Hi Randy, I was a little taken aback by your reply to my comment on this post. I guess I just thought that folks know the difference between being spiritual and being religious. You're right; I don't go to church. Although I think I believe in a "higher power" most of the time, I know I definitely do not subscribe to any of the nan'made trappings of an formal religion. What I know is that, when I see a spectacular sunrise, or I am on the sea witnessing the awesome power and beauty of nature, I feel in my heart that there is something more than me in the universe. It is a very private and solitary feeling and "reverance", if you will that is quite different from the sacraments and vestiges of my Polish Catholic upbringing. Your comment to me of "Perhaps some day you'll see the light in reason and common and sense" disturbed me a bit. Where is the "tolerance" in that statement? I think I missed it. It sounds to me more like an arrogant and condescending put-down. Are you SURE you're right on this topic? Because I must admit that I am not sure about this topic at all. Perhaps you can explain to me what is unintelligent about searching and admitting that you are not sure one way or the other on this topic. That's where I am.
Sounds to me like the "woman" needs to learn that Caleb is no longer interested in her. She sounds like she is discounting you because acknowleging your importance to Caleb would mean that she "lost". It also sounds to me that she was aggressively "going after" him. You're right to be irritated at her, Jenn. At least in my mind. If somebody was doing that to me, I would be a little more than irritated. I'd be downright upset, and I would tell the idiot so in no uncertain terms. By the way, welcome to MyBloggers. ]I hope you don't mind, but I've just added you to my friends list.
Wow! You and I must have the same emailing friends!!!!
Don't you wish they had Spell-Check for these damned comments??? The two unrecognizable words in my last comment to this post are "achieving" and "relate".
I too love The Bard. On stage, I've been in Comedy of Errors, and Much Ado About Nothing. When I taught school, I "translated" The Tempest into a something that lower-acheiving Amercan kids could realte to, and it became The Wicked Massive Storm. Lots of fun! How could a school drop Shakespeare from its curriculum????!!!!! The greatest writer in the English Language ever! That's unconscionable!
WANDA!!!!!! IT'S YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's SOOOOOO GOOD to hear from you again!!!!!!!!!!! I've missed you! Try sending me another blogmail when you get a chance. I've just added you to my friends list! (Can you tell I'm excited to hear from you?)
A lot of rain in the summertime, eh? Sounds like the Northwest corner of the U.S. A lot of people like it, but I NEED the sushine!
Absolutely incredible! Such talented and creative people in this world!
Time for a new job, kid. Recent events in my life has just pounded home the message that you've got to live life NOW because there may not be a tomorrow.
I agree with you, Holly. I don't mean to diminish the dispicable nature of the crime, but it is JUST as dispicable to rape a full-grown woman as it is to rape a child! Remember those old, yellow signs that soccer moms used to put up in the rear windows of their Caravans that said, "Baby On Board"? My response to that was always, "So what?" Are people really going drive more carefully around this car because a baby is inside? Why is a youngster's life more important than any other person's life?
Man! I just GOTTA get the sound fixed on this stupid computer!
Sorry to hear about your friend. I just finished writing a post about cancer, my mom was just diagnosed with brain cancer yesterday.
Very cool!
These are GREAT answers! I can relate particularly to #17, substituting the word "pie" for "brownie." Nothing wrong with Dean Koonz. Mary reads him all of the time. If I could, I'd help you set up your new TV, but it took me over a month to get mine up and running correctly!
Don't own a gun, and I'm not quite sure how I feel about this ruling. I believe that the more available guns are, the more they will be used. I know that there are certain areas of close-by cities that you take your life in your hands if you walk through them. I also feel that it is important for people to be able to protect what is theirs. This is not a cut-and-dried issue.
