I think everyone should be required to pack up and move their stuff every 5 years. It's the best way to see how much useless s~@$ one has.
Edit: Nudity is optional.
Did that with cleaning out a storage container a few weeks ago. Of course, about half of it was deemed "useful." (Actually, I'm guilty of hoarding too. But when I said that a chair shouldn't be sent to the landfill/recycling centre just because it was missing a seat, I actually took the half-hour to fix it/make a new one. [Without duct tape!] Not what I've done when I've promised to fix plates and bowls and stuff.)

Maybe you needed to have a wardrobe malfunction.I love to tell this story. Sorry if anyone has already heard it.
My grandmother was a kind and friendly woman, and she was handicapped and had difficulty moving around. She was also Unitarian.
And my grandfather, he used to sing the witchdoctor song in church.
When JWs would come to the door my grandfather would invite them in to sit in the living room, where my grandmother was inevitably reading. And then, without saying a word, he would walk out the back door. Now my grandmother was kind and friendly, but the tongue lashing she'd give my grandfather for doing this were tremendous, even better though was that she was a highly intelligent escapee from Episcopalianism (they said her handicap was a punishment from God--she was a polio victim) and she knew how to dress down some JWs. Yes. Good times. Good times.
As a former Episcopalian(I married a Baptist and now we're apparently Presbyterian), I must apologize for the disgusting bigotry your grandmother encountered. I have had to leave individual Episcopal churches before for their attitudes towards certain things, but I have never encountered anything in my time in the church to imply that polio was a punishment from God for anything and I would have strong words with anyone who stated otherwise. A trial or burden, maybe- and that's a longshot, and that would be from life, not necessarily God. But a punishment? Not just no, Hell No.
And yes, I would have probably giggled at your grandpa singing the witch doctor song in church. And I was an acolyte.
I had a group of JW's come to my door a long time ago. Sat down and explained why I did not agree with quotes from the Bible in context. Invited them to church. One actually went the next Sunday. Never saw them again though and the Catholic Mass seemed to totally confuse him. Am I bad that this made me chuckle?
There was a gentleman who goes to church every Sunday and most other days as well. Always dresses very nice. Is in a wheelchair. I remember talking to him outside after church once about it. How he shows up every Sunday and how we have so many PAT Catholics who only show on Christmas and Easter. That maybe there was a lesson to be learned here. He said yes well he had spent years trying to learn it while he was stuck in the chair. I smiled and told him here I thought he was the one teaching. He being the one who made it to church, and seemed more devout then the choir.

I don't recall the OP of that thread saying anything like that and yet you have all these "high-minded" people making snide remarks about him and his beliefs. Some people need to grow up.

What beliefs did he even express? That some pictures were inappropriate for *his* kids? Sheesh. Somebody needs to take a board with a nail to that thread. Way to make a welcome wagon.

I'd agree more if his kids showed up at home sneaking that stuff into the house. However, he's the one who is buying it and wants to bring his kids and family into something that he feels has too much cheesecake-y content. I also think the situation would be different if he didn't want his wife and kids to play this game and felt he had to hide the books around the house or something- there's an OLD Dragon Magazine letter to the editor to that effect. I think his situation is more than bit weird, but then again, I don't have kids.

Morning, all. What did I miss?
Well, Curtis and Danielle continued to argue over which art school their son Alex would attend, never knowing that Alex had bypassed both of them and decided to study the fine art of being guide in the Himilayas under an ancient sherpa mentor. Meanwhile, Bill's plans for a hostile take-over of Mark's company were thwarted by a timely intervention from Bill's ex-wife, Peggy, with some rather embarassing information about his personl hygiene habits. And, across town, Jeremy was shocked to learn his boyhood pet Sparky had not really run away, but had in fact....No, wait! That's my soap opera.

He loves the game and wants to share it with his family but has reservations about the art. How is that weird?

Officially 101. It's 75-79.5 in my house with the A/C bravely blowing, depending on where in the house one is. I'm suppressing the urge to go au naturale.

I dunno. Something in the way the protestation was put forth. It's hard for me to put into words.
