A Shopping Cart Story

I got home from work yesterday and there are a couple of water department trucks down the block with a huge hole in the ground. When I came inside, yep ... no water. Of course, when the water isn't working, I am feeling like I have to have a drink of water or I will just die. The water finally came back on everywhere in my house except the kitchen. Nice ... I can't do the dishes and that's just lovely.


You may be wondering what this picture is ... well, let me fill you in on the rest of my night after learning I had no water in my kitchen. I didn't want to sit here so I grabbed my boy (that's him but not the greatest shot in the world), called a couple girlfriends, and headed to this cute little pub just up the road.

We proceeded drink a little, all right ... a lot (vodka and WATER for me), and began talking about the parties that my best friend has. Well, she always passes out hundreds of jello shots and we decided she needed a shopping cart to carry them around the back yard. Seeing as how all the crackheads that live a few blocks from us are always stealing shopping carts from the grocery store, we were positive that finding one wouldn't be an issue.

Fast forward to 2 a.m. after leaving the pub ... we are turning onto my block and low and behold there is a shopping cart just sitting there ... begging us to take it! My boy jumps out of the car, grabs it, and begins running across the street ... RIGHT IN FRONT OF A COP!! The cop pulls him over as my girlfriends and I drive by. At this point, we are laughing hysterically but I am also freaking out and begging my sober driving friend to turn around and talk the cop into letting us take my boy home instead of taking him to jail.

In the meantime, my boy is talking to the cop and, according to him, it went something like this:

Cop - What are you doing, son?
Boy - Running down the street with a shopping cart.
Cop - I see that but why?
Boy - Because it's 2 in the morning, I'm drunk, and it seemed like a good idea.
Cop - This isn't the best neighborhood to be out in at 2 in the morning. Do you live around here?
Boy - Yep, 3 houses down there.
Cop - Leave the shopping cart, go home, and go to bed.
Boy - Are you sure I have to leave the shopping cart?
Cop - Are you sure you want to go home and not to jail?
Boy - I'm going. Have a good night, sir.

So, the cop leaves and my boy grabs the shopping cart and runs down the street to our house, losing one flip flop on the way. And then we took this picture. The shopping cart is now in my garage awaiting an extreme make-over before being delivered to my friend's house for her next party.

Anybody got any good ideas for an overhaul? I think we need to add big handlebars and paint it a shiny pink.

Sorry for the long post but I had to share that story. Tonight is girl's night out. Let's hope it goes a little more uneventfully!!

I LOVE the tire idea! Plus, big tires would make it easier to push on the grass.

According to [url=http://www.agoshow.net/Red-Sox-15-Dustin-Pedroia-2010-All-Star-red-Jerseys-65/]Red Sox 15 Dustin Pedroia 2010 All Star red Jerseys[/url] a release, the Company has entered into an agreement dated May 12, to deal and negotiate exclusively with Juniper through June 11, regarding a merger transaction. During this period, the Company has agreed not to initiate, solicit, negotiate, discuss or enter into [url=http://www.agoshow.net/Yankees-24-Robinson-Cano-Red-2010-All-Star-Jerseys-61/]Yankees 24 Robinson Cano Red 2010 All Star Jerseys[/url] an agreement with or provide any information to any third party with respect to any alternative business combination. The $2.25 to $2.30 per share range in the Letter Agreement reflects a negotiated increase from a $2.05 to $2.10 per share range Juniper initially proposed in its letter dated May 10, to the Company.
The Letter [url=http://www.agoshow.net/Phillies-6-Ryan-Howard-Blue-2010-All-Star-Jerseys-53/]Phillies 6 Ryan Howard Blue 2010 All Star Jerseys[/url] Agreement is subject to, among other things, satisfactory completion of Juniper's due diligence review of the Company, the receipt of financing by Juniper and the negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable definitive merger agreement containing customary terms and conditions. The Letter Agreement provides that Juniper expects any definitive merger agreement between the Company and Juniper would contain an appropriate "go shop" provision allowing the Company, for a period [url=http://www.agoshow.net/Rays-13-Carl-Crawford-Red-2010-All-Star-Jerseys-47/]Rays 13 Carl Crawford Red 2010 All Star Jerseys[/url] of 30 days from the date of execution of a definitive merger agreement, the ability to solicit interest from third parties in connection with an alternative business combination.
No final decision has been made to engage in a merger transaction or similar business combination with Juniper or any other party. The Board continues to evaluate strategic alternatives, including Juniper's proposal, consistent with its fiduciary duties to act in the best interest of the Company's stockholders. There can be no assurance that any definitive merger agreement will be entered into or, if entered into, what the terms thereof will be, or that this or any other transaction will be approved or consummated. The Company does not intend to comment further regarding this proposal or its evaluation of strategic alternatives unless a specific transaction is recommended by the Board.
The Company is being advised in this process by its financial advisor, VRA Partners, and its legal advisor, Bryan Cave.
Theragenics Corp. operates two business segments: its surgical products business and its brachytherapy seed business.
