The waiting is the hardest part
The waiting is the hardest part

Just heard that the 20/20 story has been postponed. This may not be news to you all, but I’ve been away from the Internets for a bit. Anyway, I’ll let you know when it will run as soon as I know.

Catholic weddingsā€¦ick. I was in one at like 10, at most. Bored fucking senseless.

As for that priest, yeah, he sucks. Wtf would the church even want the flowers for anyways? That makes no sense at all.

And sorry for your loss, asshole priest is like insult to injury there.

Here is a video of the Furrinati hierarchy in action if anyone needs a smile.

cloudiah, I’m so sorry for your rotten year and that shithead priest. I wish I could have intertubed Father Bob (a very “what priests are supposed to be like” guy but alas retired) over to have done the service instead.

On typhoidblue: “I think what sheā€™s trying to say is men need eye contact to feel attraction to a woman, which means sheā€™s a subject and feels mutual attraction, therefore, objectification doesnā€™t exist.”

Apparently no blind man has ever had a relationship in the history of the world.

In revenge, we threw confetti all over the church afterward. (He had told us not to, in his ā€œhere are the rulesā€ lecture before everything started.)

Pretty sure the priest wasn’t the one who had to clean that up. But I imagine it was pretty satisfying at the time, and I can’t say I wouldn’t have done the same.

Wtf would the church even want the flowers for anyways?

For the Sunday service? IDK if Catholic churches have church members donate flowers like Protestant churches do. Or maybe he was a power-tripping asshole.

But funeral flower arrangements look like funeral flower arrangements. Either you’d have to get someone to pull out all those little mums and stuff and make new arrangements out of them, or you’d have a big cross-shaped arrangement up front during church and it would look like a funeral.

Ah. I’ve never been to a Catholic funeral, or any really “traditional” funeral, so I had no idea the flowers were different.

The worst part is that her mother had a pretty close relationship with the priest who did the regular mass, because she was there all the time. For some reason, he wasn’t allowed to do a funeral mass, so they got the asshole priest, who couldn’t even pronounce their last name correctly.

But my friend and her family were surrounded by people who love them, so I don’t want to overstate the influence of the asshole priest.

The cutest part is that her mother was a regular volunteer at a hospital, and pretty much all the other volunteers came to the service so there were two rows of women wearing pink hospital coats among a sea of people wearing dark colors.

I’m so, so sorry Cloudiah.

My brother’s father-in-law is a catholic priest who defected from his Church when women were ordained.

Yeah, feminist spending time with a priest who thought women were inferior, not a good mix!

He also vocally disapproved of us when Mr M and I were living together and not married.

I thought that was a bit rich coming from a catholic priest who was married with five daughters!

Hey @Kitteh, hope the misters okay. šŸ™‚

And just wanted to say @neuroticbeagle, your videos and pictures always brighten my day.

Nighty, night everyone.

Night, all — I’m going to bed too. Thanks for all the hugs! You all are the best.

Just read through, hugs for Cloudiah if you still need some. Asshole priest should be covered in bile and left near a skunk den.

How did Iā€¦?

“It’ sitter oh” should be crossed out, as part of my continued quest to show you what autocorrect is doing to me. The rest should just be words. I guess I opened an italics and then closed a delete?

Can you turn autocorrect off? It’s out to get you!
