My faith isn't in a deity and attendant supernatural entourage but more in a sense that the cosmos has an awareness of some sort, though I have no means of defining it. When I die, I'll need to present myself to the cosmos and all eternity, and so far I don't feel like I'm going to be ashamed of what I have to show for what I did with my existence.
It's sort of like the Total Perspective Vortex in Hitchhikers. I'm OK with being a tiny little spot in the immensity of eternity because even a tiny little speck is part of the greater whole. And at the same time I am the center of the universe, because if the universe is infinite then it does extend outward from my perceptions. Everyone is the center of the universe as they see it.

all the students bringing in the germs from everywhere, so everybody catches something from somebody.
Oh great. Something to look forward to next week. This wasn't in the brochure.
ION- wife of crazy uncle responded to my note about the USDA and FDA getting budgets cut by the previous administration, and that taxes are needed to pay for it, and the current party she supports is against it, said:
I fully support the teaparty! AND safe food! So why isn't Obama using "stimulus" money to fund safe food for Americans ????
My eyes are hurting from @@ really hard, and for prolonged time.
As for the elevator. They have 'solved' the problem by putting up signs with rather bad grammar (which, coming from me, means it's REALLY bad) letting us know it's broken until Monday.
I just spoke with my mom's longtime attorney who, after he laughed hysterically, said, "I don't give a FUCK who she says she is, I'm gonna wipe the floor with her ass."
After you've won the case, maybe you should ask your lawyer to send her a cease & desist letter.

If it were my brother, it would mean that the party's at his place and everyone's invited!
We have a list of JPs that can perform our wedding ceremony with e-mail addresses. I have googled all of them to get a sense of what they are like, but I have no idea what to say in an e-mail other than to ask if they are available on our chosen date.

Totally cool, but still a faith that there will be a you after death, and someone bigger than you to discuss what you did with your life with. Just saying that some people do just fine without it. That having that faith and losing it does not have to be seen as a tragedy. And I'm also fine with someone losing one faith and replacing it with another. Just that I hope that is not seen as the only choice, even the only non-tragic choice.

That's what I believe, too.

Maybe give them an idea of what you're expecting?
Zen, how did it go in Tennessee?
I don't think you have to say much in the initial e-mail, sj. You and TCG are planning to get married, where and when, are they available and how do you proceed with ironing out the details if they are. If you'll have witnesses with you or if you'll need someone. Once they answer, you'll have a better idea of how to proceed, I'm sure.
