Say it proud and say it loud: I'm an atheist. However, that's regarded as something like having two heads around here in woo-town USA. People look at me pretty oddly when I say I don't believe. But say you believe there's a town inside Mt. Shasta and you know where the door is, and everyone is right there with you. In fact, you can pretty much believe any totally whackdoodle thing you want around here, and the more impossible it is, the more you're applauded. I consider myself a little island of sanity in the insanity that is Mt. Shasta.

Are you an "out of the closet" atheist?
by rebel8 ini'm atheist and not ashamed of it.
however, it is so politically incorrect, especially where i live.
i have a legitimate concern that being out of the closet too much will hurt my career or neighborly relations--i know for a fact it probably would.. i'm really cautious about who i tell.. how about you?

"Gone Home?" What an unusual sentiment, if they believed he was going to have to wait for the parousia or whatever the hell it is before he went to heaven.

Frankly, I find Santa to be somewhat unreliable. Maybe order a Tardis from the BBC instead of waiting for Santa to bring your time machine.

I wish we had "like" buttons. I like your post, Ragnarok. I hope she gets lots of books! I'm not so sure about the fairy, though. They're hard to find.

Sooner -- is that your last exam in nursing school? Thumbs up! I remember your post a couple of years ago when you announced you were starting nursing school. Good for you!

Y'all are funny! OTWO that's a very specific list. Santa should have no trouble understanding it.
The old beauty queen joke: I want a fur coat and a sports car and a big big diamond, oh and world peace, of course!
I hope you all don't object to fluff!
LV101 -- are you near Las Vegas? Somehow I have the idea that Ethel M chocolates are made there. I could be imagining it.
Talesin -- cheese and chocolate will be on hand if you can show up for my party -- see the other thread for info.
As for the rest of you, the ones who want to see the end of the wtbts, well, let me go look for my matches. There should be some around here, and a little tnt.

Oh, I figured it might be a bit too much for most of you. But anyone in the neighborhood of Mt. Shasta, let me know!
Apostrate -- Way northern California, until you almost run out of state.

You don't get the concept of fluff, do you? I'm the queen of fluff. This is a fluff thread! If you're hurting, dear, and you may well be, know that all of us agree with you. But sometimes we have to have a light moment or two.

I'm making turkey and trimmings, neighbors are bringing whatever they want, mostly vegetarian stuff. I'm inviting about 20 of my neighbors. You're invited, too! If you can make it, let me know what you're bringing, if anything.
Turkey, stuffing, gravy, cranberry sauce, green tomato relish
Mashed potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes (no damned marshmallows, either), broccoli, green salad, pea salad, tabouli
Coffee and tea. Cookies. Peach pie. Plum cobbler.

Actually my friends and I don't exchange gifts, other than some homemade stollen or fruit cake. After all, we can buy ourselves anything we really want, anyway, so gift giving is moot. And most of us have too much stuff anyway.
I do like giving treasure bags to little kids -- a very fancy little drawstring bag, maybe velvet with gold strings, and I put dollar coins in them and some xmas candy. Kids are just like anyone else, they like to get money as a present. I ask for dollar coins when I go to the bank all year long so I build up a little stash. But, this year, I'm not around any little kids.
