That was the only part of vaguely-affiliated Catholicism that I was good at, honestly.
The "and also with you" part is being replaced with "and with your spirit."
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

"and with your spirit."
I thought that change was from a year or more ago? It does, however, seem to be more appropriate for Halloween. Signed, Heretic.
I have so much to do, work is really getting in the way.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies, aurelia!!

Happy Birthday,Aurelia!
I have to brag on Leif a little, we went to his parent-teacher conference and both his regular teacher and the gifted program teacher just had nothing but great things to say about him. His score on the Missouri standardized tests was 820 out of a possible 820. I'm proud of the little guy.
Em's doing well too and made straight A's for the semester but I think it's a little hard for her to have her little brother not just making straight A's but skipping a grade, being in the gifted program, scoring higher in assessments and all that stuff. I think she feels sort of like Simon to Lief's River.
Also, a little job~ma may be in order. Layoffs are coming. I don't know that they'll affect me or even my location, but after last spring I'm really stressed about it.

Jen (who has the sense of humor of a 15 y.o. boy) and Emmett bonded the whole night over innuendo concerning who's sack (of pirate booty) was weightier. There was snickering galore.
I miss Jen! Tell her to come to New Orleans soon, mmmkay?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That's great news about the kids, Gud!
I have so much to do, work is really getting in the way.
That makes too much sense.
I am taking today off, and also Monday. Today, I slept in until nine--which is about four hours later than I usually sleep. It feels damned good to be puttinga dent in this fatigue.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Caught up.
Maria, glad you have us to vent.
I've never even been Catholic and I like the "Peace be with you/And always with you." But then I kind of prefer King James language, and we all stumble in my house over the Haggadah that has more inclusive language.
Kat, those lessons sound awesome. You are awesome.
Congrats to Gud's smartypants kiddoes!
I love the stories of relationships, and the stories of being happily single, and the stories of those who share my frustration about not having found someone.
