OK, I finally thought to make sure the landline phone was plugged in. It was driving me crazy ringing a couple of days ago, and I forgot to plug it back in.

Hopefully the delivery person didn’t try to call already, or at least would try back. Looks like they’re probably running late (with a couple of minutes left in the delivery window), but at least I’m not planning on going anywhere.

Reminded these were there, while I’m waiting for the delivery to show up 🙄

@kelpforestdweller – I know, right? Really wasn’t expecting that. It would also let me change/cancel the order up until 12:45 the same afternoon. I guess not that many people had booked deliveries for Saturday night, which is a little surprising too because weekends. Definitely would have expected them to require earlier advance ordering. Good to know for future reference.

@natalunasans – That really does suck :/ One of the good things about living in the inner burbs here: multiple supermarket delivery options. Surprised when I moved here. I suspect there’s been better availability for years because there are a lot more people without cars (ETA: packed into a relatively small geographic area), but still. That sounds really frustrating if you have stores that close which do delivery to other neighborhoods 😐

READ THIS

The article can be found online instead of screenshotted here: http://www.xojane.com/sex/true-love-waits-pledge and a few other places

If anyone is interested in related reading about toxic Purity Culture in Evangelical Christianity, I’ve read a lot over the years and can easily point you in whatever direction is most relevant for you.

I’m an atheist who was formerly Catholic and also I’m asexual so none of this has ever been as personal an issue for me but I know a lot of people for whom it’s a huge deal.

I had basically zero exposure to any of this growing up, and didn’t hear anything about it until I was in college and got to be friends with a couple of people who were raised in that type of Evangelical atmosphere. And yes, they were struggling with a number of things, not least some of the baggage around sexuality.

From the outside, at least, it’s really not hard to see how living under those expectations could mess people up but good in ways that it’s hard to recover from. It’s disturbing how many people have been convinced that this is anything but creepy, especially where kids are involved.
