Michael:

~~Sheila just made a tear-jerker of a post over yonder that is a real hoot!

Evidently she spent a lot of time with a reporter for a local high school paper and then the reporter ended up writing the usual and customary "anti-tanning" paper.

So how does ~~Sheila handle this embarassing situation (besides crying)?

- Does she suck it up and admit she made a mistake that she will learn from?

- Does she publicly state that she made the mistake of treading where angels fear to tread?

- Did she warn people that talking to high school and college reporters should be avoided like the plague?

Nope!

She asked "What Would Chunn Do?"!

Well, ~~Sheila, I'll tell you "What Chunn Would Do" in case you are interested. Mr. Chunn would have been smart enough in the first place not to blunder into a mess like you did. He would have referred the writer to someone like Joe Levy (who is experienced in handling reporters) and stayed the **** out of it (which you should have done)!

"A person should never be ashamed to admit he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday. [Jonathan Swift: Thoughts On Various Subjects]

So now, ~~Sheila, I hereby "officially" award you a new "handle" that you can use when you make your unintelligible posts here - ~~Wiser-Than-Yesterday~~Sheila!

Off the old block:

Where are your shift key capital letters .. you are not allowed to omit them all of a sudden as a copied new "trend" when you've used them in the past. Be consistent:

Class any questions?
You will all be tested next week.

(Capitals when appropriate and spelling OK)

Have you lost brain cells between then and now? Four mis-spells in 20 words:

"you are geting paid to arnt you?they are speachless ....that ends it,
if i feel genourous i say the more"

Steve:

We need to take up a collection and buy you some Corvette books to read. Since you retired from G.M. you have WAY too much time on your hands.

Fess up Steve, tell us what's REALLY going on between you and ~~Wiser-Than-Yesterday~~Sheila. Inquiring minds want to know!

Don

PS: Are you her ghostwriter? LOL

Don try not to live vicariously through anything you read on-line. I'll leave it up to her to answer your 'inquiring minds' musing.

Yep - forward the Corvette collection right here. I really miss the free ones from work, but I don't miss the alarm going off at 6:30.

Ghost writer - come'on: geeks could NEVER write like the hussey.. Have your webmaster (solid?) check IP addresses if you have any doubts.

Got your 20K watt UV laser yet? .. steven

Solar,
Chipp is Canadian, He thinks in French and writes in English. Much is lost in the translation, like CAPITAL letters. Chipp is cool though and has some interesting ideas.

Rep Power: 24 fungirlz is on a distinguished road
Sheeeeeeeeeeeellllllaaaaaaaaaaaa Darling does it again... I must say she has quite a talent in opening her mouth and inserting her foot..

You all know I tried to understand her motivations when she'd do "her thing" in her postings here.. I honestly feel sorry for her. She seems to really want to be apart of the "positive aspect" of this industry.. but she self destructs at every turn, and gets down right nasty and abusive in her language.
We have discussed over and over here about dealing with the media..

Joe himself has offered us 100s of times in his newsletters packages on how to deal with them when they call upon us for information..
I can't understand why she'd even attempt to speak with any of them.. especialy high school or college reporters. Most teachers teach them to "trap" and "shape the interview".
Does she think she is so far above the master JOE "MR. SMART TAN" in dealing with the media???
Wow... She is delirious........

Cub Reporter,
Chris

I think it is instructive to actually READ the story, as published, now do that, and come back, read the Smith commentary, and you tell us,is DS right, wrong, or just out to lunch on how this story appeared in print.
