For those who posted to my previous thread, I have a funny update...

I don't know how to copy and paste the link to my last thread from my phone, but I had to share an update.

I was out sick from work yesterday and returned this morning, only to be greeted shortly thereafter by my non-family friend coworker (whose office is right across from mine) with some homemade tea cakes she'd baked. My husband, who's desk is around the corner from my office, said that the family friend had treated him a but weird on Monday, basically ignoring him; we're used to being treated like her second and third children. Anyway, I thought it odd that my coworker across the hall baked (she doesn't like to bake) and when my husband and I together ran into the strange-acting family friend in the hallway, we were basically ignored.

We decided to test the cookies I'd received. Lol we have concluded that those two may have spiked the batter with holy water! We say this in jest, but it wouldn't surprise either of us.

We thought it would be pretty funny to see what you all think those cookies may have been laced with.

Have fun!

1. Oh god.

And Oh holy water.

This is really odd, and I think that I would make them eat a cookie before I ate one. Do they think that holy water will burn you? Or maybe convert you. As long as they are willing to eat a cookie first, enjoy them. And show them that the power of reason is stronger than the power of god......and if god is stronger, let us know what group you start posting to so we can keep up on your conversion.

2. My husband and I actually just went for it

We figured they wouldn't poison us because everyone would know where I got the cookies. We did the smell test, the lick test, the oops I spilled crumbs in my lab coat pocket and sneak a sample off to the lab test. I didn't do any actual lab testing though. Just wanted to see her reaction. Nothing.

But my husband said the first thought in his head was holy water. That was mine too.

I'll probably only post in this group in the near future. GD seems to get everything covered before I even get to it. I am actually digging the A&A vibe here. I wouldn't dare waste my time in the religion groups.

Oh and I hope they weren't planning on seeing any burning flesh or smoke coming out of my ears. Nothing happened. Weird ladies!

5. Yep, this group is a good place to hang out.

So are a lot of other groups, depending on what your interests are.....mine are pets, gardening, fiction and frugal living. And of course, weird news gives me laughs. I know that all of the groups I post in are friendly and easy-going. Not like Religion. And I know what you mean about GD....too many people talking too fast. And always someone trying to piss someone else off.

I find it hilarious that your coworkers may have baked cookies with holy water. Glad you survived the exorcism.

6. Thus far, I've also subscribed to Texas,

Weird News, Frugal Living and Cooking & Baking, along with a few others that I don't even check often enough to remember.

Well I did not see the family friend today, so maybe she's hoping the blessed tea cakes will have an effect after a few days.

7. LOL.

In a few days, they will be shit.

3. Did they use Christian Salt?

I'd hate to think it was Kosher

4. Good grief!

Lol these people will try to market ANYTHING as Christian. I would not at all be surprised if any if her ingredients were blessed.

Still an atheist though.

8. Boy..I would have had some fun with that whole deal. About a hour after eating one..

9. That, or...

flail around, cry out about BURNING inside, and look them right in the eyes screaming "WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!?!"

Fun times.

[BlueJazz]

11. Oh Yeah..That's good !

[TxDemChem]

13. That would have been hilarious!

12. I thought about pretending to choke

And falling out on my office floor or in the hallway, but I figured the big wigs and our health and safety group would not find it funny.
