Curious as A Cat: Week #134

1) What has been the most insincere expression of faith you have ever witnessed?

We had an emergency call about four weeks ago on Saturday evening, in St. Peter's Church on Baldwin Road and Route 46 West. An older patron was complaining of chest pain. We rolled in with the stretcher and equipment and the preacher was going on, full blast, over a sound system. We were working up the patient and still he went on, never giving any indication that we were there or that a paritioner was in distress of any kind. It was amazing.

He was saying something about giving thanks to the lord. I wondered what he was thanking the lord for if he could not find a moment to spare for the paritioner in medical distress. He did not even stop the organist from pulling all the stops on the instrument and playing, which did not help us at all, as we were trying to get a blood pressure. Without some modicum of silence, we can't get one.

So there you have the caring and love that is the Catholic church. I'm told, too, that this is normal. They don't let anything interrupt the services.

Karma, baby. That's all I have to say.

2) If you could paint each room in your house a different color, what colors would you paint them?

Well, the sunroom is already light blue and the eating area and kitchen are a light, happy yellow. The living room would be better with "Thistledown beige" and my office is a pale yellow also. Luis' office should be a pale grey (with a little blue in it) and our bedroom a pale green or maybe a light lavendar colour - a good peaceful sleep colour.

3) What is the biggest myth about sex?

The G spot. What a load of crap that is.

4) Who is the most charming person you’ve ever met?

Hmmmm. Um, a gentleman by the name of Jim Davies. One of the sweetest, most sincere people I've ever met.

5) Show and Tell. What comes to mind first when you see this picture? Or, tell a story if it reminds you of one.

It reminds me of the Susquehanna area after the floods in 1973 that devastated the area. Everything was damaged and ravaged by the river waters which had risen quite high. This looks like the buildings that were left there.
