Re: LTE 2.0
Very true. We had a girl charged with assault for trying to stab another girl with a knife. She came to court and cried that she was sorry, she was really a pacifist. Imagine her surprise when we pulled up her MySpace page that had one avatar chasing another with a clearver!indoor66 wrote:Ya' know, one of my old partners used to say that "if they were as smart as you are they wouldn't need you."CathyCA wrote:Note to clients: It is NOT a good idea to cry to your attorney that you are too broke to afford a telephone, but then post pictures from your camera phone on Facebook of your fabulous time from your club level seats at the ECU football game.

Re: LTE 2.0
Does anyone know why the nuns stood behind the gate at Maria's wedding to Captain von Trapp? Why couldn't the nuns enter the sanctuary with all of the other wedding guests?

I thought it was because they were a cloistered order. Did a google search and here is what I found: They are Benedictine nuns and therefore must stay "seperate"CathyCA wrote:Does anyone know why the nuns stood behind the gate at Maria's wedding to Captain von Trapp?

Benedictine nuns live in cloister. In cloistered monasteries and convents, every way to separate the religious (the term for both monks and nuns) from the laity is taken. If you watch the movie "Agnes of God," you'll see what Benedictine convents and monasteries used to do (some still do) in their parlors for one on one conversation; they put up a grille between themselves and their guests, to maintain the enclosure of the cloister. In the movie, then, the nuns are in the church, but are separated from the rest of the congregation by the gate which marks the enclosure of the cloister.

I had thought that since they were nuns, maybe they would be up near the front, even in the choir loft since they were "more churchy" than the wedding guests.

My mother would be proud to know that some of her Catholicism rubbed off on me over the years. Not sure what my pop up from the Presbyterian years. I do use this background as an excuse when a new hymn pops up in the Methodist church I now attend.

Re: LTE 2.0
DinK, thanks from me, too, for clarifying that. I've always wondered why the nuns stayed behind the gate. I thought maybe they weren't allowed at wedding ceremonies or something.DukieInKansas wrote:I thought it was because they were a cloistered order.

I've been known to use this sarcasm.
The better question is, "How do you solve a problem like Maria?"

Contrary to popular belief, Labor day has nothing to do with childbirth.
Not that childbirth should not be a cause of celebration.

Not much posting here today. Of course I can't really compare to a normal weekday as I don't ever make it here during work.
