May we assume the future Mrs. OP is an OP also?

And please assure us she will not covet too much of your Freeper time. We had you first.

I have FReeper time?

Sadly (very sadly), I haven't noticed having very much of late.... the result of working part-time jobs *and* building up my fledgling brokerage business at the same time.

(sigh)

Oh, well. I expect to have more "FReep time" available on the weekends. Hopefully, I'll see y'all around this Friday...

Best, OP

No... but she's already agreed to be (actually, she suggested as much, before I even raised the subject)...

Our discussion went something like this...

• Her: "Since you're going to be the Man of our house, we should attend your church..."
• Me: "Sweetheart, you play Bass Guitar for the worship service at your Church for their Monday Night service (she's the bass guitarist for one of these non-denominational mega-churches with multiple services per week). The Orthodox Presbyterian Church only conducts its primary Worship service on Sunday Mornings. There's no conflict here, babe... We can do both!!"

Granted -- she is aware that her black leathers, tattoos, and piercings aren't really "Orthodox Presbyterian style"... and there aren't a whole lot of openings for Bass Guitarists in the OP musical worship sections (Heck, some ultra-regulativist OP-ers don't even like to use Hymnbooks, preferring instead an Exclusive Psalmody).

But that's okay. Most Orthodox Presbyterians don't really like my old-school Metallica and Sisters of Mercy CD's either, but they still put up with me nonetheless. Between the two of us, we'll work it out -- social conventions be damned (grin).

Best, OP
