An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
ACK!
This morning, before my meeting, I made a stop at the post office to mail a package. He gave me the price, and my jaw hit the floor! Then, he told me I could send it ‘media’ for a LOT cheaper, like 7 bucks cheaper, but it would be subject to inspection, if the Postmaster chose to do so. I asks if this was part of the Patriot Act stuff, which I said some of which I have a few disagreements. The guy said, “You must be a liberal.”
Now, I’ve been called a lot of things, racist, Nazi, bigot, etc., and I don’t give a flying flip, but THAT hurt!
I proceeded to tell him, politely of course, BITE YOUR TONGUE! After that we had a very nice conversation. I gave him my card, and told him to check out just how much of a ‘liberal’ I really am. Heh.
Hmm….he’s also a pastor, so I better watch my language. Not that I use too many words that are inappropriate for a ‘family’ blog, but every once in a while…… 
Reckon the dibble grabs a hold of my tongue during the occasional rant. 
So, if ya come by Pastor Post Office….WELCOME! I’ll try to behave. 
I also ran into the candidate for TN State Rep for my district, Vance Dennis. Told him he REALLY needs to update his web page, and make it easier for folks to donate online, with PayPal, or credit cards, or whatever. He’s one of the GOOD guys. I will definitely link to him in the 2008 section of the sidebar……as soon as I send the info to E, so he can do it! heh.

@silent E:
Ah HA! Found it! Be on it’s wait momentarily!
For we all often stumble and fall and offend in many things. And if anyone does not offend in speech [never says the wrong things], he is a fully developed character and a perfect man, able to control his whole body and to curb his entire nature. If we set bits in the horses’ mouths to make them obey us, we can turn their whole bodies about. Likewise, look at the ships: though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the impulse of the helmsman determines. Even so the tongue is a little member, and it can boast of great things. See how much wood or how great a forest a tiny spark can set ablaze! And the tongue is a fire. [The tongue is a] world of wickedness set among our members, contaminating and depraving the whole body and setting on fire the wheel of birth (the cycle of man’s nature), being itself ignited by hell (Gehenna). For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea animal, can be tamed and has been tamed by human genius (nature). But the human tongue can be tamed by no man. It is a restless (undisciplined, irreconcilable) evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who were made in God’s likeness! Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be so.
James 3:2-10

Well, I’m a’tryin’! sigh….
