I kinda regretted that I'd done it. I don't think I knew, when I agreed, that an actual river was part of the deal.
My grandfather was baptized in the Jordan River, during WWI. I always thought that was kind of neat. If/since the Jordan wasn't an option, I was just as happy to be in the little baptismal pool in my church. Then a few years later, when the church was having work done, they found the baptismal pool was installed with literally no supports under it, whatsoever. Now, this thing was filled with what was probably the equivalent of 6 regular-sized bathtubs full of water (at least), an adult, and either an adolescent or a second adult, a few times a year. That it didn't collapse may well have been a miracle.
All my knowledge of Lutherans came from The Prairie Home Companion.
Oh yeah. Lots of dem Lutherans in Minnesota.
Also Wisconsin, where lots of Germans ended up.
Hey, all. Remember last week when Hec asked if I was almost Not!Broke yet, and said yes?
Well, my car went BOOM this weekend, and I am dropping $500 for a new fucking water pump.
The universe can kiss my white bitter butt.
Mmmm. Tastes like chicken.
Seriously Erin, that sucks out loud. I'm so sorry.
Argh. It sucks, but at least it isn't the death-delivering Blow of Doom it would have been a year ago...or even this summer.
I'm sorry, Erin. Sometimes I think cars were invented to drain our pocketbooks.
Great pictures, Gud!
Sorry, Erin. I think cars know when we have a little extra cash, and conspire to take it away.
Update:
I am still in intense back pain (and at work). I have a doctor's appointment at 2:20, where I will demand prescriptions for : 1) better painkillers 2) flexeril 3) physical therapy.
I better not get the runaround because I am on the edge of freaking sanity and reason as it is and I WILL LOSE IT.

I thought that's why kids and eBay were invented?
