moral = morale ??

Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority...[said] in a statement that it stands by the decision to hold the party to keep morale high and that no taxpayer money was used.

So, who cares? Looks like they're supporting the local economy.
Why do you hate small business owners, Subby?

If no taxpayer funds were used, what's the big deal?

I've always been allergic to flowers...hell I've always been allergic to everything. Summertime is nightmare for me. Ragweed, pollen and mold all gang up on me and just make my life an immunological hell. Once when I was 12 or so, I was at a friend of the family's and I was out on a quadrunner just riding up and down a hill through this grass that was seeding and it all was flying up in my face but I didn't care, I was big and bad and 12 and it was summer and I was having the time of my life. Then over the course of a few minutes my eyes swelled completely shut and i couldn't see shiat. I got off the quadrunner and stumbled blindly down into the valley between the hill and the farmhouse so I could try and maybe get someone to see or hear me, and I farking walked right into the nasty-ass horse pond at the bottom. It was gross as hell and the water smelled like manure. It got in my nose and ears and everything. Anyhow, I slogged my way across and finally my sister saw me and my dad came down and helped me up the hill to the house and chucked me in the shower, then took me to the ER for an allergy shot from a huge goddam needle. It was awful. Just farking awful. I smelled like horseshiat for days and I was in pain, and I wasn't allowed to ride the quadrunner anymore ever. Happy farking birthday to me. Some goddam party.

No taxpayer money involved?

Check.

And we're done here.

Moving on to real news.

Fallen flowers?

To be fair, they have to deal with the poor, or "disenfranchised" all day, they need nice things and a bit of comfort. It's not like their clients will appreciate them.

From another article: The statement noted the authority does not use tax money, instead relying on bond sales and fees.

Frankly, I'm much, much, much more concerned that the senior people at WHEDA seem unaware of how bonds get paid off and who generates fees than I am distressed over a possible minor overexpenditure.

Jakevol2: adeist69: Jakevol2: For those outraged by this, you do realize that burnout is a very common thing for social workers right? The morale of those very caring, very selfless people is important to make sure they are emotionally healthy enough to continue doing what is for the most part a thankless and overlooked but never the less very important job.

Social workers deserve to have fun too.

If $1400 worth of flowers helps let them have it.


$1400 for flowers to boost morale, OK.

But how much did they spend to boost the mens morale?

I don't know I guess you would have to ask someone at the agency. But again how ever much it was if it helped improve morale it is worth it.

hookers and blow aren't something you want to cheap out on. That's all I'm saying.
