junk update

Here is the latest on the junkless June challenge.

We have about $95 in the junkpot. We had one person pay the "quitter" fine and a few have paid the penalty so they could enjoy a dessert. 

I appreciate those of you who are acting with the utmost integrity. There are few people who have not turned any penalties yet. I am not challenging the honesty of those people at all. I do want to make sure everyone understands what is considered cheating. Here are a few examples of some penalties:

//A sugar-free mint was considered cheating because the bag said "hard candy" - candy is on the list. Not all mints are candy - you need to look at the bag and be honest.
//a hash round from McDonalds - they are fried
//chicken parmesan - the chicken patty was fried
//a fruit popsicle - dessert / sweets
//a jolly rancher - candy
//tasted coffee - coffee is on the list
//licking peanut butter off your fingers after making a PB&J - peanut butter is on the list
//drink pop (even diet) on June 1st when it is clearly on the list - claiming "I didn't see the list yet... TOO BAD, It was posted and it is your responsibility to read it. 

These are just a few. There are many more. Even if you "didn't mean" to cheat - you need to have the integrity to admit it, report it and pay your penalty. You may try to justify not paying it because you forgot or didn't mean to or it was an accident - TOUGH!!! Your integrity is on the line. Other people are being honest and you need to also.

My point: If you are being totally honest, thank you. If you are cheating and not reporting it, you have some serious issues. If you said you were going to do the challenge then you cheated and decided you would quit instead of tough it out, and now are saying the lamest of all excuses "well, I didn't sign the paper"... I got one word for you - WHATEVER, YOU SISSY PUNK LOSER!!! 

If you said you were gonna do it, finish it. Be a person of integrity. I don't know how you can sleep at night if you are cheating and not owning up to it. You are only cheating yourself. 

Don't be a liar liar, we know what happens to your pants...
