I can take Jameson, a nice Irish whiskey.

Oooh, yes. Now you're talking!
A glass of Jameson's with a large ice cube in. Nothing else. Bliss.[/QUOTE]

@annpats & @mickey2942 -- Lagavulin. Worth it; Jameson is very very good in this as well::

Grilled Whiskey Chops

And, @mickey2942 is also spot on about the family -- the teacher was likely not surprised.

Also agree that this kid may be back in the news -- or just sharing with buddies what the parents value.

Wine and "Takillya" are way different.

My grandmom who'd be 98 if alive. My mother is 82. I'm 62. All Catholic. None of us were ever offered wine during Mass. I've never been to a Catholic Church in my life where anyone, but the Priest drinks the wine during consecration. I'm sure it happens, but probably the Evangelical's. JMO

As for Altar Servers who used to be boys only it was a thing where they'd sneak some.

Imagine the health hazard all these people drinking out of one Chalice. The Quervo would probably get rid of germs though.

I'm Catholic and pre-Covid, alcoholic wine was offered during the communion service.

Oh the whole congregation would chuckle because we had a few guzzlers but most kids only sipped, playground time after was all love and peace!!!

Maybe the kid enjoyed a Margaritaville vacation with the folks

This is wild. Were the Churches I'd attended stingey? Most of them in Philly of course, and even when your Parish was "designated" by specific Nationalities that populated it. As in Joachim's the Polish Church. Or most any in South Philly the Italian Churches. None of them gave us wine. Attended Mass in NOLA. Jersey. New York.

Maybe they see me coming and say cut the wine today?

This turned out to be an enlightening thread. Thanks Cuervo kid.

I grew up in Protestant churches where we were served grape juice. So the first time I attended a Catholic mass I was surprised that it was wine. I was a young teenager, and I attended with one of my friends.

The drinking from the common cup grossed me out though, so I opted for the single-serve option. I whispered to my friend when I saw everyone was drinking out of the same cup, that I was not going to do that. He showed me how to signal the priest by discretely holding two fingers pointed down, and then the priest would offer me my own small cup.

After the mass he assured me that the alcohol in the wine killed any germs. I didn’t care, and I never participated in the common cup.

We were told that only Catholics could be given communion in the Catholic Church. This was when we went with other family members. I love the Catholic Church services, but have never converted. So when we went we could not take communion. Is this not true?

I think that is correct, and some have an announcement that only Catholics should partake of the communion. AFAIK especially at a wedding or funeral mass where many non-Catholics might be in attendance. Others don’t mention it.

I wouldn’t partake now if I was attending a Catholic mass, however in the past I suppose I didn’t know and the people I attended with although Catholic didn’t say anything about it.

I would like to know what age are these kindergarten children.

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

I would like to know what age are these kindergarten children.

Most 5-year-olds attend Kindergarten at least half days. Many school districts/schools now offer pre-K for 4-year-olds, and many Kindergarteners attend school full days when it's offered. Public schools usually charge a fee or have a tuition requirement for full-day Kindergarten programs.

Another thing I didn't know.

Then again I went to Communion before I made my Holy Communion. My girlfriends were older. We used to go to Mass together. Right up there I went one Sunday. When I told my mother she appeared to become faint. Then told me I was going to Purgatory. Was going to tell my Nun. Followed by the standard "If everybody jumped off the bridge would you too? "

Yes, I sure would. I'm not missing nothing.

Please pray for the souls in Purgatory.

I didn’t know this: A person who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain for at least one hour before holy communion from any food and drink, except for only water and medicine.

Before Vatican II, one had to abstain from food and drinks. I can remember having to sit in a starched dress, a hot church (no AC/fans), and a growling stomach. In those days the mass was in Latin.

I actually liked the Latin mass. I had studied Latin and mass was the only place I ever heard it being spoken. Church Latin sounds beautiful to me.

This discussion has me wondering how many kids have Mary Jane baked goods in their lunch boxes?

 

[Marg from Oz]

Oh Filly, I could swear you were talking about my mother. I remember eating some meat from the fridge on a Friday and my mother yelling "spit out, it's Friday".
I would have been going to hell if I swallowed it not purgatory. Those were the days.

Mom demands action after son gets marijuana gummy at Livonia charter school

Incident at Grand River Academy prompted an ER visit for the student and follows incidents of adult products passed around in other schools.

Krystle Hall was alarmed to hear the voicemail hours after her 11-year-old son had gone to school Monday morning.

A staffer called to tell her that Kamari, a fifth grader at Grand River Academy in Livonia, was given a marijuana edible and, on the advice of a poison control specialist, would be headed to a hospital.

Hall said she learned a classmate handed her son a drug-laced gummy but failed to inform him of the ingredients...

When I was in 5th grade, I did this home experiment with yeast, sugar and water. I put it in a soda bottle and put a balloon over the lip. The next day the balloon had expanded due to CO2. The house had a funny smell, but I didn't think anything of it.

I proudly brought my "show and tell" to school.
"You made beer!", "This smells like a brewery! "...on and on it went.

Heck, I was too young to even know that it was illegal for kids to have beer!

Finally, the teacher made me throw my successful experiment away! This was in 1966
