I've never understood the whole "speaking in tongues" thing. It raised an eyebrow when it was a question on our paperwork (as in, "do you have the ability to") when we joined our church a number of years ago.

I thought speaking in tongues was like ... spontaneously babbling in some ancient forgotten language.

I saw a girl riding her bike and texting the other day here in New Haven. It just makes you shake your head.

It's a Pentecostal thing mainly. I kind of describe it less as speaking in some other actual language, and more like you feel this bubbling joy or prayer within you that you can't adequately express with formed words, so it comes out as gibberish. And then you call up that gibberish when you want to remember that feeling and use it in prayer. FWIW, I have indeed spoken in tongues and 'have the ability to'. Though it is a very rare thing in Lutheran settings, so I am not necessarily asked about it (and people look at me funny for a second when I say I can).

And I heard it's going to be a bumper crop for McRibs this year. P.S. I had to look up how long ago I posted that...almost 8 years...8 years...is it me or is time going by faster?

FWIW, I attended a church where they spoke in tongues. It was definitely weird for me (non practicing Catholic) but I saw sincerity and intensity. Never did any research into it but apparently lots of references in the Bible.
What Does the Bible Say About Speaking In Tongues? The preacher looking at his phone messes with all that though. |

Going through the trial week now. The wife wanted something quick and easy to make on her dinner nights. It was good enough that we're trying a 2nd week. My personal opinion so far is that the food is much better than I expected and the wife said it's easy to make. The couple of meals we've had were very flavorful and filling. I don't see us using it for more than a night or 2 per week, but once summer baseball starts it's been almost impossible for us to avoid a lot of fast food so this could really help us there. |

Good to know. How good of a cook does one have to be in order to make the meals?

"Dummy proof easy" according to my wife. Each meal comes with a sheet that breaks the cooking instructions down in 6 steps with pictures along with a list of any dishes/pots/pans needed. Out the 3 meals we received the only ingredients we had to provide were salt, pepper, vegetable oil, and olive oil. |

Yeah those packaged meals are really easy to make. If you can’t cook it’ll be a good start.

Is there a more selfish or unaware person than the parents that bring the stupid oversized chairs into high school stadium bleachers and crowd the folks on either side and behind them?
Watching a HS volleyball regional tourney. Gym is packed as teams shuffle in and out. One seat open on the whole bleachers and granny and her backpack chair plops in front of me with half the chair hanging off the back of the seat and into my knee. Looks back and says ”sir you may need to move” I smiled and said sorry no where to go, maybe it’d be easier without the chair....(silently to my self - you worthless cunt) And she thinks I’m the asshole in this exchange. |

I personally wouldn't have said anything. I'd just have shrugged and stared at her.

I had an ex who did things like that. Justified inconveniencing others by saying "it isn't the end of the world". No, but neither is what you feel like you need to be doing and that's a terrible response.
Of course she thought she was super selfless.

I have a similar memory that is burned in my head even years later: I was at a fairgrounds concert with my buddy (Steely Dan AND Michael McDonald) and midway through the headliner's set this old lady and her husband take the seats next to us, and the lady leans over and loudly "SHUSH"es my buddy like a cartoon witch before her butt has even hit her seat. Lady you haven't even been in this vicinity for a full fucking second.
My mom's one of those people. She can immediately identify the staff in the restaurant with the least responsibility and/or grasp of the English language and she will immediately start making requests of them. She always moves seats after the movie starts. She always requests a different room then whatever the hotel gives her. etc. etc. Once I told her she had Shitty Customer Disease and it did not go over well.

Not sure there is anything more treacherous than removing the tooth from under the pillow of a sleeping six year old and replacing it with cash.

We always put the tooth & money in a ziplock bag.
How much money does the toothfairy give in your house? I gave $20 the first time I did it and my wife took over after that and only gave $2.

My tooth fairy gave $10 to my kids...until dad had too much Bourbon and he left a $50 instead....
"It was a special tooth" We'd usually snag the tooth and drop money on floor beside the bed. "It must have been under your pillow and you turned over in the middle of the night." |

You ever open a web page as a reminder to yourself that you need to accomplish some task or call some business, then 5 days later it is still open and you haven't done it yet?

I don't want to corrupt the MLB thread since this has little to do with the on field games today.
Atlanta Braves to reduce Tomahawk Chop in Game 5 Why now? Why are the comments of Ryan Helsley the tipping point for this? What am I missing? I really am not trying to get into the right, wrong and rights of the Chop. That has been discussed ad nauseam. It just seems weird that it was cool for Game 1 and 2 but then Ryan Helsley said something and then poof... reduction of the Chop.

That appears to have been the public motivation, as the team press release noted that they would not use the chop sound effects when that pitcher was in the game.
