Reader234 | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 06:31 am     Tishala, none of us are. I believe that is a "National" policy and 60 minutes did a story on how the Mormons help fund the Boy Scouts, and the Mormons push for this policy. It doesnt come from the boys, we teach tolerance, acceptance, we have a policy called "Safe Haven" in which hazing, pulling, teasing are UNACCEPTABLE, and not tolerated. My boys have written letters, as have the counselors at the Camps disapproving of this policy, they believe it is wrong, and they are out to change it. There is a lot of good in scouting, and that is a HUGE black mark. I just wanted you to know that just because a desk person made a policy doesnt mean we 'practice' it at the bottom level. Also, as I dont 'know' Lil, I do jump to the Scoutmaster's defense. She's not out there to make enemies. AND they teach us in training to "support" the troop, NOT take over!! She is not demanding, she is not manipulative... (oops imho!!) I will be interested to see her today on the Early Show... |
Alaginger | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 07:06 am     Pretty picture of Lillian on the Early Show. |
Tabbyking | Friday, October 03, 2003 - 07:21 am     i believe someone needs to 'take over' this tribe or they will just keep being eliminated...lil wasn't demanding or manipulative, she just sort of went with the flow; unfortunately, that did not get much accomplished. i would have trouble supporting the 'sinking ship' attitude. i had expected lil to be more of a go-getter,i guess. |
Texannie | Monday, October 06, 2003 - 07:26 am     http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2003/10/04/loc_Survivor040.html Local 'Survivor' veteran faces financial reality -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By John Kiesewetter The Cincinnati Enquirer Now that Lillian Morris has been voted out of Survivor: Pearl Islands, she has a new goal: economic survival. "You know, I lost my job to do this. I'm no longer employed," says Morris, 51, who was the third person eliminated from CBS' reality series on Thursday's episode. SURVIVOR CONTEST Join the fun: Predict which tribe and player will win each challenge at Cincinnati.com "I have a son in college, and a daughter who's a senior in high school. So I've got to find something," she says, referring to Clayton, 22, at Wright State University, and Megan, 18, at Kings High School. Morris, scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 617 in Loveland, says she welcomes the opportunity to meet with the Tristate's rabid Survivor fans, or speak to groups. "I welcome this. It would not be bothering me. I love meeting people. I do hope I get asked to do some things in Cincinnati," says Morris, who lives in Deerfield Township with her husband of 30 years, Lonnie, a transportation supervisor for a food service company. Morris, who was nine years older than any other Survivor contestant, says she was sent home in the third episode because the men wanted to keep a younger woman in the camp - mortician Darrah Johnson, 22, from Mississippi - who was doing far less work. "I was the Cincinnati workaholic, but I didn't look like Darrah," she says. "I know they knew my value. But you know how young men are: They value a pretty face more than anything else." Morgan tribe teammates were critical of Morris for losing their last fish hook in the episode. But two others also had lost hooks, she says. "That was just an excuse," she says. Morris was in New York on Friday to appear on CBS' Early Show. She will remain in Manhattan all weekend, and appear on David Letterman's Late Show (11:35 p.m. Monday, Channels 12, 7). But all the media attention comes with a price: She missed her daughter's senior year homecoming Friday in Warren County. |
Lumbele | Monday, October 06, 2003 - 08:32 am     That article makes me wonder about Lil's priorities. If "economic survival" is such a big issue why at age 51, with 1 kid in college and one on her way there, does she drop her job to compete on a long shot competition? Finding a new job at that age is not easy no matter how good the referrals. Being willing to compete in a tough game is admirable, hat's off. But please, you must have known your chances were slim. You gambled and lost. Whining not allowed! Good luck on your job hunt though. |
Pannie | Monday, October 06, 2003 - 05:51 pm     Taco Bell is always hiring. That's probably where I'll be at age 51. hehehe. Maybe she holds on to past pain: lost her job, lost her new friend Ryan, didn't smile at camp. Maybe I'd be downtrodden too if everyone on my team was cuddling up at night but me. poor lil' me. |
Texannie | Tuesday, October 07, 2003 - 05:39 am     She was on David Letterman last night, looked good but not quite like that pic posted from the other site. She was in an AC/DC t-shirt..don't know if that was a gag, didn't see the very beginning. She was really kind of a goof! LOL |
Tabbyking | Thursday, October 30, 2003 - 09:14 pm     oh my heck. i am sure she will be back in the game, and i cannot take that 'sourpuss' swoozie kurtz mouth thing she does. turn that frown upside down, why doncha?! |
Guinevere | Friday, October 31, 2003 - 01:25 pm     ITA, Tabbyking. She is so sour and worried looking all the time. It annoys me greatly. |
Lostintheglades | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 01:11 pm     You took the words right out of my mouth Tabby and Guinevere. I have a hard time watching her. |
Webkitty | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 03:04 pm     I have a hard time watching her too. She pouted, she whined, she cried, she frowned. She continued this with her post boot chats. She bitterly complained that she was booted because Ryan wanted to keep pretty young Darrah around. Very childish. I don't understand why she is so popular. Blech. I was hoping she wasn't the one coming back. |
Landi | Wednesday, November 05, 2003 - 04:14 pm     she needs a little cheese with her whine! |
Bastable | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 05:27 pm     I Lil more and more and more! Ever since I saw those steenking badges, she has been growing on me. And now I just plum her! |
Webkitty | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 06:36 pm     Lets chant............. pout pout pout, complain complain complain, sourpuss Lil is BACK again!! Lil gets the grand prize for champion grudge holder! yea! Such a good example for her scouts. Teach them to hold onto it for dear life, and if your real lucky, you might just get to stick it to them REAL good. What a fine example.  |
Azriel | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 07:33 pm     LOL! Webkitty, that face was so sour I was sure that she had gotten a hold of some of Drake's lemons! |
Bastable | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 07:47 pm     She was picked on. It's a game, and it's her right to vote out people she can't trust. |
Webkitty | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 08:38 pm     Lil had sour grapes because she felt Darrah was kept over her because she was younger and prettier. She has indicated this over and over in her chats and interviews. She came across as being bitter. This type of jealousy is unattractive and childish imo. So what if Andrew never 'got back to her'. Does ANYONE when they are planning on voting someone out? Her insistance on this was as unrealistic as Rupert getting mad because someone wrote his name on the parchment. Its going to happen sooner or later if you play the game of Survivor. She was not picked on. Its a game, and others have a right to vote her out if they want. Trust had nothing to do with it. |
Bastable | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 09:02 pm     People had the right to vote her out, and she had the right to vote anyone out she wanted. She didn't do anything wrong or immoral. She did what she had to do in order to stay in the game. I don't blame her a bit. |
Webkitty | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 09:21 pm     <looks around> who said Lil did anything wrong or immoral? I just think she a pill Yea, that's the ticket.......Lil the pill......runs like the wind....... (sorry Bastable, if you like her that's cool, but she blew it when she kept Jon over Andrew. BIG mistake imo) |
Moondance | Thursday, November 06, 2003 - 09:41 pm     I goin' to have to go with MsKitty on this one |
Hermione69 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 03:40 am     Hey Webkitty, why do you think that was a mistake for her? IMHO, I think she made the right decision for herself. She was at the bottom of a pecking order, she had no friends left at Morgan, and as soon as she lost her special immunity, she would be a target again. By going over to Drake, she showed them she was willing to align with them, and helped ensure that they wouldn't come after her next. If she had not done that, she would have been pretty dispensible at the next TC. I think she probably kept herself in the game longer by doing that than she would have by aligning with Morgan. Drake now owes her a debt that they will not forget for the next few TCs if she plays her cards right. I see the whininess and it gets on my nerves, too, but she is a hard worker around camp. She went right back to work, and couldn't believe how little Morgan had done to work on or maintain their camp. She has my respect for that. |
Webkitty | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 05:40 am     Hey Herm. The reason I feel keeping Jon over Andrew is a spoiler, so I can't go into it on this thread, but I think you know what I'm talking about. Personally, I agree with you but we won't go into it here, K? lol. As far as Lil working hard around camp, Jon works just as hard as Lil does. You read the spoilers, so you must also know this. He gets zero respect for it because he is a poop stirrer. But, I ask you, what was Lil last night? Just because she didn't scream at Andrew doesn't mean she wasn't as sneaky about her vote as Jon has been. I am not as anti-Jon as most, mostly because he is not borrrring but I really feel Lil put the screws to Andrew unfairly. I just watched his Early Show interview and he confirmed that he DID get back to Lil, and, he was the only one who wanted to keep her the first time but was outvoted by Morgan on the issue. Why does Andrew get such a bad rap and Lil get a pass for being so vidictive over percieved slights? I don't think she's playing with a full deck. jmo |
Tappy | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 05:49 am     Gosh would it just kill Lillian to smile just a little bit !! She is a bitter middle age woman who whines alots.... I would not want her for a scout master....I personally dont see anything positive in her at all. I hope they vote her out next chance. I agree jmo - not a full deck !!! |
Grooch | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 07:05 am     Webkitty, you crack me up!  |
Gidget | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 07:08 am     Lil looks like Mrs. Cunningham from Happy Days in the above pic. |
