Most of you have heard of a football widow, right? That’s when the woman is ignored while her husband is obsessed with football season. He leaves her alone while he watches football on every tv and station in the house. Nobody I love cares that much about any sport ball. Girl Scouts are another story.Continue reading “Girl Scout Cookie Widow”

Girl Scouts Hire Their First Asian CEO
JoAnne texted me the news and I finally got a chance to read the whole article today. I am a fan of Girl Scouts, I truly am. I think it is a very good organization and if used thoughtfully, girls can really gain a lot from the program. There are way more positive than negatives.Continue reading “Girl Scouts Hire Their First Asian CEO”
Xmas Songs – BAH HUMBUG!
When JoAnne mentioned Xmas MUZAK from Kmart I had to curl up in a fetal position and rock back and forth until I got over the yucky memories that brought back. The only thing good about any of that canned repetitive music was when one of the FABULOUS gays at Kmart would belt out aContinue reading “Xmas Songs – BAH HUMBUG!”
FIRST ROBOTICS
FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. It is a robotics community for young people partnering with volunteers, parents, educators and sponsors. It is a non profit organization that was founded by an inventor (Dean Kamen) in 1989. In my opinion, it is a FANTASTIC way to promote STEM and helpContinue reading “FIRST ROBOTICS”

But eventually my savings started running low, and I knew it was time to find a regularContinue reading “My career path, part 3”

The winter weather cut down on the amount of time I was outside for a couple of months but luckily the weather is pretty mild here inContinue reading “The Butterfly Highway”
For My GS Troop, Cookie Season is Over!!
In the Girl Scout World, cookies aren’t just a fundraiser, or something that you do one or 2 weekends. Cookies are a season, and they really last 3-4 months, just like a real season. In our council, leaders get their training in November. Then in December they pass the training on to the girls andContinue reading “For My GS Troop, Cookie Season is Over!!”
Girl Scouts, part 2
So when Scouts BSA opened their doors to girls, everyone thought they were being so open minded and welcoming, when really all they want to do is build up their membership at the expense of Girl Scouts. Many people don’t realize the differences between Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. Many people think we are 2Continue reading “Girl Scouts, part 2”
