So here I was going in to Raley's to get lunch for the day. It was early...and cold (not cold so much as mucking freezing! well freezing for Northern California) and on my way back to my car low and behold a very nice older woman comes striding across the parking lot. She was heading my way and all I thought was "crap, it's Thursday!". I had forgotten that the Raley's by my house is not a safe place for those like me on Thursday Morning. I had forgotten about the Thursday Morning Christers who hang out at Starbucks and litterally chase people to their cars asking if they would like a little something to read. I guess calling them Christers is not exactly appropriate...maybe Jehovahs. I think that is what they are but I try not to dally and encourage them to "show me the way". I of course simply said no thank you. No point in giving them false hope and even stars forbid encouraging them! My advice to everyone who wants to try and push their religion/beliefs on someone else...don't. Those around you may not appreciate it while you aren't doing it, but it is certain they will hate it when you do and you may lose a friend over it. So share your thoughts, feelings, religion, beliefs...cult fetishes, whatever! Just don't try to shove it down someone's throat and make them follow your path.
Now for those of you who know me and are worried that I wasn't going to Starbucks, fear not my friends! I got my fix at Raley's cafe. Next Thursday...I'm going to Safeway. At least they have a Starbucks inside and no "literature" outside!
