2, except seeing that it's Adder, I suggest moving New Zealand to the last destination, just in case you strike out with the lassies, you can move onto to the sheepies.

Re: So
 

I've been alone in a field with sheep almostly daily for the last three weeks. No thanks.

Re: So
 

if I remember my catechism you need to go to confession at least once every three acts of bestiality or the priest is not required to believe you're repentant.

and a "double pleasure" with the same ewe counts as two.

Re: So
 

Perhaps, but I did a pilgrimage on Croagh Patrick the other day, and there was a sign saying that the pope grants plenary indulgences for that. So I got that goin for me. Which is nice.

Re: So
 

"To gain a plenary indulgence, a person must exclude all attachment to sin of any kind, even venial sin, must perform the work or say the prayer for which the indulgence is granted, and must also fulfil the three conditions of sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion and praying for the intentions of the Pope."

Re: So
 

That. Is. SO. HOT.

Re: So
 

Blah blah blah. The sign said something like that, along with circling a pile of rocks half way up and repeating certain word to yourself while getting dizzy. Can't really matter right?

Regardless, I am not insane in less's book so the heck if i care.

although, mom's willingness to forgive has to score points?

Re: So
 

So, theology boy, what does "intentions of the pope" mean?

Re: So
 

parents keep letting their sons become altar boys despite the risks?

Re: So
 

Every Mass has "intentions," which are prayers in which you ask God's blessing on or for a thing. (They're the part that traditionally go "Blah blah blah blah blah. We pray to the Lord." "Lord, hear our prayer," although nowadays liturgists are encouraged to be more creative in the response.) They're also called the Prayers of the People, which is pretty fucking ironic given that the people aren't consulted in advance. In fairness, in smaller Masses the priest or lector invites people to give their own intentions, e.g. "I pray for Aunt June who's having surgery tomorrow, that she be kept safe and recover fully. We pray to the Lord." "Lord, hear our prayer." So that's what an intention is. And apparently, the Pope publishes boilerplate intentions for each month of each year, which I guess people are encouraged to pray for. Maybe they're added to the ones said in Masses; I've never noticed or cared.

In 1992 my family went to the UK. We went to Westminster Cathedral (which unlike the Abbey of the same name is Catholic) for Sunday Mass. One of the intentions was for the Queen and royal family. Dutifully, we intoned the standard, "Lord, hear our prayer," but an elderly Irish gentleman in the row ahead, wearing a three-piece heather gray suit, drowned everyone else out with "LORD, DON'T HEAR MY PRAYER." All this time I'd been dutifully saying the standard response even when the intentions were for a worldwide ban on abortion or for the conversion of the Jews and such. That guy opened a while new world of dissent. A few years later I was an Episcopalian.

For anyone who has children with an ex, do you ever get to the point where you are "okay" with having to "share" your child? I am livid on a daily basis because I do not get to be the mother I wanted to be due to McDouche's actions. I am really worried that I am never going to be okay with this and it is seriously destroying every moment of my life. I am so angry that my baby has to be shuffled around, even though it is minimal at the moment. I AM SO FUCKING ANGRY. HELP!!!!!
