  1. What a wonderful idea. Except my naps are short power naps.

    I have a massive headache.
    The church choir contributed vastly.

    No I have now got 3 of his bills. The one 2 weeks ago and 2 yesterday. They are only about 30 each but penalties and past due. It's now over 100. Someone fucked up. I'm just glad it isn't me this time.

    Church I grew up in had easily the worst choir I've ever heard, even to this day. I feel your pain.

    In the one I attended as a kid there was a lot of singing but no choir. I wish there was a choir..
     
  7. I wish there was a choir and they chanted peacefully and lightly, and hummed in Latin, in an angelic way.
    Instead of overdoing it.

    Catholic church in the north eastern us? Really bad choir and the rest of the congregation just kinda stands there looking bored. I'm impressed people participated where you went.

    Well when there is no choir at all and the custom is that the crowd itself is supposed to bring it themselves its not that impressive. Some of the worst were also the loudest... every g****amn week.
    And no, it was a dutch protestant church. So no good seats either! :p

    I remember those days from my teen years. When I got home I'd go to my room and wash out my ears with The Rolling Stones.

    My church choir experience was pretty similar. Lots of very old women singing out of key and slightly of of harmony.

    Thiisssss is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glaaaaaaad.

    Imagine that, except all out of tune.

    Church is kind of like karaoke: everyone's invited to come sing, whether they're able to or not.

    It's like karaoke without the alcohol and good music.

    @Noserider Are you in LA? I see they are having power outages on top of the record high temperatures...a bad combo.

    I'm actually not home this weekend, but my area wasn't effected. I'm just praying I don't go home to refrigerator full of spoiled food.

    Walk down the next street over...of course it is almost the last house down. I get to a house and see the house on the water bill is either the next one or the 2 after (staggered numbers so it's hard to tell) a car is pulling out and driving away from me so I wave him down. He stops so I run to the car. I tell him the situation he reads the bill and seems confused. Then (the wife) says hi. I don't want to be rude so say hi but woman.. we are trying to figure out this bill thing. He reads the name and says well we are the carries. I point to the street address and he says that's us. His wife says no we are 445. I look up at their house and the house next door and see she is correct. He gives me the bills back and says good luck. I knock on the front door of the correct house. Ring the bell. .nothing but 2 cats at the bottom of the glass door. I talk to them for a minute then check the back (it's common for people to use the service roads and only use back doors around here.) There are 2 cars back there and it looks like their main entrance. Knock on the door and nothing. So I put one bill in the front screen door and one bill on the (don't open the door and let the cat out) sign in the back. Marine and USA flag flying in the front so I am just assuming an old man but I know he could be young...or a she I just hope when he gets it he realizes the po box.

    I dislike karaoke at least as much. Partly because i don't find most songs good at all, but also because they're consistently being raped. Seems to be part of the fun.. but I don't get it. Horrible pastime. I'd rather linedance (and not because that appeals to me)!

    My mom bought a karaoke machine at Costco one Christmas a few years ago when the family was all together. It was a podium with an lcd screen and a microphone.

    It was used once, and put in storage ever since.

    It seems like you either love karaoke or you hate karaoke.
     
  19. Someone decided it would be a fun idea to make a whatsapp group with all the people that will be on my team.



    It's not very fun.

    Acknowledging the sacrifice of the animal & honoring it's spirit is not the same as sayin' it freely gives it's life. However nature is nature & to attempt to place such human qualms into nature shows a complete lack of understanding what nature is. Life is one great wheel. All things pass upon that wheel in their fashion & at some point they give of themselves so that something else may live. I may eat a goat today but in 50 or 60 years a goat may be eating me. That is life. Trying to pretend like it's not is unhealthy & unnatural.
