The Screaming Burqa
I have discovered that in a congregational setting, for those congregations who have a “bully network”, this network has two parts. Part one is of course those who engage in the bullying. Part two is the rest of the congregation, that overwhelmingly sits by, mute, as whoever is being bullied, gets “the treatment”. I believe both sides are equally culpable. Yet I feel the greatest disgust for the “part-two” folks who know better, but refuse to act because they fear being bullied themselves. And so they watch, always behind the cloak of “not wanting to cause trouble”. Dysfunctional cowardice.

Who Knew?
We finally had a chance to go to the Gulf Coast a few months ago. Husband found a great deal in a reputable hotel chain. It had been a long trip, we were tired, so we checked in and were changing for bed when we saw “it”. The loogy in the bathroom sink. Unmistakable. Big. Green.
So I cleaned it up, resolving diligence in traveling with more cleaning supplies in the future. Yes, we did inform the manager. But with family out of state and days away, it’s not a first “Ick-incident”, just the latest. Do you have motel/hotel stories?
