It's not my long distance friends...much, it's the locals. My life is stressful enough without having fellow parishioners carpet bomb me with emails! Why do people think they can win an argument by leading with, You're really brainwashed, aren't you? You baby killer! And then the COPS....whew! I dread my YES class coming in---but I'm going to be going over the Beatitudes, anyway!
(We had a row last year because a parent complained about one my co-catechists telling a child that her dead puppy was in Heaven. Last week I had a face palm because one of my kids asked if I believed in Adam & Eve. Of course, thinking about it, I almost wish I could get bounced from teaching YES class...)

It's so upsetting when people who are supposed to be your "friends" attack like that. I've experienced it too and it sucks, especially when it's someone you see in RL, so you can't just unfriend them and have that be the end of it.
So the parent was upset because you're not supposed to tell a child her puppy is in heaven because the Catholic church says animals have no souls? Is that right? See, my theory is that whoever actually decided that way back when had never had a beloved pet. Because if he had (notice I said "he", it was always a "he"), he would have known that they absolutely do. My Erin had the sweetest, kindest soul and if she's not in Heaven waiting for me then I don't want to go.
Yeah, Roy Ten Commandments in the courtroom Moore. A coalition of people persuaded the son of the assassinated federal judge Robert Vance, to run against him, and he nearly won. Almost every lawyer I've talked to is horrified...except Mr. KKK. We defense lawyers like to kid and say, Ho Gotta Eat, but defending the Klan over a lynching of a teenager because he was black? Ramen noodle time.
It's cowardly, but I almost went under in 2009, after campaigning for my friend. I can't afford to piss off people---not if I want to be hired. So I can't wear my Obama tee shirt out of the house. Sad but true. Self employment is freedom at great price .
There was much glee around my office on Wednesday, and the gay boy who runs my dog daycare is no longer contemplating escape to Canada with his partner.
I feel you. I can't really say anything on my FB because so many of the people I've chosen to keep in my life - in one form or another - have already gone on and expressed their opinions that the country officially started the downward slide into hell last Tuesday night. Never mind that they may be offendiing any Democrats on their lists. *sigh*
Anyway, we have four years, and God willing we'll elect another one just like that fine man in the White House right now.
Yeah, a few rude liberals make them decide we're all Soviets, when not even the Russians are soviet! I can see other people's pov but that's not a courtesy SOME people extend.

Hey, you're allowed to be happy that your guy won! That's the way it's supposed to be. ;)
