During the cold war, JFK claimed to have gone to the moon. He got congress to spend billions on his moon landing and pretended america landed there, convincing congress to give him billions, the fakeness of the landing is well documented.
It seems to me that this liberal moneybags, that he took these billions for personal use, or maybe gave them to the USSR (we all know he was soft on communism)
Perhaps his death was similarly staged in order to keep his billions or keep congress of his case.
I wonder if under an obama administration we will see more moon landings.
Hi! I should be working on stuff for Girl Scouts right now. How I wish I still didn’t have six more months of this!
I sent an email out to the all the troop members (and some who’ve contacted us but not been seen), and mentioned that I needed a co-leader. Well, a mom who had earlier said she was interested, but then didn’t stay for the last meeting or ask me about registration, took a snit because I seemed, I guess, to be rejecting her offer. Says her daughter won’t come to the troop again. So now I’ve apologized, explaining that it’s a misunderstanding that’s all my fault, and we’ll see what happens.
Honestly, this just wears me out. I’m not the world’s greatest Girl Scout leader, I admit, but I’m there every meeting doing things with the girls, and I’m trying. I just need to think about my nice girls who don’t have cranky parents, and muddle on through this.
My mother used to tell me, when people acted like that, to “consider the source.” Maybe that’s what the woman grew up with, and doesn’t realize how bad she appears.
You should probably just forgive the stupidity, and go on about your business. Why would you want an attitude like that around you every time you had to plan something for the GS?
I admire you for all you do, and think you are pretty darn awesome as a mother, a teacher, a friend and a woman. You shouldn’t have to apologize to anyone who is that selfish.
Hang in there, Girl! *HUG*
She had an Obama sticker on her car. I noticed when she dropped her daughter off at the last meeting.
It is at least 50% my fault - I should have done more toward getting her “on the books,” instead of assuming she would ask me what she needed to do. I think that, by taking responsibility for the misunderstanding, I’ve done all that can reasonably be done.
It amazes me, speaking of things that stress me out :-), that people sign up for something like Girl Scouts and then don’t show up, or only come 25% of the time. We only meet twice a month, how hard would it be to plan on it? It’s difficult for me to plan, because I don’t know if I’ll have 5 girls or 12, and the girls who don’t come don’t ever complete any badges, which makes me feel bad.
Is this it?
You ROCK!
*HUG*
That kinda looks like it but mine has several more pointy things on it.
Ah. For better reception then.
Right.
The Glaxorians speak a rather garbled language and if one has a lesser tinfoil hat, one can misunderstand a missive and end up losing a right leg because of it.
*shudder*
That sounds like me speaking Spanish :-). Did I tell them, “We’re going to sing #430,” or did I tell them to pound sand?
That would be the same feeling! But with harsher results, I think...
The Glaxorians probably wouldn’t like being told to pound sand, either. If they have sand ... even if they don’t, it’s a universal concept.
Well, I’m off. Have to go by the bank and make deposits, and pick up something for the troop for snack, since the lady with the snit was supposed to bring the snack today. Once I get there with my *nice* girls who have *fun* doing the activities, I’ll feel much better! I was actually thinking of declaring an illness after this meeting, just saying, “Forget it,” but I couldn’t do that to Elen, Eli, Naomi, Dabney, Megan, Emily, and Ashley! And that’s 7 girls who are a plus in my life, too!
Off in a teleconference..
I’m going to try and swap out the hard drives of the two computers this week.
I’m just not going to pay for this one longer than I have to. *ugh*
You just keep being you, TC, and you’ll never go wrong. We’re all human, but some of us are more aware of that fact than others. Don’t blame yourself for her attitude. She CHOSE to react the way she did.
*HUG*
Good luck with the computers! I’d be no help :-).
The hard part is taking the case apart. The rest of it is pretty much color-coded. Sorta.
Maybe Sunday, I can catch the guy at church and have him tell me how to do it, and maybe loan me the recovery discs. I just can’t be without my own computer. And I don’t like Vista!!
Righty Tighty.
Lefty Loosey
Red light bad
Green light good.
One and sometimes two beeps good.
More than two beeps bad.
Smoke bad.
Um...I’m not really a “Righty Tighty” girl, having grown up with brothers. As for red and green lights, Igor was a programmer.
Smoke is never good, unless it’s in the BBQ grill...
Thanks for the info, though! I’ll remember them all!
*HUG*
Cases, ugh. The house server is in a no-tool case, which means every time I have to open it up I have to re-learn the non-obvious procedures for opening it. Went through that last weekend when its hard-drive cable worked loose again.
Banner day here! One little 20-page report to read & digest and my in-basket is EMPTY!!! (Well, except for the huge stack of unread magazines and journals.) I haven't managed this in years.
There goes the thread again. Oh well.
When I was in TX, I bought a book on how to repair your own PC. I’m sure the hardest part will be finding the CD to reformat the “new” drive.
