Thinking back over my recent trip to SC.  I had a neighbor when we lived there who became a beloved friend.  She is quite religious but not pushy about it....her faith seems so organic.  She grew up hard and has experienced some rough stuff but overall has a happy prosperous life.  I spent two afternoons sitting on her front porch and it was some of the best times of the journey.  The first day I mentioned that we were an unlikely pair to have become so close.

We went to lunch and I spaced out the praying first thing.  She said she wanted to say grace and I said "Of course" and put my fork down.  As she free-styled her prayer thanking father God for the food to nourish out bodies, etc...she then added- Thank you father God for bringing awty all this way just to see me- then she giggled a bit.  She knows where I stand with religion.

I will long remember those hours on her porch talking about things heavy and things light-hearted.

She is one of my favorite people in the world.  I think I miss her more than I realized.

Your neighbor sounds like a woman I used to know, except I fucking hated the woman I used to know. She wanted to have sex with me, but I didn't want to have sex with her, so she made me suffer.

You have no idea how tempted I have been to ban your trolling self.  

I would be thankful if you would never again reply to anything I post.  Of course, I can't require that.
