I was just thinking about how otterly beautiful I am.

Quote:Five years ago this month, one of my oldest friends died by suicide (though it is so tempting to say that she “died suddenly”). A lifetime of loss would not prepare me for the way this buckled me in half. I would see my friend in the T-shirts my son put on, every time I picked up a tea towel or made a cup of tea, because this friend was so incredibly generous, she wallpapered my entire life with that generosity and love. It wasn’t about the objects as much as the thought that at the time she picked out the tea towel or the many tea tins that line my cupboard, she did so because I was on her mind. I was alive for her even though I was absent. In that moment she chose to remember me. How can I return this gesture now, when she is no longer here?

Guess there was no leprechaun around for you to stick your thumb up its bum.

Is that with the American J or the Spanish J?

American. If English was good enough for Jesus, it should be good enough for us.

I actually had a moronic broad from Alabama tell me "If the Kings James Bible was good enough for Jesus it's good enough for me".

....

All I could say was - WOW......

You just don't see that level of stupid very often

I once had a person IRL try to convince me that Jesus was an Anglican.

A white, Jewish, Anglican, itinerant Rabbi.

That was damned clever of him.

As Christianity dies, apologetics grows.

This is called the bargaining stage of grief.

I had a guy in the service from Texas say he was " from God' s country".

I quipped "And he doesn't even LOOK Jewish"......

Am I the only one who doesn't give a fuck about the latest, or any, royal drama?

I am sort of enjoying it.  It's an okay change from "all Trump, all the time".  Let the spotlight shine on the royals for a while.

As for the upcoming Oprah show though, I couldn't care less.
