vw, take care of yourself. If talking to the doctor is what you need, try paging again. If a good night's sleep is what you need, go to bed.
And Teppy, egad. I think my "favorite" sentence is
"To even insinuate ANYONE would have said anything of that nature goes to establish the creditability of your own assumption of a reasonable excuse to end your tender in the PR committee."
It's so obvious that someone is trying to impress by using big words without knowing what the words really mean. In a perverse way, it's very amusing.
Also,
DH and I had a kerfuffle a few nights ago about how to get to the closest ER (you know, just in case). He prefers the closest one, but I firmly believe that the next nearest one is best because it's a children's hospital.
Not a parent, but I'd suggest knowing the way to both.

We do have that covered. Honestly, if it's life threatening, I'll call an ambulance, who will take the kids to Children's. But most of the parents I know say the kids get transferred to Children's from regular ER's anyway. They're both less than 10 minutes away, regardless.
It's so weird. Before I had kids, I wouldn't think to map the route to the nearest emergency room.
Before I had a rugby team, I wouldn't have known the best route to the nearest emergency room.
Okay, I shoulda had dinner instead of peanut M&Ms and ice cream.
But a sugar binge seemed like the proper response to being called a liar liar pants on fire.
I think I want a turkey sandwich. I can't think of a convenient place that's still open that I could get one. Hmmm.

It sounds like the proper response to me, but I haven't been very good with my eating habits lately.
I actually feel pukey and have a headache.
Next time I'll have the turkey sandwich BEFORE the sugar binge.
(I keep typing "turkey" as "turnkey." What is my subconscious trying to tell me??)
Teppy, O.M.G.
I would expect the board to tell these idiots to go fuck themselves. Or at the very least, make a clear pronouncement that this sort of behavior is unacceptable in your organization, especially from its officers.
If that doesn't happen then obviously these idiots have frightened all the sane people away, and you'd best be rid of them.
Those people write worse than I do.
Perhaps you should have sent them the definition the word volunteer?
And honestly, I really don't see why you can't have your own group. Non-work groups get together because they care about X. There will be conflicts, but you put up with things to a point. But people join, people leave , groups form, groups disinigrate, some times they even shift their focus.
and I really can't get over the fact that volunteers are treated so poorly. Volunteers have no obligations. Idealy, they will do what they say they will, but that is far from the way it works. and there are ways to get rid of poor volunteers. but no organization can get away with treating volunteers so poorly.
I know you are angry, teppy, but I am giving them the new england stare and blink of utter disbelief and contempt. - you all know the look. It is the one where mom gives you that one more chance to say " i really didn't mean to say that" When she know perfectly well that you did say it and there are consequences.
