Rubbout is happening April 12-14 this year. I plan to attend the Friday and Sunday events. Will write about the weekend in my next monthly entry and include some pictures so check it out! Also, I found out that in a couple of Saturdays, our "Granny-Griz" Bill Houghton is having a surprise 60th birthday party put on by his partner, David. I was told ( Read more... )

Nice to hear that Bill is still kickin'.

What's he look like these days?

About the same, he hardly changes LOL! Still looks hot in rubber. If he attends the Friday night social at Rubbout next month, I'll try to get a pic of him and post it here so you have a more recent pic to see. Hopefully in the mothly entry next month. :)

It's sad when people have to put down other religions in front of people; it's an insecurity, basically. And it's a bore.

This is why I'm totally against religion.

It does not bring people together-it causes
long, bloody, unnecessary wars.

It causes other bad things, like bigotry,
hate crimes, etc.

People say and do the WORST things-all in the name of religion.

I'm hoping you won't have problems on the job-and things will stay status quo.

*HUGE HUGS*

That's true. I don't care much if people hold a low view of religion (as long as the reasons are legitimate) but for the sake of unity, it's best to keep comments private - especially when a religious ritual is going on! It would be like going to a church and screaming out during communion without understanding the symbolism, "You guys are eating some dead guy's body and drinking his blood? Cannibals ( ... )

David is going to have a Passover seder but I'm debating to be a part of it since his "friends" are going to be there, a couple of them hold very anti-Christian attitudes which David, as a Jew, feels no need to call them on it, even in my presence (he has allowed this to happen with others through the years). I do not remember the topic, but when you first sent Me the friend-request, your then-current post was about something David had done. There must be some benefit to having him around, but he seems to have some serious downsides!
I suspect your plan to be somewhere else when the seder is held is a good one. I am less forgiving, and would (Hypothetically, as I know zero about your situation or the people involved.) likely make some remark amounting to “That is exactly what you are doing!” to person mouthing off. I would then hold David accountable for re-inviting the known (this has happened before, you say) bigot into your house, allowing the bigot to bad-mouth you in your own home. I cannot see anything good ( ... )

Hi Master Dave, probably when I sent the friend-request last year, most likely it was at the time David's treatment of me was shameful to say the least. Things have mainly returned to 2011, which is a lot less stressful. Yes, David does have some serious downsides: he has too much pride and needs to know that being intelligent and booksmart doesn't mean much if you lack willpower ( ... )
