    Re: Whatcha thinking about now? (v2)

    I went to a ritual at my old church for the first time in a year and a half. It felt like time. I'm still not happy with the current minister. She made some comments that I find pretty offensive (pretty much trying to talk down poly relationships even though they're supported by the UU) and also there was a whole fiasco with the RE director who happened to be a friend of mine that really ticked me off. Basically he was running things like he always had with prior church approval and she came in and said it was completely wrong and fired him with little to no warning that things needed to change.

    It was a mess and I'm still pissed because he was a great RE director and the person she hired to replace him (without anyone's approval) is Lutheran and wanted to set up a Sunday bible school instead of using UU curriculum which would have caused me to insist on pulling Nova out, not that my gf would argue if they started that crap.

    I also had a bit of a falling out with the CUUPs lead around the same time. I colead with her and one other person for a couple years and some things happened, some miscommunication, some things that really hurt my trust, and some things I said that I know hurt her trust. I think we're at the point that we've healed from that a bit. So I feel comfortable going to CUUPs events again, sort of, but I still want nothing to do with the current minister and can't wait for her development period to be over with and someone new to come in. I know it won't fix everything, but hopefully they won't be so closed minded.

        Typically they are. But they are also influenced by the area they serve. If they're in a mostly conservative state, they may attract the more moderate people and the liberals, but those moderates still have an effect. This particular minister is from the deep south, is a lesbian, and was threatened in her home state and had to find a different place to work. Which makes it even odder in my opinion that so many things suggest that she is so anti poly. Our church atmosphere felt so much more accepting to me before her arrival. She's always felt a little off to me for some reason though, cold and fake, so I was probably biased even before she gave me a reason to be.

            I know what a TERF is, and that's not the issue. She has no problem with trans people, just poly relationships.

                    We kinda sorta stumbled on it. When it came up, my husband was shocked when I was like, sure, why the hell not? Then when a long time friend's relationship came to an end things kind of developed. I've always advocated for working on forming strong connections with people for awhile before going in a romantic direction with them.

                      Went in late to work because of snowy weather. I skidded on the interstate a few times. Thank goodness no one was near me. Work went ok, but I talked to my trainer toward the end of the day and I was like at 740 seconds when it should be at least 450 seconds. I think what is getting me is that we are still in groups. However, he told me that some issues are that people aren't taking control of the calls. I'm still trying to get a hold of it. I was better than yesterday though. I'm hoping I feel better tomorrow. Hope my throat doesn't feel sore.

                          My hubby wrecked his car this morning and likely totaled it. No injuries, thank goodness. The roads were terrible with all the snow and ice we've been getting and it didn't look like the plows had gotten to that section of interstate. He said he wasn't even breaking or anything, just must have hit a patch of ice and his tail end swung around and he ended up hitting the median wall. I'm just glad he's ok.

                                The loan should be paid off at the very least since he has gap insurance as well as regular car insurance on it.
