I thought Mr Right was a mythical creature that only existed in the imaginations of the truly hopeful. Mrs Bemused told me that, so it must be right.

I've never been "best man" or "groomsman" at a wedding and definitely haven't been a "bridesmaid"

Like the analogy.

Was thinking the other day, the character that I identified with the most in the Bible when I was a kid was the Prodigal Sons brother. All the Prodigal Sons wandered off and did their naughty things and then wandered back (usually just before graduation) and hey presto a big celebration would be thrown in their honour. Meanwhile I was just being a goody two shoes, just plodding along in my doubting but well behaved way, to scared to put a foot wrong for fear of inuring the wrath of the father figures.
It always seemed to me that the Prodigal's brother got a bit of a raw deal and I didn't blame him for being annoyed about the fatted calf being butchered.

Ooops. I'm way off topic, just rambling reflective thoughts today.

Interesting point Bemused. I often felt for Prodigal's brother too. He was so devoted and did it all right. And in the end the selfish brother was given the royal treatment. Could be a good sermon. Will mention it to my bf.

Oh Mr Right does indeed exist.

He lives at my house.

He believes his full name to be Mr Always Right.

Ahh, but I still love him.

I had one of those once, traded him in for a better model. Don't tell me you rescued him and thought you could change him, nah, most of us have got a Mr Always Right, just a bit of pruning with the ole chainsaw tends to sort them out, if you know what I mean .

And I agree, I think the Prodical Sons Brother got a rough deal. Bet he got told to forgive and forget too.

I'm glad Mrs Bemused doesn't read this often. I'd hate her to get any ideas of what to do with a chainsaw .

Good point about the fatted calf, it really did get the worst deal, next reincarnation it probably asked to live with vegetarians .

Oh, how I love waking up to these comments about the fatted calf!

And how I do love my FE family: funny, compassionate and fiercely tenacious!

An amazing journey with an amazing group of fellow travelers!

Ha ha. I heard that the fatted calf was reincarnated and eventually it reached the highest calling, it got a greencard and went to live in America, where it decided to become a Mooshunary and went to the Moosouri Mooshunary Training Centre
There it studied the chronological teaching method, starting with the 5 books of Mooses.

Aussie, you are hilarious! (In a very sober sort of way! So proud of you!)
