On Monday

Pack Mule blackmailed invited me to Panera Bread for lunch which was okay even if I think their coffee kind of sucks. I've never had a latte so UGH in my life. Regardless, that's forgivable as she is good company 99% of the time. There is that 1% of the time where I'm reminded that she's 19 years old and I want to strangle her.

Anyways, after a latte and a bottle of water and two hours of craft discussion with Pack Mule and her Neo-Emo Girlfriend I had to hit the potty. The older I get, the smaller my bladder becomes but that is neither here nor there. I walk into the rest room and I'm immediately handed a pamphlet from the this woman I'd barely made eye contact with.

My first thought (though I did not voice it) was: "What? Are we out of TP?"

I accept the folded piece of paper mostly out of reflex and then I'm set upon by this woman... who proceeds to speak to me the word of Jesus Christ, her personal savior. At this point, I'm about 45 seconds from being forced to do the "pee dance". I'm too old to be forced into such a situation. REALLY. About half way through her lecture, all I can think is: "I bet Jesus never had to put up with his crap when he went to potty."

Pack Mule has lost the right to pick the place where we eat lunch FOREVER.

On Tuesday


I stayed at home and slept in late. It was great and then I worked while wrapped up in my snuggie. What? You may think that snuggies are lame but I've got news for you-- SNUGGIES ARE MAGIC.

On Wednesday

My husband stayed home and I refrained from doing physical or mental harm. Though it was difficult as I have an extreme case of PMS.

So, it's Thursday

And he stayed home because of the bad weather. My PMS is has reached EPIC proportions and my snuggie is in the washing machine because I spilled coffee on it yesterday.

Wow. You didn't serve the Witnessing Potty Blocker a sharp dose of snark?? Are you sure you're feeling well??

I will reserve judgment on the Snuggies. I'm all for warm, but um... don't expect me to wear it in public!

When I get jumped like that by fanatics, I always get this immature urge to say or do something completely outrageous. Like, open the door naked for Jehova's Witnesses or say "I'm sorry, my Lord Satan forbids me from worshipping any other gods" or stuff like that.
Ever since I came to England, I got this great other option; it's my favourite because it isn't offensive (to them) and I still have great fun. I just start talking in German and pretend I don't understand what they're talking about, saying "I'm sorry" repeatedly in a really horrible accent. It's great.

I came close one time. It was 9am and these two elderly men came to the door with their little pamphlets. I had gotten in at 4am and still had on my makeup. I answered the door in a deep V cut negligee and carrying a glass of wine and invited them in. Needless to say they practically ran away from the house and I wasn't bothered again for the next several years.

Love the vid. I had this whole long comment about how it's all about me and I know you you feel, but I deleted it. The tea seems to be keeping my inner diva in check today. Yay tea.

Ughhh, the BATHROOM!? Honestly, that is a new one. I am a Christian(if a liberal one) and i am not afraid to let that be known, or to talk about my faith if someone wants to know something, but honestly FORCING my faith on someone and doing so at inappropriate times like above has never made sense to me. That is not witnessing that is alienation. It gives those of us with sense and decorum a bad name, and makes our lives harder.

On the other hand, LOVE this vid, I am suprised i missed it. I search the net for Morgan/Reid vids and fics. There are not enough! And what is there is often lacking in quality! While I can see the appeal and basis for Hotch/Reid I am all about Morgan/Reid shipping in Criminal minds. I mean come on... its just HOT as hell. I also feel Morgan is just better for Spence, but that's a whole other discussion.

your Tuesday had me picturing Rodney all snuggled up in an orange fleece snuggie, curled up on the couch, having a made from actual good quality dark chocolate hot chocolate, reading his favourite physics magazine/fanfic/a good book, and just relaxing while waiting for John to come home.

Monday -
"thanks for sharing your thoughts about Jesus. I want to share with you my personal relationship with Jesus' mother. I call her the Goddess."

Tuesday -
I have a snuggie too. The bright pink one. They really are nice, even if I look like a ginormous blob of bubblegum. My kids laugh at me, but I'm warm and they're not.

Wednesday -
You are showing a remarkable amount of restraint! You would think if a man has to deal with PMS every month, they would get the hint?

Thursday -
My grandson has three taggies. This works pretty well when one needs to be washed. Maybe you could have an "open in case of emergency" snuggie? Or tell Spousal Unit to duck.

Love the video, love the song! I watch marathons of Criminal Minds and NCIS every week. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I think Mark Harmon is hot as hell.

I am surprised you let the prostelyzing woman live.

I would have been tempted to say, "if you want to keep preaching at me you will have to do in from the other side of the stall door"

P.S. Still think you are evil and totally hate you 'cause I am still reading Harry/Draco fic!

In my house we have three pink snuggies... one for each of the humans. If my Mother is wearing one it's the magnificent pinkness, if I'm wearing one it's the awesome pinkness, my father doesn't have a name for his.

For your amusement. Sheppard explains how planes fly on Murphy Brown. He shows up about at about the 45 sec mark

Damn it. watched some more of it and at the 6.50 mark he says he just finished his post grad work in physics... I now have two bunnies. One this young scientist is recruited to Atlantis and freaks Rodney out to hell and back. Two John Sheppard is the scientist under an odd witness protection thing.

Either one could turn out great. I hope someone borrows your bunnies cause I'd definitely be interested in reading either. :-)

Leopard print or Sheppard camouflage. If you have a print, it would have to be a tiger or maybe have one with "I'm a Bitch and Enjoy Being One!" printed all over it or "Watch Out PMT Zone"

Oh religion in a restroom... captive audience.

I had a similar experience with some Mormons in pouring down rain. Why is it I consider stopping someone obviously dashing to the bus stop in the rain impolite and yet those attempting to convert me do not?

By all means, talk about your faith with people. But not in the rain, or when they're moving in the direction of the bathroom!

What Jesus had to put up with....

Author Christopher Moore has some theories:
Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal (http://www.amazon.com/Lamb-Gospel-According-Christs-Childhood/dp/0380813815/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1297394825&sr=1-1)

My favorite things:
--No one ever talks about seeing Mary's face on random objects. It makes Josh mad.
--Brainstorming the Sermon on the Mount.
--Biff never, ever remembering a new disciple's name.
--The passive/agression of the disciples pre-Palm Sunday. OMG that alone is worth the price of admission.

Hmm, I probably would have walked in a stall and done my business. If she felt like talking through the door, so be it. The WC isn't a place were sneak attacks are accepted. :\

Do most Paneras have wifi? I prefer Panera to Starbucks but am boycotting them since they started blocking my preferred coffee-house-sitting sites. (slash & poker) Not sure if that's a local thing or corporate policy. When you're in Panera can you access your own site?

Date: 2011-02-11 05:56 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] i-cant-talk-now.livejournal.com
yes, Paneras is free wifi. i have never had anything blocked. altho during their busiest hours they have been known to restrict the time allowed, by booting you. hoping to free up the table i guess. where i live in northern va, even the Mcdonalds have free wifi. so too the libraries, Atlantic Bread co, IHOP, Greenberries, the list is endless. I sometimes have just sat in my car in the parking lot of these places and used their wifi.
also did you see the report recently that said that over 30% of Americans report that they have used someone, like a neighbor's open wifi? *raises hand*
saw a joke recently where someone screen captured a list of wifi networks showing up on their laptop and someone had called their personal network "i am too drunk to come up with a name." LOL
next month or so, I am going to get my own router and enter the wireless age for my condo. I am thinking of calling my network, "FBI Surveillance Van #2" *evil laugh*
