@skematica Night

I'm very proud of Sidekick right now. I know she is dying to call and tell me every weird thing that happened but she knows I don't want to hear it.

@skematica My wife's family is very tame in comparison to the snake handling factions. Seems like it's just a bunch of guilt and covered dish dinners.

My childhood experience with them was a snake handling outfit in a very rural part of WV. They live in a very different world than the rest of us. I was raised Freewill Baptist but it never took. Services were held in a former one room schoolhouse dating back to the mid 1800s. Oppressively hot in the summer and deathly cold in the winter.

That only applies to Methodists and Baptists. Pentecostals are a different creature altogether.

@skematica Moral: Prayer and politics are not a good match.

@skematica My town hosts the world HQ of the Church of God. When the liquor vote came up (was a dry county. Alcohol sales were illegal), they held prayer meetings all over town. They, of course LOST the vote because…they were holding prayer meetings instead of…voting.

When I briefly got back into power lifting (before my logical side said, ''Stop, idiot'), I could consume about 6000 calories a day safely. But it was mostly chicken, tuna and things of that ilk.

I experience side effects such as acid reflux and losing the ability to see my feet when standing up.

It sounds almost barbaric, doesn't it?
