[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

A fat Jesus? lol I’ve never heard of that - please tell us you got a photo

[xsmommy]

Not far but short and muscular. Felt too sacrilegious didn’t do a pic!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I think in my entire life all I’ve ever seen is the same slender form of Jesus on the cross - I just asked my husband if he noticed any when he was in Hawaii but he said he did not

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

I’m watching the press conference by the attorney’s in Missouri - the fact that Michael Brown was a thief and bully is just character assassination...a side show....

[Texan5]

That is annoying, too. Have you seen the commercials for lifelock or some other protection racket, where they talk about people “opening credit cards”? It makes my teeth itch-credit card accounts are opened-the cards for them are “received” or “gotten”. I picture someone using a tiny can opener on a credit card every time I see that ad...

[xsmommy]

Will try to take discreet pic at Mass on Sunday. Xshub and I are having lunch on the beach in Lahaina. Having a seared Ahi tuna salad. Restaurants have been very accommodating thus far of my food issue. Xshub is happy bc his food issues look reasonable in comparison!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Haha - I hadn’t thought about that. I’ll bet those folks are thinking you are nutty to be in paradise and eating the way you are..... but I fully understand - wedding photos are forever!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Haha - are you watching the Patriots/Eagles game? The QB for eagles lost the feed to his helmet and I told my husband it would have been funny as hell if he had gone over to Belichick and asked him what his play was supposed to be....

[SoothingDave]

I was watching earlier, but missed it. We went grocery shopping.

That is funny. It’s good we can share a mutual hatred of Bellichick.
