EAGLE RIVER??

He could get the glasses and then say he doesn't like the feel of the glasses.. he could also say that he's not used to the colors and it feels weird etc.

But you know, the truth is more important.

People seem to have a weird notion on what cleaning ladies are doing...

Take the text back please! Let them buy the glasses and then when you put them on; It’s your time to shine baby! I mean this is where your performance needs to exceed any expectations they had set. Act like you’ve literally never seen the world in such color before. Like the kids in Willy Wonka when they saw the color changing horse 😂 Keep it going 😂😂😂😂

She vaccumes, cleans the beds, and puts clothes away. It was cloth on the bed. I mean, did she have to touch it to know? Probably not, but OP did put his mess directly in the way of the normal tasks she does.

Totally made up lol

I have the glasses, they're cool even if you're not colorblind. When my normal sighted friends try them on they experience saturated colors just like I do. The difference is that for me, that extra saturation helps a bit here and there.

So just take the glasses and enjoy a color boost. Up to you if you want to admit fault though.

Thank you :)

Honestly, yea while you did fuck up the fact she was jealous and gave you the silent treatment is a red flag partners need to talk. From the sound of it if it wasn’t this incident something else would of popped up, and your wife would of done the same thing.

Naw, always pay attention to your partner’s family as birds of a feather flock together. Besides looks like you dodge a bullet when this hen flew the chicken coop..

That's because that's how they trace his claim to throne of Israel. But the whole point of the New Testament, from about Acts onwards, is to demonstrate that with Jesus' death, salvation was no longer just for the people of Israel (read, the Jews), but for all people. Peter still spends a lot of time preaching to and converting Jews, instructing them on new practices, but Paul felt it was his specific mission to take the Word to gentiles, especially Romans.

What likely offended them, probably had nothing to do with Judaism though. You said that David was the oldest figure from the Bible that existed 'that you can prove.' To most Christians, the Bible itself is a historical document, so no further proof of the existence of say Jacob, Isaac or Abraham would be necessary or for it to be collaborated from other sources.

Even still, I know plenty of Christians, that wouldn't be offended simply to hear that expressed, so they still sound like fairly uptight people.

That's interesting, thank you for sharing.

We are classmates and this was a team-building thing I signed up for. I didn't know they were this sensitive. If I did, I would have kept my mouth shut because I wouldn't want to cause conflict.

I am fucking wheezing

See, you're the kind of Christian I wouldn't be afraid of hanging out with. But even if you were a traditional Christian, we could still be friends if we could respectfully debate stuff like this.

Mate, if you feel like you can’t share your insights and be respected then you just need to recognise this isn’t you failing at being social, it’s simply that those people aren’t your tribe.

You don’t sound like a social idiot, just socially sensitive, which means you likely weren’t actually being obnoxious. Their reactions could have been anything. In my experience, most folk aren’t actually all that respectful of other religions symbols, so I think you were likely on the money in thinking they thought it was something more occult and not a Jewish symbol.

So don’t let this kind of thing cause you to second guess or try and conform to a certain type of of attitude. If this scenario should tell you anything, it should be that you need to be more unapologetically you, and ask more questions so that you aren’t guessing so much at the motivations and thoughts of those you interact with

Sounds like me. Self destruct mode. Lol. Been so sick with random things. Thankfully not covid though.

I was also careful to not step on it, but more out of respect for Judaism lol.

I know what you mean, some atheists can be weird and I definitely was when I first lost my faith. But I have grown a lot and I respect all religions. I can see the beauty in religion, I love how the festivals unite people, I love how some people find comfort in it and all of that. I don't hate religions, in fact I want to learn more about them. And yes, I know the star of David is more of a Jewish symbol. Also, I did try to make the situation better by explaining that I've taken to learn about other religions and I particularly found this David story fascinating. But that just made it worse, because one of the people told me to stop straying and remember my roots (coz she knows I used to be Christian). She sounded annoyed when she said that, so I just kept quiet after that.

Lucky for you. They were not gentle with me the first time. Plus, oddly positioned uterus so they had to use a good bit of force to ram it in there. But, the next 7 years were worth it. I'm on my third one.

A lot of places apparently think 800mg of ibuprofen is sufficient pain medication to have metal tools shoved not too gently into your uterus. Even more so if your uterus is oddly positioned and the nurse has to press on your gut to move your uterus down so they can push -harder- with the tools to make it fit in there. Most OB/gyn will only do them in office, without pain medication/numbing. Also too, insurance cost is part of it. It's 100% covered.. if you do it without sedation. I paid 1300$ and got my rear knocked out with ketamine and that was the best experience I've had with IUD placements.

yeah something doesn't seem right with the whole story really.

I know right? I thought I was doing a good thing, because I was like "Hey, even a doubting atheist like me cannot deny David, a key figure in the bible, didn't exist. There is undisputed proof of him existing, so you guys might be on to something." You know? I didn't mean for my comment to challenge their faith or anything like that.

well not really, she is a cleaning lady and she touched pants on a dudes bed, if she's grossed out by cum she's not much of a cleaning lady lol
