'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The assistant is in today!
She was all "Oh, I got your emails." And I was all "Oh, can we do this some other way?" And also, I was, like 12.
But still, maybe something will be smoothed out, and I should have pain meds by the end of the day. Just have to get through the bulk of this one.
Without killing my new computer.
Kristen, I learned about it in history class.
I didn't realize that Catholics really thought that it was body and blood until I watched Tales of the City.
A question from someone who has only gone to Catholic schools...do they not teach this sort of stuff in history class?
I was wondering the same thing. As a Jewish atheist, I have no religious reason to know who he is, but the Reformation was a big part of European history class.

Not that I remember, but who knows.

Heh. Ew.
I got a quick gloss in high school history class, but much more in-depth doing reading on my own.
I don't remember ever not knowing about transubstantiation. Not that I ever understood it, then or now, but the not understanding was always part of it for me. It's a capital-M Mystery. Knowing the bare facts of the doctrine, though--that was always there.
I can't remember if I ever had a European history class, much less what was taught in it.
I was the world's worst history (and general humanities student), and I managed to have to learn about Martin Luther (until then, I thought they meant Martin Luther King Jr--only one guy came up in discussion at home) and transubstantiation somehow.
Still don't know crap about American history, though. Or, really, anything that happened post 1850.
man, ita, I want to call her up on your behalf.
her: "oh, I got your emails."
me: "interesting. since nothing had been done, I assumed you had not. Perhaps your business email is used for another purpose. What is the method of communication with this office that I should use if I actually want to get a response that will result in my having my medication? Perhaps there is an office manager? or a direct way line to the dr.? I certainly do not want to waste any more of your time if you are not the person who can get this done."
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I learned Martin Luther in my high school world history class (which was really eurociv, but was a great class). We went up to the assassination of Frans Ferdinand and then stopped.
