Anti's

[bosun1]

im glad to see so many of the brother share my opinions....tho i am both a cigarette and pipe smoker but am cutting back steadily away from the cancer sticks.

Just going to say E-cigs. Coming up on three months without a coffin nail. Feel better health-wise, and my sense of self-esteem has gone up too!!! Relatively painless quitting for me. I was surprised!

Not clergy, but I do think the Bible has some great teaching on how to treat people with love, kindness and respect...even if they do get under your skin

Would that be the part where God killed a whole town because they didn't live how he told them to live?
Or maybe it was the part where God sent bears to kill the children for teasing the prophet for being bald?
Or maybe it was where he struck the king insane for not listening to him?
Oh I know we mean new testament unangry god.. so we must mean where he murders his son for someone else's crime?
Or maybe where the Holy Spirit kills two people for not giving him every last dime?

Love, Kindness, and Respect indeed.

I don't care if your in my house or God's house. You don't spout off to either one of us unless you willing to suffer the consequences.

There are anti's everywhere I guess.

I think I will have a bowl of Dark Plug and read Evening Prayer. Supper is on - corn chowder and fry bread. Life is good here.

Quite the contrary.. I just think sometimes the story gets a little convoluted.

For example, before marrying my wife, I thought good conversation was everyone talking...a LOT! In my family, everyone just spewed out information in interrupting overlapping conversations, without a single thought as to what the other person was actually thinking. It was showing up and throwing up...no questions ever asked.

You could be a member of my wife's family!

Ever watch Honey Boo Boo? In lotsa families, there are members who are just socially awkward or who believe that family members have no boundaries -- It's okay to blurt out whatever comes into your head.

So what to do? If you reply "on the merits," as lawyers say, you'll simply be arguing with someone who is out of his/her depth. If you roll over, you can expect similar treatment in the future.

So I suggest the middle way -- As you listen to the person,  put on the expression you might use if there was a booger hanging from his/her nose. When they pause for breath, reply mildly but firmly.  Something like, "You know, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, but adults choose an appropriate time and place and show some respect." Then just turn away.

Otherwise, holidays will be painful.

I can't praise/pimp them too hard! Worked for me is all that matters to me!
