FIRSTLY-- THE SHATUPON SOCIETY HAS 2 NEW MEMBERS DEBORAH SINDLING WAS THE
WINNER #659 - AND THE RUNNER UP WAS MICHELLE MITCHELL WITH #1000.. DEBORAH
WILL RECIEVE NOT ONLY HER MEMBERSHIP CERTIFICATE BUT A SIGNIFICNANT GIFT FROM
ME PERSONALLY... NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH SDP. REMEMBER WE DON'T LIKE BEING
CONSIDERED SOME KIND OF BINGO.. THERE ARE TOO MANY RULES ABOUT THAT SORT OF
THING THAT... I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.
MICHELLE WILL GET A MEMBERSHIP CERT.
WE HAD TO WEIGH THE RESULTING SPLASH OF GOOP..
WE WERE PREPARED WITH 4 LITTLE CUPS CORRECTLY WEIGHTED WITH SLIPS OF
TOILET PAPER TO EXACT THE BALANCE.. IN CASE THE SPLUDGE ENDS UP ON A CORNER OF
4 SQUARES.
YESTERDAY IT WAS AGREED UPON BY THE CROWD THAT THERE WERE ONLY 2 NUMBERS IN
CONTENTION..
************
ONLY PROBLEM WAS WE STOOD IN FRONT OF THE EXPLORE CAMERA..THERE WAS A
CROWD... BUT NEXT TIME.. WE CAN SET UP A SMALL TABLE WITH THE SCALE AND
EQUIPMENT FOR THE POSSIBEL WEIGHING IN OF THE MATERIAL PRODUCED.
******
THE STEW WAS -- A HUGE SUCCESS..I CAN NOT TELL YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE FOUND
THE DAY AND THE PLACE REFRESHING , RELAXING.... A DAY INTHE SUN CURED ABOUT 6
PEOPLE FROM TERRIBLE MENTAL ANGUISH .
EVEN SANTA WAS HERE TO ADD TO THE JOY OF A DAY IN THE SUN.
I MEAN SANTA-- AS IN CHRISTMAS SANTA--- NOT IN HIS USUAL RED OUTFIT BUT
IN COGNITO AND ALSO IN LARRY KING TYPE SUSPENDERS..
EARLENE EXCELLED AS OUR OFFICIAL GREETER ASSISTED BY BLUE GWEN.
AND THE FOOD... I THINK WE MAY MAKE IT TO FRIDAY WITH THE LEFTOVERS.---
WHICH INCLUDE A CAKE WITHTHE PHOTO OF OUR 4 DOGS IN THE ICING...
BEAT THAT IF YOU CAN.
I ATE PASTA SALAD AT MIDNIGHT ...
**************
THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON HERE WHO'S PURPOSE DID NOT MATCH THE MOLD- SHE -
WITH CAMERA IN HAND WANTED TO PHOTOGRAPH ALL THE ROOMS AND WALLS IN THE
HOUSE... I HAD TO SAY--- NO--- AS MUCH AS HER PURPOSE WAS LOVELY AND SHARING--
I THINK I HAVE TO DRAW THE LINE.
WE HAVE ALL THE EXPLORE CAMERAS... AND CAMERA MARK IS WONDERFUL-- MAYBE
THAT IS ENOUGH- ANYTHING ELSE IS MAKING ME UNCOMFORTABLE AND I FEEL
INVADED..
IF THERE WAS ANYTHING MONITARILY VALUABLE IN THE HOUSE I WOULD REALLY BE
WORRIED
MAYBE THE PLACE HAS BEEN RANSACKED ALREADY. IT IS HARD TO TELL.
SO TAKE YOUR MEMORIES AWAY FROM HERE IN YOUR HEAD ONLY.. THE CAMERAS DO NOT
FIT THE MOLD.
******
WE--SDP--- ARE ALL ENJOYING THE CAMERA PEOPLE WHO ARRIVE TO HELP AND
PARTICIPATE WITH THE DOGS .. JOYCE AND FRIEND WERE HERE FOR A COUPLE NIGHTS--
AND WHEN BENTLEY WENT FOR A WALK IN THE BLACK MUD OF THE STREAM, AND NEEDED A
BATH-- I SIMPLY TURNED TO THEM AND ASKED THAT THEY SHAMPOO HIM- AND THEY DID---
WITH DIFFICULTY BUT WITHOUT COMPLAINING-- AND IT WAS ENTERTAINING TO WATCH THEM
STRUGGLE WITH HIS 160 POUND FRAME.
THAT IS WHAT THIS PLACE IS ABOUT FOR VISITORS. IT IS AN
EXPERIENCE. TO BE SHARED VOCALLY- BUT NOT WITH CAMERA TOURIST
STYLE.
***
THERE WAS A LOVELY CP WHO SAT IN WITH THE PUPS-- I NEVER GOT A CHANCE TO
TALK WITH HER UNTIL SHE WENT OUT THE DRIVEWAY WHEN SHE SAID HER NAME WAS
LINDA-- AND I WONDERED IF SHE WAS THE LINDA WHO ENDEAVORS TO HELP PEOPLE AROUND
THE INTERNET WITH HER POSTED WHATEVER.
***
AND THERE WERE ?4 NEW VETERANS IN VARIOUS STATES OF DISREPAIR- ONE HAD
WIFE AND 5 KIDS WITH HIM-- AND HE HAD T HE PRACTICAL APPROACH TO CHILD REARING
THAT ONLY A PARENT OF 5 KIDS CAN HAVE -- AS ONE OF THE OLDER PUPS FLATTENED A
YOUNG RUNNING CHILD TO LICK HIS FACE-
I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT LAWSUIT- AND MARIA ( MOTHER OF 5 KIDS ) SAID "HERE'S
A WASHCLOTH- THERE IS THE WATER"
****
NEXT QUESTION
PEOPLE ASKED ABOUT THE HUGE POSTIT NOTES HUNG ROUND THE OFFICE WHEN THE
CAMERA WAS CARRIES THRU..( YOU LOT DON'T MISS MUCH..)
THOSE 2 X 3 YELLOW POSTERS WERE MY DAUGHTERS EFFORT TO PASS SOME KIND OF
PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEST SO SHE CAN PUT PMP AFTER HER NAME, SHE CERTAINLY
SUFFERED FOR THAT PRIVILEGE- AND PRODUCED 16 POSTERS TO TRY AND ILLUSTRATE HOW
YOU MAKE EMPLOYEES RESPONSIBLE FOR THIER TASKS..... GWEN WAS GOING TO THROW THEM
OUT
THEY ARE NOW HUNG IN THE ARENA SO MARK COULD PHOTOGRAPH THEM--
LEGISLATING COMMON SENSE IS IMPOSSIBLE BUT THOSE POSTERS TRY...
*********
AND DOGS ARE BEING PROPERLY PILLED ON SCHEDULE-- AND BAILEY IS LOOKING MUCH
BETTER.
AND SO IT GOES
I AM NOT YELLING-- I CAN NOT SEE the small print
