    Yes this one was true. It was on the news and in the paper.

    Urban Legends?

    Whew, sure glad to hear that!!! I do remember when the woman received the McDonald's award, though. The award was actually meant to be punitive to McDonald's because at the time, coffee was being kept at a very high and dangerous heat in many fast food type places. I remember scalding my tongue on more than one occasion! No wonder the coffee was so yucky.
    In awarding, they usually determine damages (for the plaintiff) and then punitive damages (to the defendant) I believe - ? Anyone?

    Wow! I can't believe that all of these people were awarded so much money for such stupid lawsuits. What's this world coming to?

    Nina: I don't think Candy was yelling at you specifically, she was just trying to make a point to us in general.

    Candy stated that these are false, URBAN LEGEND.

    If you can't play nice, don't play at all. I have only been on a couple threads with the 2 of you and I am already sick of it. LEAVE EACH OTHER ALONE!!! We don't want to see it on our posts. I agree this is a mindless thread, but if it was about one of our pets and the 2 of you went at it, I would not be happy. And I know others wouldn't be either. We just lost a member b/c of this kind of behaivor. If you want to play "tag your it" or "I'm rubber your'e glue, what bounces off me sticks to you" then PM or email each other, for goodness sake.

    Thank you Staci for your kind words.

    Nina: I was not yelling at you and I apolagize that you took it that way. I was just trying to emphasize that these are false and was happy to report that they were. So many times our justice system fails to do what needs to be done and I was glad that these ridiculous claims were proven to be false. I know the McDonalds case was real but the rest are not.

    Puffin: I agree with Staci. This is not a site that enjoys the satire of sick humor. Please stop the unnecessary poking and demeaning of other members. That is not what Pet Talk is about. It is to the point that I don't even want to read your posts and I can honestly say I have never had a problem like that on Pet Talk before!

    Well, you quoted my post, so it was for me, but never mind anymore. I'm not mad or anything
