Finally, this thread is born. Here goes! ;)b
Natural products which advertise their freedom from bad things as a feature, but they're so obvious it's ridiculous. For instance, "caffiene free" peppermint tea, or "cholesterol free" dried apricots. O RLY?! ;D
What made you LOL today?
Like Karen said with a posh accent.
The car in way? Or the at way? :)
hah, the real way. the car in way.

'cept it begins with an S.

New RTLOL:
I can't believe this. Guy butters 2 slices of bread, puts cookies on one slice, and covers it up. Eats it. A cookie sandwich.
Seriously--I almost dropped my teeth.

You cats crack me up!!
I got an email from a parent who is interested in having her grandson take my art class. Here it is:
Please don't find offence to the question I must ask you. Due to my relationship with God not religion, are you a Pagan? If you are then it's your right and personal. Therfore, what ever the answer it won't be dicussed.
Blessings,
Anita
I then replied with this:
What ever was it that caused you to draw that conclusion?
And she replied:
Someone knows I really want "bobby" to take art with you. So I was told you were. I am the type of person
not to listen to hear say or gossip, so if it effects me or my gchildren then I am going to the source. So I had to ask you. Again, I hope this doesn't offend you, but I need to know.
And I replied with this:
To be honest, I really don't even know what a pagan is exactly, or what that would entail, so I can assure you that I am not a pagan.
I am however, VEGAN, which means that for health and spiritual reasons, I do not consume animal products such as meat, milk, or eggs. Maybe that is where the confusion came in. Does this person know me, or do I know this person?
In any case, I do not discuss my personal beliefs about religion or diet (or any other personal business for that matter) with the children.
I truly do think that in game of real life "telephone"...vegan got turned into pagan. LOL!!! Her emails remind me of the veg web spammers on here! I have met her in person, but only twice.
I can't wait to hear her response.
:)
OMG L2A, this type of thing presses lots of my buttons. So many angles to play, I am not sure what I would have done. I like your response: respectful, clear, dignified, professional. I possibly would have slipped in a final paragraph of "I have heard of certain cult-ish religions that have pagan rituals wherein they symbolically eat the body and drink the blood of humans. I do not have anything to do with any of that either, although it seems to be very common in our society." <--- Of course she would probably not get the point.
Regardless of what her religion, she sure clumsily makes a mess of hypocrisy for herself:
"I must ask it" Um, or what? You will go to hell because that is what your cult believes and it is a sin to not stick your nose into others' spiritual path??
"I am not the type to listen to gossip...." Um....YES YOU ARE, THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SENDING THIS ASININE EMAIL!
"So I go straight to the source": BY ASKING INAPPROPRIATE, HOLIER THAN THOU QUESTIONS DRIPPING WITH ARROGANCE IN EMAIL clearly indicating you are sitting self-appointed in judgement of others - pagan, vegan or otherwise. How dare her!
If you are not hurting for students you could always have said, "I don't like to say, but I do derive a lot of my skills from, shalll we say, "darker forces," but I do not say anything to the children, unless they are interested and stay late after class on nights when the 4th realm of the circle of inner darkness is strongest*." <-- the previously alluded to cult always freaks out on stuff like this. But they may send several (they travel in packs) to visit and "bring you into the fold" so fore warned. Idiots!
Kudos again for handling it so well! I would have put it in "Grinds my gears." You are clearly the bigger person between us for being able to laugh about it.
* I have no idea what any of that description is, I watch too many horror movies I guess.
ETA: if I have her suspected cult-ish "relationship with God" correct, she may even deserve a good dose of details about all the millennia of paganism packed into HER religion That is all for now, though I will probably be ETAing this for days.
Haha!!
ALL of that made me LOL! CFF!
ANd yes, I did have some thoughts about telling her that I was actually a witch, or some other crazy thing...I also wondered if she read my bumper sticker wrong (VEgan vs PAgan)?
This is where my lack of religious knowledge comes into play. I seriously don't know anything about paganism or any other religion for that matter.
Is Agnostic or Athiest "worse" than paganism? I have no idea!!!
I AM thinking that her kid just might not get a spot in my program.....although, maybe I could save him!!! ;)
Buy that woman a dictionary...and a highlighter.
l2a that's pretty hilarious!
