The “Society of Friends” is familiar to me, in that I attended a “Friends School” as a child from kindergarten to sixth grade.

“Quakers” are know for being pacifists.

A new convert might say, “I’m not ready to put down my sword.”

A congregant might say, “That is okay. Keep your sword as long as you think you need to.”

Literally: I’ve put two of my rifles up for sale, and one has sold.

Figuratively: I’ve stopped writing about mrsbill … AND … I’ve deleted photos from my hard disk that I would not be happy to show my mother. May she rest in peace.
