Yes, I'm off until Sunday night. I wanted Easter morning off.


Hi, Barbara!


TPBM celebrates Easter?

Lucresiare

Nope. I am not Christian.


TPBM will go somewhere special this weekend ?

PhoenixRising

Maybe to a movie.

Hey, you don't have to be a Christian to have a chocolate Easter bunny. They're for everyone.

TPBM is enjoying warmer weather?

Lucresiare

actually it is a bit colder than 2 weeks ago but it is ok

Oh you mean, will I have a piece of chocolate ? Yes, maybe a fair trade one.
These chocolate bunnies have nothing to do with Easter though, since Easter is a Christian celebration. This could be renamed, for instance "Cacao beans slaves celebration"

TPBM will tell me which tv show he's rewatching ?

PhoenixRising

Bates Motel. I'm actually leaving to do that watch in 30 minutes.

Well, there are always secular traditions as well as religious ones. A Christmas tree and Santa Claus don't have much to do with the birth of Jesus. Easter Bunnies and eggs have nothing to do with the crucifixion, yet we have them anyway. I like to think that anyone can have Christmas eggnog or a chocolate Easter bunny regardless of their background. Barbara Streisand recorded an entire Christmas album of non-religious Christmas songs, and she's Jewish.

TPBM has ever gotten a parking ticket?

Lucresiare

Nope.

I agree that Xmas trees and Santa Claus have nothing to do with Christianity so we could start calling them differently than Christmas trees. They could be just Winter trees, or solstice trees.
In France, Muslims groups have asked to forbid Xmas trees in state schools, because it is seen to be a Christian tradition . And since any religious signs have been forbidden in schools and administrations, it seems logical to forbid Xmas trees too...
Of course you can have a chocolate egg but it has nothing to do with Easter.

I wish a good creepy watch to TPBM then I am going to bed soon

PhoenixRising

Thank you! I think it will be.

Not even Xmas trees? Well, we also call them that because they're traditionally used on those particular holidays. No one paints eggs on Halloween, you know.


TPBM will have a good night's sleep?

BL.Arinna_1982

I hope so.

TPBM likes the weekends.

PhoenixRising

I would if I didn't have to work weekends.




TPBM is having a nice Easter?

Lucresiare

ok, though as you know I don't care about Easter

TPBM has seen that we have a new fan you introduced himself 5 years ago

PhoenixRising

I saw, and I said hello. I don't think he introduced himself 5 years ago, though.



TPBM has seen any of the Flowers In The Attic movies?

Lucresiare

I meant 5 days ago But what is time, if not an illusion

Yes I saw the first 2 ones you recommended me and pm me the links few years ago, but I am waiting for the 3rd one, has it be made ?

PhoenixRising

Oh, yes! I did! Thanks for reminding me. And yes, If There Be Thorns airs tonight at 8pm eastern time USA, and Seeds of Yesterday airs next Sunday.



TPBM forgot to ask a TPBM question?

Lucresiare

Yes I am useless you should me

TPBM will remind me how to subscribe to a thread to be told when it is updated ?

PhoenixRising

Sure! Go to the upper right hand corner of the thread page and click "Thread Tools." A short list should appear, then click "Subscribe to this Thread."

It's okay. We've all done it before.


TPBM has summer vacation plans?
