I always have trouble in times of crisis with family members. "You're in my thoughts" is as effective as "You're in my prayers".
Anything else seems to be stating the obvious: "This situation is unfortunate" and the like.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay." For context, this is the previous verse: "Hi Jesus" -robvalue (May 25, 2015 at 6:58 pm)Exian Wrote: I always have trouble in times of crisis with family members.

As much as I love 'em I often think to myself I was born in the wrong one. Majority of my kin, especially the older ones, are as Conservative and religious as they come. I have often come home from family get togethers quite angry. Here lately I am trying to stay away from them as much as possible. My sister and I had an online tiff, and we have not spoken much since then in about a week. Willful ignorance and snobbery really gets my goat, and unfortunately I have seen too much of it in my relatives. It is what it is.

It's a cool nickname (twice removed admittedly). If someone sneezed in my face, I wouldn't speak in riddles either!

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud ..... after a while you realise that the pig likes it! 
What does "blessed" even mean. When my christian friend mentioned that she had received a blessing and anointment (i.e. vicars oilly thumb touching her forehead) at her Sunday service, I posed her this question :
2 identical twins are churchgoers. One goes to the Sunday service and receives the blessing, but the others' car breaks down and he only arrives just as everyone's leaving. What is the difference between the two ?
