This had to be from the school. While data miners can and will sell your email and other info, it is the relationships that makes this valuable to him. You know of him and know his background a little and are known to be a Christian. Thus he feels you might contribute to his cause. I used to purchase information and use the phone book a lot for cold calling when I was in sales. But, I never knew if the household I was calling or mailing to had people living there who could have been potential customers. To dig that kind of info out would be a major time eater and not budget friendly when you are paying someone to do the job for you.
The school should have a privacy policy that is available for you to read. I would see if I could obtain a copy of that and see what it says. If it says it values your privacy and would never sell your information, then you have a beef to pick with the school.
Another thing - Emails of this type are required to have an unsubscribe link somewhere in the email. Usually is it at the bottom of the letter. If it does not, he is in violation of some sort of law, not sure what law, but you could look it up.

Problem they don't just start and stop. For example hippies began around the Viet Nam war but there are still hippies out there and more being born all the time. But, really, there were probably hippies before the term was used in the general population

tomorrow = bananas not only turn brown, they get runny - or it might be they can cause the pudding to get runny. It is always best the day you make it.

I try to keep it even in dollar amount and number of gifts. So each daughter gets a pricey gift and then an equal number of less expensive gifts. Many times they were the same things and knew that (like each got a Yankee candle, chap sticks and a box of office supply stuff). They would then co-ordinate opening gifts. They would open the same size and shape gifts together. But there was also a few that were not the same so they still felt special.

Stop everything including your detergent, shampoo, hair products, and and any other stuff you use. Use plain water to rinse off your face. If you have to use a cloth to clean your face, then make sure you rinse it out several times to get any detergent residue out of it. You will want to do this if possible before seeing the dermatologist or endocrinologist. They will want to rule out all these things before moving on to looking into other causes. So get a jump start on it and keep a record of all you have done to show you mean business.

How in the world did she think that would be OK? Or that would be acceptable? My mind just cannot comprehend someone doing that.

My husband keeps his motorcycle in a storage unit. He rides it about four or five times a month. The daughter's Harley is there too. Plus, there are a few other things. His lathe and other machinist tools are in half the garage and out on the back patio. He uses the back of the truck as storage too. It has a camper on it that locks so he keeps the things he needs to use when cleaning up the cemeteries where family is buried. He can't do that anymore, but has no place to put the stuff so it stays in the truck.

No bake oatmeal cookies, rice krispie treats, forgotten cookies - there are cookies out there that do not use flour or wheat. You just need to Google for them. But like what was mentioned above, keep separate from the other cookies - you could perhaps make a smaller tray just for him.

I have glitter! Just so not like me. But it is ombre - gold fine glitter that fades to the white tip. In order to get the effect to look right, I had to let the tech leave my nails a little longer than I like. They grow so fast, they will be 3/4 and inch past the tips of my fingers before next refill.

You can forgive without having to endure all the hurt again. I say let sleeping dogs lie, not saying your sisters are dogs just using the analogy. If you can find peace without bringing them back into your life, then go with peace and leave them alone. Your mother is responsible for her relationship with your sisters, not you.

I'm waiting for Christmas to be over so I can get my life back! and sorry to be such a downer, but we are waiting for this cancer to do him in with much dread. We know it is coming, but it may be a month, year or even more. Just no telling. Cause usually it is not the cancer itself that does you in, but the side effects. we almost lost him in September due to sepsis due to the chemo, but after several months of working on it, he is much better.

At my last cleaning it was discovered I had a filling missing between the left front tooth and the one to the left of it. It was on the backside of the back of the two teeth so was not easily noticed. the dentist was OK with waiting until the first week in January to fix it. So, sure, it is OK to wait - UNLESS the hole is too deep and near the nerve. If that was the case, it would probably hurting though. So if there is no pain, it is OK to wait.
BUT this time of year it is hard to get in to see the dentist as people are bringing their children in when they are not in school (How horrible to have to see the dentist during Christmas!!!) You might want to make sure you call your dentist soon and get an appointment even if you need to wait a week or two.

Husband is always borrowing office type things from me. So I made him a office supply box. I bought a cash box with a key and filled it with things like pencils, paper clips, binder clips, erasers, sharpies - you get the idea. There will also be other things in there like safety pins, pop-cycle sticks and other things he comes asking for. For my grandson, I purchased a organizer type box like what you put embroidery floss in, only this one has adjustable compartments. For his items I chose colorful and kid friendly shapes.

What a blow. You two have been in my prayers and I wish there could be more that we could do to help. Never feel like you are whining when telling us what is going on. How can we pray effectively if we did not know these things? Please keep on talking and letting us know how you are doing. Also, I too encourage you to get a wish list on Amazon to share with us so we can do more. While praying is a lot, we want to help out in a more substantial way.

Nope, a high price to pay to have another appliance clutter up my bathroom counter. Cleaning my brushes is too easy to do by hand.

Have to admit, I did not know what a dirty Santa gift was myself and would have gone with the first gift. Good to know for future reference that I would have been wrong.

With us it is updating on what is going on and any bragging going on is OK as we love to cheer each other on and are proud of each other's accomplishments. We have scheduled meetings twice a month, once for lunch and the other for sewing at a local quilt store. We've known each other for at least ten years, but there are some new members which is great too. Most of us are grandmothers, or old enough to be grandmothers. Some of us get together even more for shopping and or a lunch out. I know these ladies have my back and I have theirs so I want to hear any bragging they want to do. If you can't brag to your friends who could you brag to? LOL

Hugs for everyone, even people I just have met. There is a lot of hugging going on in my circle of friends and neighbors. Family too.
When I first married into the family, my in-laws were not huggers, but I hugged anyway. My FIL loved it and you could tell by the light in his eyes and the way he stood up and came to my when we would arrive. It made me feel so welcome, even though I was the one to start the hugging tradition. Many of the in-laws do the hugging stuff now and I think it is because they have got older and lost so many of their family.

There are laws about scattering human ashes. I just wondered if any of you all were worried about that. Scattering human ashes in inland waterways is illegal. But, when I see what else is in our inland water, I wonder why they care.
