30lbs of Shrimp
LizThis sounds like someone had a small case of the munchies. They should consider using some fat burners to ease those cravings.
Someone broke into a Chinese restaurant in Akron and stole 30lbs of frozen shrimp and 6 forks. When I saw the headline originally I thought maybe someone was stealing food for a wedding reception or some other kind of party. Then I looked again. Six forks? That’s all? Each person gets 5lbs of shrimp to themselves? How funny! They should be careful though.
I used to work in a seafood restaurant chain and we’d have all-you-can-eat shrimp Tuedays (or Monday). People would honestly try to scarf down pounds of shrimp. The biggest eater inevitably ended up vomiting. Shrimp in excess can make you very, very sick.

Bed Bugs
According to the Akron Beacon Journal, Ohioans have a huge problem with bed bugs.
Infestation grows
The apple seed-sized blood-suckers were almost exterminated in this country in the 1950s thanks to the chemical DDT, vacuum cleaners and better hygiene.
Why the bugs have re-emerged in recent years is a mystery, but it might be because of the popularity of travel to other countries, where the vermin were never eliminated, said Susan Jones, an entomologist with the Ohio State Extension Service.
Americans returning from other countries or foreigners coming here might unknowingly bring the little hitchhikers into this country in their luggage, purses or backpacks.
I remember when I was young my grandparents would say: “Good night. Sleep tight. Don’t let the bed bugs bite.” I had no idea what bed bugs were, but the phrase was kind of catchy. My great-grandmother told stories of children waking up with bites all over their bodies from the little blood suckers. I was glad I didn’t have to worry about them. Guess that’s going to change.
Does that mean my fantasy trip to the Outer Banks is out? Hmm, no. I’ll risk it.
