I would ask my wife to be a bit more submissive but i don't want her to head butt me again!!!!

So true. a good relationship is well balanced. Each should know when to let the other take the lead /control of things. There are times when a man needs it seems to feel he is the man and protector of his family to feel like a man so a smart women should understand this,..... just like a man should understand that a women somethings has the need to feel that she is just equal (which she is) and matters in the relationship. The man sure should remember to express this to her because many men just don't say things enough.

No two people match up perfect, each has his or her strengths in different areas. There is nothing wrong with taken the back seat to your parnter at times no matter what sex you are. What goes around comes around.

VATICAN CITY -- Pope Francis has reaffirmed the Vatican's criticism of a body that represents U.S. nuns that the Church said was tainted by "radical" feminism, dashing hopes that he might take a softer stand with the sisters.

Francis's predecessor, Benedict, decreed that the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), a group that represents more than 80 percent of the 57,000 Catholic nuns in the United States, must change its ways, a ruling that the Vatican said on Monday still applied.

Last year, a Vatican report said the LCWR had "serious doctrinal problems" and promoted "radical feminist themes incompatible with the Catholic faith," criticizing it for taking a soft line on issues such as birth control and homosexuality.

One of these nuns came on Colbert Report once. A very nice lady. I liked their views.

Fun at work last night. A girl who came in bought along her drunk boyfriend and a couple of his lowlife pals, who were hanging around the main entrance making a lot of noise and generally being pains in the butt. So when a colleague and myself approached them to ask them to calm down the boyfriend launched into a tirade of abuse and at the height of it,a big bread knife fell out the back of his joggers. I nearly shit myself, we backed off and rang the police on the old hotline whilst he picked up the knife and ran out the door whilst threatening to find out where we lived and come"get us"!!

Anyways the law were there in a flash and observed him trying to throw the knife into a bush. The long and short of it is he is already out on bail after a stabbing incident a couple of weeks ago. Why he is carrying a bread knife around i will never know?? Also turns out he was high as a kite on coke...

Interesting world we live in these days eh? My underpants were ruined

OMG Yogi, how scary. Geez, you never really know who you're dealing with hu? AND, he's out on bail for stabbing "incident?" Be careful




TIS

These incidents are fairly rare to be honest TIS, but they do crop up!! All usually drink or drug related. Sign of our times!!

We felt an earthquake last night. But then it was 1 am and I was sleepy, so I went to bed. So far so good. On the way to work I saw some folks have put up their tent in the park and have slept there.

Happy Birthday to my Martin D-35 guitar. 40 years old this year. She's great source of comfort and expression. If you don't know, Martin is called "America's Guitar", established in 1833, the Martin family stills owns and operates the factory in Nazareth, PA. Martin guitars are considered by many artists to be the instrument of choice - Eric Clapton, Jimmy Buffett, Paul Simon to name a few.

Also the company that designed the dreadnaught style acoustic.

Do municipalities remove signs that aren't pertinent anymore? For instance; is there a sign in your town on a local road that reads "Deaf Child in Area", or something to that affect. What if that deaf child grew up and moved away 10 years ago? Do you ever wonder about that? Why didn't the town remove the sign? And shouldn't the parents be responsible to make sure the kid doesn't wander out into the street?

Oh yeah... there's a "Deaf Child Area" sign down the block from me that's been there all my life! I've always asked myself the same questions!

Of course there's also the "Slow Children (At Play)" signs -- I think that's pretty rude to call some children slow.

I always wondered if they were mentally slow, or couldn't run fast. I've been on the lookout for those pedestrians without hands and feet. Missing feet could really be a problem.

There is a two lane country road by me with scattered houses. The speed limit is 50 mph, and there are signs that say "Watch for Children". In six years I've never seen any, but I keep watching.

Jimmy Hoffa found (maybe)

Thats because they have all been run over!

Interesting, Mig!

Here is today's update -- bones found!

Wasn't he buried in Detroit a few months ago?

I don't know if people saw this already but I thought it was hilarious. Language is beyond rough.
The most deranged sorority girl email you'll ever read

Also the actor Michael Shannon from Boardwalk Empire reads the letter as only he can.

In the book "I Heard You Paint Houses", Frank Sheerhan basically confesses to killing Hoffa and he speculates that Hoffa was cremated. The mob wanted Hoffa dead. They had a connection with a funeral home in Detroit. If you haven't read the book, it is full of interesting information; not only about Hoffa, but JFK and mob hits around NYC and Philly.

I have read it MC!!

Female Catholic priest ordained in Kentucky (controversy expected)

Do you smell that? It’s a big stink some Kentucky women just created for the Catholic Church (and while it smells like roses to some, it’s rotten to others). The Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests ordained Rosemarie Smead of Bedford, Ky., as a member of the clergy yesterday, in direct defiance of Louisville Archbishop Joseph Kurtz. Kurtz warned all Catholics to stay away from the event, since the Vatican clearly states that anyone participating in female ordinations will be excommunicated. Smead is 70 years old, marched for civil rights and lived for years as a cloistered nun. Could she be the Rosa Parks of female priesthood? [Source]

Apparently this didn't make the News, so, what's the source?

While I have witnessed some damn good women preachers in my life (okay, one comes to mind)... she wasn't Catholic. But I don't think that matters. A good preacher is a good preacher, it shouldn't matter if it's a (male) Priest or a (female) Preacher. Anyone can spread the Word and make a positive impact on someone.

This reminds me of the BSA (Boy Scouts of America) "rule" of discrimination against gays.

BSA says "no" (although I think that's gonna change soon), but they've said "no" for 100 years... and the Catholic Church has said "no" for 2000 years...

Right/wrong? That's a separate debate.

They're both practically-Political organizations that have their rules, and, you can either abide by their rules or not. No one's forced into the Church any more than they're forced into Scouting.

Do *I* have a problem with women priests or gay scouts or scoutmasters? Not really. But my (or your) opinion doesn't matter; the organizations have their rules, and we can agree or disagree, but that's that.

Rules change for the better or worse. We just have to see what happens....

Jason Collins, a center for the Washington Wizards, has become the first current member of a major American professional team sport to announce he's gay.

Lets see if this starts something bigger rolling.

Madonne! Professional ball players. Women becoming priests. Cats and dogs living together. What's happening?
