(Sent from my computer with full keyboard). I went to Verizon to get my new 2 year contract phone and they were dumbfounded when I asked for a phone with no camera, no internet, no keyboard...just...a phone, with numbers on the keypad. "But you can get the new "I'm your Huckleberryphone for only 49.95! with a two year contract!" they said. Nope. A phone is a phone...I TALK on mine, I said. I'm not spending another 500.00 on getting a tri-focal prescription to read my phone. Big sigh from the salesman. So, yeah, don't email my phone, call me, we'll chat. ROTFL!

I always look at the spam 'cause sometimes a real person lands in there. These guys... what can I say? Is the flattery / insult the give-a-way? I guess I just get tired of the same one over and over and over. Thought maybe someone out there might be sharing my pain. :) Seems like every 2 or 3 days...it comes again.

I just got one too, over at my WordPress blog. Comments with hyperlinks are automatically categorized as 'Spam' so that I can determine whether they see the light of day. This was indeed spam.

Interesting. I hope one day we can stop dividing ourselves into various subcategories of Orthodox Christianity... and then maybe we could also heal the Schism with Rome... ah, peace.

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:30:15 +0000 http://vvcix.wordpress.com/?p=1357#comment-466 You mentioned about doing research on the Western Rite, for those <i>geek enough</i>... I haven't done any research beyond attending a Western Rite parish once every month, but even that was enough to highlight the similarities between the Western and Byzantine Rites. They really are the same thing, done differently. And to be honest, it took me some time immersed in both the Western and Byzantine Rites to figure that out. <i>I don't know if I'm a geek so much as a dullard...</i> :) That said, I think it's helpful if one is going to speak about the Western Rite, that a significant amount of time is spent in it first. Thanks for the very good and needed post!

I must have gotten lost in one of the tributaries in your stream of conciousness. The Sdn. wasn't after the Western Rite, so my apologies to slandering his anonymous good name. Point remains the same, however for those who do wish to remove Western Rite from the ummmm...Western Orthodox. Oops…mea goofa mea goofa mea maxima goofa.

(Just to let everyone know it wasn't THIS subdeacon that wrote the note.) You should write speeches for the Bishops. Speaking of...I guess if Sdn.whatshisface wants to do away with Western Rite, he can stay celibate, pray, be really pious and eventually become an archbishop then he can declare it sub-Orthodox in his jurisdiction. That sounds a lot easier than emailing everyone who attends a Western Rite parish and trying to change their minds. ROTFLM-orarion-O!!
