	'Cookie Monster' Case Gets Nastier Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

quote: 'Cookie Monster' Case Gets Nastier Thursday, February 17, 2005 DURANGO, Colo. — A hearing on a restraining order was scheduled Thursday for the family of one of two girls ordered to pay $930 in medical bills to a woman who claimed the delivery of a plate of cookies scared her to the hospital. Dick Ostergaard, father of Taylor Ostergaard (search), 18, filed for the restraining order Feb. 4 against Wanita "Ranea" Young's (search) husband, who allegedly made harassing calls to the Ostergaard residence. Both families said they would try to mediate the matter. Taylor Ostergaard and Lindsey Jo Zellitti (search), 18, knocked on the Youngs' door and left a plate of cookies on the porch late one night last July. Young, 49, said nobody answer when she asked who was there and she could see only shadowy figures that ran away to a car parked outside the gate. The incident happened at her isolated country home where she was with her teen daughter and elderly, ill mother, while her husband was out of town. Young said she hasn't returned to her part-time job at Wal-Mart (search) and might have to give up the presidency and her seat on the board of the local food bank, a post she's held for 16 years, because of the negative attention she's received. She's received hundreds of crank calls, along with truckloads of "strange" packages—some containing cookies or cookie crumbs. "All this over cookies," she said. "Our home is like a funeral parlor. They've robbed us of our laughter. My spirit, my soul, is damaged." Despite that, Young said she believes going to court was the right thing. "I don't know how to change. I don't know how to compromise my principles," she said.

My soul is damaged! Oh the horror!

Ohh the negative image, and she got tons of more free cookies? This woman can't appreciate anything. Crank calls might suck though, but she 'kept' with her principles. I guess he lost the lesson too losing this game. That makes her a LOSER.

PS for the record, I sued my neighbour for dropping me a 5 euros to my mailbox. It gave me the scares. I sued him for all of his money.

I don't understand the case at all. A family (Young) has been harassing and trying to extort money from another family (Ostergaard), because the Ostergaards have snekly delivered cookies to their house? Do I get this right?

The Ostergaards should be let off, as it's a Danish surname, and obviously with a name like that they would never want to cause harm to anybody.

The Youngs and the Zellittis however, should pay dearly for this if there's any justice.

Good. I hope the ***** has a heart attack and dies face down in a package of cookies. She's such a retard she deserves to keep making minimum wage at Wal-Mart.

My favourite part is that she's still playing the victim, 'feel sorry for me everyone, please I'm victim' after she doesn't think twice about NOT suing bunch of teen girls from next door who brought her cookies because they were sweet like that. She had her time to not sue. She got her chance even more when they tried to settle it with her. But no. She deserves this, it's just that simple, and now she should shut up and take it. but does she do that? Oh no.. now we should fee sorry for her because people send her more cookies because they're so evil.

I knew there had to be more to this story:

http://www.cortezjournal.com/asp-bi...ews050215_9.htm

quote: In the midst of all of the media coverage, Young said most people continue to overlook or ignore the fact that his wife was physically assaulted by a neighbor 15 years ago - "something that obviously influenced her reaction when, home alone with her 86-year-old mother and one of our daughters, she heard this horrible banging on our door at 10:30 at night and saw shadowy figures outside our house."

Given the past assault, I can see why the current incident would send her to the hospital.

Of course, then they lose any sympathy I might have mustered...

quote: So after praying about it, we decided to fly to New York and accept 'Good Morning America's' invitation.

Prayer: "Oh Lord, what should we do?"
God: "Thou shalt go on GMA."

15 frikking years ago? Get over it. Also, where can I find these "sue the cookie-bringers" principles? I bet she could make $930 easily by selling the cookies she's had delivered as well.

The girls families offered to pay the medical bills before the woman refused and decided to sue.

really? well I like playing devil's advocate. Somebody had to look at the other side. But it's kind of hard defending this woman.

I don't feel sorry for the woman at all. It's some cookies, for chrissakes.

She loses, and it's her own damn fault.
