He kept calling to us, then following us; then running after us when we wouldn't stop - till traffic forced us to wait at the light while we were looking frantically around for a cop...then he caught up to us & shoved literature at us & tried to "invite" us to come back with him! We ran when the light changed. It seemed rather cult-ish behavior to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-1145501590501141292006-04-19T19:53:00.000-07:002006-04-19T19:53:00.000-07:00Oh, I just adore that line about friends!

Do post that soup know-how. ;)<BR/><BR/>It is funny you mention this Tom stuff. My Aunt came to our house on Sunday, and she asked me what I know about Scientology. It seems she has a friend who is trying to get her into it. She is a sort of wealthy person, so I told her I am not surprised that they are interested in her, seeing that it is really a business. I actually had a friend in college, who was raised in Scientology, and it is some freaky-deaky shiznit. All her life she was told she wasn't to have children-- she wasn't "chosen" to reproduce, or some crap. Then when she got pregnant and chose to keep the baby, her whole family disowned her! She told me that celebrity types like Tommy boy, don't really know what the real life people go through. She said they are treated totally differently, so he probably believes all the rumors of it being a cult is just a lot of bunk because he really doesn't know any better. Ca-raaa-zy.<BR/>But if my aunt becomes a Scientologist after she wouldn't come to church with me all these years, I'm going to be pissed! LOL!<BR/><BR/>:)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680903854519503303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-1145467969008611152006-04-19T10:32:00.000-07:002006-04-19T10:32:00.000-07:00Two hours (when traffic isn't horrible) is not far...Two hours (when traffic isn't horrible) is not far at all!

And I'm not the bitch slapping type.<BR/><BR/>He probably won't let Katie get away - that's the freaky part.<BR/><BR/>Your egg/treasure hunt and the food sounded like such a treat!!!

I like the idea of the treasure hunt as my kids are getting beyond the age of being excited by little plastic eggs. My mother-in-law did one at Christmas and they loved it but I never thought of one for Easter.<BR/><BR/>I saw the Anne Lamott event in the Sunday Oregonian but can't make it this time (a day when the figurative mommy-clone would come in handy).
