Wow, that is nasty, msbelle.

Man, dreams like that can really affect your whole day.

Do you still have your brother's HBO password? Because I watched Deadpool last night, and then had some really cool dreams.

Do not have HBO password and have too much on my TiVo. I am sure it is a combo of over tired, Mac annoyance, and joint pain.

That makes sense.

And possibly also political climate, because everyone just went along with letting these people take us and do horrible things if they got our item.

Confirmed last night with my mother that my father plans to vote Trump. Grr. I was hoping he'd hate Trump and go independent or at least not vote? But my mom was exasperated too. Sigh.

I love Kate McKinnon. I just take the opportunity to say that whenever and wherever I can.

As is right and proper. I hadn't heard of her before Ghostbusters, but I came out of the movie wondering where she'd been all my life.

I would agree, Gud, and without namecalling(Although I do have some nifty Milchy ones in the chamber, as it were) that what happened to Em is likely not just her problem, right? That the family has an issue and needs help to sort through it.(Although I really believe everyone has something to talk about in counseling, because life is hard, and we don't always learn how to think things through constructively)

So, reporting back on the baptism. The church service pinged all the reasons I have a problem with organized religion. My deal and I did my best to just bow my head and stay as neutral as possible. This is the church Kelly's ex-I-don't-even-know-not-quite-boyfriend-but-not-quite-not introduced her to. Her current bf goes to a community church that he says is much more chill. At the end of the service the pastor announced there were two people who were going to be baptised and everyone was invited to come witness.

We went to a local hotel that had an indoor pool and while Kelly was changing clothes, the bf and I discovered who the other person being baptised was...the ex. Bf and I had to take a walk around the parking lot to get out our frustration at him being there and his stopping at nothing to be manipulative. Sure, it could be pure coincidence, but knowing him...not so much.

A large percentage of the congregation came and the actual baptism itself went great. Kelly got to have her time with the pastor without the ex, which made me happy. After it all CJ, Kelly, the bf, and I all went out to a nice lunch...nummy oysters and mussels and such. She seemed happy with her card and lunch. The two gifts she received were basically identical fancy journals. All in all, lots of awkwardness for me, but I think I hid most of it from her.
