"That girl is a monster..."

Hi all;

Gosh, it's been a while since I've been here. Life has been strange the past couple of weeks, as I've got back from Wonderful Holiday and everything is a bit messy, but a couple of really awesome things have happened which I wanted to babble about. So, y'know, excuse that. Under the cut(s) so it doesn't take up all the space.

Equal Marriage... )

Still cannot understand why people have such an issue with gay marriage and I am an old-fashioned, no longer young, married, Christian.
TBH, the argument that puzzles me most is that it would have a negative effect on the institution of marriage. Unlike, of course, all those divorces, affairs, so called starter marriages, abusive relationships etc.
My marriage only affects my immediate family and is only affected by them. I really cannot see how someone else making a commitment to the person they love can be a bad thing.
As I also cannot see how any institution can say to half the population, 'we can offer you a job, but, regardless of whether you meet the standard for promotion, you will not get it and we will actively promote less able candidates over you', I have decided that I no longer wish to be part of the Church of England. I have not been able to go recently, due to health issues, but our daughters have been attending the Methodist church locally, which is very welcoming and they have been very understanding.
So, well done Scotland.
Glad you have sorted out your housing. It must have been very unsettling. Makes me remember to be thankful for the roof over our heads, even if there are too many stairs and this week I have been effectively marooned on the middle floor. But, the room next to our bedroom has been painted, has new flooring and the furniture moved so that it is now a sitting room for when I cannot go downstairs. I ate and watched TV in there yesterday evening and it was so nice to see different coloured walls ( also a beautiful colour as it was totally my choice, no having to allow for others' tastes!).
