Yeah.. Thank you Susan (Christmas Girl) for leaving this to your 'Esteemed Leader" to sort out... Pay cut coming up, official secretary! (Oh, I forgot, we never paid you).. OK you owe us!

This started back in the summer, one member had a new pic up and I commented that it was nice...... she asked "What... the pic of the cat?".... I said "No! You Daft Sod, the pic of you!"

Apparently this is not normal terminology in the U.S. And caused great hilarity and everyone wanting to be called a daft sod, so we started a club...........Anyone who said they wanted to be in the Daft Sods club was automatically there (Yeah, I'm english and it's a term of endearment there)

Then we launched P.O.D.S. (pets of daft sods) and membership grew to (NUMBERS SUSAN!?)

Aortus?....... Do we need to advertise this position?.....LOL

Anyway, that's how it started.

    Might I be considered for "daft sod" status? Also, I've got four pets . . . two cats, one dog and a tortoise. Oh, and a boyfriend. LOL!!

    Congrats on our new recruits, Tasha!
    They're certainly daft enough. Not sure about the "sod" part, but you're the Brit here, not me. Is this the part where we tell them about the turquoise guppies?

    P.S. I just played the word DAFTNESS for 84 points on Lexulous (a Facebook version of Scrabble). The guy I'm playing against is the Dean of my college. I might start out the New Year unemployed, but I sure had fun!

    The Official Secretary...
    ... of both The Daft Sods Club and The Pets of Daft Sods Club is on hiatus (from her UNPAID positions) until after the holidays. Oh, Esteemed Leader - c'mon, please give me a break, woman! In just a few days, I'm hosting the big Christmas Day dinner for family, AND it's my birthday! Sheesh...

    Will be back on the job(s), fully functioning, at the beginning of the New Year. Yes, it's one of my resolutions.

    Kind regards,
    Susan
