so true, Miz. There is one old sister at my hall who told some people I know that she is really thankful for the blessing of the phone hookup because she "isn't a morning person." No lie, man. And this doesn't even raise an eyebrow with the elders. Yet, every meeting they just gush on and on about our dear infirmed ones on the phone tie-in. A joke is what it is.
Yet let there be a social gathereing, she'll have a share in planning it, and will present for the entire affair.
HAHAHA yes!!! I remember this old fat sister when I was little who was supposidly a bedridden invalid. Yet every year when we had our corny "congregation picnic" she would be all working the huge BBQ grill, laughing it up and wolfing down potato salad. Every. Damn. Year. We'd be like "Mom, who is that?" "oh she's sister so-n-so, she's a shut-in" "she don't look shut-in to me".......
