Truly an instrument of God's love, JZ. I'm so sorry your congregation has had to deal with that.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

And yes, thanks Pix for reminding me, I'm glad you had fun, ita. Is there any gossip or Leverage spoilers you can share?

The status is NOT quo.
Oh JZ, I just backread. That’s horrific. I’m so sorry you are dealing with all of this.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Wow, JZ. That current pastor sounds like a double-dipped jackass.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
It will at least make it more difficult for him to posture as the wounded innocent being hounded by all those left-wing bullies for being such a good Christian, but it's awful that he had the ability to do it at all.
The other guy has at least been assigned to another local church so he could continue his treatments uninterrupted, and two years later he's still alive and serving. And now we know where he is and what was done to him, so we can make a proper stink about it.
(And on a completely other topic, yes, credit unions are fantastic. We found ours through occasional Buffista JenK, and consequently owe her infinite cocktails and footrubs of gratitude.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I have Bank of America, which is great because there's a branch right by me. I haven't had any issues, but I only do very simple banking with them.

BoA is our evil bank. I'm sure they love you P-C, given the nature of your reliable income and lack of debt. (I admit I am totally envious of this. Happy for you, but envious.)

It's also useful because I can pay my rent through a direct transfer to my landlord.

I need to open a for-cash checking account at one of the banks that has an atm near me. Hate always having to drive to get cash. I can then transfer from my Wachovia/Wells Fargo account to them. I'm sticking with W/WF because my parents and my mortgage are on WF, and it makes it very easy and fast to do money transfers.
I GOT MY SWIM IN!!! Even the whole 2 miles and change, at a respectable, if not outstanding, pace. Got back just in time for MK.

JZ, there are no words. And Pix, I'm glad things are on the upswing.
