When you get on the Internet a lot there are a few things that you learn real fast. One is don't talk to strangers, or people stranger than your self.
Two is always say no when they ask if you want to see their picture.
Three is always be upfront and say so if your a Christian.
My yahoo messenger is always on and I follow those rules with almost no exceptions. Today I chatted with a male, whom I initially thought was female. She (who was really a he) popped up and said that she (he) had seen me on one of my knitting groups. Ok, that sort of made her (him) not a stranger, didn't it? Then after a bit of knitting talk, that made me more comfortable, she (who was really a he) said why don't you go look at my yahoo profile so you can see my latest knitted sweater.
That is when I find out that she is a he and he does an excellent job of knitting sweaters. A few general conversation questions and I find out that he is from Germany and he finds out I am from Texas. He also finds out I am a very very very conservative Christian. Let me stress that I wrote Very three times in my response to his questions about me being a Christian. Rule number three is covered, or so I thought. After a few more minutes he asks if I want to see his project on the needles. (Dummy, dummy, dummy) I said yes thinking that it would be another wonderful sweater. So he does the picture sharing and as the picture loads he says that he knits his own underwear. Luckily, he knits long john type of underwear. Dang, that boy can knit. After he asked if I wanted to see another picture of one of his latest projects, I said, sure if it is only of of the sweater. He becomes all offended that I did not want to look at his underwear. I said that I was very conservative and if that offended him than perhaps we had better not chat anymore.
I think that suited him just fine. He told me I could keep my Baptism and he would keep his world.
I WIN !!!!!!! yeppee I get to keep my Baptism. (that would be sarcasm)
Never forget
Rule #1
Rule #2
and Rule #3
But in the end I did get to keep my Baptism.
