What if...

[Medic007]

In all honesty, I likely have been pretty thin skinned the last ten days or so. In that period of time:

1. My father-in law passed...it wasn't a surprise, but f$&? Alzheimer's still;
2. Made the decision to leave the Catholic Church for how it has been treating my (likely, but not certainly) Gay daughter and begun looking for a new Church Home;
3. Dealt with some major league political wranglings at work (successfully, but still draining).

Hang in there JD. Regarding churches, I'm no expert as I don't claim anything religion wise, but I do know that there are a ton of options for people out there. I know you probably already know this, but there are plenty of gay friendly churches in OKC. Even if your daughter isn't gay, it's still nice to get out of a closed minded place for a change of pace.

Sorry to hear JD. Life kicks us in the nuts at times.

Lost my father in-law of 35 years on Halloween. Pancreatic cancer given 6 months to live and made it only one lucid week and two more weeks deteriorating in a bed.

Lost my mom the day after Christmas when she went in for a hip replacement and never made it out. Completely unexpected.

One thing I discovered out of both experiences. They both suck and it doesn't matter if you sit and wait for it to happen or if it is sudden.

Come down and drink some whisky on the porch. It'll get better.

Would love to some time.

Since we are all making suggestions....

Look into reform Judaism

Political reality says Dems have to focus on midterms which IMO means keeping the outrage alive. Those arguing this hurts Dems need to realize that HRC was only just a couple of points..... etc

Well, it didn't work against the Nazi's.

You are using the possessive rather than plural of "nazi." Also, why would you capitalize it unless you are citing a proper noun or starting a sentence? Is "Nazi's" a band name or something?

Nazi is a proper noun.

Nazi is a proper noun.

Thats what I get for trying to be ironic (grammar nazi). Oh well.

I got it. It was just poorly executed, making you more of a grammar Mussolini.

Like hitler, I opened up a two front joke and it too was a bad idea. Should've stuck with the possessive vs plural.
