Kayaking equipment list

I've been studying my kayaking trip equipment list, and I'm wondering about something. Under "personal items," it says:

-toilet paper (include a plastic bag for packing out after use)

OK. Does this mean, if I go pee or poop in the woods, I have to pack out my toilet paper I wiped my butt with? And, does it also mean I have to pack out my poop?

It probably just means I have to pack out my toilet paper in a plastic bag, so it won't get wet.

I hope.

Gotta pack up the used toilet paper...the poop is "natural" and is okay to leave behind in nature, however the toilet paper is liter and you need to pack it up. Think how gross it would be if you found someone elses "used" toilet paper in the woods!

Just eat a lot of constipating carbs and lay off fiber 48 hours prior to your trip.

This post totally made me laugh out loud! I would have asked the very same questions... :)

I just got an email from REI and it had this link:

Draper: No, it's not a trip with REI, but it's the same thing with another company "Sea Quest Expeditions."

M: I promise I will not eat my FlaxPlus cereal before the trip.

Oh, and M, I think it would be gross to see someone else's TP in the woods, but I also think it's gross that I have to take it with me! :( Blech.

Baptists vs. Pentecostals? What's the Deal?

So, what's the deal between Baptists and Pentecostals/Charismatics? Why is it that these two groups allow the non-essentials (non-essentials to salvation, that is) to divide them? I grew up in a conservative, Baptist church. Certain "things" that Pentecostals did, were basically mocked and considered "evil/of the devil." Raising hands during worship? Forget it. Praying in tongues? ABsolutely NOT. As a kid, I remember watching African-American church services on TV, and being mesmerized by their enthusiasm in worshipping God. I wanted to worship like that - to fully express my emotion and love toward the Lord with other believers. After all, I LOVED Him! He was my closest Friend since I was about four years old. I WANTED to express my love to Him. Frankly, I found my church growing up to be very BORING. Grab a hymnal. Stand up. Sing a song. Sit down. Yawn.... When I turned 18, I was invited by Joe's mom, to attend a Foursquare church where I lived. Now, havin...

It's Thanksgiving again - yay

I have become less fond of Thanksgiving the last ten years. First of all, me, Joe and our kids usually end up doing it alone. No big event. No warm, large, extended family gathering. We used to have them. And, sadly, we had more when we lived states away from our extended family, because we would always be invited to share the holiday with friends or families from church. I have tried to invite people over (who might not have a place to go), and create a gathering, but that has never worked out. I have tried something out of the norm, and went to Old Country Buffet. Read last year's entry about Thanksgiving, and you'll see what a fiasco THAT was. This year, Joe's parents are still living in another state, my side of the family is somewhat estranged etc., and no one has invited us to join their extended family gathering. I thought about going and serving a meal at a homeless shelter or something. It's still a thought, but we'll probably just be alone again. We do, ho...
