We go to the 0730 Mass. Mostly Ranchers & Families, so a tad on my side of 60. One would think they'd be a primary target for mask wearing, older, one or more existing health issues etc. And during the early stages of this Bovine Excrement (and you know what I really meant to say, but Beans has tender ears), most folks did or they stopped attending (and tithing, as did we. Mrs J bumped up our normal donation to the Military Dioceses). Then our <a href="https://www.archsa.org/archbishop/" rel="nofollow">Communist Archbishop</a> said masks were no longer required but encouraged. Magically delicious, people started attending and week by week less masks were worn. I kinda looked around to gauge the number and who were wearing masks. A couple of weeks ago, I didn't see a soul wearing one. That was also the weekend that our Communist Archbishop decreed that Holy Water could be reinstated at the doors to the Church. That's when I knew we had definitely started winning. Is the war over? I doubt it, but I'm seeing more and more folks defying the guidance in one way or another. So....<br />Never give up, Never surrender!<br />juvathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096708575138552532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-75993820059435812722021-11-30T10:58:20.141-08:002021-11-30T10:58:20.141-08:00👍👍OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-36112522939597781362021-11-30T10:49:26.864-08:002021-11-30T10:49:26.864-08:00So do Mrs. Andrew and I.So do Mrs. Andrew and I.Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-41402583563814496802021-11-30T09:38:47.951-08:002021-11-30T09:38:47.951-08:00As to your last, really, it makes no difference.

Well, there's something wrong with them, must be Christian Scientists or Scientologists or something. Maybe even Pagans, though the Hell's Angels firmly have it written in their revised charter that DH is a Christmas movie. <br /><br />I mean, screw the politics, it's what could truly divide us all. One side saying it isn't, the other side saying "Now I have a Machine Gun, Ho Ho Ho" and proving it.<br /><br />As to any gubmint proclamations, I will just point out that the screeching levels of stupidity are getting rather high as the screechers find out that more and more and more are discovering liberty. <br /><br />Enjoy yourself this holiday season.

And at least for me, any time is food time.<br /><br />Last year, due to scheduling accident, we ended up having a full two weeks off at Christmas. It was amazing. I have known people that essentially save all their vacation and then are out three weeks or a month at a time. In some ways I have come to appreciate that; the complete disconnection time is a good thing (Going where they cannot find you helps as well, of course).<br /><br />As to The Plague Travel - that was the least enjoyable part of our recent trip. We essentially spent 7 days in masks from the time we left the airport at home to the time we returned (for Costa Rica and the tour company, it was a requirement) except for eating or in the hotel room. It was enough to pretty much convince me I would not necessarily travel abroad again until this thing gets resolved.<br /><br />I believe both spellings are acceptable; I prefer "doughnuts" as it makes me feel more highbrow.<br /><br />Actually, your posting is incorrect: The issue of Die Hard as a Christmas movie was discussed at the First Council of Nicea, but not successfully cemented in place until the First Ecumenical Council of Constantinople (381), in which the heresy of Apollonaris (declaring Die Hard as a non-Christmas movie) was put down and the original findings of the Council of Nicea confirmed.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-85877428714652252992021-11-30T06:24:59.684-08:002021-11-30T06:24:59.684-08:00I actually saw an Advent-type calendar where when ...I actually saw an Advent-type calendar where when you open each day, Hans falls a little further.

My brother actually drove up from the Boston area that day, but as he left around 0430, he saw no traffic problems.<br /><br />The time off is from working extra hours out in Sandy Eggo.

I can always find money somewhere, finding time is an issue.<br /><br />Donuts vs doughnuts, I like the cost angle.
