  • Are you kidding me?   I went to a Catholic School run by a Convent of old-school nuns.

  • yikes.

    I got the ruler across the knuckles a few times.   I have no idea where they got those things from but they were formidable weapons.

    I only know one nun from another site. And she could be a hard pill to swallow at times.

  • Somehow, someway I managed to always stay in Jean's good graces.  How?  I have no idea.   I found it very odd how she would scold and block people for minor things but never booed me for much, much more.

    She blocked me a few times only to unblock, but it was hard to ever take it personal.  I know that site was her whole life and she was up there in years.  I think she had a good heart, all and all.

  • True.   She just didn't appreciate people cursing or making off color remarks in her threads or replies to her.   She did have a slight chip on her shoulder with some people though it seemed.  Different worlds and centers I guess.

    It didn't take much to get on her bad side.
    You got lucky.

    I got blocked for having a different opinion on something.  I was surprised the first time she blocked because we never exchanged harsh words.  We both loved animals and sent each other virtual hugs.  Once I saw she was touchy with others, I just accepted her.  We all have our quirks.

    I think she blocked just about everyone at one time or another. But there were a few who weren't.

    She usually unblocked as fast as she blocked.  I think she knew she was touchy and feared a negative response more than wanted to unfriend someone.

    I used to feel sorry for her when people would strike back at her until I saw what she could really be like.
    I don't care how old people are that is no excuse to be a jerk.

    I didn't like my 8th grade teacher, Sister Ann Paul.  She hit me on my knuckles with a ruler.  She looked like the Wicked Witch of the West with her crooked nose!
    *SHUDDERS*  lol

    My mom warned me about the nuns in school, but I didn't listen. I guess I was rather stubborn back then!  lolz

    Haven't met a nun that close that I could say if I had empathy or antipathy towards them. We don't have a lot of them here.

    I see. Luckily I've never had a teacher based on their religion.

    From what I hear, you are better off not knowing any.

    Might be. I'm sure there are good ones too, but I would be stereotyping them right now with what I've seen in films. Not sure that's very flattering. Better not. Lol.

  • I can attest to that.   We had some mean old nuns in school but others were some of the nicest and most gentle women I've still yet encountered.   It was a strange dynamic in retrospect.
