I find it infuriating that the very people who say that I should ask for help more often, are the ones who let me down when I do. :mad:

It's as simple as saying "no" when initially asked OR not offer to begin with and definitely don't promise something that you have NO intentions of delivering. Because I'm anal, I've confirmed the details over the past few months and I got, "Taken care of, no worries". Today? I'm scrambling to find replacements and it's "go time". Actually "go time" was yesterday. :mad:


It's okay, I'm mad, but it'll work out and I'll remeber this. No more Mrs. Nice Guy! :biggrin:

That is why I just don't ask.....I have been down that road too.

Do athe kids still collect for UNICEF at Halloween? We haven't had any for awhile. I never liked that, always seemed like it was taking the fun out of Halloween for the kids.

Anyone know what the laws are surrounding electioneering at polling places on election day?

I thought there was a distance restriction of something like 100 feet or something like that.

In any case, while voting this morning we were disgusted to see blatant, wall to wall election signage at the entrance to the voting facility, (which may be okay), but also at the doorway and all along the parking lot.

IS this legal or is it electioneering illegally?  :rant:

How much? 

And I'd like to know what you consider as proof? 

Because it obvious to me that simply because a Rupert corp. tells you something is real it is unquestionable to you.
