This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

My hair drove me nuts today so I sucked up some courage and walked into a salon and went with the first available stylist. I like the color and the cut seems good. Will know more when I style it myself. The greys are gone for now and I have bangs again. Woot!

It's using stolen credit card to buy anything at a Christian Center I find peculiar.

Not really - Christians come in all moral flavors just like everybody else. My late father was in the business world, and he always winced when a check with a bible quotation on it came in. Because it was 90% certain to bounce. Not a commonality among Christians in general, a commonality among Christians who chose to order custom checks with bible verses. I think there are some relevant quotes about overly public shows of piety not being a good sign of having the holy spirit. But they don't come to mind at the moment.

Actually, it seems weird to me, too, because of the whole Ten Commandments, Thou Shalt Not Steal thing. The idea that one is a Christian implies that one at least pays lip service to those tenets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

If only they'd had the WWJD bracelet before stealing the CC#! Because I'm pretty sure Jesus would not have done that.

Yeah, you think?

The only time I found out what thieves bought with my credit card, it was super stereotypical: expensive TV, trendy clothes, etc.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have, luckily, never had worse than failed attempts to buy stuff (a tank of gas, membership in a dating site, fairly small transactions but obviously not mine) that the CC company caught right away.

IO-shopping-N, I tried to use a Groupon at this shoe store, and could not find a damn thing I wanted. There was one pair of boots that would have been perfect, except the zipper snagged IMMEDIATELY, so fuck that. Anyway, they carry a brand that my mother loves, so I just offered the Groupon to her! So I feel like a genius for remembering how close by she is.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Did any of you guys become infatuated with certain music after the age of 30 (a different music than what you already loved by age 25)? I would love to hear your experiences.

Infatuated might be a strong word, but a folk festival concert I went to in my late 30s sparked an appreciation of Bluegrass and prompted me to buy an album from my favorite of the bands in attendance (Out of the Blue Band, since renamed Greenwillis) on the spot.

Matthew 6:1 Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

I find that verse useful in debate.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Actually, it seems weird to me, too, because of the whole Ten Commandments, Thou Shalt Not Steal thing. The idea that one is a Christian implies that one at least pays lip service to those tenets.

According to one flavor of Christianity, Christians are not perfect, just forgiven.

At which point I remind myself of the many Christians who don't use their faith as an excuse to be dicks, several of whom are on this board.

Eh, people. Whatcha gonna do? I'm sorry some of them messed with a Buffista's finances, though.
