Ponderings from a commute?

Just a quick one

1. Why don't people wave thank you any more when driving?! When you let someone in it is polite for them to say thank you by waving. IS IT ANY WONDER THERE IS SO MUCH ROAD RAGE!!!!

Soothing tea OK back now, breathing in and out....in and out

2. And the other one is this. By comparison to others in society I am a law abiding citizen, I don't have a criminal record, don't break many laws.
So why do I feel guilty every time I drive past a police car?

That's all

Your Dominant Intelligence is Interpersonal Intelligence

You shine in your ability to realate to and understand others. Good at seeing others' points of view, you get how people think and feel. You have an uncanny ability to sense true feelings, intentions, and motivations. A natural born leader, you are great at teaching and mediating conflict. You would make a good counselor, salesperson, politician, or business person.

What Kind of Intelligence Do You Have?

Catholics and Proddy's

Hey

I am currently thinking of writing a book titled "What Catholics assume and Proddy's don't get." based on the steep learning curve this proddy has had over the past 4 months working in a Catholic library.

The Chapter headings would go along the lines of:

• Fathers, Priests, Brothers, Bishops - How do you know, how do they know?
• What's with Mary?
• What's the List?
• The Pope - there's a whole chapter
• Coloured Table Cloths? Huh
• Bells and smells - is it just to cover the fart as he walks up the isle or is there more to it?
• What's a nunny nun?
• Why is a nun a sister but a Priest is a Father?
• Dominicans, Franciscan's, Jesuits, - whats the difference, how do they choose?
• Guilt - yet another complete chapter unto itself

I figure I could also do a follow up what "Proddys assume and Catholics don't get". With the first chapter being:

• Baptism - if it's so important to get the head under the water, why not just sprinkle.

I just love this quest of discovery, so different and yet the same.

Wake for a house

On the week end my extended family on my mum's side held a wake for our Nana's house. It sounds like a strange thing to do but it was fantastic.

My Nan has moved into a retirement village and the family home is up for sale.

Nana, Pa and their 4 children moved into the house over 40 years ago.

It is the home that many of the family milestones such as weddings, 21st birthdays and Christmas's happened for my mum's generation and it's the only home the grandkids (my generation) and the great grandkids (LB and The Inquisitor's generation) know.

One of my Aunties remembered that they moved in on the 5th of May and the other Auntie remembered they ate hot dogs.

So on Saturday 5th May 2007 we all went to the house, ate hot dogs for lunch on the front lawn of the house, reminisced, played french cricket and said good bye to the house that has been such a massive part of my family's history.

We refrained from stripping down to our undies and running under the sprinkler as was also a favourite past time at the home, much to many peoples relief.

A wake for a house sounds like a strange thing to do but it was a wonderful way to honor my Nan and to say good bye to the home.
