  charcuterie board 

"They were enjoying dinner on a charcuterie board however as she pointed out (and God forgive me) it was a "C--- cuterie board".. The board itself was carved in the shape of a mans privates. I am not the person to show that to. I am still disgusted. "

You had every right to be disgusted Diane. I am also disgusted by this Satanic Hellish mockery. Satan wants to dismantle God's Sacraments including the Sacrament of Marriage.

You are so right. Its that darn devil that has gotten into everything in the first place. 

I hope she didnt use her tray more over the weekend. Here we go Monday!

No, you feel obliged to rearrange you face when yet another colleague/friend explains their child has changed sex.

An unintended consequence, which no-one mentions, surely has to be that people will start to question the point of having children.  What's the point of doing all that hard work, if they end up changing a perfectly healthy, beautifully created/evolved body into something else.  No grand kids for you at the end of the tunnel.


And I love Armand's statement, "The West seems that we have eliminated all boundaries that used to keep people safe".

I have to get moving this morning but do wish to send out some love to all who have commented. 

I have a very soft heart and the next week or so is one I best hide in my woods. You are right. Rearrange your face. Hide your reaction. Keep your opinions to yourself unless you want to be further labeled. Its all just heartbreaking. When I signed on with the school I had to agree not to give my opinions.. do they mean keep my faith to myself? Can I have a cross at my desk? I have had it in my hand to bring along but then stopped. 

Safe is a big word to me these days as Armand stated. How many people are truly safe to us? Not that many. Pray pray pray. Maybe that is some consolation in not having children. I cant imagine some of this heartbreak

  and I find that I dont want ANY of these friends. When I volunteered the other night for Compassion International I didnt even talk to the women. I just went off on my own so I feel myself giving up on meeting decent people. 

Rant over. Thank God for our tiny group. I dont see any of you throwing poo themed parties. Please take me back to 1923.

May be its a blessing that I don't know what the C cuterie board is nor the poo emoji and no, I don't want to know.
Diane, I feel your frustration and disappointment. Let's head back to 1923.

A friend called me yesterday to rant about the lack of decency during parties and I agree with her. I know we are called to raise the standards and set good examples but its tiring to feel like we are always those people going counter cultural in today's world. God help us. I think I need to pray more rosaries to stay close to our Mother, model of all virtues. So help me God.

I a novena that Don sent me to Our Lady. Its not a bad idea. And yes, keep your head in the sand on this one. Ugh,

Unfortunately, the workplace is not the place to find friends. It is a rarity if you can find a trustworthy and virtuous coworker.

I wish I had learned this lesson at your age April <3
