It's an accelerated program, 4 classes in one semester. Yes we will be writing our own vows, but they will contain promises one would make to a sworn brother as well as a lover. Because we are just that. Best friends, Brothers, and Lovers. He is my equal and other half, and I love him with all my heart.

Interestingly, comparing catholicism to other religions on an atheist forum, is like discussing what colour the baubles should be on a non-existent tree.

Ah, I posted that I doubted setting his blog to 'approval' was going to do much for his street cred.  I think he saw the point :)

Well, I'm cackling away here - you must have got under poor Bob's skin, laughs he has re-set his Pope thread to pre-approve comments before they are posted!  Is that not too ironic for words?

Right now I'm focused on getting through my AutoCAD classes and getting a good job. Then I'm going to sponsor his move to the US and we'll go from there. This might take a year or more, and if Texas does a complete 180 on it's marriage views, that'll be great, otherwise, the nearest state we could go to would be Iowa, and I'd have to get in touch with a wedding planner or coordinator and find a suitable venue. I'd like to get a Renaissance Faire so I don't have to go through the trouble of finding people to come, but those usually have packages that don't allow for deviations, and they're usually very cookie cutter. I have something very specific in mind. And my husband to be has some very specific armor he wants to wear, not costume grade either.

That is excellent evidence.  Don't just link it - copy and paste some of the children's comments - you know he can't click links that rattle his cognitive dissonance.

Grin - he's a creep, but I was going to find a damn site if it killed me.  Soon as I realised I should search paedo rather than pedo, it was all there.  Now Arch has quoted extensively fro the link I gave and SteveInCo is on to him too.  He is the slimy type.  We can't win, because what's the prize?  Bob as an atheist?  ugh.  Your posts are great, but he will wriggle because he has to.  What a vile specimen of a human!  Makes you glad we aren't associated with him.

I know Suzanne.  I felt the same last night.  I really do know. 

Remember that if you drag a white glove through a muddy pool, it's never the mud that gets glovey.  I was close to vomiting over my last post, and I don't want to deal with his response.  I'm leaving that to Kris and H3xx.  He is the seedy epitome of exactly what he represents. 

I'm assuming you mean this blank entry.  Ning did an update to their software two days ago, suspending site access.  Since then a few weird anomalies seem to have occurred.  Hawk posted that a flood of Facebook TA posts appeared, that dated back a couple of years.  Unfortunately there isn't a way to capture text lost in the ether.  Very frustrating, particularly as you post such thoughtful posts.  Fortunately it doesn't happen often.  If I write a long post, just before I hit 'submit, I highlight it and hit 'copy'.  It's saved me once, but that was still worth it for me.

Thanks for liking my page - they are the Seven Deadly Sins, grin....
