The trip was great. I'm totally exhausted though. I went to two palaces/castles, visited 2 cathedrals, a monestary, 4 of the 11 "white villages" in southern spain. We saw Flemanco dancers and did lots of shopping and ate all the great stuff- empanadas from store fronts along the street, lamb kebabs at a Moroccan restaurant, carrot cake and cheese cake at the tapas place on my birthday, pastel de nada, postres of all kinds, especially filled with chocolate or Nutella. They serve cheese cake hot, which was unexpected, but delicioso!

Sounds like you had so much fun. But hot cheesecake? 🫤

Was TKEGuy happy to see you?

You know what’s funny about that? So, I can emulate my mom really well. Even she laughs and gets a kick out of it when I do. She’s got a heavy accent and I have it down packed.

WIFLSRN: How did we go from 74 on Friday to 19 this morning? Well, there probably won’t be a lot of people in church this morning so we can get out of there without being stopped and talked to for 40 minutes.

My initial reaction to the hot cheesecake was "what is going on here??" but it really was good! It had a delicious caramel sauce on it. My son got a cheesecake that had a caramel sauce that was so yummy too.

TKEGuy was very happy I was back. He'd been sick most of the week though so he definitely wasn't 100%.

I liked Frigiliana, Spain almost as much as I liked Mykonos when I was there. I think I was able to pass as Spanish and could probably pass as Greek also.

Yeah, you could easily pass for another ethnicity, even other than your Greek/Italian ethnicity because of your features and how dark your complexion is. You should do that to somebody and tell them you speak very little English. I’ll bet they believe you’re from another country, no doubt LOL.

Damn, I’m still tripped out at how early y’all go to church. If I’m looking at the time correctly, that was a little after 7am when you posted that. Work is one thing, but church? That’d be late morning for me. Like 11.

WIFLSRN: Today, at work, I was laughing SO hard. We had a new tech start today and we always play at least one joke on newbies. I taped a sign on the fecal centrifuge that said “NOW VOICE ACTIVATED - SAY “SCAN SAMPLE” LOUDLY TO BEGIN.” She was just standing there yelling at it, lol. Then my practice partner goes.. “You have to say “Hey Siri first””… HILARIOUS!

Yep, you could easily pass for Greek or Spanish, Dee. I totally agree.

Oh God, no. It’d be my luck that the people I do that to show up as new clients to my job with their pets saying “You look familiar. Oh wait, you’re the one with the accent. Your accent is suddenly gone.”

We go out to breakfast after church every Sunday. There’s like three services, but breakfast is why we go to the early service. And then, it also frees up the rest of the day.

Of course, it would be the "fecal centrifuge" machine you posted that on. Gross, lol!

I was reading the antichrist posts. Actually, the Bible doesn’t explicitly state that the antichrist will be good-looking. This is a common misconception, likely influenced by interpretations of other Biblical figures associated with deception and power.

Some assume the antichrist will be physically attractive because he will deceive many, and human nature often associates charm and beauty with influence. However, Scripture does not describe his appearance. Instead, it focuses on his deceptive nature, power, and charisma. It leans more into emphasizing his deceit, power, and ability to manipulate the world through lies. His appeal will be through charisma and deception, not physical attractiveness.

In a media-driven world where appearance holds significant influence, yeah, it’s likely the antichrist will present himself as polished, well-groomed, and highly charismatic. Whether or not he is conventionally attractive or not, his commanding presence, charm, and ability to captivate people will make him incredibly appealing and persuasive. That’s what it boils down to.
