Things that Are Not, but Should Be

If your parcel/envelope has "Monastery" or "Convent" in the addressee line, the post office should let you ship it for free.

That's a good idea. This should be a fun thread

If you join the convent all of your loans are forgiven.

My former parish has adoration all day in the church on Thursday followed by benediction and Mass. The rest of the week there's perpetual adoration in a chapel.

Sounds like a great place; you should probably move back there.  

[DominicanHeart]

Yeah my Parish has Perpetual Adoration. I'm good

My campus ministry has it Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Plus confession like all the bleeping time. Dominicans... sheesh.

I worked right next to SLU for 6 months and had no idea that's what the Billiken is.

I think that fits this thread perfectly. God willing maybe one day.

Well, obviously the Billiken wormed his way into your brain when you were working in such close proximity, and he had his effect on you!

I'm partial to Ganesha, myself.  Any religion which has a god specially assigned to the task of removing obstacles has an attraction to me.  I also like Ho Tai, the kitchen god of the Chinese.  Bacchus is OK, I am fond of wine, but Ho Tai seems to cover all the bases where food is concerned.

This makes me think of the little kitchen witch I inherited from my grandma.  Every household in my family has one, it's not a religious thing for us though, just a Scandinavian folk tale.  She is supposed to help you watch the stove and keep things from burning.  (Didn't mean to get off subject!) 

Here's a thing that should be:  If there are no good candidates for an election, we should be able to vote "no" instead of having to pick one, if someone gets enough nos, there has to be a new election with different candidates.

That's brilliant.

If you visit a Convent, who has more than one floor and 25 rooms, they should give you a map of that place so you don't have to walk in circles for 10 minutes, trying to find your room, when you come back from Vigils.

Fortunately my current parish does; though my previous one had the Tabernacle off to the side (and no Adoration) which never made much sense in my opinion.
