Cordelia ,'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Giant baby manta ray (not, as I typed, mantra ray.) is so cool.
May you have pretty men and pretty cars on your TV all day.Actually, I do. Formula One was in Indy and I've time shifted the last few hours of LeMans because of that pesky sleep thing. But I keep thinking of you as various awesome drivers show up on tv.
TIRED. All in favor of a nap raise your hand.::raises hand::

Nap. Excellent idea. Then I have to dye my hair, because the grey is becoming way too powerful.

Instead of taking it all on faith, so to speak. Feeling free to speak up and ask if a particular practice makes any sense, like substituting grape juice for what clearly was intended to be wine. Thinking about whether transubstantiation is literal or symbolic (and being respectful of other's opinions about it).
I think that has more to do with an individual church (or sometimes individual pastors) than the denomination. At least that's been my experience being raised a Baptist.

"Intended to be"? Was, no doubt, but all denominations make choices about what's going to be literal and what's symbolic or can be changed to fit the current needs. Like eating shellfish.
I'll admit, wine is a central part of my sense of communion, and I always found the idea of grape juice instead bizarre on a personal "but that's not real communion!" level. But it's not like I'm insisting on the exact kind of bread they were eating, either.
Hil, you're so lucky to have farmer's market on a weekend!
My town has it Thursdays from Noon-6pm - and I always miss it. Particularly when our summer hours start (tomorrow) and I work 'til 5:30.
IO Food news: check out these cupcakes -- want one now.

Man, that sucks! Ours is on Saturday mornings, and I always miss it because the good stuff is gone by 9 while I'm still catching up from a week of sleep dep but at least its, you know, possible. (I gather flea is a regular, but then she has small people to get her up early.)
Yay! My dad loves his Father's Day gift! [link] He started on it early since it was delivered Friday.
Ooh, that's a great idea. I'ma have to make cupcakes soon.
Yikes, I disapear for a few days and all sorts of baby buffistae are born! Congrats to Jessica and family, and Lyra Jane and her family!
I'm sorry to hear of the asshattery in the hospital, Kat. That really needs to stop.
Meanwhile our Father's Day plans have been detoured by a wee fever (Isaac, not his father), so we are taking it slow today.
It's not my birthday, but thanks for the thoughts anyway. I hold on to the m until September.
The problem with waiting for the nice, sunny days to garden is that the sun gives me a headache.
