A bit shocking but funny

[chocolatepuppy]

I didn't want to do it and send them into shock and kill them. LOL

They would have to forgive us.... It's their law isn't it?

Maybe they would have laughed themselves to death after seeing your body?

I'm sure they'd forgive you for being so silly.

I'm Catholic and am gonna forgive you for posting something so ignorant.

Speaking of nuns.... When my son was in college, my (then) husband, son and I were flying to CA for vacation and to visit family. Two of us got moved up to first class seating so my son said "You two go ahead. I'll stay back here". We both knew my son's sense of humor and thought "Ruh roh!" but we decided to go ahead w/it. My son was seated next to a nun and we'd both look back periodically and all was well. My son was wearing his ear buds and crazy sun glasses and he was mercifully leaving the nun alone. A little while later when I looked back again, the nun was wearing the far out sun glasses and his ear buds and she was rockin' to the music, head bobbing up and down! My son cracked jokes for the rest of the flight and the nun just loved him and she wasn't that young either. So don't judge someone by their garb, Monica, or even their facial expression. As Catty1 said, they could've been just coming back from comforting someone or maybe they had just heard of a tragedy. We just never know.

Chocolatepuppy,

I feel sad for you. No wonder I don't post much anymore.

That's ridiculous. She has every right to post her opinion and she did not do so in a way that had personal attacks.

I was raised Catholic and I can tell you that the old stereotypes of priests and nuns are usually far, far from reality. They're human beings just like anyone else who laugh and cry, feel anger and sadness, have strengths and weaknesses. People seem to particularly like to mock nuns, and old Hollywood portrayals don't help. One of my family's best friends when I was a kid was our church's nun. She had us over for dinner, watched movies, laughed at jokes, just like anyone else. The local bishop where I used to live in Minnesota had a beautiful borzoi that he walked every day and loved to answer questions and talk about the dog to anyone who stopped and asked. The butt of the whole joke here was simply because these women were nuns who "can't have sex."

I can tell you, too, why sometimes elderly people in particular may look "dour." Working in the medical field, they often are plagued with a lot of different pains and health issues that they deal with every day. They've often lost a lot of close friends and family who have passed before them. My grandma is in that situation. She's in her 80s now and all her closest friends have passed away from one thing or another, including my step-grandfather.

Nuns are often very remarkable women who give and sacrifice much to help and serve God and the community. It'd be nice if that was the first thing people thought of when seeing a nun, rather than that vow of celibacy.

It's her opinion and she's entitled to it.

Why Donna, how nice of you to speak to me, first time ever!!! I too, am entitled to my opinion.

[Asiel]

Very well put K9Soul--- a sense of humour is one thing but to turn it into something else and feel you're entitled to make fun of someone is totally digusting.

Yes, it might be her opinion but sometimes an opinion is best kept to themselves. I too was and still am able to chat and laugh with my daughter about anything, including sex, but heaven forbid we should make fun of someone because they had a serious expression...wonder how many people would sit in a car and laugh their heads off after attending the funeral of a family member.

Thank you Mary. I am sure nun had a better time on that plane ride then the sister who sat next to your handsome, talented and incredibly funny son. Had I been sitting next to him we would have probably been thrown off for laughing too loud or starting a congo line.
As for the nuns they did not even look our way, they were too busy in their own world.
As for posting private things on PT.
Here on PT we talk and share all kinds of personal info. Births, deaths, finanical, cheating, being fired. I feel it is a safe honest place for me to post and be myself. Not everyone is going to like what I say however when one person is down on their luck here, we put our differences aside and jump in to help and support. We are a loving, somewhat disfunctional family and it is great.
If I see you in the Macy's parking lot I will call your name and hit you with a snowball. Then I will ask you where you want to go for coffee after you lob one back at me. It's how I roll.

LOL I was brought up Lutheran so I wil forgive you for being Catholic.
Lutherans always think of themselves as more enlightened.
It's a load of crap.
They are just as confused as every one else.

[aTailOf2Kitties]

a Baptist would never do that....unless they were absolutely sure no other Baptists saw them do it. They're just as messed up as the rest of us, but they're paranoid about it, LOL

that's the basis of the following words of wisdom: Never take a single Baptist fishing with you, always take at least 2. If you only bring one, he'll drink all of your beer.

Thanks for forgiving me for being Catholic Monica! You do have a sense of humor(as do I even though some may crawl out of the woodwork to diss me) I, of course, was not seriously making fun of your body. You are an attractive woman. I find you a ray of sunshine somedays, other days, well, I don't agree. But strike me dead because I voiced my opinion.
Anyways, there's a woman who goes to my church who looks a LOT like you. Is it you? And for the record, I still think this is an ignorant thread.

[Marigold2]

No I don't go to church any more. Have not gone in years. I sent my kids to a private Lutheran school and when my daughter was in second grade her married teacher was having some fun time with the married principle.
That kind of soured me. It was a very very big scandle.
But even more then that was their attitude of being better then everyone. Better then the Catholics and every other religion, they were the TRUE religion they had all the answers. Every one else was wrong and by the way the earth was only 5000 years old. How frigging crazy is that?
Why thank you for saying I am nice looking? Do you want to get together for lunch. I promise not to flash you. Just make sure I don't have more then two Lemon Drops because after that, all bets are off.
Do bring an extra pair of panties, we will be laughing a lot.

[chocolatepuppy]

Yes, we should get together someday, we don't live that far from each other. Be careful, I am known to be quite a clown. We may need Depends.

[wombat2u2004]

HAH !!!! You're such a wag sometimes Monica
I would have loved to have been there to share in that with yourself and daughter. You've got a sense of humour like me.

[Marigold2]

We do have the same humor, but I am not as clever as you.
You make me laugh all the time.
Your wife is a lucky lady.
They do say that laughter is the best medicine, I will take a dose of Wom any time.

Where do you live? I'm in Ohio, too. If you'd rather not say but PM me instead, please do.

Those nuns probably have already seen worse in life then a flashing. It probably would of made their day or they would of whipped out their rosaries & started praying a bunch of hail marys for you naughty girls.
