Guest Posted April 17, 2013 Report Posted April 17, 2013 Ahh. Okay. It's the same as Petting then, right? Sometimes, I just can't get my arms around English. Man, it's kinda uhm, wierd... to make out in church grounds, let alone the chapel! That was one of the cool things about the Catholic church - you can't really make out in the pews without having Jesus hanging on the cross staring at you or any one of the other saints. LOL. Quote

LOL.No, making out is not petting. Making out is pretty much just open mouth kissing. Petting is done while making out. Petting is touching private areas over and under the cloths. Quote
mirkwood Posted April 17, 2013 Report Posted April 17, 2013 What about fur? Is petting fur okay? I mean my cats really like the attention that provides them. Quote

They just tolerate it because they think it makes you feel better. Now, petting dogs is a different matter... they would die a fiery death just to get a few pettings now and then. Petting dogs is definitely okay. But not in the chapel. Quote

(Snogging = Making Out = Petting)Snog, having a snog, were snogging. Making Out comes from the question "How did you make out with him/her last night?" English, the language of diplomacy. So vague, convoluted, and full of euphemism & multiple meanings that no treaty is safe and no lawyer is hungry Man, it's kinda uhm, wierd... to make out in church grounds, let alone the chapel! That was one of the cool things about the Catholic church - you can't really make out in the pews without having Jesus hanging on the cross staring at you or any one of the other saints. LOL.My saintly grandmother had a wild youth. A flapper in the 20s, she attended mass & confession a minimum of twice a day. Whenever I watch "A league of their own" when Mae is making the Priest drop his bible 4 times in the confessional, I think warmly of her. Prim, proper, and correct long before I was born... (Widowed, raised 5 kids on her own). She continued her twice daily masses, although went considerably longer between confessions. She was hugely influential in the Chicago Cathloic church for decades by the time of her death. But when she was young, she was extremely wild. She recommended escaping the gaze of the Cruxificion & saints by making out in the confessional. As it served dual purpose (privacy & convienece). Face palm. Oh. She related that tidbit during tea with the Monsignior & Bishop one afternoon. I about died. Quote

I don't know about your old parish but at my parish the pews are EXTREMELY uncomfortable, besides Jesus and the saints staring you down... Quote
Guest Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 Right!? I don't know about your old parish but at my parish the pews are EXTREMELY uncomfortable, besides Jesus and the saints staring you down...The pews in the ginormous Catholic Church next to our little Ward have the cushioned pews... with the cushioned kneelers. I can imagine... wait, no. I refuse to imagine. LOL. Quote

Iggy Posted April 18, 2013 Report Posted April 18, 2013 No. It's definitely not okay when you're talking about cats. You know very well that cats do not want to be petted.

Petting dogs is definitely okay. But not in the chapel.Seriously Anatess - not all cats are that way. I have two. Brother and Sister. Fred loves to be petted, cuddled, and squooshed behind you on the chair or sofa. He head butts me until I lift my arm so he can be *hugged* to my side. He will flip on his back, put his head into my hand and purr like the engine of a 747. BUT if you pick him up and nom, nom,nom his belly - he will run off as soon as you let go of him. Husband has noted that when I do this to Fred, he may run off but he has drooled enough to sink the battleship! Fred loves to have me nom, nom, nom the top of his head and neck - but NEVER the belly. Oh, and he smells just like a kitten though he is 11 years old! I absolutely love his scent. Now his Sister Ethel is a different story all together. She wants to be held, snuggled, petted and loved ~ but she is so dang timid that she won't get up on your lap, or next to you on the sofa or chair so that you can love her. BUT she will embed herself on the ottoman when you brush her with the DOG brush. Yep - it has to be a dog brush and not the wimpy cat brushes, and you better brush hard and with feeling! Ethel doesn't smell as good as Fred. Can't figure that one out.The longest I can go in one sitting is three hours. Then my arm falls off! The Chapel is NOT a place to be *making out* - their Bishop needs to be told of their actions and BOTH of them need to realize the wrongness of what they were doing. If they can't restrain, then get married and confine it to their own home. I have been in a Branch longer than I have ever been in a Ward - thus our Chapel is a multipurpose room. Don't have stationary pews - we have interlocking padded chairs. The older I get the less I care what others think of what I am wearing. Sometimes dresses/skirts are just NOT comfortable. I wear them mainly because I don't have any slacks that are more comfortable without being old, worn and overly baggy. In Casa Grande I wore slacks to church on Sunday. When it was the season for deluge of rain, winds that blew heavy cars around, and dust ('em actually it was dirt!) storms that took the paint off of everything - I wore pants (nice slacks) so that my tush would not be exposed.
