    evile: oh, hey! How was your weekend?
    SkyeDS: we had a good time despite many setbacks
    SkyeDS: engine trouble, getting lost, ticket for something I didn't
    do on t he way home
    SkyeDS: that makes two undeserved tickets and twice I've been hit, in
    seven days.
    evile: weather was super for being outside & camping.
    SkyeDS: but the boys kicked ass.
    SkyeDS: and we got our first pics of the girls in their new barding,
    in front of a stone castle, very cool
    evile: good for them!
    evile: can't wait to see photos :)
    SkyeDS: will definitely have time to upload them this weekend, and
    put up fence too, since Morconor is cancelled. Matter of fact, can
    do work day Saturday and then go to Drandmir Sunday
    evile: *nod* sounds like a good plan to me.
    evile: I am hoping they put up pictures from Extravagasm II
    somewhere...the photographer got a great photo of e. & our new
    friend Brian.
    SkyeDS: :)
    evile: I wasn't nearly interesting or pretty enough to get asked for
    a photo :( Oh well.
    SkyeDS: I don't like having my picture taken.
    evile: They didn't ask Rio for her picture, either, and she looked
    great, so maybe I won't take it personally.
    evile: I don't really, either, but I wanted my makeup job to be
    better documented than it was.
    SkyeDS: :|
    evile: Oh well.
    evile: Our new friend is an artist, so maybe I can talk him into
    getting some real photos done.
    SkyeDS: every once in a while I wonder if glamour shots are worth it
    evile: [Aunt L] got all excited about that a few years ago and managed to
    rope [sister H] into going. The pictures were not at all '[sister H]' but they
    were gorgeous.
    SkyeDS: lots of shinies and pretties :)
    evile: My thought on me getting glamor shots is that you can't make a
    silk purse out of a sow's ear--I'm fat and pictures add 10 pounds, so
    nothing to be done about that.
    SkyeDS: (that you wore to extravagasm)
    evile: Yeah. I had fun shopping.
    evile: the turquoise-colored bindi-thingys over my eyebrows didn't
    come out at all in the photo, but were striking in RL
    SkyeDS: I haven't had a chance to wear the pretty new bindis I got
    with my salwar kameez sets
    SkyeDS: I find that they don't like sweat (so no riding them while
    I"m wearing, and p ointless under a khafiya anyway)
    SkyeDS: um
    SkyeDS: that should be wearing them while I"m riding
    evile: heh. I got it.
    evile: I got some really excellent spirit gum at the Bazaar that kept
    mine on all night.
    SkyeDS: it's a good thing I took the khafiya off for the drive home
    evile: I swear by Ben Nye *anything*--I set my eye makeup with Ben
    Nye transparent powder at 8 p.m.and it was still flawless at 3 a.m.
    SkyeDS: I had the misfortune to meet my first rude state trooper, who
    obviously was gunning for the way I was dressed, and if I had had the
    bedouin headdress on....
    evile: That sucks.
    evile: there was a fatal stabbing at TRF this weekend, btw. Uranus-
    Pluto are hangin out right now, I think.
    evile: or maybe it's Mars & Pluto. Something bad.
    SkyeDS: nods. probably for the last week or so.
    evile: 'hide under the bed' kinda bad.
    evile: I had a friend who was scheduled for a surgical abortion on
    Friday, who miscarried Thursday afternoon & spent the weekend all
    icked out from that. :(
    SkyeDS: definitely something contagious in the air.
    evile: yup. *sigh*
    evile: Hopefully we're done with bad stuff for awhile.
    SkyeDS: I hope so
    SkyeDS: damage to two places on my truck that I can't pursue having
    fixed because it will damage my insurance rating even though it
    wasn't my fault
    SkyeDS: and two tickets I have to set for court (one 200 miles from
    home)
    evile: yuck.
    SkyeDS: miscarriages and stabbings - even worse
    evile: Pretty ick.
    SkyeDS: really do like that maya angelou that onyxlynxx posted.
    evile: *nod* I enjoy maya angelou's work.
    SkyeDS: man am I sleepy
    evile: I bet!
    evile: They are installing new printers at work, didn't tell
    anyone...eventually we figured out on our own "hey, don't print!".
    ugh.
    evile: Random geeks underfoot--I have no idea what the fuck they're
    doing, other than getting in my way. Oh, I can't do half my job
    because of their work? Okay thanks for letting me know.
    evile: *growl*
    evile: had something I intended to just send to Karen go to the
    entire poly list. oops. I'm glad I wasn't being as snarky as I'd
    originally felt like being... bad enough as is. *sigh*
    SkyeDS: <hugs>
    evile: Oh well. at least the person I was snarking isn't a regular at
    dinners, even though she's a fairly frequent poster on the yahoo
    group.
    SkyeDS: stupid puter had to reboot
    evile: yuck. hassle!
    evile: terrifying. I got up to get paper, and when I got back there
    was a geek at my 'puter!!!
    evile: He couldn't find 'my computer'..it's an icon on the fricken
    desktop. Who hired these people?!?
    SkyeDS: ROFL
    evile: *deep calming breaths*
    SkyeDS: am so glad Hugh isn't here today. I need to vege.

    Ruling Planet: The Moon
    Element: Water
    Primary Color: Orange
    Traits: Sensitive, domestic. Tends to be emotional and easily
    influenced to tears. Has a fertile imagination. Very fond of the

    near the water. Often possesses musical talents and would make a very
    good psychic.

    SkyeDS: that does sound accurate
    evile: better than: Inclined to be cold and pessimistic. Not much
    sense of humor.
    Often slow getting off the mark but usually ends up ahead of the
    game. Successful, especially where money is concerned. Frequently
    connected with mining, real estate and the law. Also with cemeteries
    and pawnshops. Believes that hard work never killed anyone. Often
    prepossessed with thoughts of the past.
    evile: I'll admit it's accurate, but not flattering.
    SkyeDS: nods. same as sineater's was (well, d uh)
    evile: :nod
    evile: so what is your opinion on this hypothetical situation:
    evile: Married couple, unemployed. Living with one spouse's parents.
    Female spouse has a baby, and parents deliver an ultimatum when the
    infant is less than a month old: Both spouses and infant must go to
    religious services while they are living under parents' roof.
    SkyeDS: if parents want to preserve relationship, parents will back
    down
    SkyeDS: regardless of their right to make such a demand
    evile: The sticking point seems to be that they want the child to be
    free to choose its own religion and are worried that this early
    exposure will somehow effect the relationship.
    SkyeDS: tenuous argument
    evile: I really don't think much of anything done or said around an
    infant makes much impact, barring polluttion or poor nutrition,
    things like that.
    SkyeDS: many children are brought up in one religion and switch
    anyway when they feel old enough
    evile: In that situation, I probably would just say 'when in rome'
    and not worry about it.
    evile: Take the kid to church, let it squall it's little guts out and
    disrupt the service for everyone, work on finding jobs & another
    place to live in the meantime
    SkyeDS: exactly
    evile: not worth alienating the inlaws over.
    evile: Now, if when the child is 6 or something they start demanding
    that the kid go to bible school, that's another story. But at this
    point, it's not really an issue, IMHO.
    SkyeDS: if they're still there when kid is 6
    SkyeDS: they've got major problems beyond religious training anyway
    evile: Have learned from many bad experiences not to tell people how
    to raise their kids and/or deal with their inlaws, however. I just
    thought it was silly to get all bent out of shape because your
    parents demand you waste an hour a week doing tedious BS.
    evile: EXACTLY!
    SkyeDS: Laura and Linda do a good job living with their children
    SkyeDS: but they don't lay down stupid law like that
    SkyeDS: they raised their kids to be independent and allow them to be
    even under the same roof
    SkyeDS: most times, you can't have two families under one roof
    SkyeDS: the women squabble for dominance
    evile: Well, these people seem to be drama-junkie twits, IMHO...but
    they are frends of friend, so I' not going to say nothin to anybody
    SkyeDS: <lived with my first Monsterinlaw Dearest for the first half
    of my f irst marriage
    evile: wow.
    evile: Sweetie and I would not have lasted a year if we'd had to live
    with Dot.
    SkyeDS: I think parents are within their rights
    SkyeDS: but shouldn't make the demands anyway, too combative and
    alienating
    evile: *nod*
    SkyeDS: anyway, have been there and done that, so I don't envy them.
    And wish them the best of luck.
    evile: *nod* It's just a matter of picking your battles, and for now
    putting a roof over the baby's head is more important than any
    spiritual practice. IMHO, but then again I'm not a parent & have no
    right to tell people how to raise thier kids.
    SkyeDS: I have no problems attending and even participating in Mass
    with Joanie
    evile: *nod*
    SkyeDS: if twere to give it thought
    SkyeDS: refusing to go would seem to show the belief that the
    religion is powerful
    SkyeDS: or a threat to their own beliefs
    SkyeDS: not making sense. sigh.
    evile: I do see where you're going.
    SkyeDS: time for you to go home

    @ 2004-10-16 14:15:00
    Current mood: calm

    A speech that should be delivered
    WOULDN'T IT BE GREAT TO TURN ON THE TV AND HEAR GEORGE W. BUSH OR
    JOHN KERRY GIVE THE FOLLOWING SPEECH?

    My Fellow Americans:
    As you all know, the defeat of Iraq regime has been completed. Since
    congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our
    mission in Iraq is complete.

    This morning I gave the order for a complete removal of all American
    forces from Iraq. This action will be complete within 30 days. It is
    now to begin the reckoning.

    Before me, I have two lists. One list contains the names of countries
    which have stood by our side during the Iraq conflict. This list is
    short. The United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, Australia, and Poland are
    some of the countries listed there.

    The other list contains everyone not on the first list. Most of the
    worlds nations are on that list. My press secretary will be
    distributing copies of both lists later this evening.

    Let me start by saying that effective immediately, foreign aid to
    those nations on List 2 ceases immediately and indefinitely. The
    money saved during the first year alone will pretty much pay for the
    costs of the Iraqi war.

    The American people are no longer going to pour money into third
    world Hell-holes and watch those government leaders grow fat on
    corruption.

    Need help with a famine? Wrestling with an epidemic? Call France.

    In the future, together with Congress, I will work to redirect this
    money toward solving the vexing social problems we still have at
    home. On that note, a word to terrorist organizations. Screw with us
    and we will hunt you down and eliminate you and all your friends from
    the face of the earth. Thirsting for a gutsy country to terrorize?
    Try France, or maybe China.

    To Israel and the Palestinian Authority. Yo, boys. Work out a peace
    deal now. Just note that Camp David is closed. Maybe all of you can
    go to Russia for negotiations. They have some great palaces there.
    Big tables too. I am ordering the immediate severing of diplomatic
    relations with France, Germany, and Russia. Thanks for all your help,
    comrades. We are retiring from NATO as well. Bon chance, mes amis.

    I have instructed the Mayor of New York City to begin towing the many
    UN diplomatic vehicles located in Manhattan with more than two unpaid
    parking tickets to sites where those vehicles will be stripped,
    shredded and crushed. I don't care about whatever treaty pertains to
    this. You creeps have tens of thousands of unpaid tickets. Pay those
    tickets tomorrow or watch your precious Benzes, Beamers, and limos be
    turned over to some of the finest chop shops in the world. I love New
    York.

    A special note to our neighbors. Canada is on List 2. Since we are
    likely to be seeing a lot more of each other, you folks might want to
    try not pissing us off for a change. Mexico is also on List 2.
    President Fox and his entire corrupt government really need an
    attitude adjustment. I will have a couple extra tank and infantry
    divisions sitting around. Guess where I am going to put em? Yep,
    border security. So start doing something with your oil. Oh, by the
    way, the United States is abrogating the NAFTA treaty ---starting now.

    We are tired of the one-way highway. It is time for America to focus
    on its own welfare and its own citizens.
    Some will accuse us of isolationism. I answer them be saying, "darn
    tootin."

    Nearly a century of trying to help folks live a decent life around
    the world has only earned us the undying enmity of just about
    everyone on the planet. It is time to eliminate hunger in America. It
    is time to eliminate homelessness in America. It is time to eliminate
    World Cup Soccer from America.

    To the nations on List 1, a final thought. Thanks guys. We owe you
    and we won't forget. To the nations on List 2, a final thought. Drop
    dead.

    God bless America.
    Thank you and good night.

    Current mood: distressed

    A desperate plea for help
    It has come as I knew and feared it would: we have been given the
    ultimatum, "You will all (including my infant son) go to a Christian
    church or you will find somewhere else to live."

    (for back story see the entry and comments here as well as the entry
    here)

    So I make this plea to all my friends and anyone of the pagan
    community (or anyone who feels that religion should not be
    experienced through extortion): Help us.

    We don't have much money, thanks to my inability to find a job and my
    wife's losing hers through being in the hospital for 10 days and not
    being allowed to return to work for another 2 weeks following. We
    have poor rental history due to owing an apartment complex for
    breaking a lease after we both go laid off.
    Basically we're in pretty sad shape or we wouldn't be here in the
    first place.

    I do not want my son raised Christian against my will. I want him to
    be open-minded and allowed to choose his own path.
    I also do not want to try to raise him while living on the street.

    If anyone can offer any assistance (feel free to link to this entry
    where ever you think it might help) I would be most grateful.

    I don't know what to do.
    ==================
    My thoughts:
    Okay, the infant is all of, what 3 weeks old? Like it's going to
    remember being taken to church. Why don't you just make nice with
