The mural is GONE!!
(Preview)
Well, almost! DH has to bring his saw in today to cut one final piece of paneling to finish the job...
This mural has been in the church office since 1972. No one has dared paint over it, for fear of "offending" those 2-3 people who might throw a fit. The lady who painted it doesn't ev...

I 've been doing some thinking about CA's
(Preview)
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
1 Cor 14:34-35 (KJV...

But does any other than me have a dh, whom you love terribly, but he has such a strong sex drive that sometimes you just want a break and look forward to his trips out of town or wish he'd take one? haha I 'm tired of fighting about it and trying to convince...

Kids tired of fishbowl
