When I was at ISU, everyone I met was Catholic, never met another Lutheran that I know of.
My mom's favorite mug, which her sister gave her...on the appropriate birthday...says "I'd rather be 40 than pregnant."
Accidents happen - you can make it work. I'm just glad that particular accident would have never happened to us.
I liked the idea that we were empty-nesters at 45...plenty young to start doing some of the things we'd always wanted to do. Some of my friends my age are just NOW becoming empty nesters.
Well hopefully MBB will have just got done taking the Hawks to the woodshed, that will make the holidays go easier.

I think they still have one in high school but close to being empty.
If all goes according to plan we could be empty nesters by the time we are 55.
You're right on the Eucharist. Basically (and GTO should correct me if I'm wrong), the Catholic church teaches the idea of transubstantiation (the Eucharist and wine literally become the body and blood of ******). So because we aren't purified, we shouldn't hold the Eucharist, but instead have the priest put it directly onto our tongues. I think this stopped being widespread in the U.S. after Vatican II (a series of reforms during the 60's) but I think is still common in other parts of the world.
Yeah, and Wisconsin will be good too, so hopefully that helps
Yeah, I think they'll be fine. Not final four quality, but better than Iowa. And that's really all that matters when it comes to the holidays
I don't want to make what I planned for tonight. Tempted to do the $5.99 Papa John's deal after a Cyclone win. Won't be able to take advantage of that much until bball season starts up again.
CG--my dad gets to do a "Coach for a Day" experience with the vball team. Participates in the team meal, coaches meeting, warm-up, etc. He asked the oldest 2 if they want to come along. He didn't ask me.
You're just not as special as a grandkid. :wink:

I'm that accident. I have a step sister who is 20 years older than I am, we've never really bonded because of the age gap (plus, she's crazy).
Got back from the Big Island and even got to squeeze in a little time at one of the black sand beaches.
