Susan in TN Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Question: Would you say that asking someone to be your shill (ie. asking them to say your words as their own so that it looks like more people agree with you) is dishonest? I was trying to figure out why I was bothered so much by such requests and I think this is why. (This is regarding local discussions on social media regarding local politics.) Well if you have been hired as a paid spokesperson, it seems like it would be OK in general with appropriate disclosures. Otherwise it would bother me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to figure out why I was bothered so much by such requests and I think this is why. (This is regarding local discussions on social media regarding local politics.)Yes, it is dishonest. I teach my kids that's it's all about intent. If your intent is to deceive, then it's wrong, no matter what it may or may not be "technically". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I'm working on financial aid stuff for oldest DS's school for next year. Not quite as bad as the FAFSA, I'm sure, but bad enough. So, I'm thinking about asking Susan to do it for me, since she loves to do that sort of thing. 😜. How about if I blow you a kiss?😘 or make you dinner?ðŸ”ðŸŸ. Or get you a cup of coffee? â˜•ï¸ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junie Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I have felt much better today, so I started my second new medication. This one (sulfasalazine) is long term/permanent. Hopefully I won't have any major side effects. I cleaned some stuff, took a nap -- mostly typical stuff. I have not used my cane much at all today. I will probably take it to church tomorrow, just in case. Oh, and ds16 survived the SAT. I asked him how it went. He said he wouldn't know until he saw his score. :) 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I reminded the stray chickens of how lucky they are to have been caught and brought to a comfortable house with plenty of chicken food to eat and spinach, strawberry tops and apple cores every day, and how comfortable it is to sleep on nice perches over warm straw.

Susan in TN Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I am letting everyone sleep in. It is very unusual for everyone to still be asleep at 7:30 (oh, I guess it's really 6:30) so I am asumming they need more sleep. Dds8 & 10 were up half the night Saturday at their sleepover and dd8 was sobbing at dinner because she was too tired to eat, so she went to bed at 5, got up a few hours later to eat, and then stayed up reading Calvin and Hobbes until who knows when. I'm sure dd18 spent half the night texting her theatre buddies. Ds21 just called me. He's running a 101.9 fever and is coughing and wanted to know if he should go to the doctor. His lungs don't hurt, so I suggested he take some ibuprofin, hydrogen peroxide his ears, drink lots of water, and take some expectorant and see how he feels in a couple hours. 🤒 More coffee! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I have just discovered that I am an idiot of supreme measure. Stupid stupid stupid. I assumed that with dh's new health insurance, if the Vanderbilt hospital and children's hospital are in-network providers, that the whole Vanderbilt system is in-network. I remember dh asking HR about it and he said they were. But now that I am looking in our actual insurance account, it appears they are not. So the places we have gone for pneumonia and strep and GP and broken bones are covered a little, but not much. No wonder our medical bills have skyrocketed. Stupid stupid stupid. Boy do I have a headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I was reading my devotions this morning. I mis-read the words of Amos. He was writing about the "desolate wilderness"; I thought at first that it said "chocolate wilderness." :lol: Oh what a difference a few letters make. Obviously you are suffering from a chocolate deficiency. Go eat some, preferably the good stuff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
