Ketchup
Sorry to have missed the major theological discussion. Minor points to add:
1. Some people believe one of the Marys (Magdalene or Mary the sister of Martha and Lazarus--Jesus was obviously close friends with both of these women, assuming they were different people) was Jesus' wife, and that the wedding at Cana (the site of Jesus' first miracle of turning the water into wine when they ran out) was likely his own wedding.
2. Mary Magdalene was only a whore if you believe she's the same woman who was taken in adultery (the famous "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" episode).
3. There were two different dinners with a Mary at Jesus' feet--one where a Mary (Magdalene?) washed his feet with expensive ointment, bathed them in her tears, then dried them with her hair, and another one where Mary talked doctrine with him while her sister Martha slaved away in the kitchen. In each case Jesus defended Mary--in the first instance from his disciples who said they should better have sold the expensive ointment to feed the poor, and in the second instance from Martha who would have liked some help in the kitchen.
This is just off the top of my head, but I can provide references if you wish.
On completely other notes:
a. I have someone clean my house every two weeks, and I have half the sf of TF (but paid considerably more--I live in the city). I tidy before she comes, so she can concentrate on the actual cleaning and so I can find things again later.
b. I too grew up with orange shag carpeting, in this case Halloween orange, in our downstairs family room. The upstairs carpeting was shag as well, but in a more restful sage/seafoam hue.
c. I can't believe I missed not just one but two opportunities to see Justin Guarini last night! I dreamed I was dating him a few nights ago--most lots of wild press-avoiding hijinks, and to my everlasting chagrin no fooling around of any sort.
