Secondhand poop... Because it is totally more disturbing when it is someone else's poop.

Eh, they are fairly interchangeable. Some translations title the text Song of Songs, some Song of Solomon. The Hebrew and Greek names are both Song of Songs, but because it is generally attributed to King Solomon, many English language sources call it Song of Solomon. Morrison was likely making an allusion to the…
This church sounds fairly progressive (at least compared to other churches), but Song of Solomon is an interesting bit of scripture. Many churches try to pass off the fairly erotic text as somehow describing how God loves The Church. Which... ew. And then others use it as an endorsement to have Crazy Sexy Times AFTER…
Ugh. I did my own invites for that reason, but I'm also a calligrapher. But out here in Midwest Amerrrika, married women get husband-named on everything. So, even if it's only the wife getting invited, it is Mrs. Husband Name. Even if the husband is dead. Even if it is only an advert from the grocery store.
It's a little late, but I wanted to say thanks for the info! I am not a medical professional but I am interested from a social justice perspective. I heard about the earlier study but it sounds like it isn't working the way researchers initially hoped. Glad you clarified.
But there have been studies done on descendants of people who were "immune" to the plague who were also "immune" to HIV. It has to do with the mechanism of the two infections and the way they each attach to T-cell receptors. The "immunity" mutation was (and maybe still is) being studied for potential vaccination…
I am very disappointed in the decision of the Pennsylvania Board of Ordained Ministry. I chose Methodism some years ago because of their focus on social justice issues, and this has been a very discouraging case. I believed we were much closer to changing our official position, but I can still be a part of making that…

Hi. United Methodist pastor here. Most mainline denominations, like Lutheran, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist, etc., have a formalized education process as a requirement for all ordained clergy. While more loosely-affiliated or non-denominational churches (generally the ones claiming biblical inerrancy, and also…
Ugh. I feel you. My favorite name was always Emma. Until Rachel named her baby Emma on Friends. I was so pissed. And then when we decided to name our daughter Eva Sophia, my dad sent me a newspaper article about those both being super popular. But we said "screw it" and went with it anyway. She's two now and we've…
I'd never heard of it until moving to Kansas. I don't know anyone who buys it, so I've never had any. Funny thing, though, because people have to go to liquor stores for beer, they buy more liquor, too. Temperance fail.
Most chains aren't interested in small towns unless there's interstate access. In the small towns where I've lived (6,000 or fewer) if there was enough interest and traffic for a chain to open, there was enough business to sustain the local places because the product was different (not like coffee shops where you are…
Oh, liquor at the grocery store... Those were the days. Here in Kansas you can't buy "real" alcohol anywhere but a liquor store (not in conjunction with a grocery or gas station). At the grocery store they sell "3-2 beer," or beer that contains 3.2% alcohol or less. Beer companies actually make diluted beers just so…
Yes! Carbs with Alfredo and garlic! What's not to love?
Yay! I'm going to need to get rid of my scale if I make these, though.
Me too! Not even a gas station. I've moved up considerably.
Ok. I get that you all in big cities and on the coasts have hella food choices and Olive Garden is so pedestrian and beneath you, but damn, Olive Garden is my jam. And out here in flyover country, it's considered a viable option. I mean, don't propose there or anything, but…
Nope. Noses and ears continue to grow until you're dead.
Um, we may be married to the same guy. The first time I stayed at his place while we were dating (which he knew about for a week in advance) his bathroom was so gross I debated just not showering at all. And then when I used his towel, I realized it hadn't been washed in eons. It's a good thing he was awesome in every…
I am not your pastor, but I am a lady pastor, and last spring I gave almost the same sermon. It's always good to know that sermons make an impact. High five. Or something.
(I actually talked about my middle school bullies and how they friended me in the sermon. I've never gotten so much feedback. Everybody still has…
