When I first got on Free Republic, a gentleman asked me if I was a member of the Jaycees. I wasn’t, but my husband was. It was a young man’s business association (club) or whatever and the ladies had a club called the Jaycettes. They met every so often and some won prizes. I remember my husband won the Spark Plug Award one year and some other that I can’t remember. It was a wooden plaque with a sparkplug attached and his name.
I just took my name from my initials.
This is what I say “you can’t have too much brown sugar”....
and I like a lot of cherries placed around. I halve my cherries do you?
Yes, I halve my cherries, and use almost a whole jar - because it makes the cake so pretty (not to mention the wonderful taste of those cherries)!
My husband was a JayCee (I think it means Jr. Chamber of Commerce), and they weren’t getting new members.
The membership committee decided that they needed some new ideas, to get new members, and came up with the idea to assign a baby pig to one of the long standing members. The idea was to deliver that pig to any member of the Jaycees, and they were to be responsible for that pig, until they got a new member - then they could pass it on to another member, (and so on.)
Well, my husband was the first to get the pig.
It was a nightmare! That durned little thing made a hole under the driping faucet in our yard, and ‘wallowed’ in the mud! It made the hole as large as a garbage pail, and the pig was covered with mud! It was a mess. Our dog hated it, and tried to attack it, but the skin was too thick to get ahold. (Thank goodness).
But, there was constant squealing, screeching, growling and barking from the yard.
Being the good wife that I was, I gave my husband two choices - either you get a new member for the Jaycees by tomorrow, or you move out. LOL!
The pig was delivered to another member that night. ROTF!
I guess this proves that at least with cherries, you can halve them and eat them too!
