I've only ever had one Mormon come at me with conversion attempt, but I was alone in my mom's house, housecleaning and dancing to an LP of Belafonte's second Carnegie Hall concert, so he got distracted by the excellence of Belafonte and we had a short musical discussion, I politely explained that I was a Papist heretic and unlikely to give it up anytime soon, and then he left.
I see Mormon missionaries all the time on the buses in SF, though. They always, always look ridiculously sweet and handsome and mildly spooked by being assigned to the very heart of Sodom but startled at how shockingly normal most (well, many...well, some) of us look.
He proceeded to meltdown, screaming NO at the top of his lungs, growling and stomping his feet. Through the ENTIRE performance.
Oh, poor little boo! The reality of the big full formal room after all the fun rehearsing with his friends must have been terrifying. And poor you, having to witness his distress.
Yeah, I think I didn`t say, poor Noah. We were both haunted last night.
I need to cut down on the amount of paper mail I receive. It's way out of control. What avenues are open to me with the general junk stuff?
Put, "Return to sender - deceased" on them and stick them back in the mail? Otherwise, it's probably hunting down all the junk mailers separately.
ita, there is a link from the FTC on cutting down junk mail [link]
One of my apartment neighbors has a "NO JUNK MAIL OR FLYERS" label on his mailbox, and he seems to get less than the rest of us.
The problem at my house is that my father was insanely into mail-order catalogues in the early '90s, and we still get them ALL. I'm sure I could unsubscribe him if I sat down and tried to, but... I'm lazy. The amount of catalogues we get is absolutely insane.
Thanks for the link, WindSparrow. And maybe I'll try that tag, Perkins, although I can't imagine the mail delivery person would be happy about that.
German man castrates teen daughter's 57 year old boyfriend. There's so much sympathy for the father in the comments--I don't get it. There's no indication the older guy did anything illegal. It might be icky, it might make you defensive as a parent, but supporting castration? Seriously?
I've had lots of Mormons try to convert me. First of all, I think nabbing a crip is like a six-point buck to them. Second, racial profiling, which is creepily accurate since there are Mormons in my family...but how do they know? Do you just go after every blonde that doesn't wear makeup that often, or...
Kind of boggled by prostletizing Lutherans...the ones I know would take a casserole over more than The Word, but I know there are a number of different branches and stuff. For myself, it would be a hard thing to get "filled with the spirit" in, but I did it for a while to make my grandma happy and meet kids who didn't call me "spaz"
holy shit, ita, literal castration?
What's wrong with people?
