God’ll Getcha for That, Walter

One of the famous lines from the 1970’s sitcom Maude starring Bea Arthur was “God’ll Getcha for That, Walter.” Now it appears God is getting me for poking fun at religious people.

Well, just as the fates would have it, I was typing away at a story about yet another difficult person I’d encountered this week, and the humorous story behind it. The short version is that a woman got angry because I couldn’t meet her in person to discuss a website design she wanted. I’m mostly an internet based company, so when someone wants a website design, I handle it via phone and e-mail.

So this woman got angry that I wouldn’t meet her, and started yelling, throwing a big fit over the phone. Instead of yelling back, I referred her to an anger management counselor in Nashville.

The reason this situation was particularly funny is because her website is for her new book, which promotes inner peace and harmony through God. Now isn’t it a little funny that such a “peaceful” woman was yelling and telling me off just because she didn’t get her way?

I guess I made one too many jokes about this woman and her relationship with God. Right as I was editing it to post, my modem went completely dead and I was without an internet connection.

Okay, I get the message, God. No more making fun of people. I’m really going to focus on the positive things, like I used to.

It’s usually, strangely and weirdly, that way. Whatever we speak against, is usually what we’re working on ourselves. Ick. Ugh.

LOL I remember that line from Maude and it is so true. All you have to do is watch The Amazing Race and you soon realize that karma will bite you in the butt!

BTW…saw your comment on About A Boy. And the point I have been trying to make to people (and that you stated) is that HIV/AIDS isn’t just a gay thing any more. I remember a billboard from awhile back that said, “If you think AIDS is a gay thing, you need to start thinking straight.” Yes, 1 in 20 people in DC is infected with the virus.
