posts and listen to those who call her a harpy and a bitch.

My goodness, She hasn't got nothing on you guys.

Isn't it funny to read the posts talking about how mean Mrs. Young is?

They even say SHE is what is wrong with society...as they place harrassing phone calls to her home.

I guess some people are too stupid (and vicious) to get the irony.

LOL

As could those who find the energy to get all worked up over Mrs. Young.

I think they need your prescription even more.

I should add, as could you and others who find the need to attack other posters for a different pov.

Chill

The old bitty is just looking for another suit. She got a taste of money and wants more of it.

Interesting. I went back over my posts, and I attacked no one for a point of view. In fact, I didn't attack anyone at all. I just suggested that there were some who need to chill, as you are suggesting to me. But thanks for your concern. :)

Are you sure that's what you meant to say?
