There's folks obsessed with religion and as witnessed on IO from time to time, there's also folks obsessed with discounting religion. Did a photo essay of India several years back and ran across this bloke with both arms folded over his head. Some locals were feeding him by the side of the road...

Yeah, keep thinking must have done. Just, she calls me "Ukel", how she pronounces uncle, any other time.

Been a while since my last update. Nanna Gymea's mini-me is doing well. She's walking and talking now and just as spooky as ever. Just started calling me Boy. Not altogether sure, but I suspect my brother's put her up to it. You see, ever since I was a little blighter, that's how Nanna Gymea'd...

One for NJ..... :p Yo Yo Honey Singh

Ha, ha, ha... Bloke in the colonial I wager?

Fit right in down here mate. We like to make 'em dance in the dirt too! -:D

I've been know to say that. Not rejecting 'organized religion' per se, just mean though I'm Christian and read the Bible, I've never felt the need to do so in a structured church setting. We were always taught at home and I still commune with God on that level.

Oh.... that explains the daughter-in-law's guitar selection the other night. -:p

Trying to remember what we ate last night. Fish I think. Whatever it was there was wine afterward. -:p

Our family's always celebrated 25 December as the conception rather than birth of Jesus, but that aside, Christmas traditions down here are pretty much the same as the states. Decorations, carols, parties, holiday food, gifts. Our local mission puts on a nice little Christmas Eve pageant for...
