Hmm, billytea. Maybe my memory is even more tarnished than I thought. I didn't recall that difference, but I was glossing over something that would still be a major difference about icons: as it was explained to me, the icons were thought to be more than more depictions but to actually be a housing for the divine presence of whatever being was being depicted. Which even present-day RC would have a problem with.

Nope. Nestorians believed that there were times when Jesus was human and times when he was divine. For example, when he was a kid and making mistakes... human. When he struck down and killed the other little kid for some transgression (which is a story from one of the rejected books of the bible), divine.

And really pissed, apparently.

Sure enough, the next time I talked to my mom, she was singing their praises.

your mom and I need to have lunch some day.

can anyone explain why people seem to lose their ability to drive normally in Costco parking lots?

Well it has to do with avoiding the assinine people with big carts walking down the middle of the parking aisle.

> Nestorians believed that there were times when Jesus was human and times when he was divine. For example, when he was a kid and making mistakes, or you know still in the ancient version of diapers and shitting all over himself... human.

Hmm again. My understanding of Catholicism is that that would still be a heretical viewpoint. Unless I'm really turned around and you were actually saying "YES. That would be a heretical POV."

I'm willing to marry this week's Dangerous Dressing guy. So far.

Is he the one in the cowboy suit and the Valentino/Sheik outfit? He was totally game.

So was the woman last week. I don't think Americans could do it. We're not cheeky enough. We don't have that innate camp spirit of the Brits.

Dawn, the same thing happens in Giant parking lots. It's one of the reasons I don't go to the one that is right next door unless I'm walking to it.

I bloody well could. I haven't seen the show, but I've worn all SORTS of things out.

Ahh I see. I was thinking that the cart pushing people were a carry over from the inability to drive, where really it's something in the magic of the giant carts that makes people be rude and not pay any attention to where they are.

Eta: Sarameg, I'm really glad that we don't have any Giants here in LA. I don't think I could deal with 2 places with that sorta magic! Darn Costco and their cheap gas, darn them to heck

No. It's heretical. It's just not contoversial or really a huge debatable point.

I suspect the two of you'd get along quite well. Oh, did I mention that in running the reading program for second graders, she's managing the high school tutors? She's always taught elementary and Head Start with no interest in the upper levels, but she so enjoys the teens. I'm getting almost as many stories about them as I am the little ones. I find this interesting given the terror that my brother was at that age. I figured it permanently put her off that age.
