I was insecure and a born-again Christian hanging out with a group of kids that made me feel bad about showing my body, but now I’ve learned I shouldn’t be ashamed of what God gave me.

The body, and it alone, is capable of making visible what is invisible, the spiritual and divine. It was created to transfer into the visible reality of the world, the invisible mystery hidden in God from time immemorial, and thus to be a sign of it.

Dress can, of course, help to accentuate the sexual values in different ways - in different ways on different occasions, irrespective of the congenital or acquired dispositions of a particular individual. This accentuation of sexual values by dress is inevitable, and is not necessarily incompatible with sexual modesty. What is truly immodest in dress is that which frankly contributes to the deliberate displacement of the true value of the person by sexual values, that which is bound to elicit a reaction to the person as to a 'possible means of obtaining sexual enjoyment' and not 'a possible object of love by reason of his or her personal value'.

Our air conditioner is borked. It has ice all over it, as if it's trying to be that kid in the X-Men movies. Actually, it *had* ice all over it yesterday. In the heat of summer, it's all melted.

I called this in as an "emergency" yesterday and again this morning, and still nobody has come, so maybe the telephone thing doesn't work. So I'm re-submitting it online.

Or maybe our situation is not as much an emergency as I thought. Would it help if I said, "WE'RE ALL DYING FROM THE UNCOMFORTABLE TEMPERATURE," or maybe "LION ATTACK! THERE'S A LION IN THE SUITE!" followed some time later by "We got the lion, but he broke the air conditioner."?

Or maybe I must combine all the listed emergency problems: "Our only remaining toilet clogged due to the sink being clogged and causing a flood, which makes the electricity spotty, and the lock on the front door of the suite has taken one of us hostage so we need security, and also when in our maniacal haste to escape this horror, we broke through the glass door and hurled ourselves from the balcony, we damaged the exterior lighting... plus the air conditioner's not working."

Tragically, none of that is happening except the air conditioner. Nonetheless, we who are not in air conditioned offices do consider it a critical maintenance issue, so please send help soon, or let us know that it's not coming, so that we can crash somewhere else tonight. My room was frikkin HOT last night.
