no, it's a service club - we raise money to help kids. However in our county there are two mens clubs (one that's been around 80 years another 65) and my club has been around 16 years. in our 16 years, we have finally (this last year) broken away our club and gotten proper PR for being the women's club etc. We've worked long and hard to become 45 members strong, and really don't want to compete with another club that is 8 miles away, when we are still growing our numbers.
I'm going to go in nice tonight, and find out why exactly she thinks she needs to start another club... and then I'm going to take her and some of her start up members she's rallied to my meeting next week.
Since a member must introduce guests - I'm going to intro her as the ladies who are charting a new club in our county - which will go over like a Sh*t Sandwhich, I'm sure in our meeting.
I'm all for growing membership and charting other orgs, but our towns are too small to have several of these groups, when if we worked together, we'd be a lot better off.
well, I just got off the phone with my current prez (who is FLAMING mad that someone would come in on our area) so it's a good thing this chick is gonna deal with me rather than her.
Madam Prez is phoning national right now to see if there is a w/in a certain area rights we can invoke to keep them out. We aren't going to let them come in without a huge fight. I've spent countless hours (as have many of our girls) building our rep to have someone come in on our coattails.
well, how come they want to start a whole new group? didn't they know about you before? I'd think they would want to join your group as soon as they heard there was one. Maybe the head woman wanted to be the leader without working her way up to it ???
Invite her to the vineyard, get her drunk and take funny pics of her -- that'll get her out
OR
Turn this into a good book or horror movie:
invite her to the vineyard, get her drunk, kill her and bury her under the vines .... sell a 'special vintage' next year :wink: :eek:
you got it exactly Me2. She knows about us, she just wants to jump to the top from what I gather...and I've been doing my homework today...
Basically if she applies, the national org has to ask each of the established clubs in the area if they mind. We will fill a protest which won't let them charter within 60 miles of our club.
I'm gonna be nice tonight but firm. Heck we'd love people who are motivated to join our club, and I was prez with a little over 24 months of club time under my belt. If I can do it, anyone can.
Seriously, I have music on - they complain it's too loud (I can't even hear it 5 feet from my computer.
but they can be 30 feet down the hall and around the corner, and I can tell you ever word in their conversation. Infact people who are on the other end of phone calls with me, can tell every word of their convo.
our data system is being combined with another facility so we can do 'global' stuff... and all my buttons that do all my site specific trix don't work :angry:
and when you get the error message, you are basically frozen @ that point, and have to dump the system to get out.
Irritates: The phrase FCC RULES MANDATE THIS PROGRAM BE BLACKED OUT IN YOUR AREA when trying to watch the big Twins game when switching between them and the Vikings. Sad. :frown:
Irritates: SPP Heritage Days fireworks. So lame that they should have canceled and doubled up for next year so it could be an actual show. I'm only glad that I found an awesome spot to view them from close to home along the river. I would have been pissed if I had to drive all the way to the other side of the river for that. I know it's mostly done on donations as I've donated to the IGH show, but it was kinda sad that every single person watching it from where I was all said "Is that it?" We waited around a bit with nothing. The most exciting part was that a cop stopped the girls and I as we were leaving saying that he had complaints about people lighting off fireworks down at the park where we were at.
Maybe it's because the last fireworks show I saw was probably the best I've ever seen from the top of DT Mpls for the Aquatennial display.

I love fireworks, It's really hard to deeply enjoy them once you think you've seen the best. Personally, I've been spoiled with them and always wanting for more.
I've heard people around us at times ooooh and aaaah and say how wonderful they are and even begin to walk away when they think they've already seen a finally when they don't truly know what a finally is!
I thought SSP days were over last month. Becks and I are gearing up for IGHs.
ps: that first pic of last night is my favorite
I was home watching FOOTBALL!
and since I'm already in the "what irritates you" thread I can gripe that channel 45 S-U-C-K-S! the sound is horrible the color is aweful. switching back and forth between 11 and 45 was literally night and day! 11 had Madden and the Bus, 45 had no-bodies. 45 had their logo in the bottom right corner AND the channel 5 logo in the upper left corner through the whole game!!!! pick one!!! 45 didn't have a yellow imaginary line either ....huge disappointment! it was like watching highschool football!!!! The only reason I continued to watch was because of our Vikes. It's hard enough with all of the changes this year....
new sucky channel
new quarterback (that isn't twisting my binder as I expected him to).
new coach (that looks like Bill Cowhers cousin-havn't seen him swear yet but the guy hasn't smiled yet either).
new uniforms (vikes and refs) - I don't like either of them
couple of new rules - I've never seen a sport change the rules on a yearly basis more than football.
lots of new upcoming players
and probably the longest preseason "injured" list we've had in years!
there are 7-8 new coaches this year!!!
The comintators last night were talking about the material and feel of the refs new uniforms! :eyeroll: these are men talking about fashion!!!
irritates: John Mark Karr getting the first class treatment on his flight from Thailand - to USA. Thats just wrong!! No cuffs?? WTF! LIQUOR?? What were they thinking?
notice how they use his middle name when talking about him. As if he is ranked with Lee Harvey Oswald and John Wilkes Booth. (see kitch? it is a conspiracy) -however, he does look creepy.
amazing- it was all over cnn and fox news last night and this morning - pretty much a 5 minute by 5 minute accounts and then sooo little on Saddams trial this morning - I cannot believe how much coverage they are giving this guy WITHOUT the proof of DNA-just 'taking his word for it'---- very sad
the only way I think he could have done it is if they prove through DNA-otherwise it's the biggest farse!
He wasn't arrested until he got back to the states, so the idea was to have him get comfortable on the ride over, have some champagne, etc. and then spill more details. In the paper the head of some defense council untion said the move was brilliant, because as soon after he got off the plane he got put in a 6x6 box.
I'm still creeped out that he had a past in Santa Rosa. Why is it all the creepy sicko's live here at some point? It's like they hon their skills here or something.
I was sitting on that conf call with my feet on my printer and sorta dozed off, and when I did - must have shifted my weight, but my feet fell off the printer and I wacked my heel.

...I kinda wanna blame ESPN as well...but they got dooped as well....but ESPN didn't wanna stop talking about him being on the wagon.
the people down the hall are having a convo that is so loud it's like they are standing behind me.
2 just came up to me, and asked if I had a spare mouse with a rolly ball thingy... um - yeah, hold please let me extract one out of my A$$!
what do I look like? IT?
:frown: ....that's me

it suxs.
I see his side, I don't agree with it, but I see it - he refuses to admit there can be any other views other than his.
want to smash a pie in his face... grrr.
some people are weird like that... :goofy:

There are a few posters on these boards with the same affliction...
I just learned the hard headed guy I'm dealing with, however is literally 'in bed' with my problem tho.
should make things interesting. I have a new method of attack, it's called bypassing him.

day 2 no data system... i'm getting impatient.
People who know better, but are lazy, so send temps to 'inquire' about things they already know the answer is no to.
It's August 18th, and I was promised my contracts on August 1st.
tick tock tick tock tick tock...
I heard clue master is a clean freak?
GAWD...just pictured him in a maids outfit dusting ----
I know I've got yours

Best looking football playing skillswise, or best looking football player hottie-wise?
Thank you! (That is my real name)
bleech.
seriously, the numbers are staggering.
maybe it's the water. It surely can't be the wine.
people who lead video conference calls, and don't know how to use the application.
grrrrr if you are going to use it, and demonstrate something - then know how.
