After my sister sent me that funny video the Turkey Rap, I went on You Tube to see how I could share it with you on my blog. In doing so, I found those guys had done another video that is just as funny called The Turkey Hunt! What a riot! I hope you enjoy it!
My sister sent me this video in an email, and it was so funny I wanted to share it on my blog. It is the Turkey Rap! I hope you think it is funny too!
In this area, summer ends on Labor Day. So a lot of people go all out and have huge weekend parties or last ditch getaway weekends to the ocean beaches, the Bay, the rivers or even lakes. It’s all about getting to a large body of water and swimming, boating, and fishing.
Friends of mine have a little cabin on the river about 150 miles south of here. They were nice enough to invite me and a couple of our friends to come down on Labor Day weekends and camp out. I’m thinking about it!
My brother has ADHD. Because of this he sometimes needs a little bit of extra help in college. Help in the way of being given extra time to complete assignments. Unfortunately, the college he is now going to won’t let him have extra time to complete assignments. Because of this he has run into a snag that is preventing him from graduating with his bachelor’s degree. He needs to get a “C” in a particular class. His professor was a hard-nose who would not give him any time extensions on his assignments, and he needed an extension. Because he could not get the extension, he received a “D” in the class, so he can’t graduate unless he takes the entire class over again, which would cost him an extra $1,000.00.
He really needs this degree to get the job that he wants. He has tried everything possible to get the grade changed to an “Incomplete” and get the assignment turned in, but the college won’t allow it. He has gone all the way to the top administrator, and even though they admit that they “could” change the “D” to an “I” and then let him turn in the assignment and get that “C” that they simply don’t want to do it. During the last meeting they went so far as to encourage him to stop pursuing his degree, claiming that he doesn’t need that degree to get the job that he wants. I find this to be an outrageous claim because he tried to get “that job” and was told repeatedly during his job seeking interview that he DOES need that degree. When he signed up for the courses at the college, they also told him that he “needs” this degree. And now that he is only ONE assignment away from getting that hard earned degree, they are refusing to let him turn in the assignment and telling him (after thousands of dollars spent and many hours spent pursuing the degree that he has been repeatedly told he needs and telling him he doesn’t really “need” that degree and he should just go get a job!
What a tremendous disappointment, and what a huge ripoff! And yes, he will end up taking that course over again, but NOT with that same professor. It would be a huge disservice to himself and our parents to stop one class short of his hard earned degree. From this point on, however, if and when anyone asks me about my opinion of that college, they will get an earful!
I am really happy to hear when someone displays that they have a sense of humor! In this day of doom and gloom, we need to laugh at ourselves from time to time. And for that reason, I was drawn to watch, and share with you, Joe Jonas (from the Jonas Brothers) rendition of Beyonce’s “Single Ladies.” I have to admit I’ve never even heard a Jonas Brother song (that I’m aware of) but Joe Jonas has my kudos for doing this video. I heard that it was done because he lost a bet, but whatever the reason, good for him!
