I suppose i could call.. It's called "Computer Home Care" here in the town where I live (you know the town name)...just down the street. I think I'll just swing by after picking Josh up and speak to them. See what they offer

That sounds good too!

You know how I was talking about the den leader in Matthew's cub scouts giving me a bit of grief for not showing up for that bear carving...I didn't tell you what she said that night...

Background...remember how I told you that none of the women at the Mom and Me campout had anything to do with their sons while we were there, just visited with each other and had nothing to do with me because nobody knew me? Remember how i was disappointed that no one seemed interested in what their boy was doing?

Well, Steve had noticed the same thing at various other events...nobody deals with their kids, the kids run rampant and the parents socialize.

Now, back to the carved bear.

Steve and Matthew worked hard on it. Hours and hours sitting at the table, practicing technique and slowly chipping away at that bear. Steve would demonstrate, Matthew would attempt and so on. By the time they were finished, i thought the bear looked pretty darn good.

So we go to the pack meeting and Matthew shows his bear to this den leader and she picks it up and laughs at it. Then says "Say, Matthew...did your dad "help" you with this?" where Matthew truthfully replied "Yes!" She turns to the other people at our table and says "Whattaya think guys? Ya think his dad HELPED him with this?" Then she just roars with laughter.

Stung me to the core, but I kept quiet for Matthew's sake. He didn't realize what she was up to.

What brings this up now?

Monday, at the den meeting, she says "Everyone needs to email a corporation and tell them what you think about their product, be it a product you like or one you don't like. Get your parent to help, but make sure you do it...if your parent does it, I'll know..." then she looked at me and said "I always know."

I'm just sick. Matthew has no idea that the woman is a bald faced hag. He loves his den, but the main reason is because of the effort "we" put into it with him.

I don't know what you guys can do about this...not much advice can help. Just be thinkin' about me, I guess. The whole think is just very disappointing.
