Woo-hoo! Sounds good. I was going to offer to sign on to Yahoo or AIM to chat a bit but I think I'll let spider88 help you with that phone thing. My cats have been nagging me to go to bed for the last two hours.
We had a very fun giggly, goofy, and somewhat morbid (those things do too go together) phone conversation. Now I'm yawning. All these are good things. I'm off to attempt sleep.
On days like that I figure if I've gotten through it without bothering anyone else, I've done well. :-)
It's a shame they don't make comic books/graphic novels in a special size, to be tucked into the pages of one's Bible, you know? Then again the usual "reading Bible is church" posture has the book flat on one's lap, so that probably wouldn't fly.
Oh I know! Novels printed in special two-column format! Or really anything interesting... copy from online, paste into a word processing program, format so it's the same size, shape, font, and column width as the Bible you carry, print it out and tuck the pages into the front of back of your Bible for emergency use! :-D
it was pretty bad today 'cuz my boss, who is usually glued to sermons, was yawning and leaning her head on the side of the pew like she wouldn't last for 5 more minutes.
another idea you should patent!!!!! damn woman, you could be rich in like 5 days with all of these ideas! i'd buy a novel bible! ;)
LOL... nah, buying it would defeat the purpose! What you need is a way to have new material, previously unread, tucked into the front of back of your Bible, with the endpapers, so you've got the same Bible you use in Sunday School or wherever you really are reading it... but can slip some of these double-sided printed pages out of the front/back and into the center, where you're pretending to read from. At that point someone would have to look really hard to know what you're reading, right?
It could probably be done with a web application, sort of like the "webpage translator" things. Just enter a URL and select which version of the Bible (or other holy text) and it pulls in the text of the page and formats it to match what you carry to church. Doing it for non-English holy texts would be problematic unless the source URL were written in the same language as the holy text in question. Snickering at errors of translation during worship services would call attention to oneself. ;-)
Oh, goodie! I'm glad I worked up the nerve to ask!
Am starting to get adjusted to my new schedule, so hopefully there will be more class participation on my part!
(PS: I keep forgetting to say, one of those mystery phone calls was from me! I was still at my old (formerly new) job, so must have been maybe a month or so ago. I have TOTALLY forgotten what I said...that job blew up in my face and I'm still finding stray bits of my brain.)
