'Serenity'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Dress!
I bought this redic creature (at half off of this price) for my upcoming birthday. Just feelin' my 80s I guess.
What do we think of spagetti straps?
If I get them put on, I can wear one of those clear-strap bras and have a much more comfy night (and shoulder the next day). If they would look irredeemabley stoopid, however, I am willing to suffer.
I'll leave details to actual practicing Catholics, but I thought confession was a private thing now that didn't require telling your list of sins to a priest. I was also under the impression that there were exceptions for the mass attendance for sick, elderly, grieving, whatever. But this all could just be my perception. My mother is devout, but I lapsed long ago. And am surely guilty of a number of mortal sins.
Cereal:
I suppose I do have to thank the freak-ass church for at least getting me to read/study the bible. Because, man, all the Catholic stuff that just appalls me? Nowhere in there. Jesus was basically all, "Love your neighbor. Don't fuck shit up. Any questions?"
Not a single thing on going to mass every Sunday, much less on telling detailed accounts of every time you whack off to some celibate dude. (Man, that is unsavory.)

From what I read last night, confession is still a tell-all-your-lurid-secrets dealio.

Right, and I should have said that. If you're very ill, or the weather would make it dangerous for you to attempt to go, or if you're an hour or more away from a church, or -- my favorite -- if you're a mother who has given birth within the previous 6 weeks, then it is not a sin to skip mass.
(However, if you gave birth 7 weeks ago and don't make it, YOU WILL BURN.)

This trumps silly. Wearing a strapless bra all evening is something I shudder to contemplate.
Man, my Grandma blew off a LOT of church having those eight kids.
Now I'm picturing Trudy's grandma having kid after kid just to get out of going to confession.

huh. We have a "tradition" in the family that the baby shouldn't leave the house for six weeks. I wonder if that's where it came from.

It does make one wonder...
Actually, half of them are born in June which always makes me wonder if my Grandparents were having nooners as soon as the kids went back to school.
