Dear Faldage: Since I am retired, I don't make house visits. Did you forget to take the tinfoil off the rectal suppository?

Dear Faldage: I take 80 mgm acetylsalicylic acid q AM, Allegedly reduces risk of myocardial infarction, and also cancer of colon. But I used to get adverse reaction from usual doses. Can't understand why 80 mgm does not cause symptoms. So give your assburn to someone else.

This is getting a little too serious for something as ridiculous as different nor. I'm leaving this arena while I've still got toes to get sand between.

But once you leave the arena, there is no sand to get between your toes.

As a Carmelite Secular maybe I can help here. Secular means "in the world" as opposed to cloistered, "religious," etc. For instance, in my Discalced Carmelite Order, there are three memberships: the friars and nuns, both of which are "religious" and the lay, third order, or secular (all mean the same thing), which are not "religious" and do not live in community but live out the charism of the order "in the world." So in ecclesiastical language, secular means of or in the world.
Interesting aside: in the Gloria, "in saecula saeculorum" is said in the English western version as "world without end." I believe Byzantines translate it as "unto ages of ages."

what is the charism of the order in the world? How does it express itself in your life?
do you have a vocation to teach, or be a nurse? I was a catholic, but no almost nothing about the Carmelites--aside from Our Lady of Mount Carmel church (bronx)-- and that most carmelites are cloistered. (As distinct from semi cloistered order-- like the ursalines. Semi cloistered orders limit their time out of the convent, and never travel alone. and what is the term for non cloistered orders? there are orders that have fewer restrictions on movement.. and nuns can live in groups out side a convent proper.. i remember meeting some nun who where missionaries --to a school in the south bronx. they had a small apartment in the nieghborhood, and lived quietely, but not in a convent.

Did you forget to take the tinfoil off?Dr. Bill, my Dad's a pharmacist, and one of his all-time favorite stories is about a guy who came in complaining about the suppositories he just purchased, said they didn't work, and that, what's more, they were just adding immensely to his pain and discomfort. And my Dad said, "Well, did you take the foil off?" and the guy said, "What foil?"  I'm NOT making this up!
