It’s Never Not Hazing!

When is hazing not hazing? It’s never not hazing, but apparently when professional sports teams do it, it doesn’t matter. “Rookie Dress Up Day”? Come on professional sportsmen, let’s stop the hazing!

It saddens me when the glorifies hazing the rookies. What message does this send to collegians?  http://fox2now.com/2015/09/28/cardinals-rookies-go-through-end-of-season-hazing/

That damn mum sale is over! On Tuesday, nearly 400 mums were delivered to our home at 6 a.m. in the dark and rain. When I ordered the mums two weeks ago, we had about 150 of the minimum order unsold. On Tuesday morning, we placed the 50 or so that were unspoken for on another section of the lawn and by Tuesday evening, almost all were gone. The Rotary Club of Carbondale – Breakfast will be presenting a check to the Carbondale Boys and Girls Club for more than $1,200. Kudos to my husband Dan who had to listen to me worry about the unsold mums, knowing full well he might soon be the proud owner of 100 mums. Many thanks, too, to the club members who followed me in this first ever mum sale and made it work.
