lol, I’m lucky, my family’s very laid-back about religion!

She is setting you up, soon the missionaries will come banging on your door. I wish more Christians weren’t so pushy with their belief systems. Mainly, the ones in my family.

Jennifer: Hehe, yeah. I have some relatives and friends who are at a VERY different end of the political spectrum than I am and who love to talk politics, so I just nod and smile.

“Clothes shopping. *shudder*” That’s exactly what I was going to write…

“Differences only separate us if we let them.” So true - as shown by all the differences that used to matter and don’t anymore. I know plenty of people with whom I strongly disagree on religious issues (me being an atheist), but still get along fine since neither of us is determined to ‘convert’ the other. Probably helps that I tend to be too reserved to debate anything anyway… =)

Feline: Clothes shopping. *shudder* I don’t know what it is about clothes shopping that drives me so insane. Maybe partially because I’m nowhere near a ‘normal’ size or shape, so nothing fits me. Somehow I always resent having to spend money on something that, to me, I wouldn’t do if I had any option. I try never to discuss religion or politics with friends, because it’s too easy to let such differences flare into arguments, and that isn’t worth it.

Trish: Glad you managed to find something!

I’m just struck by the fact that on the surface my neighbor and I appear to have nothing in common other than gender and street. We’re separated by 15-20 years of age, religion, and skin color, but that doesn’t mean anything to personality and friendship.

I HATE shopping as well. Last weekend I swore I was finally going to go on a *much* needed shopping spree. Saturday I came home angry and empty handed. I forced myself back out on Sunday and managed to find a few good sales. Glad you had a great time with your neighbor–and such a wise statement you leave us with.

Bookstores and stationary/office supply stores are about the only type of stores I enjoy browsing in, so you aren’t alone in your aversion to clothes shopping! Your shopping trip with your neighbor does sound like fun though. It’s so nice when religion and politics don’t get in the way of a friendship.
