    Today was better than yesterday. With the family yesterday, cousins and other relatives, it was rather boring. We spoke little at dinner, and the 'party' ended quickly.

    Today, it was so much of a rush! The lunch was good, with fried noodles, some snacks and roasted chicken. Then, we played some games, all in fun! :p Well, in short, it was a great day :)

    KISS

    Hheath:

    Now your aware of everything. After experience, things may become second nature and that's when MISTAKES happen. Be careful. Train yourself to "be aware" so your able to operate the equipment when your impaired from a cold or or other factors.



    Suit's getting a workout. Wedding last weekend, funeral this weekend. Same family.

    Hopefully off to the Chinese festival for lunch.

    I know, and I'm usually careful around things that have the potential of causing me serious bodily harm. I like knowing how and why things work, so I usually figure out which parts are dangerous fairly early on.

    Now, if the machine would just stop breaking. It broke 3 times in 2 days while I was using it. My boss had to take it apart and fix it. Apparently, it's not entirely unheard of for that particular machine to go down on a semi-regular basis. It just meant I got to go do something else while it was getting fixed.

    There's a nipple shortage, so there's been a lot of side work and less pressing matters getting taken care of.

    the fact that I can use the word nipple so often now may be one of my favorite parts of the job ^_^

    Well getting ready for my first service since I broke my leg ( not able to stand for longs time) and my first service as a Lutheran pastor ( changed denominations last month)

    A little scared, they use a different service than I used, so even though we get to "read" it so scared I will get going on my old wording. Oh well, most of them most likely would never know the difference.

    I sure the same principle applies.

    Reminds me of a joke.

    Just for you Chuck.

    The new priest was so nervous at his first mass, he could hardly speak. Before his second appearance in the pulpit, he asked the Monsignor how he could relax. The Monsignor said, 'Father, next Sunday it may help if you put some vodka in the water pitcher. After a few sips everything should go smoothly.'

    The next Sunday the new priest put the suggestion into practice and was able to talk up a storm. He felt great! However, upon returning to the rectory he found a note from the Monsignor:

    Dear Father,

    1. Next time sip rather than gulp.
    2. There are 10 Commandments, not 12.
    3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
    4. We do not refer to the Cross as 'The Big T'.
    5. The recommended grace before meals is not 'Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub. Yeah God!'.
    6. We do not refer to our Saviour, Jesus Christ and his Apostles as 'J.C. and the Boys'.
    7. David slew Goliath, he did not 'kick the $hyt out of him'.
    8. Moses parted the water at the Red Sea, he didn't pass water.
    9. We don't refer to Judas as 'El Finko'.
    10. The Pope is consecrated, not castrated, and we don't refer to him as 'The Godfather'.
    11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper he said, 'Take this and eat it, for it is my body', he did not say 'Eat me'.
    12. David was hit by a rock and knocked off his donkey, he wasn't 'stoned off his a$$'.
    13. The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost are never referred to as 'Big Daddy, Junior, and the Spook'.
    14. It is always the Virgin Mary, never 'Mary with the Cherry'.
    15. Last, but not least, next Wednesday there will be a Taffy-Pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a Peter-Pulling contest at St. Taffy's.

    Either that or nicknames for guys in your 'crew' :D

    It is a good name for a band.

    Mary with the Cherry isn't bad either. ;)

    Oops. WT?

    I think that that sermon may have actually made me a fan of church. :)

    Haha Chuck you can be big daddy, Dad you can be Junior and bear unfortunately you get the spook. You guessed it sister Alty can be Mary with the Cherry. I'll be your guyses biggest fan/groupie. We know Alty plays the accordion, Chuck plays the guitar if I remember correctly, bear you get the synthesizer, and Dad, what do you want? I get the finger clappers.

    We do not discuss the accordion! I deny everything! You can't prove it! It's a cool instrument. Shut up, it is too cool! :o :eek:

    I'm Mary with the cherry? Bella, whenever I'm forced (yes forced) to go to church the only prayer I say is that I won't burn to a crisp as soon as I cross the threshold. I don't go near the holy water, I'm sure it would burn.

    To make matters worse, the last time I went, it was for a funeral, in the Catholic church I used to go to when in school. It's huge, and the place was packed. I had a bad cough, and wouldn't you know it, I had a coughing fit right at the moment the priest asked everyone to bow their heads in a moment of silence.

    I couldn't have stopped coughing if someone had put a gun to my head, and I think a few people wanted to.

    I ended up getting up and leaving. I felt so bad. It was a good friends fathers funeral.

    Afterwards, at the coffee and cake session, no one would come near me. My friend however thought it was hilarious. His father would have gotten a kick out of the fact that he got me into a church and that even then I couldn't behave. ;)

    It wasn't my fault. I even took cough medicine before we went. I think God just has it in for me. :(

    Sorry no guitar, that is the wife, I acutally do play keyboard, trumpet, french horn and used to play a tuba. ( but all of the brass was before the asthma got me) But being married to a professional musician, I don't play much myself, sort of self conscience.

    Well I do the "unchurch" bluejeans are dressed up, t-shirts are the norm.

    But then I do a lot of nursing home services also.

    Oh chuck you HAVE to play the tuba. Yesss!! A Tuba AND an accordion, this is just too good.

    There is no accordion! We do not discuss the accordion! The accordion is taboo.

    Chuck, if you want to play something you don't have to blow in, I have a perfectly good accordion I could give you, and lessons. :)

    Ooops. Nothing to see here. There is no accordion! Look away.

    The accordion was given to good will. Yes, that's it. It was given to the needy. Yup, that's right.

    Sadly, they brought it back the next day, said they weren't that desperate. :(

    Hahahaha you guys can trade instruments, but I want a cool nick name. Does Bear know what his gig is yet? Now we need to discuss uniforms... or shall we go a la Cheech and Chong up in smoke, and every one wear something different?

    I think the boys should wear priest robes and we should wear habits.

    Or we could go nude, surrounded by an apple tree and a snake as our mascot.

    Too far? ;)

    Hahaha I call the apple tree. We could call ourselves "the Adam's and the Eve's" Nahh too "mama's and the poppa's".

    I don't care, as long as it's not burlap. Burlap does nothing for my complexion.

    Stick with me Chuck and you'll have to build a confessional in your house. ;)

    See why I don't go to church? I'd get struck by lightening in the parking lot. :eek: ;)

    Bella, I like the nude idea, mainly because I'm making Chuck go to confession because of it.

    I see you nakie with a big python around your neck.

    I think Synn should wear an apple thong (I don't know how we'll make it, I just think it fits the theme).

    I'll just go nude, with Cherry earrings, seeing as I'm "Mary with the Cherry". :)

    The boys will be our back up singers. I see them with little fig leafs.

    I can see the album cover now.

    Um, how am I going to play an accordion naked? OUCH!

    With duct tape and a full bottle of Tylenol! Hahaha Okay nakie sounds good. But I still need my nick name. I think Synnen should keep that name as well, it fits.

    Okay;

    Fr_Chuck (because it fits)
    Bear the sexy sinner.
    Mary with the Cherry
    Synnen (because it fits)
    Bella the snake charmer

    We need one more guy.

    M? Are you here M? We need a third man for our band.

    M the magnificent? Na. M the mayhem maker? Um. M the Mercenary? Giggle.

    We'll have to work on that. :)

    I happen to think the accordion is an awesome instrument. That and the bagpipes are probably the hardest instruments to master.
