If I were bad, bad, bad, I’d be at least 10 minutes late to every meeting and every gathering with friends or family. And, I’d be completely unapologetic about it.
Alas, I’m the kind of person who breaks out in hives if I’m late for something, and I started wearing a watch at age 7 because I always want to know exactly what time it is. It appears that I’m pathologically prompt.
I gave up time long ago. Haven’t had a watch in 40 years. I do, however, need to know the temperature. I think I have seven readouts around the house and garage (one for each bay).
Maybe this. Some guy lied about getting it on with me so several people thought I was the town slut. But I wasn’t, and I sure was confused about my reputation with them. But that’s not to say I wasn’t curious about it. All in all, I don’t think I would have been happy with it, but one wonders…
I’m a born-again Christian. I’ve known the Lord, as we put it, for over 50 years. I’ve never been an evangelical, but let’s just say that I’ve spent a fair amount of time over the years in fairly close contact with evangelicals.
I have pretty much the same low opinion of evangelicals as most people on this board do, only more detailed than most due to greater familiarity. I’m also quite aware of how easy it is to scam them, once they think you’re One Of Them.
I’ve often thought that if I had a more larcenous heart, that’s exactly what I’d spend my time doing. So that’s what I’d do if I had a bit more of a bad streak.
I once had a doofus in a brand new, high-end boat drift up to my pontoon boat and ask me why people were giving him the finger. I’d seen him blasting through a NO WAKE zone and figured that was why.
Turns out he’d seen the NO WAKE buoys, but had no idea what they meant. That made me so angry that instead of educating him, I told him if he didn’t know even the basics he had no business being on the water.
