cin Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Based on my extensive watching of reality television, the initial raid would have probably happened WAY before 8 am. :tongue_smilie: :iagree: :smilielol5::smilielol5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayT Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 The walled in part of the garage is strange. Maybe they were cooking drugs out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 ICE for sure, and there is a Homeland Security and Border Customs truck. Okay, this is very important. Are the decals on the border/customs truck blue or green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrothead Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Oooooh, what is the difference between blue and green??? There is a big rivalry between blue and green. It became much worse when blue and green merged under DHS. Blue will not like to be mistaken for green. Green is adamant they they are not blue.

Denisemomof4 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 As soon as I find other information, I will let you all know! But, I won't have time to make cupcakes since I have to keep abreast of all this. :lol: that's ok, Jen, we understand. A quick little act of mixology is all it takes for the cupcake shots.

Denisemomof4 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I would NOT bring cupcakes. Not every federal agent thinks bringing cupcakes to a raid is a warm, kind, and generous thing to do.... :iagree: I don't need to tell you not to bring the cupcake shots, to save them for the Hive party, so I won't bother.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TammyinTN Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Holy moly! I hate when things like that happen in our neighborhood. When we lived in Barstow,CA one morning I looked out the window and ATF, FBI and local police were raiding our neighbors home. The father was dealing drugs to keep his daughter in college.:001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I believe that the correct attire for such an occasion is: Yellow and black tartan kilt Yellow short sleeved, 50's style sweater with black scarf charm bracelet with bees open toed black sandals with yellow flower or pom pom decoration yellow toe and nail polish bright red lipstick The participating hive member should be carrying a tray of bee shaped cut-out cookies properly decorated, cupcakes with pale yellow frosting and dark chocolate sprinkles, cupcake shots, AND sporting a teapot with the phrase "Make teA not war" painted on the side! Up and down the sidewalk she goes offering refreshments to journalists and posing for the cameras! Faith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
