Jesse: no clue. Maybe 'Angular' is an idiom for upright or freestanding or something? So far as I can find, it pretty much means angular in Spanish.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jesse, I think a piedra angular is a cornerstone.

OK, that makes good sense!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Huh. That still doesn't have any Christian resonance for me.

Jesse, fwiw, I got 183,000 hits when I googled "cornerstone church" -- at a guess it shows up far more often in Charismatic parlance.

Interesante. The church by me is definitely charismatic, so I guess I'm just ignorant! Learn something every day.

Googling just "cornerstone" gives a Christian college, homeschooling materials, a group of affiliated Christian schools (w/ each other, the college, the homeschools, or all three I don't know), a contemporary Christian music festival, and a Christian cable TV channel all on the front page of results -- looks like it's something of a brand name (officially or not) in the Evangelical world.

I don't know how people deal with this when the other person is dangerous.
The couple of stalkers I've had have been of the undangerous variety, and not terribly persistent once I made clear in ruthlessly blunt terms that I wanted nothing more to do with them. But I am aware that my place of business is deep, deep in the woods, on land owned by my relatives, where no one will ever be digging without their permission...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. That still doesn't have any Christian resonance for me.
We were always taught that Jesus was the conrerstone of the Church, so we occasionally had sermons about cornerstones. Don't know if that's actually a Thing in the Lutheran church, or just a sermonic metaphor.

I'm going to have to have a serious talk with my father about this lapse.
