I agree with Arlo’s last comment, but for the opposite reason. I like to schedule and plan things as far in advance as possible. Even if it’s some all-day social event that’s going to screw up an entire weekend day for introvert me but that I’m going to be stuck going to only because my wife insists on it. If I know ahead of time and can reschedule my me-time around it, I can tolerate it. But try to abruptly spring something like that on me a day or two before the event when I’ve already mentally made my own weekend plans….well that will definitely not go over well.
Yep, I’m one of those tall ones and I can definitely relate too. But it comes in handy when I’m doing the grocery shopping at my local Wal-Mart. They’re not always very prompt about keeping the shelves that average height people can reach well-stocked, and when that happens I can often see and reach the products on that top shelf that you’re supposed to “ask for assistance” with. Ha, they’d have to get on a ladder themselves to assist me. If I’ve really got time to kill sometimes I move some of those top-shelf items down to the shelves they belong on so others will be able to reach them.
I was raised Roman Catholic (still Christian but absolutely no longer Roman Catholic now) and that was actually the setting I had in mind when I made the comment. Yes, the liturgy was consistent while the homilies varied. But when they did those special “we need money” appeals those would be the LONGEST homilies. Send me a flier when those come up – I can watch the Jerry Lewis Telethon much more easily at home. Like Leroy…they should have been paying ME for the time I lost attending those “services!”
