You would assume that they must have rubber training grenade that these people could throw a few times first. There ought to be stages to training people to throw a live, explosive device.
For God's sake, never get in a car with her again! You are right that's she wants a reaction from you and apparently is willing to get you both killed to do it.
Because sometimes you want Mexican food and sometimes you want Taco Bell!
even though I'm an atheist, I love god-music.
Spit laugh: that's what I did at your great comment.
I'm having weird stomach contractions as I type thinking about eating a Taco Bell lobster (although it could be the sausage and egg Crunchwrap I ate this morning). This is a company whose idea of breakfast is going to the Walmart it's across the street from, buying up all the microwave Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls, and…
I can't remember which Dirt Bag it was, but it described this particular Beiber look as "wearing a bucket hat and a bandana around his neck like a little baby at the beach". I read that and barked out laughing so loud at work that I actually woke a guest. Without ever even needing to see the picture. And now that I've…
Raised Catholic now atheist here, and I went to public school. Nonetheless, I mean nuntheless, I've been fascinated by nuns since I was about 10. I've read books about convent life, most notably "The Nun's Story" by Kathleen Hulme. This novel, which was a number one bestseller in the 1950s, is of course the book that…
My grandfather's cousin is a nun, and she is one of the loveliest people I've ever met. And it had never occurred to me that she didn't ALWAYS want to be a sister until she was telling us how she didn't join the convent until she was almost 30, because she didn't want to get married, but DID want to help people. She…
"… the painfully fake and boring Breaking Amish."
I wonder if nuns have been as celibate as priests historically speaking? It would have been a good option for lesbians to escape marriage just like the priesthood was a good option for gay men. I bet there were some intense relationships in heat convent.
I have a good nun story! When my dad was little his friend's aunt was a nun teaching little kids in a Catholic school. One day she asked the class, "What's 3 + 4?" All the kids yelled, "7!!!" Then she asked, "What's 4 + 3?" All the kids were like, "Huh?" So she pointed to the smallest kid in the room and asked the…
Oh, thanks for that link! I've actually thought a lot about how if I had been born in Europe in the Middle Ages or Renaissance, I would probably have been a nun. I mean, medieval childbirth??!
Wedding in exactly 1 month? Book themed name? If you tell me your wedding is in New Hampshire I may be going...
You raise a GREAT point, which is that the main sin when replying to an invite is not to reply at all.
So, here's the thing- an invite is just that, an invitation to attend. It's not a mandate and there's a reason why there's a "no" box on the RSVP. I had plenty of people decline for our wedding because it was too expensive to get there, or their budget was allocated to travel for a holiday a few weeks later. I have…
