Room for Jell-O
If I knew you were coming I’d a baked a cake: A Massachusetts woman returning home from Las Vegas says a Transportation Security Administration agent confiscated a cupcake she was carrying because the frosting was too much like a gel barred by TSA rules.
Earlier, the TSA agent, who had forgotten his lunch, confiscated a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, a container of Jell-O and 15 jelly beans.
Here come the brides: The Northwest Bridal Showcase, scheduled for Jan. 14 and 15, has moved from its previous location at Comcast Arena in Everett to ballrooms at the Tulalip Resort Casino.
Along with additional room that the showcase sought for vendor booths and a fashion stage, the move to the casino also provides prospective brides with a convenient day care with bright lights and ringing bells to keep fiances entertained.
Where’s the on switch? The Sno-Isle Library in Stanwood is inviting adults who may have received Kindles, Nooks and other e-readers as holiday presents to one of five drop-in sessions to learn how to use them and borrow digital books from the library.
And for the kids, we suspect the library staff would also be happy to demonstrate how to operate the low-tech devices known as books, including how to open a cover and the proper use of a bookmark in finding one’s place.
