What can I expect?

Does he respond well to baklava baiting?

You've absolutely got that right!!!

Nope. Too sweet.

He liked kourabiedes though (but he knocks off the sugar). He can be tempted by roast lamb though, and folks in our parish cook some of the best fish I've ever had.

He won't come to big dinners (he came to Pascha only the first year) because he says he doesn't want anyone to think he's only there for the food. And I usually bring him home stuff - they often send me with boxes for either him or for me. Last Pascha there wasn't so much lamb and he didn't get any. Maybe I need to stop giving him freebies and insist he come to get it!

We had lamb at our Petrovdan slava yesterday. Let me amend that---"everyone but gurney" had lamb LOL....Actually my wife and kids didn't either. Eck. But if it brings him to the church, play the lamb angle....hard!

I dangle it out there sometimes ...

That's pathetic!

That is the truth.

This is an inappropriate and unhelpful comment. You are in the Orthodox forum and he's asking specifically about the Orthodox Church.

As he never mentioned the orthodox church you will have to forgive me as I am not very good at reading between the lines.

You don't have to apologize to me.
It is usually taken that when you're in a specific forum that someone is talkibg about that specific group. It is easy to lose track of where you are.

Yes, that is a fact for me. Being old and realising the older I get the better I was, I lose track of which day it is.

That is the truth.

Only if you've been to the wrong churches

Everyone knows my husband comes for the food!

Are you as bored as I am? I've gained weight and I'm about to lose my mind. I'm ready to get some math on a whiteboard.

 

[gurneyhalleck1]

Have you been spying on my home!? Yep, weight's up. Sleep is funky. Lazy. Been working A TON on creating my own English book for my classroom and Teachers Pay Teachers. It's pretty amazing! I finished trimester one for my book. 69 pages. I'm doing the answer key right now. I still have to make the tests for it. Keeps me busy. Lots of church stuff recently. Little trips to the coast, etc. But mostly enjoying my wife being home and hanging out with my kids and Baxter, my Shih-Tzu. It's 100 degree plus outside, so no thanks to going out there!....except to swim!
