Wow. You’re in a tough position but since he already KNOWS (and hopefully when you speak with him it goes well) you might as well hope you get the job.

For an analogy, this is like breaking up and them having to see your ex almost every day afterwards.

Thanks! A better person couldn’t have responded in a better way – to me anyway. :)

Annie, I already sent YOU an email about this. I hope you stay as you are. You are a beautiful woman with wonderful character and a kind heart. You have the freedom to be whatever you CHOOSE to be. God’s greatest gift is the gift of Free Agency — the right to choose who and what you will be now and always. If and when you are ever ready to make any changes, that will be between you and God. It’s no one else’s business. Yes, I am religious — that’s MY choice — but I would NEVER tell you or anyone else that you are wrong because YOU don’t make the same choice. That, as I said, is between you and God and no one else needs to be butting into that part of your business without an invitation from YOU. You are loved and you are special to me. Those who walk away probably ARE afraid something you do might rub off on them because they are too weak in their own faith to stand firm in their convictions. Of course, I haven’t really seen you doing anything THAT bad, but as long as you don’t use the GD word to me or mock Jesus Christ I’m good. And even then, I would only choose to be disappointed and sad. I think you have enough “good” in you not to do that anyway. You aren’t doing anything now that I haven’t done myself at one time or another. So BE WHO YOU ARE. No one in this family is going to sit in judgment of you and anyone else just simply isn’t that important.

I’m so glad I don’t have to worry about face-to-face stuff and religion with any of my family!

I can’t blame you. I haven’t been a practicing Catholic for a long time. My mom lives nearby and stopped to visit last Sunday morning before church. I knew what was going to happen. Yup. We wound up getting into a heated discussion about why I was not going to church and that I was doing wrong i the eyes of God.

My reply was that if i live my life not doing bad (well, not too much!) I should be the same person inside or outside of church.

Thanks!

It does make you wonder how often things like this happen that aren’t caught on tape. I’d bet it happens more than most would care to admit.

I asked my youngest to watch video and let me know what he thought. He said he wanted to punch every single one of those kids in the face. I can only hope that he’d be the kind of kid who would stand up against those other kids. Honestly though, I think he’d be pissed off in silence for fear that he’d start getting bullied too.

This is the best blog post I have read on this incident. I mean it!

You’re not justifying or condoning the actions at all. It became a group attack because this is how many of these kids act on the bus. There wasn’t anyone else to interfere. If this were not taped, would we have known about this? How many more times has something like this happened and it hasn’t been taped?

The not being allowed to travel in the bus anymore is a GREAT idea! In a way, these kids and their parents will be paying for their stupidity. In their case, their callousness.

About the money, she doesn’t believe it. I’m not sure if all of it is real. But it shows how many good hearted people are out there.

From what I’ve come to understand, they can issue EIN, TIN, and SNN’s that may be the same, but the numbers are formatted differently. Like SSN’s 000-00-000 and an EIN may be 0000-0-00-0 or something like that. Still, some forms ask that you omit the dashes when entering them in. I don’t know, it’s all crazy.

Aside from the one credit card hubby has for work, we don’t use any credit cards either. We haven’t had a credit card in probably 10yrs. or so. I hate them. Hubby deals mostly in cash only. I use my check card quite often though. In fact, I prefer to use the check card over cash only because I don’t like to carry cash around.
