I happen to think your attitude about her church is reflective of your attitude about most things - that only you know what's right and the rest of us are destined to suffer in our ignorance.
Sorry your perception is of that overture of my personality. However we have been over this before. When lostPhil is wrong he admits he is wrong. It just so happens that lostPhil is rarely ever wrong. WHY? Because lostPhil exhaust all possibilities to problems before he concludes what is the truth.
That is because that is how lostPhil's brain works. To smart for his own good, possibly. So smart he is stupid. That too...
A little rough around the edges but generally right. I'm a computer tech. I have to be right. If I'm not right it doesn't work. If I'm right it works, it gets fixed. I'm wrong and wrong until I make it right.
Air of superiority... Certain things yes. Interesting story. I have a degree in electronics. Logic, Electricity, commuications circuitry, with a high math persona etc.. Anyway, in the home improvement world I can do many things. One of my forte is electrical. I can wire up a house in my sleep. My wife could never understand why she plugged in a space heater and the toaster oven that it would blow the breaker. I wired it, so I didn't know what I was doing. I told her electricity 101. This circuit will only do 20 Amps that is what is designed for. That space heater cranks out 1500 watts. Divide that by 120 volts. Common voltage in the outlet. That is 12.5 amps. Now when you run the toaster oven at 1500 watts. That is another 12.5 amps. That is 25 Amps. When you draw that many Amps. The wire heats up and open up the circuit breaker. If it didn't then the wire would catch on fire. Fire bad.
Then I would get venom from her. OH BS, they can put a man on the moon but you can't plug in two things into an outlet.
Nope sorry...
Air of superiority. Baking... Nope she was too good at that.
Cooking... Oh, I can out cook with the best. The grill is my best weapon. She can't cook an egg right. She couldn't cook meat right. I asked her not to do it. She doesn't eat meat and has no knowledge of how to cook it.
Then she says I tried to make you dinners and you scoffed. Unfortantly she would never use the word scoff.
I would use big words. She would say you don't even know how to spell them. So don't use them.
WHATEVER!
Ice cream gofer... I don't get it.
I did pick up the ice cream. We had some light interaction and it was good. Unfortunatly pig girl was working. There was no customers but she acted like she was in a hurry to get back in there for pig girls approval.
I'm the better man. I drove by the window. Stopped, honk horn. Pig girl looked up. I smiled, waved, and blew her a kiss. She blew me one back.
I go and pick up the kids. They tell me they want to go to arcade. I agree because this is there last night of summer. School tomorrow.
Then I'm driving to the arcade and my Mother calls. She says she is five minutes away from my house. I said I'm sorry I'm not home last minute they wanted to go to arcade. She starts spewing venom. My own mother. I never get to see those kids, and you told me you had them tonight. I said I did but you didn't confirm you were coming out. You should have called before you left the house. You and I talked at two.
More screaming from her. I said please do not yell at me. I'm going to hang up. She keeps screaming. I hang up. She calls my phone five times.
Really this is how my 16 year old wife acts.
I don't need this. I answer her 10th phone call. I ask her if she is calm. She starts screaming. I said I'm not going to put up with your verbal abuse too. I hang up.
Really this is my mother. She should be supporting me, not b|tching me out.
I take another one of her calls. She is still screaming. I said please stop it. She says she didn't get to see her grandkids all summer. I said you had your favorite grandson all summer. My brothers kid was in town. She always favored him. She gets totally p|ssed. And starts spewing more venom. I hang up. We are at the arcade. My mother called my phone 15 times. 15 missed calls. Good thing I couldn't hear my phone.
It is better to dwell in the wilderness then to deal with a quarrelsome and vexatious mother.
My wife calls. But when I answer the phone she had hung up. I called back. She said sorry for hanging up, but she just dropped an entire tray of waffle cones. I said I'm sorry to hear that. She said her boss is going to be so mad. I sad I doubt it wife, she loves you. I said it is just waffle cones. She says, I know but I'm such a clutz. I said that is one of the traits I always liked about you. Don't worry about it, it is just waffle cones. She wanted to know if the kids liked the ice cream cake form pig girl. I said we are not home. We are at the arcade. I said this is their last summer night and we are going to have some fun.
I also called my parents, told them we were going to the arcade. They haven't seen the kids all summer either. They stick around for ahwhile, but have to go to the grocery store. My dad says he got a new car. But they didn't even bother to give the kids an extra five for the arcade.
YOI... My parents.... My mom... Her parents.. Her. Pig girl. Other weirdo's... My good friend. People on this board. People in my last class when I decided to go back to school. I have a giant target on my head that says lets screw with lostPhil.
Too many enemies...and lostPhil learned to react to them all in a better way.
