    Okay, dear Heartbreaker (and peace to you!). Not sure I agree that this is "funny", but for the sake of PEACE (shakes head)... I'll move on.

    Again, peace to you!

    YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,

    A Tesco store has asked customers not to shop in their pyjamas or barefoot

    Elaine Carmody, 24, a full-time mother of two young boys, described the ban as "ridiculous" and "pathetic".

    She said she had regularly gone shopping at the store in her pyjamas until about a week ago when she was turned away when she went to buy cigarettes.

    She said she had been "popping in for a pack of fags," but if she had been doing a full shop "then we obviously would have gone in clothed".

    "But we only wanted fags and they still refused us to go in for a pack of cigarettes," she added

    Ms Carmody, who spoke after spending £102 in the supermarket, added: "If you're allowed to wear jogging bottoms, why aren't you allowed to wear pyjamas in there? That's what I don't understand.

    "I think it's stupid really not being allowed in the supermarket with pyjamas on.

    Perhaps this is a good business opportunity - start making bras with 4 cups.

    I have no problem with it as long as they aren't see thru. Some of the young girls at the riding stables I used to go to wore their pyjama bottoms. They would change into their breeches once they were about to ride. I thought is was kind of cute. My Mother would have never let me do something like that!

    The downside of being an atheist is you can't sign preachy judgmental posts with self-righteous sayings invoking the endorsement of a sky daddy.

    Peace be with you!

    See? It doesn't have the same holy glisten.

    I will take the fith ammendment on this one on the grounds I may incriminate myself with my low base comment.

    You must forgive me, dear Rebel... and peace to you!

    I am usually not that thin-skinned. There are very few things in this world that "bother" me... and had it been me you all were laughing at, I most probably would have laughed with you. I guess I come from a different "age." Used to be, people only laughed at people behind their hands. Then it progressed to laughing at them with the other children on the school yard. After that, it went to laughing at others outright in public. Now, with the Internet, someone can take a snapshot of you on a "bad" day... and put it out there for the whole world to see... and laugh at. Does that "bother" me? It does. I'm sorry, but it does. It also kind of bothers me that it doesn't bother you... or anyone apparently anyone else here.

    But, you're right: I shouldn't have attempted to be your conscience. I know what a lot of folks here are "about" and shouldn't have taken offense. Please know that I did not take it for myself - I took offense on behalf of the people like these who are constantly laughed at behind their backs and sometimes even publicly humiliated... most often because they simply don't know any better.

    If a slim young lady had presented herself in the same manner as any of these, you would "hear" catcalls and whistles. Instead, you are hearing some pretty nasty comments. And, yeah, that bothers me because I think women have enough issues, especially with self-image, without having to worry that unconsented photos of them are being posted on the Internet.

    Again, I apologize - I am not trying to be self-righteous or judgmental. I do tend to speak up when I think someone's being unfairly harmed, though... even if they don't know it. It is my "nature," unfortunately. But it IS your thread and you have the right to post/say whatever YOU wish in it. I will respect that... and most probably not open any from this point on so that I'm not surprised... or embarassed. I mean, I know that like life, opening threads here is "like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get." I forgot that, though, and so promise to choose my "chocolates" more carefully from here on.

    I bid you the greatest of love and peace.

    Your servant and a slave of Christ,

    SA

    Aguest,

    Sometimes you amaze me. And I am being completely serious for a change.

    Food for thought.
