Random Thoughts 17: Here we go again.

That is disgusting.

Stuff like this reminds me of sitting in my office at the dealership, talking to a friend who worked second shift and accidentally catching a guy who claimed his daughter died to avoid work issues and received some pretty good money off it.

Took my rental back to the airport and missed my chance to run over iowa's DCs.

Just leave their OC alone.

Drives me nuts to read $38,000 dollars. Thirty-eight thousand dollars dollars. Ugh.

That's a hell of a lot more than I can get when I enter my Personal Identification Number number in the Automatic Teller Machine machine.

This is why I struggle to trust ANY GoFundMe account.

I used to work with a guy who never gave money to the homeless guys who would ask for it until he saw a guy with a sign at a stop light that said, "Need money for booze." He gave him the money because he appreciated the honesty.

My dad said the same thing. "You probably would get an i-club award for hitting the OC"

That U of I girl who claimed to have cancer, but didn't? Apparently was looking at ISU before and was was chatting with my daughter about being roommates. There is a mess that was avoided.

Hadn't heard about this where do we learn more about this?

Sitting waiting for a band festival to start. 6th grader is slowly transitions from a soccer girl to a music girl. I’m all for it but man… as a dad the struggle is real in that I just don’t know how to relate to this stuff very well. The extent of my band knowledge is only the one line from American pie. I told her, work your ass off on what you find that you like, whatever it ends up being.

It gets better as they get better. I didn't know boo about dance till my nieces started to participate then you go to enough you can tell the what is good and what is not. Actually speech contests if she goes out for that are pretty cool, lots of talented kids and it has become a spectator sport believe it or not.

I have not been in a "fast food" joint in three years.

Impressive.

I agree. Speech is important. If you’re good at speech, you’re good at sales probably. Everyone needs that skill, regardless of occupation.

Timeline of Events: Bettendorf woman's alleged GoFundMe cancer scam

Maddie Russo allegedly scammed donors out of nearly $38,000 dollars after supposedly being diagnosed with cancer. Here's the full sequence of events.

Turns out she is/was at St Ambrose. She told daughter she was going to Iowa instead.

She's decent enough looking she should have become a dancer if she wanted easy money. Not that dancing isn't a physically demanding activity.

The sky is clear today. Hopefully it will stay that way so I can try to photograph the comet tonight. It should be near the dipper part of the little dipper.

Well it's all hazy. Can't see a single star so it looks like not tonight.

Back in the 70s a bum came up to us on 42nd Street in NYC and said he was bumming money for booze. We all reached into our pockets and gave him what we had being that it was for a good cause

I enjoyed speech contests more than band contests, tbh. Especially the improv and 3 minute prep speeches. It was fun to see the boys talk off the top of their heads.

I recognized Phil and had to look the other guy up.
