I went to Catholic schools for 18 years. I went to church so often that THEY owe ME!

I can't tell you how many times I had to go through the Stations of the Cross! UGH!

Brd - I agree about the church being the people. My husband is very religious and we have a deep history with the church. It is also a source of some disagreement because he sees things as black and white with no grey areas and I have my own views but I don't try to discuss things as I can't "win the discussion"

Yeah, Baddy, maybe you should call him "Father T" instead of "Big T." (Aithough I must admit that Caldwell and I got a good chuckle from your using that term...affectionately, of course!)

BW, my father is dogmatic, but a very compassionate man. My mother is a convert and all of her views are formed by her role as a mother and grandmother.

Miss P - All the girls friends have called BT that for years. Someone started it and it just stuck.

Brd - I can relate to your mother. I am a convert. Hubby's family would not have liked me if I had not become a Catholic. I also mainly see the church as a help in my role as a mother and grandmother. We can have a good discussion when we meet at the midwest get-together, okay.

Penny - I would like to see you go head to head in a discussion with BT. I think you could hold your own. I'm not sure I would want to be there but I would like to watch it later!! LOL

As I always say, Baddy, you are BAAAAAD! I learned a long time ago that there is no point in arguing with people who refuse to tolerate any viewpoint than their own!

You are a very smart person Miss P. Like I said in my job interview years ago when asked how I felt I would work under direction of someone, I said that I could only relate it to how I relate to my husband and that was that he tells me what he wants me to do and then I do what I want!! And I still got the job.

That's GREAT BwAddy. I'll have to use that next time.

You see! You ARE BAAAAAD. (Hence the name "Baddy!)

You are just like my friend Connie. Her husband is always yelling at her about something and she goes, "Uh huh. Okay. Yes. Let's discuss this later. Bye." Then she turns to me and says, "It's been like this for 43 years." And I say, "If I had married him, I would be locked up right now because I would have murdered him and then bragged about it!"

Well Shira it worked for me but I'm not sure I would recommend it. My husband would call it passive rebellion! But it is problably one of the reasons we are still married...don't argue but just do what you think is best for you.

I have to say that Caldwell and I are pretty well matched. I "remind" him of things he has to do and he gets indignant about it, but when I don't and he forgets, I get blamed for not reminding him. So I'm not going to win. I figure it's better to have him get pissy with me for nudging him rather than keeping my mouth shut because that way things actually get done!!!

Oh, Miss P & Baddy.

We'll see what my future husband is like.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 6/2/07 at 12:57am

He'll be just like George Burns, of course!!!!

You got it!

Okay, I'm getting a TV for my room here in LA:



or



I can't decide!

I love HELLO KITTY!

Posted: 6/2/07 at 1:02am

Maybe Connie and I should compare notes! Sounds similar. I have learned some things in recent years and handle things a little differently. As Dr. Phil says you teach people how to treat you so I now take responsibility for my part in the relationship and know that if I allow certain treatment then how will it ever change.

LOL miss P. I like it too, but isn't it too immature for someone whose a semi-adult?

Shira - I saw a real nice little flat screen at Sam's Club the other week. It was less than 300 dollars.

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 6/2/07 at 1:07am

Connie "manages" her husband pretty well at this point. But a big part of it is "blocking out" a lot of what he does and says. I get upset sometimes because this is a woman I really love and respect and the way he treats her is inexcusable. I asked her once if she ever fights with him, and she said, "Are you KIDDING?" as if to say, "ALL THE TIME!"

Well, believe it or not, I'm TIRED and am going to try to go to bed. I get to sleep late tomorrow. YAY!

But I'll check in this weekend.

Love to everybody!!!

wow so glad im never getting married

BwAddy -- thanks for the suggestion. I just need a cheap (under 200) for my room here in LA. The rest of the year it will gather dust. Also, I don't belong to Sam's Club! But thank you! I would ADORE a pretty flat screen.

Posted: 6/2/07 at 1:15am

Harris - it's not all bad and I love my family!!!

Well, it has been fun but it is waaaay past my bedtime. I can't believe I am still awake. So goodnight to all. Hope to check in tomorrow.
