But no room for anything else.
My garage wouldn’t be big enough for my van even if we put everything else in the yard.
Easy.
Use chocolate eggs..
Mine are always 20 per page, even though I think I've got it set for 100 or whatever the max is. *May* have something to do with my level of activity, it makes the server start giving off smoke.
Too easy. On the other hand, one can always eat a chocolate egg, if it’s a small egg. A large chocolate egg takes pre-planning.
I just sent an email to my parish’s building committee bigshots, explaining why we think putting the choir at the back of our new church - maybe in a loft? - is a super bad idea. To be fair, it’s the Bishop’s idea, not our guys’.
DP made me cut the part where I said, “How could choir members silently, but with unmistakable gestures, threaten their small children with death and dismemberment if they don’t sit down Right Now? How could they quietly indicate to the Altar Servers, who happen to be their sons, that they should sit up straight and stop playing with their shoelaces, or they won’t get cake?”
Instead, I waxed poetically about the fact that the “music ministers” are core members of the congregation, sharing the liturgy with their family and friends, rather than hirelings who could be replace by recordings that meet “objective” aesthetic standards.
I could have said (but it didn’t occur to me until just now) that they can build it, but we won’t come. If they build a choir area somewhere in the back, we’ll still set up in front or slightly off to the side and nail the blues arrangement of the Responsorial Psalm, with finger snaps and hip wiggles ... even if it’s pure acoustic.
Thanks. The max is 250 per page, I found when I checked “My Preferences.” Maybe there was a reset.
Only if you’re logged in. Taking a shower helps sometimes.
LOL!!!
It’s supposed to be a 2-car garage, but neither my van nor my husband’s truck will fit, and bad things happen when teens try to park a car in the garage.
We try to move the vehicles around so the HOA doesn’t know how many we have.
That 250 setting is nice when I’m saving out the links list, glad you mentioned it!
“Sub-space maker installation complete.”
The Moon is supposed to be made of Wensleydale cheese!
OOps wrong thread.
Hmmmm....ill go get some paint....
Heard horror stories about HOA’s ....
Ours is pretty mild as such things go.
Who took off the shrink-wrap?
Thank you TC for your expression of empathy. Sorry to hear about Cub Scout Mom’s encounter with bear. The attraction of the wild? and the wild around our neighborhoods is becoming or morphing into exceedingly dangerous wildness or wilderness. Used to believe that pumas posed no threat to our local but am now not as certain as once was .... May all be wonderful for you and yours and may you and yours be surrounded by God’s protection.
In Las Vegas, one of the local TV stations has an “HOA Hall of Shame” segment designed to embarrass said HOA organizations for their strict, impractical, impossible-to-enforce rules. Nasty things, those. But since Las Vegas is Scam City, its not surprising.
