OK. Here is somehting that has me scatchin my head.
How can a poster that has been around since Feb 2004 and have 3,734 post, have -9 rep points? That is just wierd. I know back in the day you used to be able to give negative reps but since 2004 they have not been able to get any positive points. Wierd. Just wierd. Scratchhead
Are you talking about irons? He got off on getting negative reps for some reason. After it was changed he never posted in a forum in which you could earn reps.

They took away negative reps *I think* mid 2005.

On topic....anyone else's GB section look like crap?? I went today to check out clearance....still 30%...and a few vases and mirrors were broken.

Woman robs bank branch in Olathe


By The Kansas City Star, Mo.
Wednesday, February 13, 2008 5:10 AM CST


A woman holding flowers and a candy box that she claimed was a bomb robbed a bank and caused the evacuation of a SuperTarget in Olathe on Tuesday night.

The robbery occurred at 6:35 p.m. at the Capitol Federal Savings Bank branch in the SuperTarget at 119th Street and Strang Line Road, FBI spokesman Jeff Lanza said. The woman walked into the store holding the flowers and a candy box, said Officer Vickie Smith of the Olathe Police Department.

The box had protruding wires and she handed it to the teller, warning her not to put it down or it would explode.

The woman demanded money and took cash from the teller's cash drawers and left the store in an unknown direction.

Authorities were called, and they evacuated the store. An entire retail center, which includes other stores near the SuperTarget, was cordoned off by authorities for several hours until shortly before 10 p.m., Smith said. The bomb squad used its robot to pull the package outside of the store so it could be investigated.

Authorities discovered that the package was an empty chocolate box with a voltage meter and wires sticking out of it, Lanza said.

The suspect is described as a white female, 30 to 40 years old, 5 feet 5 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall with chin-length to shoulder-length dark hair. She was wearing a tan or dark overcoat with a dark blouse, leather gloves and black fur hat, and was carrying a light-colored shoulder bag.

There was no description of the vehicle the woman used.

Anyone with information is urged to call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS (8477).

[QUOTE=dspangler;10162235]Woman robs bank branch in Olathe

snip

Ahhhh....yes, I live in KC on the MO side, but was across the river shopping at the KS Targets that day. I left the Oak Park Store on 95th and was headed to 119th in Olathe but got turned around somehow and was headed the other direction (still not completely sure of my bearings on the KS side of KC). I was going to turn around, but decided that the baby and I had enough Target with 3 runs already completed and it was getting time for him to eat, so I just headed home. I get home and about 10 minutes into the show I am watching, a special report breaks in that there is an "incident" at the 119th Street ST in Olathe involving the FBIEEK! My husband just looks at me with this half smug/half dirty look and was like, didn't you and Josh just come from there...LOL. Anyway, they finally said at the 10 p.m. newscast that it had been a robbery at the bank inside the store and everyone had been evacuated, etc. etc.

Also, about three weeks ago, there was a shooting in the Independence ST parking lot on a Saturday afternoon. Seriously, I go there all the time. My husband was like, maybe someone is trying to tell you something...nice.shake head

This makes the 4th "Target" incident in KC in just under a year. Last Easter, a gunman killed two people on the way to the Target store at Ward Parkway. He was shot in the mall just outside the store. Then there was the abduction and subsequent murder of a young woman from the parking lot of the store on Quivira. Add in the shootings in the parking lot at the Independence store and the bank robbery in the store at 119th and Strang Line Road, and you've got to start wondering what's going on with the Targets in KC.

Ahhh, yes, thus the "Ward Parkway shooting" that the news refers to occasionally, I was not sure of the details on that. And, I knew about the Kelsey Smith abduction and murder, that happened right after we moved down here. I do think it is very strange about all the things surrounding the KC Targets. My husband already is irritated with my Targeting...any incidents in Liberty may just throw him over the edge.

I just made a perfectly ugly concoction of a birthday cake for my 6 year old.OMG DH gave it a sly look, called me Martha Stewart and then laughed!

My 6 year old (6 today!) took one look at it and proclaimed it the BEST birthday cake in the world, and "you're the best Mom ever!!"

Love truly is blind, and in my case blinded by Mommy tears.heart

I found me some MP (market pantry) juice yesterday and it scanned for $.59.... Omg, i was soo excited, kinda like i found a treasure or something, bcz it was my first time! So i was waiting in line to pay for all my things, and then this girl tells me that she can take me in her lane. So i gave her an item, and then my juice, and some other stuff... And so it scans for .59, and instantly she says "HOw much was this?" So im confused bcz "why is she asking, I MEAN, she just scanned it so she should know!" So i said "i think it said 59 cents." So she says "well, you have 8 in this! that's the price for one!" And so i said "i don't know, i thought i was getting a deal!" ANd so she calls the manager over, and the manager asked me if there were anymore. I said NO. ANd she was very hesitant about giving it to me for that price, and proceeded to say that this was put in error, it was supposed to be for the restaurant area... And at that point, im thinking she won't give it to me... ANd then she says "was there a price on the shelves for it? I said I DON'T KNOW..... And so she told the cashier to go ahead and accept it... And when the manager left, and after i gave her my cheese coupons (the only coupons i had), she scrutinized the first one, and the second one, and the third one, and 4th one.... (by that point, i was going to tell her "I have 7 of them and THEY ARE ALLLLL THE SAME!!"
But by the time she got to the 5th one, she just looked at it and rang it up...

What an annoyance! I went from being so excited to feeling like "here, take it, i don't want it if that's how it's going to be!"
