Do pirates know about coffee? If not...I don't wanna be one.
*yawn*
~sip~
So's Maureen O'Hara vs whatsername.
I don't think I've seen that, though.
But I don't wanna be a pirate!
I'd respond to you, Rosie but I am laughing too hard at the picture Hair posted!
LMAO! The puffy shirt.
LOL - I dunno.... If it were really about native costume, then the Arabs would have stuff hidden under their robes too...
Good morning Ruthy :~D

*waves*
We're going crazy here at work preparing for Rita.
Be back in a bit.
OK - I can't just can't sit around today either.... got a bunch of meetings in town.... I'll be pretty busy work-wise the next couple of weeks.
Ack!
Good morning!
I'm having a rigor. An absolute fit. It has to do with the egroup and I'm in an absolute tailspin.
Ahhhhh!
Town?
*shudder*
I start training for that volunteer job today. If it's as simple as it seems likely to be, training will be a few minutes of showing me what information goes where, and I'll do some work, too. Hopefully can put in half a day or so.
Tell us about it....
The modern Jordanian Desert Patrol (we're not talking arabian-nights-era) wears a modern grayish police-type uniform, with the rifle slung over the shoulder.
I almost thought we had a costume class in dressage when a woman showed up in a Michigan State campus police "mounted division" uniform. While police and military can ride dressage in their riding uniforms, I pointed out to the TD that Michigan State campus police does NOT have a mounted division, so her "uniform" was a fantasy piece. In fact, it was all black, and looked surprisingly like a nazi SS uniform.
The TD took the line of least resistance, and allowed her to ride in that uniform. It was an embarrassment, IMHO.
Several BA CHEF members belong to other homeschool support groups. I have belonged to two support groups for many years. Sure, there has been conflicting events and activities...as a matter of fact, there was just this last Saturday! That's just what happens when you belong to two support groups...but I've never regretted being part of the two groups. I just worked around it. I never thought BA CHEF needed do anything different to accommodate me, though. I don't believe my other support group ever made any scheduling decisions bases on what BA CHEF was doing, either. I would think [the other support group] would be the same way.
As far as doing the [Peach Orchard] field trip with [the other support group], I won't be going and here's why...one of the main reasons I decided to stay with BA CHEF was because it was smaller. I was looking forward to smaller field trips. This sounds like it would turn out to be just another big field trip with a big support group. The last field trip I went on with BA CHEF before [the other support group] formed was a mass of kids and it was a madhouse! I was so excited about the smaller, more intimate BA CHEF because that!
Anyway, that's my two cents, for what it's worth.
OK - so what's wrong with that?
What's wrong with what?
I wonder if this Katrina business has changed your company's policies concerning hurricanes? Weren't they pretty dangerous?
You said you were in a rigor and a tailspin.... What's the issue?
What a small group of women are trying to do is make BA CHEF like a "extra branch" of CHEER...weaving us into their schedules...I want no part of it, but they keep trying. it was the same situation when they tried to get us to change the day we meet.
Just annoying.
OK doll....
I gotta go get ready to go to town.... busy busy!
Talk to you later!
They are trying to get BA CHEF to accommodate them, they wouldn't dream of getting the new group to change to accommodate BA CHEF.
It's vey irritating. I don't want anything to do with the new group, and I certainly don't want to do joint field trips with them. It's going to cause another rift, because this small group of people is adamant about getting us to accommodate them. And remember, if you say anything against it, you're being mean-spirited.
