When I was in band, the students were the ones who went door-to-door selling magazines, donuts, candy, car tags, and whatever else they decided would make money.
that's when I learned that I'd starve as a salesman.

Lioness, here's an acrostic I learned when I was in service that might come in handy:
Never

Volunteer

That's what my dad and my husband said when they got released discharged.

So cool. I admire quick-wits 'cause I don't have any and wish I did. I love people who can come up with hilarious stuff off the top of their head without missing a beat.
The really brilliant thing was watching him pick random people from the group I was with and making them do improv comedy.
You know you're brilliant when you can make any random banker funny.

ROTFLOL!
I worked in a bank. I know just how not funny most (present company excluded) of them are. 
Personally, being in front of a group being forced to be funny was something I thought should be reserved for the CIA and enemy combatants.
Give me waterboarding any day.
I think I'd rather give birth than do that again.

You know, I always had a suspicion that it was at least partially scripted until that conference.
He basically told us it wasn't, and then dared us to throw out the most un-funny ideas we could think of, and he'd do an improv routine on it.
We did, and then he proceeded to make those ideas hysterically funny.
I was utterly convinced.

It seems that anyone who had a kid playing football (and had I known this, MC would have played the flute instead of football) is put on the concession stand schedule and then told when to show up. I love a dictatorship.
For sure! Linz is going to DC in March, and there are various fundraisers, one of which is the annual turkey dinner. Parents are required to help. I called the teacher a few weeks ago when I got the first notice and told him I couldn't help because of the knee surgery. He was fine with it, told me to just heal. So today in mail, what did I find? The schedule for sunday, with my name on it.  I called and got it straightened out, but still, now that my name is on there the other parents will be looking for me and wondering where I am. 
Unbeknownst to me there was a schedule in the concession stand and anyone who didn't show got a black mark by their name or something. Fortunately one of the other moms had my six and marked that I was there. Otherwise I'd be a pariah among football parents.
I'm glad you got it straightened out, Kath. I hope someone explains that you won't be there and why. 
DS, I know what you're saying. Between 2 kids doing stuff, my time is claimed by people I don't even know. If I had a third kid I don't know what I'd do.

I personally have been convicted to not go in public without makeup because it can cause my brother to lust after other women in hopes that I won't look in his direction.
But you have to do what is directed to you by the Holy Spirit, Lionness. And if He tells you to go out without makeup then you obviously haven't read Mary 15:4-19.
Brush up on it. Might do you some good.
Now I wonder what Paul had to say about this subject, but I am having a very hard time finding the book of Paul though.

Toby's fine. Operation successful. He's resting comfortably (well, as comfortably as one could be with one of those cones on ...)
I am happy to hear that Toby is ok Pam!

Has anyone seen the new "Let's Make a Deal" with Wayne Brady? When I first heard of this, I didn't think anyone else could do that. And I never cared too much for the show even with Monty Hall.
But I love Wayne Brady. I have the show on now just for him.
No, but you just reminded me of this skit from the long past Lets Trade Your Salvation.

If anyone watches ESPN Gameday (started at 10:00 a.m. and will go to late tonight), they are at the Air Force Academy, where my son is an instructor.
He says that his office is in the building looking over Desmond Howard's right shoulder when the camera focuses on Desmond head on.

Morning Den. I have been staking our the area where they will purt our new home.
I have spent the last two days immersed with all the things that have to be done. This includes power lines, septic systems (which I never had to be concerned with in town) and addressing of our new home. ( In the morning we were given one address, by the afternoon it had changed).

How exciting, Gary! So this is new construction? When will it be built? I apologize if you've said before and I missed it.
