Critterfixer Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I think I've consumed alcohol (sip or two) about two to three times in my life. Just never really wanted to, and I don't much care for the flavor of beer or wine. I would completely qualify as a sugar addict, however. :lol: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 What kind of church do you go to that you drink actual wine? Do children partake? What about alcoholics? Catholic and Orthodox churches use real wine. Possibly Lutheran? Episcopal? Yes, children may receive. Alcoholics choose to receive or not. No one has to do the wine, though. In the Catholic Church, both the Precious Body and the Precious Blood are served at Communion; people may choose either or both. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just never really wanted to, and I don't much care for the flavor of beer or wine. I would completely qualify as a sugar addict, however. :lol: I grew up in a completely tee-totaling household. When I got to college I worked part time at a real estate office (small, private, not part of a chain) where every time an agent closed we all went out drinking all afternoon. Hoo boy! I have to admit I did have a good time. For a couple of years in college I did go out drinking on the weekends, but finally I decided that my behaviour was not in sync with what I professed as a Christian. So, I quit. I don't think dh has had a sip of alcohol in his life. Every now and again my BFF and I will go out to lunch and have a margarita, but that is the extent of it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 What kind of church do you go to that you drink actual wine? Do children partake? What about alcoholics? It's Presbyterian (PCA) and they offer grape juice as well. My kids can pick whichever they want, though once they try the wine they generally stick to the juice. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I've had this long overwhelming list of stuff to do for a while. I was supposed to do it while the family was gone, but between KonMari-ing and spending my mornings in bed until 10 with coffee and a book it just didn't get done. Instead of looking at it every day and feeling overwhelmed I've decided to do one thing a day. Today I bathed the dog and *deep* cleaned the bathroom. Yesterday was the fridge. All the crevices in the thing that seals it. Icky. I'm not sure what I'll do tomorrow, but I like this one a day thing. Very doable. Also, Mary wants a hippo. It's becoming a thing. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested not naming them until we got to know them and Matt was appalled by the idea. Well, we tried different names (including the one dh had picked a month before birth), but it just didn't seem right. We would use our fallback name of Nepomucena, which is a reference to a movie made by Mexican comedian Cantinflas. He played a priest in that movie and thought the name was so bad he refused to baptize a baby with it... Yeah, we have a great sense of humor. Bebe/baby/little one/chiquita, those worked too. :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't agree on a name for Gymnast until three days after she was born. Now I desperately want to know her name. I was people-watching while waiting for the best burgers in the world. It was interesting to watch couples who actually talk to and look like they enjoy one another. It was probably an act. Who does that? The other night, dh and I were out at dinner, and I was really cranky and blowing off steam about some stuff to him. (not at him, to him) So there we sat at Chipotle, and I think we didn't look happy but we were fine. Our life is just a little nuts. You can tell nothing by what people look like, I think. People watching is fun. The young lad dishing out the rice was slow and dished too much rice. I told dh that he was no kind of candidate for the line lead. Also, there are two side tables at our date night Chipotle. The other night both tables were taken, even though that is where we sit, yo. So I sat somewhere else with a bad look on my face. When dh sat down, I said, "Some &^%$#&^s sat at our table." He found this hysterical. Cursing and humor. It's all we have left. :hat: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
