I may do the same.
Well, I do have to go in for a while, so I guess I'm only half mental.

She's like 16? She's a teen. She needs to graduate from college and try to find work and get ahead , esp in a male dominated field.
Now I sound old, but I didn't know anything at 16. (I am 31 and only know a little bit more)

Yup, which is all the more reason I didn't lambast her.

I had a nice reply (not snotty) typed up but it wouldn't take it. Hmm
never mind, the mods were already taking care of it.

I was wondering why you removed your response, landabee. I personally think she isn't entirely for real, because her handle and just the over the top nature of many of her posts.

I think she's 18, but she has not a clue about marriage or making a living without a man.

I suspect we have heard it before and don't need to read it to hear our own version of it in our minds.
My son needs to raise over $2200 for Scouts in less than two years. We haven't made the actual financial committment to it, but we committed to him and he agreed to do the work. He just told me he need $280 for a band trip and he is willing to do fund raisers.
Great, because his idea of 'doing' fundraisers is Mom and Dad taking them to work and I won't be doing that.
I don't know what to tell him. I can't afford to send him - I think it is a an overblown excuse for an expensive vacation (It is usually 3 days and I can do a family of 4 for a long weekend for less than $1200) and it conflicts with his scout stuff.
And I don't like his band director.  Deep breaths. Tired of him spending my money and watching his money go down the drain on stupid football-type cards.

I HATE fundraisers!!! My boy just started freshman football this year and he had to sell 15 discount cards at $20 a piece. I know most people can't afford this $20. If he couldn't sell all of them then I was required to make up the rest of the $300!!! Thankfully, I have an awesome boss and he bought 12 of them to give out to people here at work and we sold the other 3 to relatives.

Yeah her friends are sticking up for her. Oh well it might get removed (or at least the link the blog)
I don't understand the kids fundraisers either, I don't have kids but it just seems to be over the top, esp when they come with them on the first day of school.
But then some of the adult fundraisers aren't any better like team in training or the breast cancer 3 day. Those require thousands of dollars per person and if you don't raise it you have to come up with the difference.

Seems like a nice way to get around a TOS violation if you can just post in on your blog then link to it. But her friends are teenagers just like she is, just as young, just as "idealistic".
Funny thing is, I was a lot more "liberal" as a teen (never to the point of hating men and killing babies), but I've become a lot more moderate. Used to be I really looked down on women who didn't have children and still stayed home. Now I understand it's none of my beeswax, and they have reasons for making the choices they have, just like the rest of us.

Yeah, but I think that IS against TOS if she's been asked away. I remember in the past someone did something similar and they informed us that wasn't allowed. I figured it'd be taken care of soon enough.
About fundraising, when I used to have to do that, I used to either go where the allowed me to sell where there were a ton of people... or I'd try to find someone who'd buy a ton to give as gifts or awards to someone else. (Or perhaps just someone with a lot of $$ to spend; that worked well too.) I used to have teachers who'd take groups of students to certain places to sell things together; it worked well, but I'm not sure why it did. I guess they'd figured out where the best places were through the years.

What's the difference between a Mental Health Day and a Sick Day? I thought a Mental Health day was when you called in sick, but weren't really sick.
And do you know why I love my husband, because he doesn't believe that feminism is "a way for ugly women to feel better about themselves". Yeah, should not have gotten curious about what someone said here about the men's discussion on feminism.
For the record, we are allowed to read the Men's Folder, just not post. And I stay out of the Personal Issues folder.

I thought a mental health day was a day that you take to recharge yourself. I was planning on using a vacation to do that. I had a friend who worked for a different gov't agency than my hubby and she said that if she called work and said she was sick of so-n-so's crud and wasn't coming in, it counted as a sick day.

my mental health day was a vacation day.
Today we took the kids hiking in the mountains and a picnic. It was a blast. Then we went over to some friends house and watched the Auburn - Miss St. game.
Today was exactly what I needed.
