darn it, I meant "mentally and physically". Gosh, my mind is working well right now and I'm not even overheated. Scarey. lol
AGGGHH!! I meant my mind is NOT working well right now. Oh heck, give it up Chena. ROFL
Kind words, thank you. I hope that everyone, especially Tamar gets it. I think I was unnesccesirily harsh last night when I didn't mean to be. Her comments about my entire church being disrespectful weren't meant to be mean I don't think. I just don't think she understood why we don't dress up.
I even got to thinking that even the Catholics with all of their high ritual, have run missions similar to our church throughout a lot of history.
Sometimes it's very difficult to not react harshly when being personally insulted. I've been there done that. We ask forgiveness and then move on.
Implying that someone's church is not worthy of God's love, or that their parishoners are not respecting God because of their dress code....well, any person who loves God, and loves their church, would have had their hackles up. And yes, I believe you're correct about Catholic missions. Many denominations have similar missions. What better way to do God's work.
I love jeans. I also love a woman in nice snug jeans and a nice top.
My goodness! It sounds like sleep did a world of good for all of us! Apologies are everywhere! This is a much happier place to be today! ;-)
They were WONDERFUL parents/people;unlike you,dear. :-)
How odd to be bothered by jeans. One of the great things about living in the West is that jeans are acceptable almost anywhere. We dress casually out here. You rarely see people with that pinched wish-I-could-rip-off-these-clothes grimace on their face. It's about comfort, not impressing people with clothes. Men are even beginning to get rid of their ties in favor of bolos. Now there's a great look on a man in this woman's opinion -- jeans and a bolo!
Let the barbarians wear inappropriate clothes,behave like clods,talk filth,and accept anything and everything,but,BUT,those here,who imagine that they are Conservatives and "care" about the degradation of our culture and civilization,yet accept this,had best shut up. They are the ones who are the enablers of the very things they claim to NOT want.
As for me and mine,we'll continue to so the RIGHT thing.
That is NOT why men began to wear neckties. And tied correctly,a necktie adds some color and personality to a man.
It doesn't matter which day you devote to publicly worship GOD;it's that you DO worship HIM and show HIM and yourself respect,by wearing something other than play/work clothes.
Hi, nopardons :) It's a lovely day here and I hope yours is lovely as well. I felt bad last night that you were so upset. I wanted to lighten things up with a bit of humor last night, but after your last post I realized you weren't in the mood for any humor. I don't mind, of course, I just felt bad for you and hope you'll forgive me if I said anything to offend you.
When I was in high school girls wore blouses/sweaters and skirts/jumpers or dresses.
In neither era,were dungarees allowed to be worn in ANY school...from grammar through college and girls were NOT allowed to wear pants.
My daughter NEVER was allowed to wear jeans to school. She went to schools that had dress codes.
The worse one is dressed,the worse one behaves. The more formally one is dressed,the more formally one behaves.
And yes, back in the '50s,the worst problems most schools (though there were exceptions,where kids did carry knives and guns to school!)faced with students,was gum chewing and talking in class.
You aren't "funny",you've added nothing of value to this thread,but yes, some people,like YOU, appear to thoroughly enjoy being irritated and irritating.
BRAVO!
I'm happy for you,that you are having a lovely day. It is bitter cold here and we're supposed to get more snow. So,though I had a lovely day with my husband,the weather is not making me "happy".
No, people don't wear jeans to funerals in Texas.
They are a BIG don't!
I would agree with that 100%.
I accept yours as well. :) Sorry to hear about the cold and snow though. We have snow in the forecast for later this weekend, but hopefully it won't amount to much. Supposed to drop to -5 again at night, but at least the day temps should stay in the 30's.
