Forgive us as we forgive our DEB-tors

I stole this off sweet Allison Wallin's blog--and it IS the best version of the Lord's Prayer I have ever heard. I love it love it love it. Can I just go ahead and adopt a little girl from somewhere in Asia? Angelina did it by herself...



For those wondering, I survived New York with little to no bruises.

Also good news: Due to Jefferson County's obscene sewer debt, our local government is asking that on a specified day in late April, the residents of Birmingham do the following:

1. Those with even street addresses flush only during even hours of the day, and those with odd street addresses flush only at odd hours of the day. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, our local government is regulating toilet flushing. Saturday Night Live would eat this for dinner. Wait, STEPHEN COLBERT would eat this for dinner. And dessert.

2. Put stoppers over every drain in the house for a day, as the sewer pipes will be blasted and thus releasing intense bursts of sewage bacteria into our homes and nostrils. They even suggested we place a plastic bag securely over our toilets and fasten it down.

Would anyone else be a smite concerned about this?

Is this for real? It has to be a joke.

Oh, you bet it's real. There are also community programs called "Leak Detectives" and "Young Water Ambassadors"

Read THAT and believe it. Every word.

ok - no one has commented on my future daughter up there. I love that little girl. She is presh!!!! If you don't adopt her, can I?

And about the flushing situation: have they consider adult diapers? No flushing at all is required there. ONly downfall is the disposal of the waste.

Just a thought. Who am I to make sure big decisions.
