We are all gifts from God, even though some of us would like to see others returned for store credit. Wow, a double suicide for the printers. Do you think it was a pact??

I don't know, but I just went downstairs to put the laundry in the dryer and discovered that the washing machine seems to have been in on the pact too. I'll have to keep an eye on the rest of the appliances.

Printers and photocopiers hate me. So much hate. Doesn't matter the type; new, old, they hate me. I've had little old ladies come and rescue me from my battles with them. It's never pretty, to have a 60 year old go tut-tutting around the machine and then look at me like I'm a moron, press two buttons and get results. This needs to be a high school class: Requirements for Seniors, one semester Government, one semester Economics, one semester Sinister Computer Accessories. That way scanners and projectors can be covered as well.

Poor you. We avoided the whole religion issue for the longest time until it was no longer an issue. But then, no one gave our kids Bible stories for children, either.

I'm very curious how the religion issue evolves. My mom totally ruined me for life (you may already know this) when she informed me that "no one knows everything". I always tell her that was her chance to make a pitch for her God and she didn't capitalize on it.

ROTFL, Smed - yeah, I can think of several I'd like to return but they didn't come with gift receipts!! "But I fear that it is a slippery slope giving into comfort, that afterwards I would find myself wearing green crocs and holiday sweaters and cat sweatshirts." You know, I knew there was reason someone gave me a holiday sweater (ack!) for Christmas -- I figured it was just that she didn't realize there was not a snowball's chance in Hades that I'd wear it but, no!, it's because I wear yoga pants around the house all the time!! There's not enough money in the world to make me wear it. Ok, well, there is, but no one would ever offer me enough dough to make wearing the thing worth it!

I thought you might find it interesting that some have told me that I have the same accent as the actors in Fargo. I guess I haven't quite gotten "y'all" down yet! :)

There are the faiths (and denominations) that claim to have all of the answers. Then there are the folks who are comfortable with discussing how to phrase the questions - I'm firmly in the latter category, which is probably why I am still an Episcopalian. My rector loved AJ's explanation that God made the world because it was fun.
