Prepare him for them doing a hard sell, Suzi. One of the new things they're doing is try to get an investigator to commit to being baptized on the first meeting--yes, the idea is ridiculous, but they're desperate for baptisms. These kids are not more older than CJ, so he may feel some sort of connection with them. Just the fact that they got in the door is a rarity these days, so they won't let go easily.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

They are trying down to nail down a date to return. But I think they settled for leaving a phone number. Oh, and now they are asking for his number.

If they get his number, they'll invite him to activities and church and to see if they can drop by.

They are gone now. Just left their number - didn't get CJ's. And now that they are gone, I'm looking at my son - an ARP t-shirt (ok) and his gingerbread person "Bite Me" PJ pants.
K-Bug had wandered through a few times and had considered making coffee with her back tat hanging out. Instead she offered water, told them she was skeptical, and moved on.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Gotta start cleaning the house in preparation for my parents' visit this weekend. Don't wanna, but I gotta.

Suzi, that just reminds me of a scene from Black Books: [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I was just thinking about that scene!

My maternal grandpa used to invite missionaries in to get my grandmother to debate with them. It drove her nuts, but farm manners dictated hospitality and she couldn't pass up an argument( she wasn't super religious, but she knew her bible like whoa.) Grandpa just liked to see her being brainy.
I GOT TO SWIM!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Items from work I can't vent about on fb.
- Speaker phone in an open working area where other people are on the phone is RUDE. Also, INSIDE VOICE. I swear less than half the people I work with know what that is.
- Refusing my requested vacation days is starting to piss me off. I do not care why you are doing it (he thinks it is saving me from having to use them), I do not want to have to RUSH on the days I need to cover the kid or get the kid registered for school. Rushing is not my friend.
- And about those vacation requests, don't ask me why I need to take off. I wrote "appt" - that is all you need to know. I only get 10 days off a year and I work every 4th weekend. Damn, give me off when I ask off unless another office worker is already off.
I need to apply for jobs and WAS TOO FRUSTRATED TO FOCUS tonight. beer.
