Snow Day!

Another Saturday. And at 7 a.m. my sister who lives here called to ask me if I knew the snow was over the tops of her boots. I was so annoyed. I never get to sleep in! People do this all the time. I'm going to turn off my phone next to my bed. I never get to sleep in for any reason no matter what day it is. I leave the phone on by the bed for emergencies but it isn't ever an emergency.

We can't get out so glad I went an stocked up on some things. I'm going now to make chili and eat. I'll pop in later. We've now taken some photos and will post them after while.

The End of the Day

The day is winding down and I'm stopping in to say thank you to everyone for all the notes, emails, the comments, and blogs on my behalf. Thank you for the prayers. I've checked in a few times and each time was greeted by a special contact.

I've had family with me all day. My sister, my aunt & uncle and my granddaughter. I took flowers to the cemetery but it was bitter cold and the day was gray. We didn't linger. I still can't stand the sight of Jerry's name carved into that stone even now. I carried yellow silk roses. Yellow is for remembrance. I remembered that when I was looking for something to take.

It is snowing now, a steady fall of small flakes. It looks soft and lite.

Sarah was here most of the afternoon and entertained all of us to the point of exhaustion. She went home after it started to snow. We now have several inches and it is 19 degrees!

Now, to bed. Thank you all for being with me today!

Home at Last!

I'm home! My aunt and uncle will be here any minute. My boss did not request I come in tomorrow. I went to him and asked that he please not make me to come in tomorrow. He smiled and said "I'm not going to make you!" I was so relieved. The day has gone pretty roughly for all of us. One error after another that is software related and these people are never available for training!

Anyway, I'm off tomorrow. I did say if there was a disaster that simply couldn't be resolved without me he knew how to reach me. I know, I know! But I in fairness, he has been so good to me this past year. Many times when things got bad he sent me home and didn't dock my pay. I can't complain about it. I do think people don't understand what tomorrow is for me. People are just that way. My friend Carolyn seemed to be the only one who really got it. And a few of the other women I work with who recognized how stressed I've been this week.

Anyway, I'm going to be scarce. I'll have my granddaughter all day if I want her. I'm excited about that. She's just such a joy and lifts my spirits when she is around. So that will help.

I'm going off for now. Just want my feet up. I think they just pulled up.

Thank you all for you prayers. Keep me in them this weekend. Seems so silly to be this stressed over a day. But I can't help it.

Wrong Day

I may have to work tomorrow! I reminded my boss I was off and he said he didn't know if he could let me off. There is nothing I can do for this stupid conversion. Everything is behind. Nothing works right. And I do not want to be here. I'm already feeling down and I just want that day away from this place. I had planned to go to the cemetery and take flowers. It will be dark when I get off.

I worked 4 hours three weeks ago and this was to be my day to compensate me. I'm so frustrated I can't even think. Story of my life.



My Friday

Today is My Friday... It's Thursday and when I get off at 5 today I don't have to go back until Monday. And I'm not feeling well this morning.

I didn't go to the Y last night but stayed home. I watched a couple of shows, one on my living room sofa! Did some surfing at the desk but found my back simply would not stand that. Finally, I went to bed and chatted online with Kat a bit. Then, when I turned out the light, I listened to more of the Graveyard Book. It was a particularly long chapter as it turns out, over an hour! I found myself dozing off with about 15-20 minutes left and not wanting to miss any of it or knock my laptop out of bed, I tuned everything off, put all away and tuned out the light. I lay flat and was asleep almost immediately.

This morning, my back feels a bit better. I'm certain the pain is a result of sitting at my desk so much this week. I'm usually like a jack in the box but not this week. I've not had time for anything but data review and that requires sitting, leaned over your desk and looking from the computer to the paper. Horrendous for your entire back. Since I have back problems at times anyway, it is no wonder I'm having pain.

Today, I'll try to get up more but it isn't promising. Now, must run. I've got to get breakfast along the way. I'm still tired. My aunt and uncle should be here this evening sometime. Pray for good traveling weather for them. It is a long trip and this time of year is not predictable.

Oh My Aching.....

Just got in from work and am relaxing on my sofa in the living room. So nice to be unfettered by the desk. It is a bit chilly in here but I have a snuggly if it gets too cool.

I am supposed to go to the Y tonight but my lower back is really killing me. I think it is because I have spent the last several days tied to my desk at work and not getting up and down as much. I've had this kind of flare up before when we had intensive data entry. It is not good for me.Sciatica flares up if I'm not careful. My leg is already feeling a bit of burn down one side.

I'm so tired I really just want to get a hot shower and relax. Of course the pool is warm but not a whole lot. So, still not sure what I'm going to do.

I'm going now and decided what I will do. Maybe if I just lie down for a bit it will stop hurting. Don't know if I'll be back this evening. Depends on how many aches I have by the time I'm done. LOL.

Hump Day Blues

If the early bird gets the worm what does the late bird get? TO SLEEP IN! And I'm just fine with that. That's why they made McDonald's, so you wouldn't have to grubbing for worms.

Yes folks, it is Wednesday. We're half way TO the weekend or we're half way from the weekend. Whatever you choose. It is freezing wherever you are.

I'm on my way out. Supposed to to go the Y tonight but I truly and honestly need to go to bed early. I watched a couple of shows last night from my bed. LOL, and I listened to another chapter of The Graveyard Book. This is a really good book. I'd say adolescence's book but still listening to the author, Neil Gaiman read it, is just wonderful. Lovely British accent and he does the voices really well. If you haven't read this or heard it, you should visit. I listen to a chapter here and there. Listening to two chapters is why I'm tired. I could get the book from the library and read it but as I said, his voice is just made for reading aloud. I suspect he is a very funny man. Here is the link. The Graveyard Book

Simon is quiet, by the way. I've been getting small flashes of stuff but I really need to get on and brainstorm with Kat. It helps tremendously. I think the back story is complete and now I need to move forward.

So, off to work now. I have physical therapy this afternoon. I don't like the person I got on Monday and I will probably have her all week. Next week I shall schedule early again. Just easier that way.

From My Bed to Your Head

Yipee! Dave got the router going and guess what? I'm writing this from my bed! Yes, I am.

Now, I have a back ache. LOL! I"ll be looking for ways to arrange my pillows for maximal comfort. But, I was able to also watch Castle online ... sitting in bed. Ah, I'm content now. I can leave the study once in awhile.

I probably won't sit up so late now either because I can relax and watch movies if I want instead of sitting in a desk chair.

Ok, enough about my laziness.

I'm tired tonight and have to go to bed soon. Actually, I'm feeling better today. But then, we had sun today. When I got to work, I parked facing the sun... well, I do every day but you can't usually see it! Anyway, I sat there with my eyes closed and let it soak into my face for a few minutes. It was so lovely. I am praying for sunshine through Monday. You might toss in your prayers with me.

I'm going now. I should consider turning out the light.

Snow Dust

If Monday dawned darkly, Tuesday has dawned white. I awoke to a layer of snow on the ground and it is bitter cold, 26 degrees. The mercury dropped like lead yesterday and has pushed farther today. It is a biting cold that pinches your extremities.

Went to the Y last night and am a bit sore in some places but not as sore as I usually am from the other things! I was exhausted last night but still got to bed late. I am not so depressed this minutes and if we could get some sun it might help. I do not have much hope there.

Back to work today to try to learn to use this software. We are getting so backed up and it is so overwhelming. I have all these people coming at me for software questions and I can't answer them. LOL, kind of nice to say you'll have to do what I am doing... learn it as you go. They won't. There are about three of us that will be experts in a year but the rest will rely on those three.

I've asked the kids to come over tonight for pizza so I can see Sarah and so Dave can help me connect my router. I really want to be able to sit in bed and surf the internet or sit in the living room. I love my study but I am staying in this room every minute when I am here either watching television or writing or web surfing. If I can vary that a bit it would be nice.

I have not been able to write the last few nights other than getting the back story down for Simon. That fictional fellow has become much quieter since I began to fill in the background. But I want to go back to the story itself. Kat was asking me last night but I seem to be at a . . . well, call it a pause. I had to clarify somethings in my head.

Anyway, headed for work today. Must leave a bit earlier because of the roads. These folks do NOT know how to drive in this and they tend to be reckless. Snow plows? LOL, the city may have two of them. I've never seen them down here and the few times I've seen any on the road they weren't plowing. It isn't that deep, I don't think. The grass, dead though it is, is visible. But I suspect it isn't going anywhere as long at it is this cold. High is expected to be near 30 today.... brrrrrrr!

Toodle Loo!

Into the Dark

Monday dawns darkly. Very phonetic and so true it hurts your eyes. I can't see a way out of this. I've had brief snatches of diversion over the weekend, thank you Doug and Sharon for Sunday afternoon. You've no idea how very much it helped. And Mike for Saturday. And Sarah got in touch with me last night to check on me. Kat chatted with me a bit, too. All people who have given me so much support. All I can do for them is pray God's blessings on them. My thanks is inadequate but sincere.

But at this point it feels very much like a free-fall. Praying doesn't actually help much. Probably not God's fault.

All very a pretty way to I'm in a pit from which I can't get out. I try and think positive. It will pass. It will get better. All those things that Job's comforters said. I don't actually believe it. I feel absolutely sick right down into my soul. And I'm just tired, not so much physically tired but the kind of tired that caves in on you and pushes you into the floor. I don't know how to explain it. Atlas beneath the world. Bigfoot on your back. Mountains falling on you.

But I have to go out into the dark.

So, I'm dressed for work and the clicking of my keyboard are the only sounds in the house. Darkness swallows up everything else.

Five Blinking O'Clock!?

What is THAT about? I woke up. I do not know what woke me. But I woke up. I'm sitting here at seven a.m. getting the directions to Doug's house before I start to get ready for church. I've been working on the back story for Simon since probably 5:30 or 6! My neck doesn't like any of this.

I did try and go back to sleep but it just didn't work. I went to bed probably around 11:30. Can't really remember. I know that at 10:33 p.m. I copied a file to my laptop. I had taken it to bed with me to try and work on these notes but got so sleepy I finally had to stop. And that was probably around 11:30. I'm pretty sure I went to sleep very quickly. I don't have trouble normally falling asleep once I lie down. Just sleeping well and staying that way.

Anyway, I'm going to go in a short while and get my dress on and get this mop of hair up.

Really this is just beyond me. Do you have any idea how very tired I'll be by 6 p.m.?

Mike and I went to lunch yesterday around 12:30 and then to Wal-mart. I had not done any really heavy work that morning. I had simply paid bills and read a bit. During our shopping trip I suddenly felt terrible. I was so tired all of the sudden and I was dizzy. I have no idea why. It came on slowly... I think the dizziness first. I finally had to tell Mike that I had to go home. I just felt so exhausted and unwell. We got the stuff in and sat around for about an hour and watched HULU and then, I took him home and came home myself and got a hot shower. I didn't do anything but read and watch television. Kat came on line at some point, back from her trip. We chatted a bit and then I went to bed.

Still don't know what came over me. It wasn't pleasant but I know if I had been able to lie down I would have gone straight to sleep. I do not know if it may have been something related to the fibromyalgia or something else entirely.

Ok,enough of this. I have to get back to my writing. Hope you all have a good Sunday. They aren't usually very good for me.

Come Fly With Me!

I booked my flight this morning for Florida in April. I am so excited! I will visit my sister Stuck in the Middle for a couple of days. She will get me to Mobile to board for the cruise. I'll be cruising the Gulf of Mexico to Cozumel and the Yucatan for 5 days and then back to Mobile where Stuck will again pick me up and we'll have a couple more days. Then, I'll fly back here. So, two vacations. My sister and I have a good time when we get to be together. I've told her next cruise will be a three sisters cruise.

I got a flight booked right out of my city so I won't have to drive the 2 hours to Louisville. Originally planned it that way but when I saw the price from Louisville it wasn't that much cheaper and a whole lot less convenient. Joy joy for that bit!

Dad called this week to say he had booked us a tour to the Chichen Itza... I believe that is probably right. He actually said he booked a tour for something that sounded like Chickens. LOL, and I guess it does. I studied Latin American Studies for two semesters and Spanish for two years where you also study the history and culture of this area. So I am quite familiar with the geographical area and history. I'm looking forward to having one dream come true. I wanted to go to this area when I was studying it and had hoped take a trip there someday. So you know I'm more than excited!

I've sat here this morning paying bills and arranging flight plans and now I want to get out and find food. I'm probably going to get Mike. He said, "Mom, I'd like to spend time with you today." Which translates, "can we do lunch on your dime?" LOL, I don't mind. He's good company sometimes and when I need him he's there.

I'm going to my friend, Doug's, on Sunday for lunch and to meet his wife and family. I'm looking forward to that. But I've got to get some notes together. I want to also talk to him about Simon. Doug is really good as a sounding board and has given me some good ideas to work with in the past. We love to talk writing.

So, now I'm doing another type of flying. I've got to dress and clean up a bit and then, hit the road. Back later to do some writing. Kat is traveling today to take her daughter back to college so probably won't be talking to her for maybe a day or so. She has a 10 hour drive round trip and she's going to be exhausted. We batted around some ideas last night and I related a bit about Simon's past that "he just told me". LOL, but it was helpful.

Gone for now!

Where's My Worm?

Went to bed around 10:30 but couldn't sleep. Got up made a video that may or may not see daylight. Talked about Simon! Talked about work! Both probably NOT what anyone is interested in. At least Simon is fun.

I'm on my way to PT again. Last one this week. This getting up early IS for the birds! I hate it. Bad enough I have to get up and go to work but to add something to that time is just terrible. I'm tired enough when I get home. I will be taking PT next week in my lunch time or break time if I can. Night is my only time to really sit down and relax. Sometimes it is good; sometimes it is bad. But when I am this tired, it is horrible.

Now, I'm off to find the worm. Nasty old thing. Probably in my office hiding in a computer somewhere!

All Over the World

I was looking at the Accuweather map on my Google home page and the whole country is again covered in clouds. So is Great Britain, Russia and China! South America also has a lot of cloud cover. I don't believe that the whole world is wreathed in heavy cloud cover. What a winter.

But it is warmer...

I stared this blog early this morning and it is still cloudy all over. Rain here all day yesterday, last night, today and tonight.

I'm having a bit of a melt down this evening. Started as I came by the cemetery. Doesn't help that I am simply wiped out. Exhaustion always brings that to the surface. Next week it D-day. My aunt and uncle are coming if the weather permits. If not, Sarah and Kathy from the writer's group say they are my back up plan. I will certainly take them up on it. I'm already feeling the dread.

I met with the Writer's group last night and that was fun but I could see we were all dead on our feet. We laughed and had a good time as we always do but there were these moments when everyone seemed to get quiet. I watch faces and I could see it on each of them. I could feel it on mine. They are such a good group of friends. I'm glad I have them.

Doug arrived early because he works here in town not far from where I live but lives in a neighboring town. So, after he gets off work he either has to stay at work until time for the meeting or find a place to go. He decided to come by early. A couple of the girls have done that once in a while. And I certainly don't mind. Anyway, I answered the door thinking it is one of the kids. I am fully dressed but my hair is in a towel. I screamed and he laughed at me and ask if he should leave and come back later. Of course, I didn't make him do that. And I laughed... while turning beet red. And why! You all know I have no shame about my appearance... I posted those hideous videos of me in curlers and me sick. LOL! Somehow it is a bit different when someone knocks on the door and sees you with a towel wrapped around your head.

So, note to self.... don't wash hair until after the meeting! LOL. The nice thing was that we got to sit and talk about Simon and the story. I got feedback on it. Doug is very good at that sort of thing. And I don't suppose it terrified him too terribly to see me at nearly my worst. Don't know if I mentioned it but he and his wife had invited me to dinner on Sunday. I shall get to meet the mysterious Mrs. Doug and the clan of four.

I'm off now. I'm absolutely exhausted. I noticed just now that the clouds are clearing a bit over the US. Maybe we can have some sunshine for the weekend!

Wednesday's Child

It's raining, it's pouring, the old man is snoring.... as all civilized people should be. I'm on my way out to work and it is pouring rain. Finally, a night without a fictional character demanding I listen to what he has to say! After I wrote the last scene it seems he's gone all silent. Probably cleaning up that kitchen..... LOL

I have a new scene started already but will wait for Kat's input. We sort of his a wall... planning next stage. We've got to get to a showdown for these characters if we're to proceed.

Both of us have writer's meetings tonight so I will have a bit of time to think about something other than Simon's demands. I'm guessing the kitchen will keep him busy until Thursday night. By then, we both hope to have woven some sort of coherent thread.

I'm off to work now. Move briefing is my presentation this morning. I AM going to put this on a cd. I figured out a final step in that process a couple of weeks ago and I think I'll work on it again. None of us likes giving the presentation... well, I don't mind but I need a break once in awhile.

Hope you all have a good wet Wednesday. Wherever you are!

Who Is Simon?

Got lots of input on this question today. Cass sent me the name of a person, Kim Philby - big spy guy. As I was listening to a video with Charlie Rose about this guy, I looked over at the side. Went {GASP} I didn't recognize his name, but I knew his face! That was Simon! So, if you want a face to put on Simon, this is as close as it gets. Although Simon's hair is darker and he has sapphire blue, wonderful blue eyes.

Who Simon Resembles

After I researched a bit I realized I have seen him in one movie. Die Another Day... but another Brit in that movie had my eye. Who knew....


So, I'm Working, Right?

You betcha!

And Simon is sitting behind me chatting away. And incidentally, Cass, I think you are right... British. How'd that happen? And who's going to tell me what colloquialism I need to be using. Jilly? Cass? Wendy?

He's well educated... but his accent is only slight...in his job he has to lose it at times. Maybe why I didn't notice it before.

But he's sitting behind me, telling me his story. I'm going crazy cause I really want to leave work and go somewhere and talk to him. He's very interesting. More interesting than this software crap. I just wish he'd stop until I get home so I can be sure I get it all down on paper. I mean, I may forget some of it! And I do NOT want to listen to it again! The man is quite full of himself.

I've got several complements on the story and I think it is just going right to his head. Haven't talked to Kat about her character. A few weeks ago he was talking her head off, too. Note to self.... ask Kat how she got that under control.

Ok, back to the real job. This is how the chat logs Kat and I have been doing go. Wasn't that fun?

Simon... take a hike for about four hours. Then, we'll talk.

So, I'm Sleeping, Right?

I went to bed around midnight. No big deal, really. You know it isn't uncommon for me if you've read, say a dozen of the blogs. I went to church both yesterday morning and last night with a writing spree between. Riete termed it that and it is a very apt term. I've been on a writing spree for weeks now, thanks to . . . well, at first it was Kat. Now, I'm not sure.

For several days, Simon has been in my head.... usually AFTER I go to bed. For the last, oh, two or three nights, as I doze off to sleep he's over here somewhere nattering away. Simon tells me all this stuff. Next morning, I have to jot it down and talk to Kat.

So, last night, I'm sleeping, right? Actually, I lay down and was thinking about the last discussion Kat and I had and I closed my eyes and could feel myself dozing off and Simon said, "You have to write this down. You'll forget it."

I said, "It's one a.m., Simon. I'm in bed. I'm just about to sleep."

He said, "You don't have to work in the morning. You'll be fine."

I lay there a minute, thinking. I CAN remember this.

"No, you won't."

I sat up and tossed back my warm electric blanket. "This is crazy!"

"Take you less than five minutes."

I plod across the hall and turn the computer back on. I wait for Windows to check a thousand switches. Finally, I am able to type an email to Kat hoping that Steph gets it before she writes her next post. The next bit is her's and the information I have is crucial because it is part of what happens.

"There you go. No big deal."

"What if Steph doesn't get it?"

"You'll figure it out."

I consider leaving the computer on. . . just in case. Decided the glow will keep me away and that it isn't going to happen and turn it off. I plod back across the hall, Simon tagging along.

"I'll help you."

"Oh, that's not gonna happen," I said. "I'm going to bed."

He laughs. "Sweet dreams."

Simon is dark. He's the guy everyone loves to hate. I actually like him. . . a lot. I understand him. When you've walked in dark places, the way Simon has, it changes you forever. Not necessarily in a good way but not in all bad ways either.

Sharing a story with someone is very hard. Kat's character - Serge - is a strong character. I termed them the white knight and the dark knight. Seems to fit. Neither is perfect. That's hard, too. Kat can weigh in on her perspective of all this if she likes. We've discussed it, ad nauseam.

But it is hard when you share a story, when you both have to put a part of it in. You have to compromise, give way to the other writer at times, even if you think you're version is better. We sit for hours, unaware of the time a lot, and play a sort of what if game. Serge says/Simon says. We examine and a refine and decide what works for both of us... not for Simon and Serge. If they had their way, they'd both be supermen.

Demanding characters, I've discovered, don't like to give way. Characters have no moral compass so they can get pretty nasty about being relegated to minor or what they consider inferior roles. At least, Simon does. As I said, he's dark and his desire it to hurt those who've hurt him. So, I think it is up to Kat and I to keep the peace, to sort it out and put it all together in a way that makes a good story. As I said, it is hard. I suspect she'll say the same.

Ok, Simon is telling me that I have to get off the blog and listen to him. Actually, there are dishes to wash, a bed to make, and I have to pay bills.

"Hey! Where are you going?" I called to his retreating back.

"I have some things to take care of. Lilac wants to talk to me. Back around bedtime." he calls over his shoulder with a wave.

Sheesh! Do you believe that?

A Sunday.... with Nuts

I'm up and at 'em. Mike called me the moment my clock went off. It was hard to get up but I can't say I'm having a lot of pain at the moment. In fact, pain has not been a major issue except in my arm in the last week. At least, I don't think so. I've been too busy to notice much. And this arm is amazingly better. The miracles of modern medicine!

I did notice that going to the water exercise class helps. I'm not as achy the next day. But the last two weeks were so hectic I don't remember much about them! I may have to read my blog to find out what went on!

Yesterday was spent sitting in a chair and writing. I got up at 10:30 and started and broke only a few times to eat, pick up Mike so he could do laundry, and then take him home. I watched a few television shows and then went back to it.

Speaking of Mike, I may have mentioned at some point that Mike is totally deaf in one ear and doesn't hear well out of the other ear. There is no fix for the deaf ear- nerve deafness. His other ear on a good day is not good and right now he has fluid behind it. The television has to be at a deafening level for him to hear it. most days anyway. So, before he came over I went to CVS pharmacy and bought this $15 Bell & Howell amplifier for him to use. Have you ever given someone a gift of hearing? There is no way to describe their face. He walked to the end of the hall and said, "Wow, Mom! I can hear you down here without you yelling." He sat and watch television at a normal level and I was not a nervous wreck when he left. The batteries are only good for 14 hours of listening so I don't know how much he will use it. He watches t.v. all the time. But I'm probably going to have to get him to an audiologist to do something.

My aunt had called and suggested Jerry's hearing aids and I had forgotten them. Before he died he had one replaced and they were going to replace the other. So I dug them out. The one Mike needs is the broken one but it would have fit perfectly. I can't afford to get aids like that one. Those are $6000 hearing aids the VA provided for him. Even one would be prohibitive. If he lost it I'd probably freak out. So, we have to find another way.

I looked around the house and realized I haven't put laundry away... in over a week. I told you, I was working. Last Sunday was the only day I didn't work and I felt miserable that day. And the rest of the week, well last Monday set the tone as my wedding anniversary rolled in. So, I have to get this mess sorted before Tuesday!

Writer's Meeting is Wednesday night. Doug is supposed to have something ready but I don't know if he will. His schedule seems to have been keeping him overloaded, too. Unless you are someone like John Grisham ... you don't get much writing time.

I'm off to Sunday School. I had hoped I could take Sarah this morning but as per usual, no answer. My day might have been a brighter day.

My depression always lifts with intense writing so I'm not so black today. I'm sure everyone will appreciate that! But I miss taking Sarah to church so much and it always brings sad memories of Jerry weeping over not being able to take her to church. And those things simply can't be borne.

I shall be around this afternoon on the computer so I may pop in. But email always notifies me and so do my messengers. I must not want to lose touch... I have gmail chat, yahoo chat, Windows live chat, and I could turn on the Multiply chat. I turned it off because it kept popping up when people logged in. If it just stayed until someone wanted to talk it would be fine. May try it again to see if it has been improved.

Have a good morning or afternoon, depending on your geography!

Political Commentary from the Right!

Ok, I absolutely love Ray Stevens. Always have. My husband and I had recordings of his songs. We would laugh for hours at his stories set to music. There is one in particular that makes fun of Pentecostals... we laughed at that one too.. we're Pentecostal.

This just came across my email. I laughed and laughed, particularly the Pelosi part. But it is a conservative political statement. Having seen parts of the glorious medical plan and the corrupt methods being used to pass it, it is one I share. Unfortunately, anything you have use bribery to get, can't be good or legal.

So, if you are easily offended at political commentary, DON'T LOOK ETHEL! The one that follows his should please both sides. But there are some curse words in it so it will probably offend we religious types!


See, I've covered everyone!
