I love you, Meara.

OK, so no more putting a dollar in the SA bellringers cup. But we can still buy the poor sucker a cup of hot coffee or hot choc.

Also: don't know who all the horseman of the snowpocalypse are. But one them is Stircrazy.

with the EVIDENCE of her TAWDRY behavior??

Mmmmmmmm, tawdry behavior. Oh, you meant visiting other boards. That's a whole different flavor of tawdry.

Huh, I'm fairly certain that my Jewish friends weren't offended at my Chanukah wishes and I was quite delighted with their Merry Christmas greeting despite their failure to rejoice in His birth and all. It really is kinda sad when people work so hard at staying in a state of being offended.

java, as a Christian I feel compelled to apologize for that idiot and assure you that in my opinion her hat is full of ass.

Also, I really really want to go over there and ask her if she sincerely believes that Christmas is a more central Christian holiday than Easter. Because...no. Just no. It's a big one, but if she really thinks it's of greater theological significance than Easter, her hat is even assier.

Also also,

I am just boggled at the concept of someone being offended by someone else wishing them joy on any day, for whatever the reason. You seriously have to go out of your way to be offended by an earnest sentiment for your happiness, you know?

This is such a world of right, on a bed of wise with truthful sauce poured all over it (and chocolate sprinkles).

eta: I had to hover over that last word for almost a full two minutes before my sugar-and-caffeine-addled brain could feel quite certain it wasn't supposed to be kprinkles.

Braved the outlet mall which wasn't too bad, all things considered. Got a couple of shirts, a new pair of Lucky jeans (I'm afraid my One True Jean may be discontinued-- *sob*) and a wicked sexy pair of Miu Miu sandals on ridiculous discount.

Not a bad haul and I got to kill time with Mom. Only had to roll my eyes a few times as she took something like three phone calls from my father.

It seems odd to me that people go around looking to be offended. It happens enough with out looking to be offended.

My guess is that woman is just offended by atheists in general.

meara's funneee.

java, I'm tempted to register and go pile on the moron over there, but I'll control the urge. Feh on her and her mean spirited idiocy.

There's been a major cock-up on our babysitting leaving us with no sitter for tonight. I've run down my emergency list and have not takers. We might be screwed.

I'm happy my mere existence is making her uncomfortable.

Cash, just leave your kids by the computer, and tell them to post messages and hit "Read New" every once and a while. We'll watch them for you.
