1. But all that religious stuff comes along with being a nun
That's kind of a drag. Maybe you should just be a spinster.

33. Get a some girl cats that aren't fixed and let them wander outside.
That'll fix the 'not enough cats' issue.

2. My wife is a nun
Make sure you're 1st-order and Roman Catholic or it might not solve the problem.

6. Several years ago,
I needed to deliver flowers to a convent. It was simply the most gorgeous place I have ever driven in to. Gardens, grass, and the nuns looked so HAPPY! The happiness that I guess, only comes from not worrying about eyeliner and shaving!

I would like to visit for about a month, but I like um...certain activities too much to stay for long!

17. Seriously.

I almost fell over when my husband became secretary-treasurer for our local and was telling me about some of the professions we deal with. (OPEIU) When he got to the nuns, I couldn't help but think what a tough bargaining session THAT would be.

That's on a par with the hookers' union in the Netherlands.

9. Maybe you can be just like "Maria" from the Sound of Music?!
You know, be a flighty-flaky nun, then get a job as a nanny, teach your young Austrian charges to sing, make them play clothes out of curtains, and then marry the dashing captain/father.

Hey, it's a plan. :shrug:

27. He lived with his mom till he was 30, though. Gotta watch out for those types.
You'll never be as good as his mom-- she was a freakin' saint.

18. I am straight and can understand why anyone would hate guys
I don't like most guys... I don't relate well to them

not that being a nun is a terrible thing

but I bet there is some guy out there who doesn't fit the mold who will be perfect for you Ava!

:hug:

21. Hopefully you're kidding us!
Your still young so hating guys is part of growing up. I'm like a granny and sometimes I could wallop old guys if they look at me wrong!

24. I was in the seminary
Many years ago I was studying to be a priest but decided not to take the orders at the last moment, due to some personal reasons. However, I have often reflected that such a mendicant lifestyle could actually be quite refreshing.

36. Admit it...
You just got a hankerin' to whack a kids knuckles with a ruler if they act up in class or not keeping up. I went to first grade at a catholic school and it happened to me more than once.
