Thank you! I knew there was something but I could not remember exactly what. I phrased it differently when I googled it, and didn't get the right information.
ETA: I'll happily take all the blessings I can get.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I so miss Amon laying on the bed with his paw pad pressing against my fingertips and us just looking at each other.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Also, as I was reminded today, at some point in the past 20 years, they changed the response to "The Lord be with you" is now "And with your spirit," instead of "And also with you." FYI.
I think it was fairly recent, since I remember hearing about it and being horrified. Not that I go to mass any more. But some things are tradition! At least since Vatican II!

The ones labelled "patio dress" look like house dresses to me, maybe with slightly more embellishment. That kind of makes sense to me.
I think that's "Peace be with you", Jesse, but that's a really old memory I'm accessing and trying to reverse engineer (I know I have the automatic "and also with you" response that is now defunct, but I'm not entirely certain what it is to, because those weren't my lines)

sara, I keep meaning to confirm, but are you coming for thanksgiving? If not, we're going out of town, perhaps.

Your call. If you'd like to go out of town, I can make other arrangements. I think I have enough brain back to make plans either way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's definitely when the priest says "The Lord be with you" -- possibly there's something specific you're supposed to say when passing the peace, but that's more ad hoc, IME.

Yeah, I think it was, too, but I know the last time I went to Mass with any regularity was 20 years ago, so.

I don't even remember hearing that line, but, probably more like 30 years for me, so I'll defer.

I am pretty sure it changed between Christmas 2011 and Christmas 2012.

Heh. I could play the ignorant Protestant card and just go with "Thanks, you too!" and a big cheesy grin.
