Cancer Posted December 16, 2018 Report Share Posted December 16, 2018 Well, I was under the weather, so I went to bed last night before 8pm. But I wasn't ill enough to sleep 12 hours, so I got out of bed so my wife could sleep, and I'm timesharing TV, marking papers, and defacing these forums. And as for making brunch, there's also a loaf of gingerbread in the oven now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, at the same timeslot, different channel, was one of those mainstream Protestant old white guys who disapproves of everything (except doing what he says, most notably giving him money). Y'know the BS line moms give to their kids when they make grotesque faces at each other, "Stop that before your face freezes in that position"? I swear, that must have happened to that guy and he became a preacher in hopes that the Divine would help him out. And it hasn't worked yet.
