Folks, really I want to offend no one. I did meet rgcraig and her son at Starbucks this afternoon. My wife knew. And rg did give me a "Christmas Sweater" book.

I really wanted to stir things up a bit... and at the same time demonstrate the wisdom of preserving harsh judgement when we hear "news" from the rumor mill.


Bless you all!

So, the moral to the story is - - - things aren't always as they seem?

Glad we were able to meet up so you could get the book!

Maggie was there too, but we left her in the truck while we went into Starbucks!

St. Mark would have made it more ****news flashy*****

It's the coffee.



Starbucks coffee is evil.



Especially the doubleshot.



They cause possession of the "must have caffeine" demon.




They cause insanity by making something as simple as a plain old cup of coffee into a 437 thousand choice expedition into more kinds of "coffee" mixtures than should be legally allowed.
In fact, you can't even GET a cup of regular old coffee there.

They take you much farther than you want to go.




It's the coffee.

AHA!!! You heathen!

You must say 47 hail mary's and send me a case of doubleshots

[rgcraig]

I did not partake of the coffee - - only my son and Stephen did!

It was a short visit - had to get back to our families!

What is your opinion on this? Would you meet with a member of the opposite sex that you met online?

In one recent meeting one member was single and the other was married but met without their spouse.

What say you?

IS THIS CAUSE FOR CONCERN?

Oh my goodness gracious sakes alive. I could imangine what what my late husband Horace would have done if I snuck off in the middle of the night to snuggle up on a couch in a dark corner of some coffee house.

I don't think people of the opposite *** should even ride in a car together.

What is this old world a coming too ?? Next thing you know men and women are gonna think they should set together on the same side of the church.


Lands sake alive, you know as lonley as I was today, sitting home alone with a warmed up Swansons "radio" dinner. I'd of sure like to have had some company of the opposite *** myself, but I digress

But I shall hold out till the end, for I am holinesswoman.

Could it be a problem with other folks, and other situations? You bet.

So who did you meet Hoover?

Hey Dude,
I am glad you spoke up because for a split second I thought that some how the meeting I had with your wife was being mischaracterized.


I was trying to figure out how the "rumor mill" got things twisted from Subway to Starbucks!!!

And of course, like every juicy rumor, I was thinking they left off the part where we went to Church for worship, prayer and a sermon!! All the good rumors leave the important stuff out!!!

But I also do not think the Admin team or anyone, anywhere, on any Forum has any responsibility for the behavior of posters. People are people. Some are ignorant people.

Amen!
