A snap shot of *snort*

When you run into the Priest in the grocery store and he's not dressed up as the Priest, are you required to make "nice" conversation with him? He's there doing what I'm doing - stocking up on junk food because we're getting a snow storm. So is he required to be priestly? And am I required to be polite

F**king amazing. Sorry no clue on the triple P situation.

I almost debated saying something about 'how the f**k ya doing Father?" in front of the women, but opted not to.
The look on Father J's face? So totally priceless, IMO.
At least it made an awkward situation so much more awkward!

LOL at the whole picture.

I'm not Catholic, either, but have to acknowledge ministers in any denomination with at least a little respect....cause it takes balls to try to lead people spiritually. IMHO, you answered your own question: he's a human being your happen to know at the grocery store- I'd say 'hi' unless the weather was turning so fast that time was really of the f**king essence. : D

Thanks for the funny slice of life.

I smiled.
He does a lot at our school.
I do a lot at our school.
Our paths cross a lot because of it.
I'm sure he wonders with such an irish name why my kids aren't part of the church..
But he's been kind enough not to ask - not that it would be that big a deal to me to tell him I'm not Catholic.

But it really was f**king funny that these two very classy ladies made the do talk/don't talk decision so much easier for me.

Really kinda glad the f**king a**holes at the f**king state haven't given this lovely lady back her f**king kids!!

I'm Catholic, but since I only go to church for weddings, baptisms, First Communions, etc, I probably wouldn't even recognize a priest at the grocery store.

When I was a pediatrician in a small town, the kids were always surprised to see me at the grocery store or the mall. I think that they thought that I lived at the clinic. : )

See- that's what I was figuring. When I'm not working, it kind of shocks me when someone sees me and wants to talk about work. The Father wasn't dressed as the Father. He was wearing jeans and a flannel shirt (hee- Father Redneck!)
But given the whole f**king conversation between these two very classy ladies just made it so much easier to smile and walk away FAST!

*Whut???* You didn't?

Like the teacher live at school and *fer sure* priests live in the church? 'Course with rectories/parsonages, there's 'grounds' [pun intended] for that assumption! *grin*

I went to a Catholic grade school and the convent where the nuns who taught there lived was just across a driveway from the school. In all the years that I was there, I don't think I ever went inside the convent. It was just a mystery to us kids. : )

f**ing A ! Gee, can't understand why the f**k that f**king women isn't getting her f**king kids back? WTF , ya know?

[smc36]

Those poor f**king kids - they f**king must miss their f**king mother so f**king much that I bet they f**king cry themselves to sleep every f**king night!
Poor, poor f**king kids!

Not for nothing but if you happen to f**king lose f**king custody of your f**king kids, are you really so f**king stupid that you discuss it f**king loud in the middle of the f**king grocery store that you f**king work in?

Well, it made me feel like a better f**king mother!!

:>)

[oc_gambit2]

LOL because nobody has pulled out a f**king Dawn icon yet....

[silverweave]

I think you're required to be nice because you're nice too!

Embrace your fluffy kitten, sweetface, I know you can do it!

[smc36]

Well, I still have custody of my f**king kids (despite the freaking snow storm that has them trapped in the house with me!) But at least that makes me one up on the poor f**king woman who doesn't have her f**king kids so I think I can be nicer than at least ONE person in Bumbleweeds.
