Old Folks Home---Nebraska

Hi,

I am unfortunately contacting you due to my ailing mother in law. She has been chronically ill for the past 5 years. She has refused surgeries, experimental drug treatments etc. She chalks it up to not wanting to experience more pain or be a "guinea pig". My family; my wife and 6 kids have grown very unfond of her. She is literally driving us all crazy and we think that it might be time to move her into your facility. We currently live in New York City but as she has always had her heart set on Nebraska for "retirement" . Our only concern is that her personality is quite unpleasant (really really unpleasant!). Our fear is that the staff might not want to deal with her...as in ignore her. We would of course completely understand but we are looking for a place where she will receive first class treatment. Anyhow, I'd very much love to hear back from you and figure out how to go from there.

Best,

Joam

JetBlue

Dear Jet Blue,

I recently was on a NYC subway car and was exposed to your ad campaign "Jetblue and you sitting in a tree". I was highly offended. I am apart of an ultra orthodox faith and believe that your first kiss should be on one's wedding day. I had to hide my children's eyes, field their questions ("papa what does that mean") and my wife felt visually raped. We all know what happens when you are in the tree; k-i-s-s-i-n-g. Shame on you.

Dear Patrick,

My name is Joam and I live nearby. I was very upset over the "part time jobs for the holidays filled" story. I was hoping very much to get one of those jobs. See I've got alot of animals, mostly strays and a sick wife to take care of. Folks around here need something to hold on to, even if it's just waiting for the phone to ring for a job opportunity.

Round Table Pizza

Dear Round Table Pizza

I was wondering if you could tell me what the maximum amount of pizza making materials each Round Table kitchen is equipped with. In other words, how many maximum pizzas can the average RT franchise make before running out of materials? I am opening a pizza shop called "Square Couch Pizza" and am wondering how many supplies a high volume chain has on hand.

Thanks,

Joam

PS. I love love love love love your ranch dipping sauce

-----ROUND TABLE's RESPONSE--------

Hi Jeremy,

Most of our processes are trade secrets, but in general, I can tell you that there isn't a single formula. You've got to anticipate your demand, consider product shelf life, etc. Maybe your suppliers can give you more help. That's about all I can say...

Best of luck to you.

BURGER KING

Hi Burger King Media execs.

My name is Joam and I am an actor and filmmaker. I would like to chronicle my adventures eating in Burger King's across the United States. I would start my journey in New York City and hopefully end my journey in Los Angeles. My primary focus is to document the joy your institution brings to the young road tripper. I have a great love for BK and just wish to spread it (as well as stomp out the evil empire of Mcdonalds). I was hoping that you would sponser this endeavor or at least provide me with an official BK mascot King costume. I feel that wearing the costume would add a very comedic element to it as well as even more media exposure.

Please let me know your thoughts,

Bodum French Press

Hi Bodum,

I recently bought a Bodum 8 cup french press. I often make myself a cup of coffee while eating what I have deemed my "european breakfast". I have a problem however, I cannot have children. I have tried and the doctor has said that it is simply not possible. This troubles my partner and I immensely so much so that everyday things have become much harder. This includes, driving past schools,children birthday parties and making myself a cup of french press coffee as it involves me thrusting that long rod towards the liquid. Do you have any french presses that do not have the long rod? I don't want to co call phallic but it does represent my husband's inadequacies. I very much wish to continue having Bodum products in my home. Please help.

Respectfully,

Joam

Party Planning

Hi Party Planner,

I would like to plan a party and have been having a little trouble finding an event staff to help me. I would like to have a "Jesus' Birthday Party" celebration near the end of December. Some of my ideas are;
1. biblical food
2. live nativity scene
3. gifts for Jesus
4. Christian dj
5. an only christian waitstaff.
6. no Christmas trees or anything that reflects pagan values.
7. games for children with christian themes
8. Christian celebrity appearance. I would say somebody like Kristin Chenowith, only she played into satan's game by playing a witch on broadway, so somebody like her but with a clean performance history.

I know this is a lot, but it is indeed a special event and it's new york city, so we should be able to pull it off. Please email me back your interest and ideas.

Thanks,

Joam

---------------------------------------
Hi Joam,

Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate your event.

Yes, indeed, a special event. We would love to work with you, but our Christmas decorations are out the entire month of December. I am afraid that will not meet your requirements. Please keep us in mind for other event options.

Starbucks

Hi Starbucks,

I want to start out by saying that although expensive and yuppy, I very much enjoy the Starbucks experience. HOWEVER, I'm a little upset at how you misrepresent your hot "apple cider". It is apple juice not cider, that you sell. There is a difference. I brought this to the attention of one of your baristas and they dumbly replied "yes it's apple juice". YET it is advertised as apple cider. I would like my money back. I do not like apple juice, I only drink cider for religious reasons. I wanted to bring this to your attention. You may send a check or a voucher.

Thanks,

Joam

Hello Joam,

Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company.

I am very sorry that your hot apple cider drink was not enjoyable.

I want to assure you that I will be following up with the store and its management team in order to ensure that we are making these beverages correctly. Unfortunately, I am unclear at which store this happened. If you could please respond to this email with further information about the store location (such as cross streets), this would help us greatly. Please also feel free to take a look at our store locator at http://www.starbucks.com/retail/find/default.aspx for store information.

What I would like to do, is to invite you back to our stores to have a drink done right. I would be happy to mail you some beverage coupons so that your next drink will be on us.

Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to fix this situation. I assure you that we take feedback from our customers seriously and will use this as an opportunity to improve the experience for you.

If there are any questions or concerns that I have not been able to address, please don’t hesitate to call us at 800 23-LATTE (235-2883), we are here Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM (PST).

---------JOAM's RESPONSE-------

Dear Sharon,

Thank you very much for your response. It is nice to know that my concerns have been taken seriously. I would love to take you up on your beverage coupons offer. Perhaps as the apple cider drink enraged me so much, I shall try another beverage.

Charms Lollipops

Dear Charms,

I have started my 8 year old daughter on a diet consisting only of charms lollipops (due to food allergies) and she has started smelling a little like fermented fruit. She is allergic to fruit and I fear for her safety, if there are fruit bits in your pops. Is there real fruit bits in your pops? She must only eat artificial flavors.

Hi Delta,

I live in New York City. Your recent ad campaign that is featured on the subway proclaims "sleep is not a perk". Yet it is in reference to the "business elite" class, where you are providing fully reclining beds. Sleep is not a perk, agreed. Therefore, shouldn't you offer beds in all classes, including coach? This ad makes me uncomfortably mad.

JOAM's NOTE: Beyblades are essentially fancy looking spinning tops based off of a cartoon. Look them up for more information. They are taking over schoolyards everywhere.

Dear Hasbro,

Beyblades have taken over my life. i am facing beyblade battles on a daily basis and am afraid that somebody will defeat me. I have at this point about 10 beyblades...my favorite being the "Dark Bull". I am no longer speaking to my wife or kids as that what it takes to be an "ultimate beyblader" . I challenge people in grocery stores, playgrounds, dentist offices and most recently I held a challenge on the very rowdy street corner in the Bronx. I play for money or for "keeps". I recently got very depressed over how easily they seem to break. The material is cheap plastic. Are there any advanced beyblading reinforcement kits? I made a rubber reinforcers for all my blades using a pink eraser. I should have taken a photo. Now I am depressed that I didn't take one to upload. Can I please host an official BeyBlade championship?

Thanks,

Joam

HABROS RESPONSE

Dr. Laura

Dear Dr. Laura,

I was my kids dad. I just wanted to thank you for saving my marriage. I have a 15 year old daughter from a previous relationship that I had when I was a freshman in high school (live and learn!). Recently my current wife told me that she no longer wanted to be a step-mother to my daughter as my daughter is pregnant with her first child and my wife does not want to be a grandmother at the age of 26. As you can see, we have a fairly dysfunctional family unit. However, thanks to listening to your program. I learned that I need to cut ties with my daughter in order for her to have one less bad role model and sort of rebirth myself. I am now a christian man with firm values and a wife who stands by me. We are looking forward to restarting our life together and pushing control alt delete on the past. Thank you Dr. Laura, I feel free for the first time in my life to be my authentic self.

Yours in God

Iowa Public Radio

Dear Iowa Public Radio,

I have been a long time listener and sadly I have never had a penny to send your way (sigh). Iowa is such a vibrant state with a tremendous musical arts community that I believe rivals that of New York City. I am very proud to be a part of it. Lately, I have been doing some experimental music featuring the sound of flopping fish on a paint canvas mixed with leaves falling from a tree. I have made a cd featuring the melodic sound this reverberates to the universe. You'd truly be surprised at what a treat it is for the ears. I would love to send you a copy (free of charge of course) and maybe have it broadcast?

Yours in God,

Hi TGI FRidays (and thank the lord god created Fridays)

I wanted to see if it was possible to hold a revival at your restaurant. I'm thinking of just a few of my fellow pastors and I coming and seeing who needs to be saved in your restaurant. This of course would be volunteer, we would never lead somebody to the lord that had an unwilling heart. My thoughts are of coming next week to your NYC location as there are certainly a lot of folks in the big apple that could use saving. Thoughts,

Dear Celestial Seasonings,
It has come to my shocking attention that there is indeed chocolate tea. Did you sell my idea? I wrote to you last week in the strictest confidence.. just to find nothing from you in my inbox and everything chocolate in other companies tea directories.

I revoke my former chocolate idea and submit to you a new one; catnip tea. This is secret. Hush Hush.

Joam




Dear Celestial Seasonings,
I want to start by stating that I love your tea. I would like to suggest a tea flavor; chocolate. Imagine if you will a cold winter evening, a couple is nestled around the fireplace with a oversized mug in their hands with...chocolate tea!!! I think this could be a top seller...maybe adding peppermint to it as well. Just an idea.

Dear Fruit a Freeze,

Yesterday I ate 8 fruit freezes in a row...I think this is a record of sorts. I alternated between strawberry and pineapple. Honestly I think strawberry is the best. Are the strawberries organic?

BASKIN ROBBINS

Dear Baskin Robbins,

I am very disturbed. I recently purchased 3 scoops of "gold medal ribbon" ice cream and i felt that it was highly discriminative. First of all there are more people in this world than the blacks, whites and brown people that win gold medals. Many Many other ethnicities participate in the Olympic games. Asians for instance. Why are they not represented with yellow color of ice cream. Mangos perhaps? I am sure you are reading this in disbelief thinking I'm just another kook. But ask yourself this; am I participating in this vicious cycle of unjust success representation in America. I work for "Culturally Competent Partners" a firm of social workers that assist food based agencies in making culturally sensitives products. Our motto ; Love the Rainbow. If you do not remove/rename "Gold Medal Ribbon" immediately, I will call all the new agencies I have contacts at.

Hi PETCO,
I have a new product i would like to suggest. I am a small animal enthusiast. Always tinkering around with common human objects and adapting them to my "lil friends". I often wash my cats and guinea pigs in the tub. My cats are tall enough that their heads can stay above water, whereas my guinea pigs are too small and would surely drown if it weren't for the flotation device I made them (photos upon request). Is there some wort of underwater breathing apparatus currently on the market specifically for guinea pigs? I am thinking of devising scuba diving equipment. Thoughts?

Moles have been labeled for years as "pests" and "ugly" but they are animals just the same. I am positive that your products would be just as popular "pletherized" than with real skin.

Lake Edge Condos, Cleveland

Hi Lake Edge,

My domestic partner Paul and I are from New York City and due to work need to move to Cleveland. We are interested in buying a condo at Lake Edge and would like to set up an appointment. Paul is an avid swimmer, so a pool is a must...which is why your condos was such a big draw. As he has arthritic psoriasis, the temperature of the pool must be higher than 76 degrees. I know this seems like a weird question but what is the temperature the pool is kept at? Also, would it be possible to take a test swim when we view the condo?  We are very motivated.

Yours in God,

Dear Cracker Barrel,

I just recently returned from the south  and upon my return i announced to various co workers that I dined at  Cracker Barrel. To my dismay they called me a racist and declared that cracker barrel is "the MOST racist restaurant in the USA". Where does the Cracker Barrel stigma stem from? I loved my experience. I must have gained 10 pounds by the time the meal was over with. The triangle game got the best of me as well. I kept having 4  pegs left!!!

ANHEUSER BUSCH KING COBRA MALT BEVERAGE

Dear A B


 King Cobra malt beverage is targeted towards Harlem's homeless consumers?!!! Genius... freaking GENUIS!!!!  I've never seen it advertised anywhere else but Harlem and I cannot begin to count the number of people i have seen passed out on the sidewalk next to a can of COBRA. I have walked down stairs covered with nothing but fecal matter and COBRA cans. It's ideal really. They have very few people advocating for their choice of beer AND
they spend ALL of their hard earned street hustling money on your drink. Maybe this is what you want AB. A 50 something African American woman who lives on a sidewalk and mutters the varieties of grits.

Obviously you are smart, you have to be to turn out all the other quality beverages you manufactur.  Is the consumption of KING COBRA higher in HARLEM NYC than anywhere else in the nation? 

I would like to see some stats regarding my question. I think it is very interesting to manufacturer a beverage that is targeted to the homeless. SO SO clever!!!!

Did you initially set out to this or did it just sort of happen. I am truly interested. I also plan to target the homeless consumer , so i am seeking out business strategies.

Yours in God,

However, my daughter is marrying a japanese fellow and I fear that his family may not take a liking to me if I don't participate in their "culture". I plan on visiting your restaurant in the upcoming weeks. What is safe to try?


Yours in God,


Joam

AMPAD legal pads

Dear AMPAD,

I just wanted to take the time to let you know that i love love your 100% recycled legal pads. I use them for just about anything; writing love letters (to my lady friend sookie), corporal punishment (towards my not so keen daughter)and i even stapled the sheets together and made myself a shirt. I love the gray paper with the blue lines, it absorbs my papermate (sorry) black pens just perfectly. If you ever need a spokesperson, I am your man. God loves this paper, he told me in church last week and i pray nightly that i will always have an ampad in my bag.

Yours in god

____________________________

hanks for contacting Charmin, Joam.

We appreciate your interest in our products!  Charmin's original manufacturer was John Hoberg, a German immigrant who founded a company in his name in 1892. Charmin quickly became the most popular tissue product the Company made; and so, in 1953, the Company name was changed to Charmin Paper Mills.  P&G bought Charmin Paper Mills in 1957.  From 1957 until 1968, it was known as the Charmin Paper Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of P&G. In 1968 Charmin and its companion paper products (Bounty, Puffs, and White Cloud) became members of P&G's Paper Products.

Although the name pre-dates P&G's ownership of the brand, the story told is that the name came from the word "Charming." Someone repeated the word using a softer pronunciation of the letters "ch," as it might be in French, and dropping the final "g."

Thanks again for writing.  Hope this helps!

SOUTH DAKOTA VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOC.

Dear SDVMA,

I have a somewhat different question to ask. Are there any known cases of cattle with mental health issues? I believe my oldest sow who recently saw her calf off to slaughter has been incredibly moody and at times "mooing" to herself.She doesn't seem to be in touch with her reality. I know this may sound strange...but its a strange situation to deal with. None of the other cattle are acting this peculiar. I think this may be a result of losing her calf.Thoughts?

CHARMIN TOILET PAPER

Dear Charmin,

I first off want to say how much i love your toilet paper. It's the only product I trust "down there". I notice that sometimes you have faint designs in your paper. Is there a possibility to make a commemorative Michael Jackson image. I think that it would be wildly popular and a fantastic tribute to my very favorite pop idol.



Yours in God,
Joam

My mom told me that Charmin was named after the actress that played Liesl in the Sound of Music. Is this fact of fiction?

Dear Charmin

I've noticed that there is a bear featured on your packaging. He is very cute but I fear he may attract bears to my campsite when i am out in the wilds of maine. Has this been a problem with any of your other consumers?




Joam

Dear Charmin


I love using the toilet. It's a place where I can read,talk on the phone,eat and poop in private away from my children and wife. I always use Charmin TP...I especially love the funny but loving looking bear. He has become my mentor in a way. I know it sounds rather silly...but its true. I have a photo of him on my desk. He symbolizes HOPE to me...hope to poop, hope for love, hope to dream. Can i get an autrographed photo of the bear?



Yours in God,


Joam

Dear Charmin,

I have heard that you use parts of animal testicles in your toilet paper along with trees. Is this what makes Charmin so squeezable?

SNAPPLE

Dear Snapple,

I am the president of the "BAN SNAPPLE" club at NYU. We have heard that Snapple has ties to the KKK and we think that it is false advertising to claim that your ingredients are the "best stuff on earth". Infact there is very little from the earth in your drinks. On the matter of the KKK, I cannot believe that we as Americans have allowed Snapple to be held with such high esteem. I am not afraid of you snapple. I am not afraid. Until you relinquish KKK control and put real fruit juice into your beverages my classmates and I will not consume snapple products Yours in God, Joam

HARRY POTTER

Hi,


My name is Joam. I am 9 years old and love reading the Harry Potter books. I pretend that sometimes I am Harry and that I can help protect people with my powers. My parents won't buy me the books because they said it is satans way of getting into our minds. they say that Hermione is a bride of satan and that ron's hair is red because of lindsey lohan who is a lesbian.

At youth group they set them on fire because they have spells and god does not like witches and warlocks. I love the books and dont want to stop reading them. I read them really late at night so that nobody finds me. If i read them will i go to hell with all the aborted babies ? I think reading is fun and that god thinks it is ok. Harry is very nice and only fights bad guys not the good guys. what do you think?

OSH KOSH BGOSH

Dear osh bgosh,



I am a man of short stature. Ever since I was a young boy I have been wearing Osh kosh bgosh overalls. It is my "signature" look. I am now 35 years of age and have just officially outgrown your largest children's size. Do you sell clothing for little people? i need a larger size, where can I find a retailer for little people that carry the osh kosh brand? I prefer the carpenter style vs. denim. Also, I have a question i've been dying to ask. Where did the "bgosh" come from. I have an black friend who says it comes from a term used for slaves. I doubt this is true.


Yours in god


joam

RESPONSE

Hello Joam:


Thank you for e-mailing us. We are sorry, but we do not manufacture boy's clothing larger than a size 12 now. We wish we could help you. We do understand your need and wish we could help you more.

The word "bgosh" was born when William Pollack, bought half the company. He loved to go to Chicago for shows and one day while watching one he heard a cast member saud "b'gosh". It was catchy and trendy that the brand then became OshKosh B'gosh from there on.

If there is anything else that we can help you with please let us know.

RESPONSE: etch a sketch part 2

Best response ever.

Instructions;
1. drill several holes on the bottom of the unit (be careful, if you drill too far, you'll disturb the drawing on the glass)
2. carefully shake out the aluminum powder. Be gentle here . you dont' want to shake powder onto your drawing.
3. if desired, seal the holes with hot melt glue (small particles of powder can continue to emit from the holes)
4. Glue (with hot mell) the white knobs so that they cannot be turned.

The drawings are now "preserved" however they are still somewhat delicate and should be handled with care. The etch a sketch may be hung on the wall by using a plate hanger.



Dear Joam,


Unfortunately, we cannot retrieve the drawing your son did of your house and truly wish we could. In the future, please follow the instructions attached on how to preserve your EAS art.

Cordially,

Cathy

I was sadly stricken with color estamnia disease (estamnia coming from the latin word for lack of pigmentation) due to a very unfortunate accident in a wildlife park.  I am emailing you this as you are in the color business, which includes it's appearance. How would you describe the color "jupiter glow"? I love to hear how people describe colors. It makes living with this  rare illness a lot easier

Joam,

I would describe Classic Color #21—Jupiter Glow as a dark orange color with a slightly pink hue which reminds me of a salmon fish filet. How's that?

COORS

Dear Coors,

I recently turned 21 and a friend of mine gave me your product. He said you made "gourmet water" and that I should try it. It tasted  kind of funny to be perfectly honest and after a few cans I started slurring my speech, i couldn't balance, my face was flushed face and I had sex for the very first time! I believe in waiting until marriage to have relations with a woman and I don't believe this here product is "gourmet water". I think because i'm a seventh day adventist he took advantage of me. I want answers!

Dear Ohio Art,

I am writing in regards to the Etch a sketch I just purchased for my son. My son made a beautiful "drawing" of our house. It was incredible. HOWEVER, when he picked it up to show his grandparents the drawing disappeared. I would like this drawing back. I'm sure you store them on some database and perhaps can upload it back to his Etch a Sketch. I am willing to pay up to a $100 for this service.

You leave notes saying that you are there and that you have tried 3 times to make your delivery and now you will send this thing back. I leave signs letting you know where to drop things off.

DOMINOS PIZZA

Dear Dominos,

It has come to my attention that your cheese and pepporoni pizza causes intense flatuence. I did not know this when I ordered it and perhaps you should put some sort of warning label on the box. I am a graphic designer and can help you come up with a symbol. It is unfair for those that did not consume the pizza to have to suffer the consequences of their wife and children having a slice. I believe I have developed asthma not to mention the toxins floating around my internal organs.

COWETA BAPTIST CHURCH

Hi, I am looking for a church for my family and I to attend as we just moved to Coweta. I need somewhere accepting. I was just released from prison and am in the process of leaving my wife for another man I met while locked up; Jesus Christ. I want to give my 100% to him and that would leave no room for my wife and kids. I need a church that would be accepting of my decision. I would like to be somewhat of a baptist nun. I want to be married to Jesus. Please let me know if this is the right church for me.

KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN

Dear KFC,

I have an idea that could make you a fortune. Live chickens. I think it would enhance the customer's experience to choose their own chicken and have it butchered by an employee. It's the same idea as visiting a lobster house. If you use my idea, I would like compensation. I would love some feedback. Perhaps we can brainstorm together.

TEDDY RUXPIN

My Teddy Ruxpin doll just celebrated his 10th birthday. I adopted him from ebay a decade ago after having made the decision that although I was single I could parent a robotic bear.

Lately Teddy has been up to unusual behaviors...primarily smoking cigarrettes. His babysitter reported that she had caught him in the bathroom smoking this morning and I am afraid there is no manual on how to talk to a bear on this subject. Do you have any advice? I love Teddy but I have zero tolerance for smoking bears.

OLD NAVY

Dear Old Navy,

I was a navy man for many many years. I have long since retired and currently live in the mountains of Montana. My wife
told me about your store a few years ago. She has long since passed away. I was recollecting on our fun times together and felt I would take the time to write. I commend you for selling cast off clothing from the Navy. It is important that our youth grow up with a sense of Military pride. If you happen to come by a "Lt. Jeremy" stamp on issued clothing, please let me know as it be something of mine that I would be happy to autograph it for you store.


Yours in God,


Lt. Joam Jeremy

RESPONSE

Dear Joam,

Thank you for your interest in learning how Old Navy obtained its name.
Back in 1994 we were tasked with choosing a fun and distinctive name for
our exciting new brand. We received several suggestions such as
Monorail, Aboda, Easy Up, Elevator, and Forklift, but nothing seemed to
fit just right. Then some of our executives saw the words "Old Navy" on
the side of a building in Europe - and a brand was born. We think ?Old
Navy? says it all: fresh, energetic and modern style that we bring to
customers at an irresistible value.

Unfortunately, we do not offer vintage military uniforms. We truly
apologize for any disappointment this may cause.

We hope you find this information helpful. We appreciate your enthusiasm
for Old Navy and look forward to shopping with you soon!

Sorry, but mascots are not our style of approach. Can't we just sell good food and leave it at that? Come on, be reasonable!

CRISCO SAGA

Dear Crisco,

I recently moved back to the united states and was somewhat puzzled to see that Crisco was still going strong. I feel that a tub of lard/vegetable shortening should be illegial.what exactly is shortening? Is this healthy for American children?

Yours in God,

CRISCO's RESPONSE
Dear M. Jeremy,
This letter is in reference to your recent contact with Crisco. We appreciate the time you have taken to contact us and most certainly enjoy hearing from consumers who enjoy our products.
In response to your inquiry the following process is how our Crisco Shortening is made:
We purchase crude vegetable oils which we refine, bleach, deodorize, and partially hydrogenate.

Crude fats and oils contain small amounts of naturally occurring impurities such as resins and free fatty acids which hasten spoilage, contribute unwanted color, off-tastes, cause smoking and foaming at low temperatures. This processing removes these unwanted materials.

Again, thank you for taking the time to contact us. If you should have further questions or need additional information, please visit our website at www.crisco.com or contact us at 800-766-7309, Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. EST.
Sincerely,

Jodi XXXXX

JOAM's RESPONSE

Dear Ms Jodi,

Thank you very much for getting back to me (Ref # 8978490 ) but your response has left me even more questions. In your email you state: "We purchase crude vegetable oils which we refine, bleach, deodorize, and partially hydrogenate." Is it healthy to consume a product that needs to be refined, bleached and deoderized(?!?) before it is considered edible? Could you please forward me some documentation address this? As well, you state that "naturally occurring impurities...cause smoking and foaming at low temperatures." Again, how can it be safe to eat a product that smokes and foams naturally at low temperatures?

I must say that I am even more alarmed about Crisco shortening than I was when I first wrote to you.

Yours in God,

Joam Jeremy

Dear Jodi,

The website does not answer my questions. What is Crisco hiding?

CAMELBAK

Dear camelbak co.,


I love your backpacks!! I recently was gifted a small camelbak during this past years xmas holidays. I have taken it everywhere with me...including to the hospital. I had a bout of pnemonia 2 weeks ago and while in the hospital i refused all other containers for water usage and instead made the nurses fill my camelbak daily. It is a lifesaver literally. Thank you.


Yours in God,

LUCKY CHARMS CEREAL

Dear General Mills,

My entire life I have been told I look like the Lucky Charms leprachaun. I was adopted when I was 8 years of age and have little memories of my early childhood. I am convinced that I may have been the inspiration for your cereal. Who was the original model? Did he live in Kansas?

Yours in God,

Joam

RESPONSE
Dear Joam:

Thank you for contacting General Mills with your inquiry.

Our commercials and print ads are created, cast and produced by outside advertising agencies. Our company does not maintain detailed information regarding advertising, including such things as jingles, talent or props. We would like to honor each of the many requests we receive, but this would be impossible.

We appreciate your interest and hope you continue to enjoy our products.

Thank you Cathy for your response. I guess I'll keep on wondering who my birth parents were.

NYC PARKS DEPT.

Dear Commissioner,

It is cold outside and the rumor has it that the Hudson is starting to freeze over. Will New Yorkers be able to ice skate on its surface this winter?


Yours in God,
Joam

RESPONSE
Dear Joam,

Thank you for your email inquiry on ice skating on the Hudson.

Unfortunately, We have not heard of any ice skating taking place in the near future at the Hudson. It doesn’t appear possible given that the Hudson is a river in constant motion. You may want to contact the Hudson River Park Trust at 212-627-2020 as they may have information pertaining to centers along the Hudson where you may ice skate or visit our Parks website at www.nyc.gov/parks for ice skating locations within Parks’ jurisdiction.

Thank you for your interest in Parks.

Sincerely,
Angie XXXX
Assistant to the Manhattan Borough Commissio

SOLO CUP COMPANY

Dear Solo cup company,

My name is Joam Jeremy. I am a pastor of Reba's baptist church in a small town in upstate New york. I think God brought me to your cups. The other day I was having a cup of hot chocolate during one of our AA meetings when I swear (and I am not a swearing man) that god started talking to me. He came to me in the shape a head of a little person in the chocolate liquid. He proclaimed that you should go from Solo cup company to Duo cup company...as man should not be alone. I wanted to make you aware of this .

Yours in God,

Joam Jeremy

RESPONSE

MAYONAISSE

Dear Best Foods,

I have hated mayonaisse since i was a child. The look, smell, seeing it glopped on a burger gives me chills.

Can you give me any advice on how to start loving your product. I have heard you have the best mayonaisse and it is silly to hold such disdain for a condiment in 2010


Yours in God,

Joam Jeremy.

WENDY'S

Dear Wendy's

Despite your use of a red hair child (red haired children scare me), I like Wendy's. When I was in high school I worked at a Wendy's in my hometown, Tragically, I was "sunburned" by your fry machines. It caused me great embarassment which lead to overeating and a bout of obesity, but I am ok now and whenever I am travelling I only eat at Wendy's.

Yours in God,

Joam Jeremy
