"Shine on you crazy diamond" and see what happens. I could start a new movement, or maybe a new religion.

I'd join.

To get out of jury duty, I end all of my replies with "as it is written in the Prophecy."

day two:

oh, look at that. I missed her call again.

this time, the message gives some indication about the nature of her need. She wants to ask me about refinancing her loan to get a lower monthly payment.

.....time goes by.....

I called her back, and she answered on the first ring.
..answered her questions.....told her i can't re fi her...she has to go do that on her own....


oh well.....that's that then.

so does it still qualify as a blessed day if she has to do it on her own? or does it now revert to a 'fuck-ed day' - ?

That's a great point. I mean you might presume that this saying is offered in a spirit of generosity. However, specifying that any one particular day should be blessed implies that at least some of the other days were NOT blessed. And, to my way of thinking, that kind of contradicts the concept of infinite grace and mercy. "Do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God, except on those days that aren't blessed. Then you're just fucked all to hell."

In French, "blesser" (BLESS-say) means "to wound".

"Vous me blessez" (Voo meh BLESS-say) = You hurt me

ironic, non?

no irony involved. just arrogance and stupidity trying to foist itself off as being intellectual.

If she has blessings to bestow, perhaps she could bless me.

What's that?
I'm already blessed with beauty, brains and boobies?

You're right.
She can stick her spiritual sort of blessings up her blessed arse.

Sweetie, if you were any more blessed with those things, you'd be required to start your own religion.

I believe someone said "forgive 70 times unto 7" so that equal to 490 times to be forgiven. I probably ran out of forgiveness in my mid-twenties.

anyway - have a blessed day.

I am a cynical jade. The "blessed day" smacks of Christianity to me.

Call me what you will but I am nothing if not sincere when I curse you. (and, truly I say, I curse none)

I just don't want a certain diety's blessing...so shoot me. or hang me...or make me do the "if she weighs the same as a duck..." thing.

oh, I WISH i weighed the same as a duck....

eta: when jim uses 'cock' in a message, i know he REALLY means it. saying "have a blessed day" is like saying "have a good day!"

cliche, cliche, cliche, and LAZY. Like, "I'm all saved and good and going to heaven and shit coz I blessed everyone!"

yeah. some people don't NEED blessings. they need something else.
