DRIGGS, Idaho (AP) — Dawn Wells, who played Mary Ann on "Gilligan's Island," is serving six months' unsupervised probation after allegedly being caught with marijuana in her car.
She was sentenced Feb. 29 to five days in jail, fined $410.50 and placed on probation after pleading guilty to one count of reckless driving.
Under a plea agreement, three misdemeanor counts — driving under the influence, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance — were dropped.
On Oct. 18, Teton County sheriff's Deputy Joseph Gutierrez arrested Wells as she was driving home from a surprise birthday party that was held for her. According to the sheriff's office report, Gutierrez pulled Wells over after noticing her swerve and repeatedly speed up and slow down. When Gutierrez asked about a marijuana smell, Wells said she'd just given a ride to three hitchhikers and had dropped them off when they began smoking something. Gutierrez found half-smoked joints and two small cases used to store marijuana.
The 69-year-old Wells, founder of the Idaho Film and Television Institute and organizer of the region's annual family movie festival called the Spud Fest, then failed a sobriety test.
Wells' lawyer, Ron Swafford, said that a friend of Wells' testified that he'd left a small amount of marijuana in the vehicle after using it that day, and that Wells was unaware of it. Swafford also said several witnesses were prepared to testify that Wells had very little to drink at the party and was not intoxicated when she left. He said she was swerving on the road because she was trying to find the heater controls in her new car.
That IS a big WTF.

Make a rub out of red pepper, cracked black pepper, crushed garlic cloves and whatever dried herb of your liking.Mix and match to find one you enjoy.
Cook on a flat or shallow pan in the oven at 375 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes depending on the thickness of your chops.

Feta cheese and pine nuts go together so well. Since you've turned vegetarian you should try this salad. Watermelon, a little feta cheese, pine nuts, and some fresh crushed mint. Top that off with a little olive oil... delicious.

My previous place of employment makes me go WTF.
...
So. For the past 2 weeks, 3 different people from my previous company have gone out of their way to pursue me to apply for a job on their team (I had just left the company 7 months ago because there were no promotions available and I needed to grow professionally - and get a raise).
Ok.
Now, my current job makes me happy. It pays a lot and it's challenging, so the idea of going back to my previous employer... Gives me pause.
But. The previous company continued to pursue (including a LUNCH MEETING with the Hiring Manager of that team who said that I WAS A FRONT RUNNER for the job, that they did NOT want to hire outside the company and preferred someone with experience with this company, not to mention this job would come with a 15K/year raise and business travel to Prague).
Ok. Excellent.
A week ago I applied for the job.
This Wednesday (4/9) I LIED TO MY MANAGER and told them I had a doctor's appointment so that I could attend AN HOUR AND A HALF LONG INTERVIEW which was grueling and stressful. I got LOTS of positive feedback (I had worked with the interviewers and they were "impressed" with the professional growth I had accrued over the past 7 months).
TODAY I got a call from the HR rep who told me... THEY WANT TO GO WITH THE OUTSIDE HIRE.
SO.
After being ASKED TO APPLY. After being TOLD I WAS THE FRONT-RUNNER. After being TOLD THAT THEY WANTED SOMEONE WITH PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE. They hired someone else.
That was an absolute unnecessary blow to the ego.

So. For the past 2 weeks, 3 different people from my previous company have gone out of their way to pursue me to apply for a job on their team (I had just left the company 7 months ago because there were no promotions available and I needed to grow professionally - and get a raise).
Ok.
Now, my current job makes me happy. It pays a lot and it's challenging, so the idea of going back to my previous employer... Gives me pause.
But. The previous company continued to pursue (including a LUNCH MEETING with the Hiring Manager of that team who said that I WAS A FRONT RUNNER for the job, that they did NOT want to hire outside the company and preferred someone with experience with this company, not to mention this job would come with a 15K/year raise and business travel to Prague).
Ok. Excellent.
A week ago I applied for the job.
This Wednesday (4/9) I LIED TO MY MANAGER and told them I had a doctor's appointment so that I could attend AN HOUR AND A HALF LONG INTERVIEW which was grueling and stressful. I got LOTS of positive feedback (I had worked with the interviewers and they were "impressed" with the professional growth I had accrued over the past 7 months).
TODAY I got a call from the HR rep who told me... THEY WANT TO GO WITH THE OUTSIDE HIRE.
SO.
After being ASKED TO APPLY. After being TOLD I WAS THE FRONT-RUNNER. After being TOLD THAT THEY WANTED SOMEONE WITH PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE. They hired someone else.
That was an absolute unnecessary blow to the ego.
WTF?!
DIE IN A FIRE.
That's what you get for lying.
Seriously though, there was a reason you quit the first time as you said and I'm sure that eventually another reason would have popped up. Sounds like you should just stay away from that place. I'm sure the cliche brigade will be battering my door down for saying this but it's probably for the best.

You're right, though. I mean, it was shit like this that made me leave in the first place. Honestly. Their hiring practices - Pretty fucked up. And I am happy where I am.
But the ego blow... Just... Not... Necessary.

this made me go WTF this morning - and i had a good laugh.
It was a soundbite on the radio from one of the hockey players in the Montreal game last night. (not intended to be funny - in fact i dont think anyone picked up on this)
It was a guy who scored a goal and had an assist - he was talking about the atmosphere in the arena .
(i'm paraphrasing the first part - cant remember every word)
"the crowd was very excited, making lots of noise. They were so loud we couldn't hear each other think"
so what - when the crowd isn't loud the Montreal Canadians have the ability to read each others minds ?
a telepathic NHL team ?

Haha, I like that. It's a wonder they don't pass better though.
I thought ALL you Canadians were telepathic.....something to do with the cold....or living near Santa Claus....or something.
