I never did do those, I wonder why.

I forget what you are supposed to do at the end of the rosary too. I think I worked really hard to forget all of that

But get me in a church, and I'll still remember what the crowd says. Pfft.

Having been in a Catholic church only for weddings (and not many of those), I'm relatively free of the memories the rest of you are talking about. Are we supposed to be confessing something here, or only sighing heavily whenever someone else mentions that they are retired?

You shouldn't be sighing. You're retired! Why are you sighing? That's what I'm supposed to do. I'm the one who has to go to the office tomorrow. <sigh> I should really play the lottery more often.

The problem is, they won't call you when you win. The lazy buggers expect you to pay attention and contact them. Why I don't play. I'm lazier than they are. One lottery I've thought would work well is a Federal Income Tax lottery. Whenever you send in your tax returns, you can elect to have them take out another $20. If you win, what you get is never having to pay any more income tax for the rest of your life. Just send in a coupon from your IRS booklet each year.

This makes me think of the poet Magi Gibson and the closing verse (well most of the poem actually) of her poem Confessions of a Wild Woman, from her collection "Wild Women of a Certain Age":


So please forgive me,
Oh mother and father who brought me up right
And John Knox who lurketh like a flasher
in the shadows of my mind
For I have sinned
And am not finished yet.

(The whole poem is available partway down this page on her website.)

(What intrigues me is that the front cover of the book shown on her website -- though sadly not my copy -- reminds me of one of a set of a certain royal's avatar.)
