Of course, my cat decided to spray down all my badges one day . . .so I know what her thoughts were on the whole thing.<br /><br />And then there's the dating/marriage thing - first impressions are always weird. I didn't like my hubs the first day I met him . . .but then I gave him a second chance, and we dated for five years and have been married for 16 . . .so I totally get the whole change of heart thing. <br /><br />As for blogs, well, they have to change to keep living - it's like a language, no change = death.

To quote Katie Couric, "I don't think anyone gives a rat's ass if I eat a tuna fish sandwich." About the Girl Scouts: I never joined so don't know. But, ahem, organizations have rules/goals/etc. when one joins. About church: I'm quite sure I'm in the 'lost souls' arena, LOL, and neither worry nor think about it or go to church to pray about it. <br /><br />You've got a dynamite blog. Have you thought about your blog's title being the title of a book as well? Stretch your focus a bit. I'd thought about dropping blogging too before I started writing my stories.

I hate those leggy little beasts. Seriously creepy. <br /><br />Donating cans of food to earn a badge seems kind of strange to me. I mean, I think it is good to donate food to the homeless, and to encourage it is good too, but I'm assuming the parents are the ones who paid for the food not the daughters. If the girl scouts worked odd jobs to make the money to buy the food that was to be donated--that would seem more like they are "earning" the badge. That's just my two cents worth. I wasn't in the girl scouts myself.

I like my blog for wittering and keeping an account of what I get up to, instead of physically writing a diary (because who actually puts pen to paper any more?). And because my memory is so bad if I don't write it down it'll be gone forever.<br /><br />My son tried to join the scouts here in France but it was an unmitigated disaster. They told him they were short of leaders and would contact him when they had enough to take him on. They never got back to us despite 3 emails from me. Not a peep, so they can keep their hyper-Catholic sodding scouts. My son declares himself an atheist anyway so he would have hated it.<br /><br />I said something similar to a friend of mine (the freak remark) when she started going out with a man. She never spoke to me again and they've been married for 20 years. From that I learned that what people say about someone and what they think about someone do not necessarily correspond.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13195684182481935384noreply@blogger.com
