Crime doesn't pay.

Oh 2012 you have come in with a ROAR!!!. We have been so very busy that I don’t think my family or my staff have left work before 7:30 pm at the earliest each night. This means dinner before 8 pm is not happening. My belly and my disposition have a thing or two to say about that... GRRR!!!

I am excited that I got a promotion and for once my teeth have finally been put to work. I am guarding our house. Some scam artist put it up for rent on Craigslist without our knowledge. Imagine my family’s surprise when random strangers started to show up at our house to view it before they rent it. Imagine their surprise when my mom let them know that my teeth are top of the line and in perfect working order and that trespassing is a crime. Luckily we had very nice people trying to rent our house that gave us all the information we needed to track the criminal down.

 I am glad that I have one more thing I can add to my resume for skills; I have been appointed CEBB or Chief Executive Butt Biter. Knowing that my family trust me to guard my house filled my little heart with pride. I take my family very seriously as most of you know, so it seems this job was tailor-made for my unique set of skills. 

Crime seems to be a hot topic this week. It seems like there is no accounting for the amount of time people have on their hands from hararssing my mom through the mail for her articles printed in the West Hawaii today. Apparently she gets an “F” and in red pen none the less. Mom found out that this type of thing is actually a huge deal legally and gave the documents to the authorities. We also found out that slanderous remarks and bogus online reviews all have a traceable electronic signature. It is like a fingerprint and it is not erasable just by deleting the post. This is very interesting since we seem to live in a world with people with nothing better to do. The good thing for new and upcoming legislation is that the giant cloud of online anonymity is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Slander and impeding a business are legal issues punishable by law. 1st amendment rights aside, some things are just not okay and for those who do such things, there are legal ramifications. Like my good buddy Mc Gruff says, lets take a bite out of crime.

Speaking of teeth, NATIONAL DENTAL AWARENESS MONTH is coming up quickly. February is just around the corner and we are already filling up.
