i almost forgot to post this story from the weekend's yard sale: towards the end of our morning, an older gentleman (in his 60s maybe) bought my computer bag. he, jack and i only said a few sentences among us, he gave me his $5, and left. maybe 90 minutes later jack and i were packing the unsold items in my car for my trip to unload them at the thrift shop... and jack came around from the front of his house with a confused smile on his face. turns out that while he was out front, the computer bag man came back... and cryptically said to him, "i've heard about you people... i represent someone else." and handed him a pamphlet on jesus and walked away. huh? "you people"? then it hit me -- at the yard sale i'd been wearing my favorite t-shirt of jack's, a coop designed shirt with a cartoon devil on the front. obviously not everyone understands lowbrow art. oh well.

totally unrelated -- i've joined weight watchers online after all kinds of peer pressure from ms_violet to join with her. (okay, more like she told me she joined and i was all "wheeee! me too!") the site has grown up a lot since i quit it last year, it's much faster and bug-free (the darn thing always froze up on me before and i gave up). it'll be nice to get back on track and see who's on the bulletin boards... and they have some good recipes, including a pork stew one i'm going to crockpot tonight. yay!

I hope that if some religion ever sucks me in, I will at least be able to avoid the sheer arrogance of announcing to strangers that I "represent" a particular deity.

Best of luck! Personally, I can't imagine doing it without meetings, but I hear it works great for others.

Did you say in your other post that you're doing Core?

i joined at the beginning of this year and did the meetings, and i stopped going after a while because the people in them drove me crazy (and i tried several meetings and they were all the same issue. bleh). i think having the bulletin boards will be a big help, we shall see.

yes, i'm doing core... i really like the concept and had some success on it the last time. :)
