Apparently you are very sensitive to noise Joyce. I've heard you comment on it repeatedly. Are you sure you grew up in an Italian family? Italian families are not known for being as quiet as mice. ;)Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156010004467129157.post-48787852107970556222012-02-11T06:31:47.204-06:002012-02-11T06:31:47.204-06:00Yeah, too bad New Freedom is 2 and 1/2 hours away....Yeah, too bad New Freedom is 2 and 1/2 hours away. :(<br /> However, for ten years we had a woman who drove from the other side of Baltimore-an hour's drive- EVERY Saturday night for the 2am hour.

I ...Wow Julie, is your chapel anywhere near Phila? I might consider your offer. It is the same here, it's the men who do the yakking. Plus, I hate to be so cynical, but the one big offender lives around the corner from me and I worry that he's watching me to see what time I'm going, not for nefarious reasons but because he doesn't like to be in the chapel alone. I guess there is a double benefit, if that's the case - to help him in his loneliness and the Lord in His.<br />Thanks for the comment :)<br />JoyceTLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05699746979019393620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7156010004467129157.post-32596361290474028862012-02-10T19:49:42.162-06:002012-02-10T19:49:42.162-06:00Oh, gosh, Joyce, that's awful!
I wish I could ...Oh, gosh, Joyce, that's awful!<br />I wish I could offer you one of the many openings we currently have at our Perpetual Adoration chapel. It'd be interesting to see if they'd show up at 3am!<br />(A lot of our late-night slots are held by nurses, by the way.)<br />We had to resort to posting a sign in the chapel that prohibited unnecessary conversation. Oddly enough, I've noticed that it's the men that tend to be chatterboxes.<br /> Then there's the parish custodian, who is apt to show up at any time with the world's loudest vacuum cleaner to clean up the salt tracked in from the icy sidewalk. It sounds like the machine is pulverizing gravel, or he's running one of those toddler "corn-popper" push toys. Oy.<br />I always try to sit as close to the front as possible. It seems to be easier to ignore the turbulence if it's going on behind you.<br />I'm sure Our Lord knows how much this bothers you and loves that you continue anyway.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600512093922807813noreply@blogger.com
