Ballot...... My Sister....

My Sister phoned me today. She wishes to become a member of the Daft Sod Club. The question is: Should we let her in? She is, after all, NOT one of US. Maybe we should have a few rules in here. I mean where do we draw the line? We'd end up with all manner of Riff-Raff!
If we allow her sort in she will soon be followed by her daughter(Trailer Trash) and My Mother (Nutty Bat) not to mention some of her dodgy sidekicks and even our weirdo psychopathic relatives who I've spent my life avoiding. (A bit like the Addams Family)

So, I throw it out to you all. Dear Members and new members and Claudia.

Jamie and Jake are in because of guilt by association (Their Mothers)

For anyone who is new in here and happens to fall into this thread, Daft Sod is a term of endearment. I use the phrase a lot, so when I first used it in here I didn't realize it may be taken the wrong way or wasn't used in the USA. But luckily CatsToy, who was the first recipient, took it like it was meant and demanded we start A Daft Sods Club. Joining is free (Unless you are a relative of mine)

I welcome all and any suggestions as to my dilemma.

Thank you for your co-operation in advance.

Hugs Jxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

PS I do love my sister really, why else would I have taken the time (aged 7) to tie her up and shove her down the stairs? :o}

    I believe
    we need a daft sod auxiliary to help raise money for daft sod functions like drinking parties and trips to Hawaii. Seeing how much love exists between the two of you, I'm sure your sister will be delighted and head the auxiliary campaign. Lynn

    What a great idea! A splinter-group for fundraising purposes only... I LIKE IT!

    They raise cash for "Good Causes".. We ARE the Good Cause. AND we don't have to suffer them apart from saying thanks when the Cheques come in. Awsome.

    Thank you Lynn! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hmmmm.....
    Tough one....how about immediate family members (those living in you household or one whom you produced) may become "Free" members. All others may join but must pay a fee (and it should be hefty...need to fund our parties & trips!!). Only free members may hold a position within the club and have final say on all voting matters!! In other words, the ones paying are just there for their money!! :) Pammy

    I'm not sure.....
    I dunno Tasha, are these Daft Sods who are not really of us, except genetically, going to be Silent Partners, or will they have an actual say?

    And, btw~ "Dear Members, New Members and Claudia?" Exactly where do I fit in?? :-)

    One of my neighbors is John Cleese of Monty Python fame~ may I ask him if he wants to join as well? We can decorate hats fit for a Queen, and perhaps even host the annual Princess Margaret Look-a-Like Contest!

    And,while we're on the subject: Can one buy Daft Sod at the nursery you work at??? If not, I think you should market the brand~ wouldn't that be a hoot?

    Hugs,
    Claudia

    I agree 100% with Lynn as far as those who wish to join our "Daft Sod Society." If they really are interested they will need to form their own auxiliary group whose only function is to conduct fundraisers for those of us who are truly daft. We've all struggled and worked hard to get where we are and we can't just let anyone into our special group.

    I am sure the auxiliary would have a lot in common ... as we do ... and the auxiliary could meet and discuss important items such as why they have to sweep the floor 5 times a day to pick up hair falling out of the "daft's" head ... or why the "daft" keeps losing her keys and forgetting her name and phone number ... and why is it that all she wants to do is SLEEP! And ... as possible fundraising ideas ... I love the Daft Sod idea. I'm sure all of the greenhouses and nurseries would be interested. And ... then there's always T-shirts. I'm sure someone could come up with something clever.

    Oh ... it's going to be great. We've always talked about how wonderful it would be for all of us to get together and meet face-to-face somewhere ... and now we'll have a group of people raising the money for our own special conference. I can't wait!!!

    hugs.

    Daft Sod Dilemma
    Well, I am not sure if I am one of the d.s. members, but I vote for your sis joining. It is not nice to tie your sister up and send her rolling downstairs, by the way. Even I, whom my big sister used to call "the little ingrate," didn't do that. Of course, I didn't think of it, not being as creative as our Turquoise Girl.

    Honored and Happy
    Thank you, President Tasha. We are proud to join the Daft Sod Society.

    Fiona is just too pretty a name to vote against her, even if she is afraid of dogs. We will keep our 3 away from the initiation ceremony as there are quite enough hair-deprived members as it is! Besides, our Yongy Bongy Bo is a terrier-ist. He once scared a group of men so badly that they jumped atop a neighbor's roof.

    While they were up there, they did decide to replace the roof.

    On the plus side, he is wearing a black collar with turquoise flames. (We think people need to be warned in advance, hence the flames.)

    Well...........
    Well, slap my hairy face! Fiona should be considered a Daft Sod until proven otherwise! Until then, we can never be sure of the extent of her Daftness nor her Soddiness.

    Now, as far as my weirdo psychopathic relatives, I prefer to think of them as Crazy Clods, as opposed to Daft Sods, and so they will never be invited to become members!

    And I LIKE my sister, even though I dumped a pitcher of water on her electric blanket as she slept....age 10...LOL!!

    As the Unofficial Secretary of The Daft Sod Club...
    Egads! I just got to this thread, and it's almost all said and done! Proof positive of just how very little my self-appointed role means to The Club... sheesh... Is it so much to ask for, a little appreciation?

    Dear J: As our esteemed Leader, President, Chief Executive Officer, whatever of The Club - I'd say only YOU can admit absolutely anyone of your own choosing. Of course, this should primarily apply only to your own family members. And, this infinite power over membership is often described as: NEPOTISM. Absolutely no other mere member (even lowly me, the only other with a title) can wield this ultimate control.

    Prior to today: Jamie, your own son, is already IN. Also, Jake - Margo's little guy - is also already IN (via the "grandfather" clause*).

    As of this moment - no further exceptions to the original two requirements for membership:
    1. Must be a participating member of this group - the ACS/CSN BC Board.
    2. Must use these two words at least once: DAFT SOD.

    1. & 2. above = automatic, and FREE, membership. As it always has been. No discrimination. All are welcome.

    With all that being stated - LOVE the idea of an The Daft Sod Club Auxiliary! WELL DONE, Lynn! Requirements should be:
    1. Recommendation from a current member of The Club.
    2. Admission FEE - and, and hefty one!
    3. Fundraising responsibilities, with a minimum requirement.
    If the auxiliary member does not meet these requirements: J, you get to KICK 'EM OUT... And, The Club gets to keep whatever money, anyway. And, of course, all money benefits the members of The Club - NOT including The Auxiliary.

    Kind regards, Susan

    P.S.: As the self-appointed Unofficial Secretary whose only task was to track membership, I admit - I've done a poor job. For a while, I was merely keeping a total count. Stopped a while back, at 15, I believe. Never kept track of names. However, I think Moopy and Joe - you've been IN The Club for a long time, almost since the beginning. Sorry, JeanneD - can't remember... Doesn't matter, because you're IN now via your post above. The turquoise font gives you extra points, too. (Points? What am I starting? No, I'm not gonna keep track of points, either.)

    *"grandfather" clause: J - this might be an American-ism. If you need further explanation, let me know...

    I say it is up to you,
    I say it is up to you, Tasha. She is your sister and only you know if she will fit in with us Daft Sods. I hope it is okay to consider myself as a Daft Sod. I'm not a mother but I am raising my niece, and she's my Daft Little Sod!

    Thanks,
