Being *civil is nice. i soulnd't have a done like the elderly lady,

Regionally, again, making a loud display in public gets the perp
church brownie points and (unless one doesn't give a damn) gives
embarrassing righteous correction to the transgressor.

I just kept my mouth shut. There are some worthwhile passages in the
Bible... "Go from the presence of a foolish [wo]man, when thou
perceivest not in h[er] the lips of knowledge." Proverbs 14:7

Just show up and eat and enjoy!

Is inadequate. *One must be assimilated into the body..... resistance
is futile. (show up or I'll yell louder.....)


LOL!

Not with me. but I know what you mean, I've seen it before. But
anyhow...

here's one of my favorites. "Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbour's
house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee." (Prov. 25:17

hey I'm going to take advantage of USNET.

Gene, I know it's a bit far for you but, after services this Sunday we
are having our congregations Christmas dinner. You and yours are
welcome to come eat with us. Stay as long as you want and leave when
you like. Just that simple.

Hey! Same goes for anybody else.

And I promise, this year I won't be handing out snakes like last year!
