Happy St. Barbara's Day to all Cannon Cockers and Duck Hunters out there.

My name is Barbara and I had heard of St. Barnara. THANKS for the whole story! I will send it to my husband, so that he will know he needs to treat me like a saint (LOL) and to all my friends named Barbara!

Does anyone know the patron saint of dealing with bad in-laws and lesbian sisters?
I'm not kidding.
Maybe I'll pray for some lightening from St. Barbara.

She's also the patron saint of miners in the Ukraine.

Take it from another Barbara: St. Barbara is also the patron saint of firemen; those who put out oil well fires; and, in the old days, those stevedores and the like who worked/maintained fire driven engines e.g. boilers, steam ships, etc. Hummm....I guess today it could also protect those who work with nuclear power

When I opened this post and started reading, I thought it was going to be a spinoff on Barbra Streisand losing her lawsuit. As I read, I kept wondering where's the punchline. When I finished, I'm awed. Thanks for the post. I learned something new today.

I believe this Saint has what can console you.

I'll have to make sure to do a toast in the direction of Blockhouse Signal Mountain tonight.

Would praying to St. Barbara tighten up my target groups?

My brother is a Captain of Artillery in Iraq.
I may just have to forward him this thread.
