The Little Red Hen

Hi gang,
Well my back is feeling better. Three trips to the chiropractor and a LOT of crunch and popping sounds as well as some ultrasound treatments and I can at least tie my own shoes now.

One of my all time favorite story books is The Little Red Hen. I have used that philosophy so many times I can't tell you. Today I got another dose of those who will not help the hen, but want to eat the bread.

I went to a meeting today. This organization is a not for profit. All we do is raise money for the benefit of "a public entity". Now don't you think the powers that be at that public entity should try and accommodate folks who are donating a nice sum of cash to them? We are not asking a lot, but it would be nice to have a little cooperation. BUT NOOOOOOOO.
I don't want to go into details, well actually I do but I won't.

I'll try a little analogy. You ask me to paint your house because your budget has been cut and you don't have the money. I say I need to earn some money to buy the paint. Then I say can I use your driveway for a yard sale. You say, where will I park my car for a week, I don't think my board would like me parking in the street? You want your house painted, let me have my damn sale in your driveway. So what is so hard to figure out about that? I think the old saying is, You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours. What's happening here is one scratching and one itching a lot. I guess in the big picture of don't sweat the small stuff, this is small.

Sometimes I just don't understand people. Some people are just too out there to be understood.

But for me, I will take it one day @ a time.
