so far today the news is full of stuff i don't dare get involved with... darn...... some is pretty funny material...as i have said before-- you can not say our gov't is useless, because i provides untold material for late night commedians...
maybe one -- teri-can sent this... with 5 pups lying in a circle on puppy hill.....
"Okay, Does it start :' put your wight paw in, take your wight paw out?"

many questions abotu when will we hear from cummings about -- hopefully --- a grant. i have no idea... my guess is thya have to go back to meeting and discuss teh bunch of charities thye viewed... that could take a while.. one of the people had a form of questions to answer...and i did... when i gave him the payroll and paid staff numbers he quickly said "well yu are certainly not overpaying anyone." and i know that well...
you do get more than money working here--
you also get food...... far too much of it !! i was eating the lobester as fast as i can... and today i really don't dare... from saturday to wednesday is jusst too old... with great pity we wil l toss out the last bit--( because eating it might really get it tossed !!)

lobster/clambake-- and the company that served us... will someone please remember for next year-- that the guy who owns the joint tried to explainto megan... then pam on the phone ... then me- on the phone... how unhappy he was that we did not wash out all the coolers before returning them... i had said i would return them unwashed because we don't have provision for washing all that smelly lobster/fish except on ot the ground.... megan is prettl level headed...but was very upset to have this guy get in her face...... pam is far too nice... and was upset... now the interesting part.... i am often mistaken for a man on the phone with my low voice...he politely started in with me " that is not the way we planned- mr.white---you should have washed them out, " i corrected him "mrs. white...."... at which point he started in with what could only be called verbal abuse.... when someone says "i am not screaming..i have surveilance cameras to prove it...." chances are... they are... he really tried to make me feel badly because he had to come in on his day off to wash smelly coolers....and i just fielded the comments "did you cash teh $5000 check on your day off too?" he got very nasty-- and i wondered -- he had started out relatively politely until he knew i was not a man... so had he been so abusive to megan and pam for that reason too???
he clearly was not thi9nking because he said "we can not do business like that again" and i promised i would make sure we didn't and get someone else next year-- and he went into "whoooops " mode.
so remind me next year - the food was great... but not worth that verbal abuse of megan and pam... i was the one he shojuld have got to first....

from meatcutter steve ( annie fell)
Hi - I was able to see Annie late this afternoon. She looked good compared to what Deb said she looked like yesterday. She’s still bruised badly, but was very alert and seemed ok. They have had her up with a walker, and she said it was very painful on her foot. She’s in a walking cast up to her calf. Her right hand (her good one) also took the brunt of her fall and is very sore. Lucky she didn’t break that too.
I’m going again on Friday - Deb is going during the day tomorrow. We’re going to bring her food and have dinner with her Friday. Deb said she will go Saturday afternoon and try to call during that mail call. She has her phone and a charger. I’m going to bring her an iPad or a laptop so she can get online.
Some people have messaged me asking about Annie. I’m going to put a very brief note on comments letting them know she is improving and feeling better. I imagine we will do the same as last time she was laid up and have people send cards to SDP then I can deliver them to her. You could say something about it at mail call tomorrow.
Let me now if there is anything else I can do, or you would like to pass along. See you Thursday.

and so it goes....
