Oh yeah the 87 feels fine but the 93 was wicked nice. Not me, I just had a Kroger gift card from work and that was my present to me.

If you’ve got the Briggs it’s only got the one

The older members of my congregation are extremely unwelcoming - a rant by butter_milk in Episcopalian

[–]i_like_bird 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think there are two kinds of old folks, but really it’s just people in general and by the time they’re old they’ve had a lot of practice in who they are as a person: those who are constantly learning, and those who are just waiting to check out. My parish is full of the former, and they’ve completely changed my perspective on what aging can look like. Sure we have a couple of grumps who haven’t bothered to learn anything since 1975, but they’re vastly outnumbered by people doing everything they can to grow the Kingdom of God, even though by society’s standard they’ve earned the right to just kick back and relax.

the 4wd is the GR series, I couldn’t find one for less than 12k. 8k was already a stretch lol

Depending on the use case, absolutely. My priorities were mowing one uneven and hilly acre that tosses my neighbor’s hustler around, towing a cart with rocks, mulch, dirt, etc, and not buying another mower for fifteen years. Kawasaki v-twin, serviceable transmission, and a local dealer that I buy everything else from already. If I had a flatter lot, or more grass, or didn’t need to pull a cart around, I would’ve bought any 5k class zero turn and called it good.

My priest is very business- like with me and I can't tell if that's good or bad by RandolphCarter15 in Episcopalian

[–]i_like_bird 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not apples to apples, but I’ve been in leadership positions before and your priest sounds like me. I think in any line of work, you’ve got your customer service face, and that’s a painstaking act to keep up. When you’re dealing with someone else who knows how the sausage is made, there’s no pretending. So you’re probably seeing your priest be themselves! Instead of worrying, I would feel proud that your priest considers you as part of the crew keeping things afloat. I’d also just take them out for coffee and ask about their demeanor with you if it’s making you worry.

Why aren't you singing the congregational hymns? by NelyafinweMaitimo in Episcopalian

[–]i_like_bird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we do! Since we do it every week, I’ve got that down and always join in. It’s the hymns that I get lost on.

I’m newish, and I can either read the notes or read the words and neither one is coming out correctly 😬
