You do not want to see a drunk Christian. :p

And besides her not drinking was part of the deal... :stare:

1258409 2012-02-10 02:58:00 I had a Christian chick flatmate years ago, went to church twice on a Sunday in morning and evening. Most moralistic goody goody two shoes you ever did meet. But when she had a sniff of a wine gum or wine biscuit she would turn it up. prefect (6291)

Suddenly found myself caught on her emotional tightrope... not a happy place.

She was drop dead gorgeous. Intelligent. Sweet. And more volatile than old dynamite.

1258412 2012-02-11 03:31:00 Perhaps if you read all of my post you will have noticed that it was originally a holiday to honour the Christian martyr, St Valentine.



Not in the history of the day, but the Americans have made it the crappy, sentimental, commercial day that it is.

I did read it.
Like I said, most christian days were pinched from pagan days. And who cares NOW? Even Xmas for most people is an excuse for eating drinking presents and holidays.
Not many people care about whatever religious thing they used to be.

Crappy, commercial day? Depends how you look at it or treat it I guess.
Doing something nice for you loved one that day can eliminate the commercialness.

Perhaps you'd prefer we did whatever they did when it was about the martyr, celebrate burning some religious person at the stake maybe?

1258414 2012-02-11 03:35:00 Nope. Far too commercialized as I am concerned. QW. (15883)
1258415 2012-02-11 03:48:00 Valentine's day is a day to be exploited.

A guy walks into a post office one day to see a middle-aged, balding man standing at the counter methodically placing "Love" stamps on bright pink envelopes with hearts all over them. He then takes out a perfume bottle and starts spraying scent all over them.

His curiosity getting the better of him, he goes up to the balding man and asks him what he is doing. The man says, "I'm sending out one thousand Valentine cards signed, 'Guess who?'"

"But why?" asks the man.

"I'm a divorce lawyer," the man replies.

1258416 2012-02-11 10:01:00 No way do I honor it I have been married 44 years and no "Valentines prese. It is a day women are supposed to propose to men, and any way I am happy except no Grandchildren. Arnie (6624)
