Please - whomever is circulating this cookie recipe - please remove my name from the address.

The first time I heard this story it was 40 years ago, and it was See's Candy. The last time I heard this was two years ago, and it was Neimans - and I heard the cookies weren't all that good. ---------- > From: Choo1bill@aol.com > To: brenhebert@olynet.com; BRUNNER-L@rootsweb.com; GENBRIT-L@rootsweb.com; berryrg@halcyon.com; DonBea@aol.com; gbeatty@web.compuserve.com; PAARMSTR-L@rootsweb.com; ANSLEY-L@rootsweb.com; ALSACE-LORRAINE-L@rootsweb.com > Cc: Acadian99@aol.com; Dbltroubll@aol.com; KINGSLEY@aol.com; Momeeeeeee@aol.com; EACyr@aol.com; NERVECAFE@aol.com; BrenHebert@aol.com; NECKAR-L@rootsweb.com; WOLFE-L@rootsweb.com; PAWESTMO-L@rootsweb.com; WATSON-L@rootsweb.com; WASHINGTON-L@rootsweb.com; waltenbaugh@nwu.edu; WALLACE-L@rootsweb.com; TRIER-ROOTS-L@rootsweb.com; THOMPSON-L@rootsweb.com; SWITZERLAND-L@rootsweb.com; STITT-L@rootsweb.com; SherDH@aol.com; sparky@portal.ca; SANDERS-L@rootsweb.com; RNPlatt@ix.netcom.com; Norton750@aol.com; int-sys@ix.netcom.com; NORWAY-L@rootsweb.com; ronm@westol.com; Missouri-L@rootsweb.com; london@listserv.northwest.com; LONDON-L@rootsweb.com; LEWIS-L@rootsweb.com; LEE-L@rootsweb.com; GENIRE-L@rootsweb.com; HOPKINS-CTY-L@rootsweb.com; GEN-DE-L@rootsweb.com; GEN-FF-L@rootsweb.com; GEN-FR-L@rootsweb.com; dutch-colonies-l@rootsweb.com; durham@listserv.northwest.com; NORTHUMBRIA-L@rootsweb.com; DAWSON-L@rootsweb.com; MSADAMS-L@rootsweb.com; BADEN-WURTTEMBERG-L@rootsweb.com; bute@listserv.northwest.com > Subject: Re: Expensive Cookie Recipe > Date: Friday, October 10, 1997 9:37 AM > > THIS STORY GETS BIGGER EVERY TIME THAT I HEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

STOP THIS DISCUSSION OVER ALL LISTS! The best way to keep such a bad thing alive is to discuss about it.

It may not be a joke--if not it is out and out fraud -- I first heard this story when I way living in the west in the late 70's early 80's. It could be considered slander if it got to the correct person. Whne they trace the emails the first sender found could be found liable. Mike Cross

Thanks, Brenda, for passing-on the expensive and exclusive N-M cookie recipe and for the funny, yet not-so funny story. Revenge, sometimes, can be "sweet!" I'll try to help out and e-mail the recipe to one of my son's at college and to my son and daughter-in-law overseas. Gary J.

Getting one cookie recipe was not a waste of my time. I like cookies. If you don't want the recipe...DELETE IT!!!! What I find annoying is the other 50 e-mails complaining about it.

I read it many months ago it was on the Adam Sandler's Home page. For those of you who don't know who he is, he's funny if you have a twisted sense of humor and your aren't offended by obscenities!! As long as Neiman Markus (sp) is out some money (and I didn't know they had a food department either, but I've heard the recipe is great!!) who the hey cares!!

THIS STORY GETS BIGGER EVERY TIME THAT I HEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT, THE RESTAURANT WAS THE TRAIN STATION IN ST. LOUIS. NOW , I SEE THAT IT HAS GONE TO TEXAS. MAY I POINT OUT THAT NEIMAN-MARCUS DOES NOT HAVE A RESTAURANT..................

Hi fellow listers, Can anyone tell of any orphanages that may have been in the Snohomsih Cty., (Everett) area between 1910-1920. My husbands father was put into one about that time. I am looking for an Edward Woods (b: June 1869 in Indiana) I have nothing on his family. My husband & his sisters don't know if their grandparents divorced or what happened. Their grandmother remarried a man by the name of Frank Ramage before 1920 census was taken. I have tried the WA State index, and found nothing for Edward Woods with that birthdate. I got that off the 1900 federal census for Sno Cty. Anyone have any ideas..where else to go with this? Would the court house in Everett have divorce records for that time period? What about birth records. His dad Paul Woods was born in Everett in 1904. Thank you, Darlene (Dittamore) Woods dittamore-woods@juno.com

Hello Washington Rooters I have just recently learned that I might have some "cousins" in Washington State, so I have signed on this list to enlist your help in finding the descendants of Margaret Ann DUBOIS of Ulster Co., N.Y. Margaret was born in Marbletown, Ulster Co., NY 3/3/1809. Married 5/5/1845 Ephriam BENJAMIN. Widowed by 1874, she then lived with her only daughter, Hattie [BENJAMIN] SEELY in Reno Co, Kansas and moved from there to Napavine, Lewis Co., Washington in 1880 til her death in 1900. Hattie BENJAMIN married D. SEELY ca 1865, probably in N.Y. These children names were learned from an obituary and a letter written after Margaret's death. 1. C. B. SEELY b: ca 1866 ? N.Y. {possibly name is Clyde} C. {?Clyde} B. SEELY was Methodist Episcopal (M.E.) Church minister and pastor in South Bend, Washington in 1901. He had son Clyde SEELY, b: Aug. 1898. 2. Loren SEELY b: ca 1876 {possibly in Kansas} Loren was a photographer in Everett, WA in 1900. 3. George SEELY b: ca 1880 {possibly Kansas or Napavine, WA} 4. Lillian Seely b: ca 1885 {probably in Napavine, WA Thanks for any and all clues. Please respond to me rather than list. Alice Owens Fluvanna Co, VA
