Short Funny youtube video - Automated Catholic Confession

The sisters would probably argue that your ES envoi - ""Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God..." all the best, Dave" is the result of their guidence.

And anyone who went to Catholic School would argue that it's IN SPITE OF their guidance. You want a good fighting pitbull, just let the nuns raise it. If I have kids of my own, they better keep their distance. Most of my classmates didn't turn out well at all.

Yeah, moose, did you have any of the nuns that wore the huge rosary like a belt then yanked it off to use as a cat of nine tails?

My legendary nickname I dished out was 'Sister Kathleen Marine.' Odd thing is she LIKED it.

IIRC they did have the Rosary beads, but never had one peel it off and use as described.

You are bringing back more memories.... my classes in that school were never under 60 students to a class! Those wooden desks with the metal bottoms screwed onto runners on the floor. No air conditioning. Cranky heating. We (the students) swept the room every day before going home and grated paraffin wax over the floor when done. Guess it was poor mans floor wax.

The principal taught 1/2 time and there was one secretary and a school nurse. Mom's volunteered for cafeteria duty. That was the complete staffing. About 1000 or 1200 kids total.

Blackboards were green and used chalk. We "clapped" erasers at the end of the day also before going home. I remember the day as 9 am to 3 pm. Walked to school, and walked home.

When we were kids in the summer we used to walk to our church for vacation bible school, and we had to go past a Catholic church and a Baptist church to get there. My big sister told us to watch out for the nuns at the Catholic church because they would hit you with a ruler if they got hold of you, but the Baptist church was considered to be much worse. Rumor was they had a little "swimming pool" underneath the altar where they would drown little kids while everybody watched! We usually ran past both of them!
