Oh, there are also adults who don't understand the difference between
gender, sex and sexual orientation.

Simmer down Brian!

We all got our backgrounds and many of us are adult enough that we don't need
to be told by you!

I don't like being called a liar. No one who was concerned with
making a positive impression on Usenet would have posted all the stuff
I have over the past 10 years.
I have no reason to lie.

I was a girl scout in the days of yesteryear 🙂 The two camping trips I
recall were rough camping. There were only about 10 of us girls and two
scout leaders. At the one camp we had to pitch tents. We were camped along
a beach in SC. When the girl in charge of the french toast for breakfast
dropped the plate she was told to just wipe the toast off. There's nothing
worse than gritty french toast, let me tell you!

Try making campfire stew, have someone measure out the pepper, and
just set the top back on the container. When someone goes to adjust
the seasonings, the whole shaker goes intto the pot for a dozen girls
and 1 counselor. Now, we would simply take a spoon and scrape out as
much as possible. But then, someone decided to make it worse and
stirred it all in.

Trust me, even the chili heads wouldn't have cared for it!

It's all summer camp once you're through with school.

Nah, you wouldn't like it now. Having worked a summer camp kitchen a few
years ago and seeing the new rules/regulations set up by feds/state/local
governments, it ain't what it used to be. If sweetie wants to sleep in, you
are violating his rights to do so, if he doesn't like the chow, you have to
make special just for sweetie, if he doesn't like dirt, you have to have an
air conditioned nature/craft area and an enclosed private shower/bath
facility (what ever happened to a privy), if he doesn't want to play with
the others, we have to have an opt out area just for sweetie. No wonder
today's kids are a bunch of weenies. We tell them of the fun we had in camp
then regulate the hell out of it. No thank you.

When I was a kid I went to camp for one session. It sucked. The food
sucked. I was not impressed with the activities. My wife went to a canoe
tripping camp. She loved it and went back every year and became a
counsellor. That camp has a family camp that we go to for a week every year
at the end of August. The food is not horrible. It is adequate, but we go
for the activities and to party with old friends. The accommodation is
rustic. We get a cabin in the woods with cots. We bring out own bedding and
lots of booze. It is my favourite vacation of the year. I take riding
lessons every week in order to be able to go on the advanced ride.

This is not a camp for wimps. It was a place that was established for rich
parents to send their kids to toughen them up. Activities are extremely
competitive. The youngest kids go for a 5 day canoe trip and as they get
older the trips get longer and longer. Some of the kids spend the entire
summer off tripping though the bush hundreds of miles from the camp.

The only culinary contribution summer camp and even Boy Scout camp ever
made was bug juice.
