Laura, you're off, so you won't see this, but ::mwah!::

So good to see you back, and I hope things are cool on the weather front, and return to normal soon!

Well, thanks, Fay. Yeah, that's not the way I hear it from other UKers either, just cause y'all don't have a Bible belt.(Lucky sods.)You lot might have jumble sales and make cakes for the vicar and like that which even your friendly heathen does not object to, but I can't imagine a bunch of Brits protesting the use of the word "God" in a movie or freaking because your kids learned evolution or putting faith healers on the telly.And those were the parts of American religious...culture to which I was referring, not the part where congregations or councils form parts of the community. (Actually the thought of a British faith healing amuses.) "Well, if it's okay with you, I've told the nasty demon to step off now."
"Really? Ta ever so." (Suppilcant stands) Great, I can walk...that's really brilliant. Been a really long time."

I make good punkin bread. Yum.

But why, oh why, does lite cream cheese have to have the texture of Flubber?

Can I just tell you how much fun it is to read the survey responses? Some of them are priceless.

Don't you all wish you were having my fun?

vw - did you go again?

though I know why you don't want to go - I am wondering if the ER can giv eyou steroids

I'll bet it is fun, vw. You get to hear everyone's not-spoken thoughts.

and Hi ! Laura . may you get power long before you expect to.

I got my steroids, finally. So, I haven't gone to the ER again. If I have another attack today, I'll be going, though. I don't want another night like last night.

You get to hear everyone's not-spoken thoughts.

It's a power that I hadn't really considered before doing the survey. I don't know why. It's kind of cool, though....that people trust me enough to share this stuff. And I take it seriously.

Also, I love reading the stuff on the Bronze. I lurked there forever, but was too intimidated to ever post. I feel like I'm finally making a connection with these people.

BWAH!

And I also totally slacked on saying, Great interview! Though their failure to honor your "e" was very distracting. And, yeah, the bit about England being ruled by churches was a bit headscratchy. Not that I've done more than live a year at a university, but my very distinct impression was that all of the students, and all the faculty and staff who weren't actually connected to the chaplain's office, regarded churchiness of any sort as picturesque but quaint. Nothing wrong with it, really, and a lot of it was quite pretty, but it was just baffling that anyone would take any of it seriously. I grew up in one of the most secular corners of the U.S., and it still seemed about a million times churchier than the U.K.

Howsomever, all the parts of the interview that had to do strictly with your own self, how you see the world, and what you write and how and why? Totally rocked, missing "e" and all.
