Yesterday I was browsing for cheap, formerly expensive jeans on Ebay and came across a listing for my current favorite brand. The description included something like, "I love these jeans but they don't fit," and the word "love" was hyperlinked. So I clicked on it and was taken here. Nothing like spreading Jesus' love through the resale of "new without tags" designer denim.
And then my sister sent me the link to the Local Paper's coverage of Catholic Schools Week. I went to Catholic school for eight years in that town and I don't recall Catholic Schools Week. Apparently the privilege of trading my plaid jumper for a pair of stirrup pants, slouch socks, and an oversized sweater for a day didn't resonate too much with me. If anyone can figure out what the fuck those "hush buttons" are all about and why 2/3 of the article is about them, I'll bake you some cookies or something.

About Me

- Hi my name is Gina. I like a lot of things. You will find them listed below, in alphabetical order for lack of a better order, mostly for my own web-surfing convenience. I also like my family, my friends, emotionally unavailable men, visiting people in far away places, taking pictures, dogs, my cats, sandwiches, long walks, Central Wisconsin, buying things on Ebay, reading books very very slowly, stressing myself out to the point of developing sleep and digestive disorders, and pilates.

I'd never heard of the hush buttons either, but found a site (http://www.chesapeake.net/patpress/feat1096.html) which describes "hush day" as:
"This means that no one can have a conversation with a member with the opposite sex all day. During designated periods, however, you can talk at the opposite sex in order to get their Hush buttons. The boy and girl with the most Hush buttons will wins a prize."
weird.
weird!!! i still don't get it.
"will lead right to sexing each other on the altar after getting drunk on sacramental wine"
ahh...now that brings back memories of catholic school!
I though "hush day" was the day the archdiocese writes handsome checks ("hush money") to victims of priestly "indiscretions" so they wouldn't go public. That must be called something else.
man, those kids really know how to have a good time.
Catholic school ultimately led to our corruption...how ironic. I had never heard of "hush buttons" either. However, as a teacher, I can see the benefits to the game. I am sure the "nuns" devised it!
