Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Please, Ti-don’t ruin our day-and Nancy hasn’t been able to move her facial muscles that much since she started injecting industrial strength botox into her face...
well you tell your hub that you are expecting the tooth fairy to bring you something GOOOOOD for that big tooth! ; )
Thank you!
I think I’d have said something about sticking to the meaning of Easter instead of pandering, and left.
Go Cuse
I ate so much yesterday I didn’t even get to the stuffed cabbage. Poor planning on my part.
“little black box”-I’ve heard from a reliable source that the tooth fairy has limited rebates to $5.00 per occurance due to layoffs and lack of funds because of new insurance requirements...
LOL I will settle for an implant. They are pretty costly.
I think they’d be better off punting it to the states, where it really belongs. Marriage is a sacrament, not a “right” to be dictated by the fed. I would not be unhappy at all to see the sacrament of marriage being performed in churches, temples, etc by clergy-a civil contract is a separate thing. Same gender couples can’t be married anyway, no matter what they call it.
Hey! I thought that was real!
In the original foot-washing ceremony, didn’t Jesus also wash Judas’s feet? I suppose if Jesus washed even the feet of Judas in giving His divine example of our service to others, I would be hesitant to judge too harshly based on whose feet get washed.
LOL!
I am so sorry for you.
My dentist said popcorn is the number one problem for cracking teeth..... I used to like popcorn but now I’m very leary of eating it.....
Its not an ordination. Its a demonstration of service. I think it sends a good tone.
Those obsessed with liturgical purity need to understand that the pope can alter the liturgy. He does have that authority. And apparently this old tradition of foot washing at the Holy Thursday mass is less than 100 years old. It started as an “innovation” of another pope.
In sum, much bigger things to worry about than trying to be more liturgically correct than the pope.
And “dont be fatuous, Jeffrey.”
That was the exact same point the spouse made after the brouhaha erupted.
So, S&M, eh?
