so I hear a lot of people are on this coconut water, coconut milk, coconut oil health craze, so I went and picked up some Malibu Coconut Rum, does that count?????
Ok, here we go. For those who don't know Beckxy, she has come up with a wonderful idea and nonprofit org that we are going to try and roll out. Beckxy will be founder and is she chooses also Chief executive dependant upon her schedule. We need people to volunteer for the board and vote for appointment to fill the positions. Read just a fun read under express the Kid Rock in you to get all the info so I don't have to give details again. The board can be very small to start and grow and I recommend people with some experience in the role to seat that board position but it is not absolutely necessary. We need chief if Beckxy decides to just serve as the head and founder, auditor, bookkeeper, writer for minute and report- we'll say annually for now, it would be nice to have legal if anyone knows an attorney willing to volunteer at this point or probono with pay to come later, chair of committee- which can be shared in the idea process for now. There are others but this will be the core and a good start and we can add as we grow and serve multiple functions until established. I need a representative from each state to look up the tax laws in that state, completely separate from government nonprofit taxing, I will need assistance in research, also someone for computer work, design, and webpage , we don't have to have insurance or an attorney at this point but it never hurst to cover ourselves. So please post whether you want to vote and appoint, volunteer, or likewise for board members and what if any position you would be interested in and if not, would you be interested later on a committee when we are further along to help with deciding how to carry out mission, planning, financial, education objectives, etc.....look forward to your posts. Meanwhile I will look into Facebook page.

Bwahahaha!
Bwahahaha!
Great work, truly! Girl, you
Great work, truly! Girl, you amaze again.
Hope that's a good laugh, and how should we go about making sure our donations get sent to the right spot to be matched?
Whoohooo! I do love this job.
Whoohooo! I do love this job. Although they have strict issues for conflicts of interest , the good thing is that we can donate to any, yes I said any, charity that we want and they will match if I do volunteer hours for that org, soooooo I contributed to the Kid Rock foundation and they are going to match my modest donation but now I have to figure out how I can do 20 hours of work so they get double the donation. Anyone work for the foundation have any ideas because I already sent my request for the contribution so that I can try and get it matched? Beckxsy that means as soon as you can get going and get a tax Id I can contribute and they will match. Of course I would have to have some documentation of some hours I did.;). My husband is such a shit and says I wouldn't be telling people at work that I was a Kid Rock fan like you have to be a dope head or drunk or something to like Kid Rock. Well you know what, I have a little something for him in my pocket! A good old Kid Fucking Rock traditional bird pulled out of my pocket like a rocket. F that. I am walking down that lonely road of faith. Whoohoo oooo, hoo hoo, hoo hoo! So foundation please give me 20- hrs of service that is so that I can get a match and that will be a little over a g. Bwahahaha, told ya I'd find a way!
Amen darling .keep on
Amen darling .keep on trucking and those who hate can take a f..well you know! Please forgive me for sometimes my shoe size 10 fits. Bwahahaha
I agree with some of what you
I agree with some of what you are saying Star, I personally do not have time to go thru the tons of groups that have been put together by friends, yet I try and visit maybe once a month as that is all time will allow for. I also won't have much time to contribute to CARE, as well due to college. Although, I expect to have some extra time during the winter break. Most of those groups are groups of friendly people with the common interest of loving Kid Rock music and doing good things and having a good time doing it. Is Kid Rock God ?... pffft hell naw ! But his and TBT's music is heavenly and I base my spirituality around music in general... so I think it's a matter of how we individually see things and what we get from them. Hope everyone's been great !! And those who hate ~ fuck off !!
Good luck Blue, yep prep
Good luck Blue, yep prep sucks. There's nothing light about golightly. I'm all for nonprofit orgs and those that violate will get caught. Karma man, Karma! The world is round and what comes around will go around. For now I'm about to shoot this f$?@/! Internet service. Trying to do orientation from home and it has shut down on me twice leaving me hours behind when I was ahead and now I'll be working into the wee hours trying to get caught up for tomorrow's meetings. Meanwhile while I'm waiting on learning to load , I'm typing this lovely message and listening to Motown on pandora and waiting for after-hours so I can have a stout drink. Yep even though I'm not supposed to. Gotta live sometime or pull my hair out one. Lol. Man where is Xanax when u need it. Just kidding, it would just put me to sleep.
LOL, come on Star it looks to
LOL, come on Star it looks to me like you keep on trend well. Agree with being cautious, but there are a LOT of fans in this club or who keep up on the internet and there is plenty of good will to go around. These folks who run these programs and charities work their butts off.
Think of how much this club would cost if Bob's peeps ran around monitoring everything on the internet.
And some of these folks that get nasty or angry are that way because they use it to vent which just escalates the fracas, when you add the "friend" components as in "sticking up for mine.". Or it could be because they are dealing with crisis in their own personal lives, and their fuse is already lit.
Helping Communities is Great-
Helping Communities is Great-- But we have Kid Rock Official site, Extreme Kid Rock, Kid Rock Congregation, KRLL, KRF, Rocks Rebels, Eye Candy Friday, Several other Fan based Sites, along with Kid Rock Impersonators claiming to be Kid on Face Book. I just don't see having enough time to keep up-dated with all the sites- and I don't trust some of them. All having good intentions - all except for the ones who impersonate the KID on Face Book - that is creepy. People need to live their own Lives. Granted you can LOVE the Man - but don't make him your Whole Life. I see this as so many follow him like he is a God. I'm truly not trying to pick on anyone, I'm not trying to be a downer- cause with all said I'm sure I'll catch some nasty off my post-- I usually do. Groups are like "clicks" - with numbers they become gangs when out of control. I'm more for ALL for ONE-ONE for All. One site maintained, updated, monitored, with ALL things KID ROCK for ALL the FANS to ENJOY. :) StarsChatter....
Hey RJL, you are still
Hey RJL, you are still amazing. LOL. Scheduled the same day for the same stuff, 4th attempt, cannot get through the pre-prep. I wish us both good luck, and hope they can help you heal and feel better.
Star, this project is a little different, since Bex has been working on this concept awhile, and it took shape as part of a college assignment. As she works to help out her city and problems, she is offering a model for helping in your own community.
Oh, Beckxsy I forgot, I go
Oh, Beckxsy I forgot, I go for an EGD/Colonoscopy on the 30th. They think the place where they reconnected my stomach during surgery is ulcerating which is common but nit usually after almost 3 years out. It's causing a bit of stomach discomfort but still working on things and he just put me on a new antibiotic that is helping so I may be a little slow on the first and may have more testing, hopefully not surgery, depending on what they find. So meanwhile I'll keep looking into things and hopefully I won't have any difficulty with corporate as they do encourage us to volunteer and become involved, I just have to make sure it's not a conflict and waiting just a little while, since I'm new, before I start throwing things out there. Spoke with the girls at the hospital and they are willing to contribute and didn't make it to church this Sunday due to not feeling well. Hope school is going well. I know this is a busy time at school before the upcoming holidays and trying to cram everything in. Been there, done that. Hang in there.
Bluesuede, I would like to
Bluesuede, I would like to think so but unfortunately I'm just like everyone else. Just trying to pay forward all of the wonderful blessings I've received in life. And to starshatter, there are never enough groups in life and there is always a cause. Everyone at some point in life needs help, some more than others and I would like to think that a group would be there for me if I needed them. Always count your blessings, share more than you got, love, live, and laugh for life is to short and this world is a sweet place if we choose it to be so. Ok, enough Forest Gump, for now. Don't make me throw out some more. Lol! If we were all centered on what we are , how would we call ourselves a nation, or a human race, a group , or better yet, a congregation? Food for thought and man I'm hungry!
I feel there are way way too
I feel there are way way too many groups out there now, although the intentions are good, its just one other way to segretate members rather than pulling them together. I'm only a Kid Rock Offical member of the Congregation. An a vetern Cruiser on "Chillin the Most" with Sixthman. Between Work and my Personal Life- the time spent in groups in minimual for me.
RJL, you are amazing. Period
RJL, you are amazing. Period.
Haven't forgot about ya
Haven't forgot about ya Beckxy just training for new job and found some interesting info. I have to check with corporate before having any affiliation with any profit or nonprofit orgs due to conflicts of interest. Yeah, huh? That does not mean I cannot contribute or find contributors. I'm hoping it does not conflict with my video productions that I am writing scripts for as I will have to figure out a plan. Still writing for now because just developing scripts and haven't done anything with them yet. We shall see as I go along. I'll be in training learning their computer programs all this month and it should ease up by beginning of next month. My brain hurts. I know the material so basically it's just learning their computer systems and company goals and how to obtain them. Awaiting royalties to come in and 1st checks and then we can start seeing where things need to go. If you don't hear from me , don't think I forgot. I'm just extremely busy right now.
Awesome job Bobbie Jean. That
Awesome job Bobbie Jean. That will help a lot.
ps - Blue I have something
ps - Blue I have something for you... Shirlee I think you were here somewhere. I will call you tonight. Sorry been a bit of fed investigation at current work along w/ all else... but it'll all work out... later lady :)
ps - I have a few thousand misc ems and a few hundred normals... sorry to anybody if I missed you catching up tonight best I can
Hey Becky - Just spoke to
Hey Becky - Just spoke to accountant and he said to go to the PA. Board of CPA's and let them know that you are looking for some volunteer time, at least for the time being and if they can recommend anybody. He said that they do keep a list of folks willing and LOOKING for these opportunities.
Also, he said if she lives by a college... I SAID SHE JUST WENT BACK!!! :).... he said go talk to the tax professor and let him know what you are doing and ask if he could get a couple of volunteers from one of his classes as a class project and credit for their resume'.
The same for an attorney. I hope this helps somewhat.
Love ya and God Bless You!!!
Well, I got some personal fires to be putting out here... the good news as long as we can keep going, there is always hope ... so I gotta get going... Love, Bobbiejean
Bobbie, so good to see you!
Bobbie, so good to see you! Bex, what did you decide to name the group?
cool beans jelly bean!!!
cool beans jelly bean!!! well, back to the gym starting well... in a couple of minutes. have to make the most of what Im paying for at least. not making regular has really taken toll on my energy and stuff... so wish me luck... oh gosh I almost wrote lunch see where my brain has been.. ???
you are rught Becky on the taking care of oneself. My Dad always says, if you don't take care of you, how can you be there to help others. Dad's right and you too. And did you watch that interview on wrif radio... so cool! God Bless him... so big!!!!!!! Thx for the leeway, and understanding. How is school? You know my niece just went back. I told her to get a bus mng degree so when she hits it big she can mng money better than me :))) She did, along with yrs of my Dad pounding it in her head. He still tries for me, but says he knows dif strokes dif folks and thinks maybe he sees that now.
Well... gotta go and as you always know, but I feel I just have to say one more time... I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
ps - glad to hear about the "keepin' on w/ the smilin' "
well.. gotta go for now...:)))
Hey now !! There's no let
Hey now !! There's no let downs here.. only good things. And, good things take time, right? Glad to see you are busy... that's the wonderful thing about the event of losing a job.. eventually we move on and find other great things.. better things whether it's preparing for the new job, writing, or taking a few college classes.. we're on track :)
I never get tired of telling this story about an old minister who used to come to the hotel... there was this swag about him.. but anyway, he'd always leave and say to me... "If ya can't be good to others, at least be good to yourself" .. meaning there will be time once you are good to yourself to be good to others.. just take care of you now ; )
Always smiling Bobbie Jean, Rock On !!
Becky, sorry if I let you
Becky, sorry if I let you down. I have been dealing with so much since beginning of Sept... but so much good has come up too though. Just home from event. I can't promise, but I will ask our CPA and I will at least reach out to some att's. I can't promise anything... but always remember... anything is always possible.
Keep smilin keep shinin :)))
Glad you found me and don't
Glad you found me and don't give up on your community. She's right, you don't need an accountant or attorney to start but it helps when things start to grow. Never, ever hurts to have someone with legal knowledge , believe me. I think we should start with your community, ie your idea and I'm still in. Just working on script for new videos and getting office set up from home. I'm here though, just let me know what you need and by when. When I have dates and needs and a goal, I tend to work faster. I am getting together with some girls from the hospital next week and I'll see what I can drum up. Hell, I wouldnt mind gathering a group to help with your college education because I can tell already, you will and do make a difference. You just let me know and thy will be done. Also I meet with the church group on Sunday's . Just wondering? Our church group has a program to help woman make it through college. Do they have that there?
Right now it's nothing more
Right now it's nothing more then a very small group making suggestions and bringing awareness to our own communities that we live in about volunteerism, donating, and helping out where we live. It's not a nonprofit organization at this time.. not sure it will ever be. We are talking about a lot of volunteer work inside our own communities, we were motivated by what Kid Rock has accomplished with giving back to his own community, as well as other communities, and so we celebrate and follow his example. What's it take to donate your time twice a month by serving homeless... taking that extra chunk of change and buying a bag a groceries or volunteering at a fundraising event. That's about it. And frankly, with college and work, I don't have a ton of time to be an administrator at this facebook group. I just believe is all. I believe in Miss Candy's mission, I believe in Miss Sonia's mission, and all of the greatness in-between. Those are the things that bring a smile to my heart and only wish for it to keep going the best way that I can contribute, too.
This whole thing came about from a topic I had to write about in college. My city needs a ton of help... like many out there.. and the city's community needs to start caring.
Sonia, thank you : ) I would love to hear your ideas on how to get it started. Are we attempting to help the same group? I doubt it because it's more getting involved in one's own community, I'd say... volunteering for the local pantry, donating food and clothes, donating goods to habitat for humanity... my city has a non-profit that goes around on clean-up the city events.. and a ton of non-profits for keeping kids occupied and in school... there's a non-profit for veterans helping homeless veterans.... so it's more about getting the word out, and getting out there and helping in anyway ya can with-in your own community... which I know you all do already :) Thanks again for helping to guide me.. you rock !!
You are quite welcome!
You are quite welcome! Anytime. Unless you plan on filing for 501(c)3 status (which it sounds like you are not)...sounds like you guys just want to help out and share what you have done! I'm all for that. I extreme coupon as some of you know. What I can say about it is it helps...I've given so much stuff away that I would normally not be able to just go out and buy...I generally help my local food bank. I also teach classes on couponing and do not ask more than my cost of materials to the class. It feels good to be able to give back, no matter how small...
Very nice of you, Sonia. Bex
Very nice of you, Sonia. Bex, just to be sure, is C.A.R.E. another name for Eye Candy Friday Club: http://www.facebook.com/groups/eyecandyfriday/?ref=ts&fref=ts?
Not sure what the attempt is
Not sure what the attempt is here, but I would be willing to be a sounding board. I've done everything within legal for the Kid Rock Life Line. I can't sit on your board due to conflict of interest (something you will learn about). But I can help get your started. You don't need an attorney or an accountant if you do the research. However, if we are both attempting to help the same group of people, I suggest pooling our resources. If you are interested you can reach me thru the website, www.kidrocklifeline.com.
Woment in action! I love it,
Woment in action! I love it, love the updates! Becky, you rock, sister. I'm so damn proud of you :) I'll keep checking back to watch this all unfold. Love and CARE to you all!
Not sure if this helps... but
Not sure if this helps... but the group page is listed as C.A.R.E :)
Hey RJ.. I have to be short..
Hey RJ.. I have to be short.. have my first major essay due in two days.. and I just joined up in a challenge at college (Win Win Situation) read 40 books by May 31, 2013 and get a cash scholarship of 400 bucks to help pay for textbooks. Talk about coolness !! Townsend Publishing is doing it via our college for 1st year students who don't read much. Ya have to go back to the man that gives ya the books and answer questions about the story. You also get to keep the books :) First up.. Ethan Frome. Will look you up on facebook. Can't do it from here. If you are too private... I may not be able to find you. I go by Beckxy Lynn on there.. and I may be listed pretty private as well. I have two fb pages.. my private friends, family, and co-workers one for networking and jobs.. and then my Kid Rock fanatic one..lol Will look ya up and try to get with ya by this weekend. Have a great Wednesday !!
Beckxy, do I Facebook you
Beckxy, do I Facebook you through here? I may be smart at something's but technology is not my strongest area. Now research , science, clothing, fashion, animals, fishing, hunting, marketing , and business developement - it's on! Or you can facebook me @ Rebecca LeBlanc as I keep private and only friend those I know and send me the info that way. Just let me know. I just got on Facebook initially because I had a marketing friend who's sister inlaw knew Kid Rock some how so I got him to friend me on his old Facebook and once you get on it, well y'all know how it goes. By the way , I'm not afraid of putting that name on here because that is not my name now and for some good reason the 2 are not grouping together if you do a search. Yeah! That's my French /Arcadian maiden name Rebecca Ja'nean LeBlanc. I so did not want to change it when I got married, although he insisted. We have been together , oh I think, 23 years but didn't get married until 8/8/8. Talk about taking your time. After being married the first time and my ex dying I just was not in a big rush to jump back in so I lived in sin for just a few years. Lol . I lived by myself for 6 years while raising my kids and going to college and wouldn't even consider moving in until after graduation and then for years he asked me to marry him and well, one day I gave in. Lol
