This is OT, but last night my son had to go to a board meeting for a Boy Scout merit badge requirement. He was supposed to listen to both sides of an issue and write about it. So we went to a meeting that had a public hearing on a tentative budget. I figured someone would stand up and oppose it. They get to that portion of the meeting, and no one says anything, then finally some old lady gets up and congratulates the board on a job well done, blah blah blah. Then the trustees start commenting. It was VICIOUS. Apparently the board is divided pretty firmly 3-2 on every issue. So I was like great, he has alot to write about. He asked if we could leave, but we were on the far side of the room, so i said it'd be hard to sneak out so we should stay - 'it won't take too much longer, it's just the trustee reports' Well, I am so glad we stayed - someone started a huge fight about the sale of some property - it was pretty amusing, although at one point, the entire audience is sitting there, listening to them arguing, and i was thinking I felt like a kid with their parents fighting. At the end, some lady asks one of the trustees if she can get a taped copy of the meeting LOL. Maybe i should get a copy too - i can post it here during a slow week (like the rest of the season maybe?)

So I get home, and I am telling DH about the whole thing, and I said "it was Feeds Gold" and he's like 'what?'..................and i realized i spend too much time here, and now no one understands my vernacular anymore. I was also thinking maybe we could stick these people in the BB house and they could hash it out there. Unfortunately the youngest of the group is probably my age and the oldest is practically dead, so they'd never make the cut.

sharon never talked about how she got picked on in school. in fact, she alluded to the fact that she was the one doing the picking. she's so nice.

This supports my theory that all the interesting people in the world got picked on in school.
