Perhaps common sense finally caught up with the folks behind the idea. I'm glad nothing happened, because that's for the best, even if it would have left me spoiling to let out some frustration at the idea that it was even proposed.
But that's just me. You know? In reality this was the best possible way.

So far so good -- no protesters showed up this morning. Have one more service to get through, so we'll see what happens -- if anything.
I had to laugh though, when the first hymn picked this morning coincidentally was "Sound the Battle Cry."
I had to laugh though, when the first hymn picked this morning coincidentally was "Sound the Battle Cry."
I have to ask--did the second service go as smoothly as the first?
Yes, the second church service went fine -- even better -- we had some visitors. (Not any of the wackos)
We did get an update as to what they have been up to, though -- they apparently spent several hours picketing in front of the grandmother's house. Now this is interesting, since she lives on a very rural back street -- and probably one car comes down the street every couple hours or so. My friend didn't even know they were there (with her air conditioning running) until a neighbor called her and told her there were a couple crazy women with signs standing by the road.
Then they went and picketed in front of the son's house (where a couple of days before he had called the police when they showed up wanting the kids) There they stopped traffic and told everybody that a drug dealer was living in the house -- LOL (can we say slander?) Um... the son called his lawyer, who wanted to check it out, and so he drove down the street. The wackos didn't recognize him, so they went through their entire spiel... to the lawyer. I'd like to see their face when they walk into court tomorrow.
Those who pray -- could you keep the court date tomorrow in prayer. It is likely to go well, since they are apparently seeing the same judge who originally gave the father custody. (The wacko made several anti-Semetic remarks in court last time, when she showed up unprepared -- the judge is Jewish) The hole keeps getting deeper. Neither of the kids want to go back to their mother -- they don't even want to see her. They feel used and abandoned -- probably because they were used and abandoned. They have some stability now.
But all went well -- they left us alone. I was imagining all kinds of interesting scenarios -- which is kind of good, because one of them will make a very funny scene in my book.

I'm happy it didn't turn into a "thing" here, though I'm sad they're harrassing the son and the mother-in-law. If you can get the lowdown on how this particular issue plays out in court tomorrow, I'd love to hear how their own stupidity comes to bite them in the butt.
Totally off-topic of dysfunctional exes and in-laws, I made a batch of chicken soup today that came out particularly well and I'm on my third bowl of it. rofl. I didn't have my little egg bows and had to use regular soup noodles. I also didn't have a head of cabbage--I love cabbage and put shredded cabbage in my chicken noodle soup. I also didn't have scallions and had to finely dice regular onions. Despite all that, it still turned out good. Yum!
You know, I am now addicted to the Psalm of the Wackos (as I'm now calling it). I hope you give us updates as to what happens in the court appearance. It would be really nice, you might even call it my happy thought, if I could imagine, just for a moment that for once - someone who really deserved it was the one getting shafted. Instead of, well, you know, me and all the dead people I know. (Who I'm thinking of calling The Putrid Posse. Too Morbid? Too soon? I can never tell.)

The Buffalo News article is a dead link for me--it says the page no longer exists. Maybe you can copy/paste? And that guy's picture--ew. He looks like your run of the mill sh-head. And his aliases are "sweet" and "tucan"? Can't even imagine where "sweet" comes from--he looks like anything but that. "Tucan"--what? After the bird? Who would be trying to let this guy in the gene pool? He's got a home invasion in there. I've seen this guy before. Now I remember. I was in the dictionary looking up the word "loser."

Just when you thought life was interesting enough --
Just got the heads up that a couple of wackos might be planning to stage a protest (think - picket lines) outside of our little rural country church.
Not over anything going on at the church -- but because one of our members sided with her son in a custody dispute.
I mean -- how could she do that? Side with her own son?
<sarcastic rant>
I mean, how could the courts take her babies away, after all, all their mother did was:
- drop them off at Dad's house saying, 'They're all yours.'
- drive to another state to marry a known felon she met over the internet.
- bring him back to NY in violation of his parole.
- expose the children to him -- in violation of a court order.
- pump the oldest child for information on when the father and his family left for work, kept their money, etc.
After all, it was her husband and not her who broke into the father's house, and, when surprised there, held the step-mother at knifepoint.
And now the 'poor lad' is in jail -- and she doesn't understand why the court order allows no visitation -- so they're picketing. The wacko and her mother.
They've picketed the father's house, and his mother's house, and now we hear they are probably going to be coming to church tomorrow. In our small community where everybody knows everybody else's business...
Happy, happy, joy, joy --
Hey Mandeville -- you have any of those people hunting permits left?

Great, sounds like this mother is another example of the gene pool needing some chlorine. I don't get how we can fight over people of the same sex getting a license to be married when it seems to make more sense to have people get a license before they can have children. I babysat the world's brattiest kid when I was 12 and knew then I wouldn't be a good parent...I think we should educate more people this way.

The Buffalo News now wants me to pay to retrieve the article out of their archives -- I have a portion of it here. ( I saved it in my journal since it contains a major grammatical error -- which made it kind of funny if it hadn't happened to people I know.)
From the May 25th issue of The Buffalo News:
"A parolee from Michigan broke into a home on Salt Road in Clarence about 1:30 p. m. Friday, then threatened a woman who returned home with a knife, State Police said. "
I think they, might just be charging for this because they're embarrased. I would be.

You scored 32...
You are ELMO
You are cute and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and seldom have your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are witty and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of backstabbers, and you are worry free.

How do you score a 30 in ten questions? I'm and Elmo and Murdoc. I always knew I'd end up being Murdock. When I was little I was always the Hannibal of the group but I have to admit it - the perscription meds dont lie. I am the big "m".
-M (Obviously)
P.S. - In my opinion the throat tatoo denotes someone who thinks themselves to be so completely removed from society that they're not bound by it's laws and customs. Anyone that removed then becomes clumsy and inarticulate in thier actions because they are so out of practice with dealing with reality. The images of television and the media then become the identified reality of the person. But things never go in real life as they would on TV and so in the pursuit of some badly written fast and furious victory - they end up dumped, face down in the societal soup with thier butts sticking up in the air. Believe me, this little clan of troublemakers, when they came in to this enterprise they were convinced - that they are SMART and not just smart but SMARTER than anyone else involved. And when it all falls apart, when they go to blame someone, it'll be the "Stupid judge's fault" or "Dumb@$$ So-and-so..." And everyone will be 'dumb' but them. I've run in to this sub-species from time to time myself. <shivers> It's like I can smell them from here.

Yeah, that old 'the hand slips down the blade and cuts you' is why I decided never to kill someone with a knife, and that gun powder residue is another reason I won't shoot anyone. I'm not going to club someone to death either, sweat leaves DNA on the weapon but if I ever have a reason to kill someone I'm going to TALK THEM TO DEATH!!!
With my luck they'll have a tape recorder with voice recognition and I'd still get caught. Poison? Naw, I couldn't stand to watch the person suffer...I know, I'll cook for them, yeah, that would do it.

You are sensitive and romantic. You work hard and dedicate a great deal of your life to helping others. You are a friendly person whose shyness sometimes gets mistaken for ignorance. You are liked by everyone who spends time with you but find it difficult to make new friends. In romance you sometimes need to be reminded and pushed in the right direction. You are very logical, this sometimes makes you look straight and boring but once people get to know you your intelligence and wit show through.
I think I will go and see if I can push him in a romantic direction.

Reposting the link for the quiz so people know what we're talking about:
http://www.savethegoldfish.co.uk/fun/muppet.php
I just retook it, putting in the answers that I think Monk would put. Some are easy to guess. Music? Classical, Occupation? Policeman - duh. I put favorite movie as musical, since he's sung songs from old musicals and made a positive comment about "The Music Man." But some were harder -- like what would Monk want to eat right now? I did my best. But Monk (at least from my understanding of him) ended up as a Beaker.
But Monk lovers, are apparently mostly all Elmos -- gotta' come up with an acronym.
E- everybody? elementary?
L- love? loves? lovers?
M- Monk
O- outstanding?
I got nothing... anybody else?
Elmos
Like
Monk,
Okay?

tottaly OT, but we're in a bar, right??
I was just working out upstairs ans watching Monk ( well, maybe this fits better in the Dale The Whale Fitness thread...), the Pilot, The Candidate.
Gee, isn't it GREAT?? I mean, we're in the 7th season already, too many things changed, but, really, that was a heck of episode!
So many things the writers drop to us, so many hints, so many differente interactions - it's weird but interesting to see Monk calling leland Sir - and so many other features I could be here writing about all afternoon!
The key scene! the Jealous Randy! Monk running from the car! the pin board! MOnk playing at trudy's grave! the sewer! The witty lines! ooh, God, just great!!
I guess the effect of the Pilot eppy on the fan is hugely more convincingly brilliant (!!!)if the fan rewatch it after getting into the series for over 7 years....
so, my friends, this round is mine! and Brazilian cashews for everybody!!!
PS. I am thinking in taking the quiz, but....it gives me the creep just imagining it could appear on the screen one of those terrifying little fun puppets.......

), the Pilot, The Candidate.Gee, isn't it GREAT?? I mean, we're in the 7th season already, too many things changed, but, really, that was a heck of episode!
So many things the writers drop to us, so many hints, so many differente interactions - it's weird but interesting to see Monk calling leland Sir - and so many other features I could be here writing about all afternoon!
The key scene! the Jealous Randy! Monk running from the car! the pin board! MOnk playing at trudy's grave! the sewer! The witty lines! ooh, God, just great!!
I guess the effect of the Pilot eppy on the fan is hugely more convincingly brilliant (!!!)if the fan rewatch it after getting into the series for over 7 years....
so, my friends, this round is mine! and Brazilian cashews for everybody!!!
PS. I am thinking in taking the quiz, but....it gives me the creep just imagining it could appear on the screen one of those terrifying little fun puppets.......
<winks>

Finally I made the test. There must be something wrong in it, because I am Elmo too! 30 points. I cannot be Elmo... I donīt feel like it...
But if all you are elmos, all who love Monk have been elmos, all right, it is right. I have to be elmo. Really weird.
At last, I am not different.

Awww... it had to happen sooner or later. The Elmo streak was getting a little strange.
Besides -- Ernie's pretty cool too.
He was the only one who could ever get away with singing the Rubber Duckie song on television -- and in the middle of the day on PBS no less.
I just took the Muppet quiz. It said I am Elmo.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Bflogal....
Haha. Took the Muppets quiz. Guess I'm the minority.
You are GONZO
You have a giant nose, a nose so big that some call it a deformity. You are a well balanced individual who enjoys a little bit of everything. Your varied lifestyle can sometimes cause dilemmas especially when your desire for a pleasant family life conflicts with your urge to party. You are constantly organising your time to ensure social events don't interfere with family time. You are a career person with goals and targets. Your goals often change as the wilder side of your personality tells you you're bored. You like stability and security but often worry that you are getting tied down. You are prone to making impulsive decisions that impact on your career and family life. As you age you find the focus of your life shifting from party animal to family builder.

...and I took the quiz.
I'm Beaker. Santo Deus, whatta ugly muppet! haha...
He seems a bit 'strange' too, not to say depressive, maniac, lunatic, boring, weird, 'cause the analysis did it already:
You are sensitive and romantic. You work hard and dedicate a great deal of your life to helping others. You are a friendly person whose shyness sometimes gets mistaken for ignorance. You are liked by everyone who spends time with you but find it difficult to make new friends. In romance you sometimes need to be reminded and pushed in the right direction. You are very logical, this sometimes makes you look straight and boring but once people get to know you your intelligence and wit show through.
you see? I do not like those strange puppets...

All us Elmoes, Elmi... Elmotomotons... All we Elmo Folk should start a club. But since I never want to be discriminatory unless I really, really mean it, maybe we could be a club that just throws parties for all the non-elmo folks.
I mean, lets face it, if we Elmoroians got together and just robbed museums or something it would sound weird, right?
Rubber Duckie - You're the one!,
-Mandeville

I did both quizzes with answers I figured hubby would give and he was GONZO and HANNIBAL.
No surprise to me with either one.
Meme
I also want to order a huuuuuuge martini or whiskey or anything strongly alcoholic. I've had a crap day, and this person who very rarely drinks needs a bunch of alcohol swirling in her veins.
Don't worry---I'll just go sit quietly in the corner and try not to get all violent and everything when I finally stand up and say I can't take much more of this bad news crap, God.
Meme
Oddly enough, for once in his miserable life, the bald-headed old fart isn't to blame. Pleeeeeese don't tell him I said that. I don't want him to get all happy, thinking I love him, or something like that.

Odd Couple II, with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon just came on FLIXe. I have to say it's going to be a good day....
Felix: I didn't complain about the food, did I? I didn't eat it, but I didn't complain about it.
Stewardess: You asked for the Hawaiian Mahi Mahi, and I told you that we only serve the Mahi Mahi on the west-east flights, not the east-west flights.
Felix: I just thought there might be one piece of Mahi Mahi making the return trip, that's all!
Felix: I haven't eaten since yesterday.
Oscar: Didn't they serve on the plane?
Felix: Aah! My fish was flying east.

I took the quiz again, and again I am Elmo. I'm kind of starting to resent that. I can be a real jerk when I feel like it. Really, I can! Can Elmo be a jerk? Can he?? I don't think so people!!
Meme: I hope you're having a better day today. If not, we can sit in the corner together and toast the virtues of apple martinis.

I think most of us who are Elmos have resented it to some extent. There are not many of us who are furry and red and speak with a high pitched voice (although I have never heard Mandeville speak
-- Just teasing -- it's the beard and the red shirt LOL)But you certainly cannot deny the popularity of Elmo.
Fox -- are you ticklish?
I admit, that the Muppets are a bit unknown for me, I have watched them some over thirty years ago, so I doīnīt remember them so well. I havenīt thought myself as a elmo-type. But I have reddish hair...
It would be cool to be Beaker.
Anyway it is nice to be in the gang. If Natalie is Elmo, it is fine for me.

Stay back!!
Actually I've been confused for Elmo before B-Gal so dont sweat it. I'm also occasionally confused with Lucifer as well, I'm not sure what it means but I hope it disturbed both Satan and Elmo immensely.
I had a really rough day. My pharmacy (Wal Mart) screwed up my perscription count and I had to go a full day without one of my meds. <sigh> It was very, very depressing. Especially since I was throwing a yard sale this morning and after two hours of light fluffy clouds and clear blue skies - I went in the house to get price tags and in something that seemed like 2 seconds, the clear blue sky opened up and doused everything.
Did I mention I specialize in current and vintage electronics? Yeah, well - tomorrow I get to re-test everything and see what I lost.
Anybody need a DVD plarer shaped door stop?
Yet another days adventure in pursuit of my property tax money - Someday they'll make a movie about it - You know, what "not to do". And they'll probably call me by the wrong name too.
<sigh>

Anyone feel like sharing a pitcher of Shirley Temples and just hanging out eating virtual cashews and having some fun?
Just took this quiz online:
Which muppet are you?
And this is what I got... not sure about a few of these -- anyone else want to try?
Which Muppet Character Are You?
You scored 32...
You are ELMO
You are cute and everyone loves you. You are a best friend that no one takes the chance of losing. You never hurt feelings and seldom have your own feelings hurt. Life is a breeze. You are witty and calm most of the time. Just keep clear of backstabbers, and you are worry free.

Yeah, we've had a couple of Gonzos now -- but don't sweat the nose thing -- we can barely see it behind the spidey mask.
Is that spandex?
Come on -- I'll buy you a Shirley Temple.
