Instead we avoid it and go only so far as to discuss facial hair on men who work in the temple. <BR/><BR/>Siiiiigh. I'd like to unleash my feisty bitchiness on his ass, that's for sure.Sister Mary Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00642154849765529070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35670024.post-55975577168265358062007-08-14T09:21:00.000-07:002007-08-14T09:21:00.000-07:00cv- How do I not explode with anger?

They call them feisty bitches. I'm getting better at being one, though. :)<BR/><BR/>I hadn't heard that particular Adam/Eve/dinosaur theory. Interesting.<BR/><BR/>mc- I think a lot depends on my mood, too. And the topic. Some battles just aren't worth fighting. <BR/><BR/>I tend to bring up the arguments more with select people, some of them in-laws, some not. But I'd say I'm more free around my in-laws. They are more distant, I guess. With my family, I'm more (too) worried about hurting someone.from the asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10505277568750065742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35670024.post-57495507670191511722007-08-13T23:25:00.000-07:002007-08-13T23:25:00.000-07:00I think the way I'd respond to something like this...I think the way I'd respond to something like this would depend a bit on which side of the bed I woke up on that morning.<BR/><BR/>It would probably also depend on the family. With my in-laws, I'd err on the side of restraint. With my own family, I don't think I'd let crazy shit pass. At least, I've jumped on it in the past.MagicCicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953060711670437028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35670024.post-29472617004564709222007-08-13T11:44:00.000-07:002007-08-13T11:44:00.000-07:00You are a far better person than I. How do you no...You are a far better person than I. How do you not explode with anger?<BR/><BR/>I've had the Sagan encounter with my father . . . once. It wasn't long after he explained about dinosaurs living on the earth OUTSIDE of the garden of eden while Adam and Eve idled away millions of years until they fell (became mortal). <BR/><BR/>But then one can have that kind of worldview and yet dismiss someone like Sagan as an opinion-spouter. Unbelievable. <BR/><BR/>I see you got the same sex-talks as did I.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
