Tsuga Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Totally People on the Chat Board have made it into something it is not. I grew up with my mother blessing many people's hearts very sincerely, and it was not ugly or mean. I got that sense from movies, not from this board. Is it used sincerely?

Southern Ivy Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Are there laws against duct taping kids mouths shut and tying them to their beds? Asking for a friend.

SouthernIvy... 50 nativities... bless her heart. yeah, It was BAD. They down sized and she had to get rid of a lot. It started as a quest to find the perfect nativity and it exploded into a strange addiction. She was good and incorporating them into the house that for years we didn't know how bad it was. :lol: My sister and I were bored on day and counted. We had an intervention after that and anytime she'd start talking about a nativity, we'd sing "O Little TOWNS of Bethlehem". haha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mother used it sincerely and so do I. I know other people who do, as well. It is an old fashioned saying so I think it is dying out. Southerners are usually parodied in movies. We are actually way cool. 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like the Dave Matthews Band. That was one of my first concerts years ago, btw. And one of my favorites. Probably because of the contact high I got while sitting in the audience:-) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I am now organizing my dining room table in piles. Whether I will actually do anything with the piles has yet to be seen. This is how I feel about my laundry. My current excuse for not putting it away is that the closet light is broken, as is the jerry-rigged utility light that took it's place. Too dark to put away clothes, or find them later. #ain'tnobodygottimeforthat 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Someone plan Hamlet for me. In other words, plan a study of Hamlet which includes a reading in class of the Lamb retelling (one hour so one class period). The students will then listen to an audio reading at home while following along in their own copies. we will finish the year by watching a movie, but I don't know which one is good. I am tired. My brain is lazy. Someone plan this for me, pretty please. I have to reorganize my current syllabus to accommodate it, but that is not a problem.
