*decisive nod*

[shadesong]

I spoke to the person at the Girl Scout Council who's in charge of complaints. Listed off what's been going on. She was very interested in several points. I took care to emphasize

* The harassment in general
* The entrapment aspects of Sunday - the lie about the co-leader being "on her way" - the fact that the troop leader knew that I had had a seizure, etc.
* The lack of supervision of the Junior Girl Scouts on the major road on Saturday
* The "talking-to", and terming of my physical limitations as "excuses"... the Girl Scouts, as an organization, kinda frown on that.
* The twice-in-a-row denial of the Father-Daughter Dance
* The fact that my daughter is one of only two white girls (and the other one only joined in January) and the only Jewish girl in the troop. That casually, because I don't think this is a deliberate act of racism. It may be subconscious, though.

Et cetera.

The person's recommendation was that I go ahead and deposit the money in the current troop's account to make for easier bookkeeping. It will be moved when Elayna moves troops - they've done this before. She's going to get the information on the new troop and give the new troop leader my contact info, sort out the safety-regulations stuff from the harassment stuff, and speak to the service unit director.

It feels good to get some results here.

Alright! Its about time. Way to go 'song. ;) The last thing you need is all that stress over COOKIES. I hope that troop leader gets some kind of talking to as well...she sounds like a real psycho.

I emphasized that to the council-person too. "I've had to go part-time at work because of the physical stress from the medications that my body keeps rejecting. I do not need this."

[unwilly.livejournal.com]

Sounds good, let's see how it plays out.

[stripedsocks.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad to hear you're getting results. What a relief.

[whitecrow0.livejournal.com]

Good. I hope to hear even better news in the future, once she's actually in a new troop.

[dindin.livejournal.com]

Good Council Leader sounds responsive.

[corwinok.livejournal.com]

Raaar! You go, girl :)

[zeyr.livejournal.com]

Excellent. I'm very glad to hear this. The contact person sounds very organized and certain (due at least partially to your own organization of complaints so clearly) and things are moving in the right direction. It sounds like great responsiveness!

Win!

And yet, people continue to fuck with the short chick. Will they never learn?

[aki-dreaming.livejournal.com]

I didn't think any of that crap was gonna fly. Good deal.

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

Thank heavens you're getting this resolved. It's been quite a saga just to read updates about. I hope you are feeling better in general today.

Since when do the Girl Scouts actively participate in perpetuating lies and figments of your imagination?

I emphasized that to the council-person too. "I've had to go part-time at work because of the physical stress from the medications that my body keeps rejecting. I do not need this."

And why would your body be rejecting the meds? Yep, you actually hit that nail on the head...because you do not need them. What you really need is a strong dose of reality, to learn to be a goddamned decent wife and mother, a weedwacker for your inanely overgrowing bush, a razor for your legs, and a paper bag for your head.

I'm so impressed that you felt a need to create a whole account just to troll shadesong. I think it just reinforces her point about not fucking with the short chick, because obviously you're too afraid to fuck with her under your real identity.

You've got better things to spend your life on than malice. Find out what they are and do them.

*sigh*


Serious question here. If your opinion of Song is so tremendously low, why waste your time here? I don't happen to see any connection between you and the GS events that have taken place, so what's up? Why add the vitriol?

[tsarinanic.livejournal.com]

I am so sick and tired of this BS. Why do you care about whether her issues are real or imaginary? Why do you care about how she treats her husband or daughter? Why do you care about the others who may or may not have been wronged by her? This is life, people, and in the course of human events, you cross paths with other people. If you have friends who feel they’ve been wronged by her, then that’s their issue, not yours. I somehow doubt that whatever transpired was completely Shari’s fault. It takes two to tango, Baby, and if you’re going to involve yourself in a relationship with another person, be it romantic, friendship, or otherwise then you put yourself out there and risk getting hurt. Only people in denial blame everyone else for their problems. Grow up and take responsibility for your part in whatever happened between you and tell your friends to do the same. Get over it; move on. If you think that her LJ “Friends” are enablers, then what do you think you’re doing?

Wow. That you actually wasted precious time writing a post just so you could run Shade down. Which means you read her post to. Do you have nothing better to do? No life? Whats next, ya' gonna phone her house and hang up?? How old are you? Please up the dose and quit spamming the rest of us with your mental masturbation.

-'Song has a rather firm grip on reality, darling. However, it appears that yours is rather lax, if someone's grasp on reality is to be judged by the contents of their LiveJournal.
-Her bush is none of your concern unless you're planning on getting into her trousers. I can not personally vouch for its condition, but it's rumoured to be quite lovely.
-Her legs, however, I can vouch for. They are quite nicely shorn and rather shapely.
-You're right, she probably does need a paper bag for her head. They're all the rage in France, I hear. They make rather attractive hats when folded correctly...

Excellent! Glad to see you getting results!

When my brother was in Boy Scouts back in the mid-80's, he had a great troop leader. Very likeable guy, very easy to look up to and admire. Then you find out something like this about the guy...

It's a start.

[hasfartogo.livejournal.com]

You got someone to listen to your complaints and it sounds like she asked the right questions to make sure they got the details straight.

Good luck with the new troop if she gets into it.

[ysabel.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad to hear you're getting somewhere.

[nishar.livejournal.com]

That is good news. Now I hope they actually do something to that chick.

[zarhooie.livejournal.com]

Be well. Silly trolls.... Maybe she has shiny jewelry in her belly and is a collectable?

[dandelion-diva.livejournal.com]

Oh good! I'm so glad the higher-ups are actually doing something. And beyond how good it will be for you to get out of this bloody situation, I'm sure it'll be fantabulous for Elayna to be in a *good* troop with a leader who gives a shit and actually *cares* about the girls. Or, in shorter terms, yay! :)
