[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 651880, member: 1963"] What do I do with a rosary I was gifted with today by a very Catholic neighbour. I am an atheist, so obviously won't be using it to pray with. I am thinking of donating it to one of the Catholic churches in town to be given to a child who doesn't have one. Do churches give out rosaries in those sorts of cases? It's very pretty. Sterling silver with hematite beads and a frighteningly realistic crucifix. Meanwhile, what is a respectful way to store the thing. Right now, I've got it wrapped in a bit of sheepskin to protect it from damage and stored in my my jewelry box. Second weird thing. My younger sister is off the wagon again. She drunk dialled me at 2:30AM, which is why I am still up (and stewing) at this hour of the AM. Near as I can understand things, she wants to move out of the horribly expensive studio in a ritzy suburb in which she is living and into a shared rental with the pothead "artist" boyfriend she has been seeing since before her divorce from brother in law was final. The problem here is that for them to swing the rental, her name has to be on the lease. Her credit is awful. She needs a co-signer. My mum can't do it, not due to bad credit, but due to too high a debt load to qualify. I can do it, but am risking my own ability to move downstate if she defaults. Plus, I have NEVER cosigned for ANYONE; it's been a lifelong policy of mine not to cosign. When I explained that to kittle sister, I got hit with the "if you loved me, you'd help me out." Sister makes good money, but is way behind on bills and carries an appalling debt load. I don't do guilt trips at all well. In fact, they anger me. [/QUOTE]
