Yup.
Canadian preachers are known for the size of their libraries.
American preachers for the size of their cars.
That was before I was seduced by a Chrysler Concorde.

I guess Indy is off on some dangerous and harrowing mission.

How do your doors fit on your Concorde?
My claim to fame on that car lies in the fact that I was the Project Engineer for the door fab lines for the 1998 Intrepid/Concord.
If the door is gapped inappropriately, it must have happened in assembly!

I have a teenage driver in my house.
If anything is gapped inappropriately, it probably got that way post assembly.

I know! I have so many bad habits. Namely, using too many ....'s in my sentences, and prefacing nearly every statement with "I think" or "I don't think."

Well, that is just too weird - - I just don't understand why it's so hard to be different!

Here we go, just for fun.
Your only "bad" posting habit is that you're a perfectionist.
For proof I cite your two examples of "bad habits," neither of which are genuinely bad, and so insignificant that most wouldn't even notice them.
Also, you're way too pragmatic to use a second identity - - - You just wouldn't see any reason to bother. If you couldn't say it as MissBrattified - - - you just wouldn't say it.
BTW AFF doesn't have any better poster than its pragmatic perfectionist.

Re: How close should a pastor get to the members?
I know I am laughably easy to id for anyone who has been around a while, and I haven't made any effort not to be.
I did have a nick on NFCF that very, very few ever figured out without me telling.

Agreed!
MissBratt puts it out there in plain English and is so "right on" with every post!
