Subway DISCRIMINATES against homeschoolers!!!

Subway is holding a contestopen to any of us that DO NOT homeschool. As per their website:

"2.
ELIGIBILITY. Contest is open only to legal residents of the United States who are currently over the age of 18 and have children who attend elementary, private or parochial schools that serve grades PreK-6. No home schools will be accepted. Employees and members of their families of Scholastic and Subway, their parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and their advertising, promotion and production agencies are not eligible to enter. Void where prohibited or restricted by law."

WOW!!! If you are of the mind that we as HS'ers have as many rights as those in government institutions, you'll understand why I will no longer be enjoying Subway sandwiches. Neither will my Hubba. He's already let me know. He threw in a few choice words, which if I repeat will make my blog no longer family friendly, LOL.

Someone on another blog brought up the fact that the equipment is a large quantity & is meant for a group. I'm guessing this person knows NOTHING about HS'ing. There are HS groups, co-ops, etc., in which this prize would be a welcome gift.

I'll leave it at that.

Wow... Kayla, I hadn't heard that. I'm sad. Subway was one of my fave restaurants... but no more. And I don't even homeschool!

I guess Quiznos and Schlotzky's will get my business for subs from now on!

We sent a letter to our local subway which they agreed to forward to their district office (and hopefully past that). My public school son and his friends all eat at subway on a weekly basis and they all agreed that they won't be eating there anymore unless this is fixed. My son said "Mom, if they said that no women could enter then there would be a bit hissy fit with lawyers and everything. Why would saying "no homeschoolers" be any different?" And that was part of his letter as well as some discussion about that in my letter to them as well.
I'm not sure *what* Subway or Scholastic was thinking when they thought up this contest.

To lighten things up a bit....you've been tagged! I hope you can play along....see here for details.. http://athomeontherock.blogspot.com/2008/05/ive-been-tagged.html

The much requested COUPON BINDER! A how-to pictorial

First you start with a LARGE 3-ring binder . I was able to get about a dozen of these for 50-75¢ each at a thrift shoppe, brand new. Mine are from a business complete with logo, but that's ok. 50-75¢ sure beats 8 bucks at Wal-mart. Plus mine DOES have a front pocket, in case I want to make it a bit purtier. Some people prefer a zippered binder. These are GREAT if you can afford the dough for a LARGE one. This one is especially great as it has a handle for carrying. You'll also need some pocket pages . I prefer the 4-per-page pages. The pockets are a little bigger, which is GREAT for those LONG coupons (which stick out, so I fold them in half) and those WIDE coupons, and especially for holding more coupons than their miniature counterparts! Now others have had luck with other pages. They come in 1-pocket (also known as sheet protectors, which we'll be using as well- we'll get to that later), 2 pocket, 4-pocket, 5-pocket, 6-pocket, 8-pocket; 9-pocke t. Anything with more...

I've moved!!!

In order to simplify, I'll be getting rid of most of my blogs & just downsizing my internet network. We've made a move that you can read about at my new blog, but suffice to say- we're beginning a new life, in a new state, new job, etc. So if you want to hear more about it, Meet me in Wyoming . Don't forget to update your bookmarks!!!
