Hmmm...has anyone checked the season standings lately?!?!? :-) SUNS are on fire!!! 7-1 Last nights game with the Philly's was awesome. Oh yeah, did I mention that the SUNS are number 1 in the west? Tied with Boston in the east? AND they did that on the road!!! Looks like they will be spreading the heat to your boys on Thursday...can't wait! :-) Just a little friendly trash talking! :-)

Thanks so much for sharing Ben, these were awesome. I read them at work, (during lunch of course!) and I was totally laughing out loud with no one around that would understand why they were so funny. I will never eat a peanut butter cup the same way again! Of course, Richard G Scott's was my favorite, with President Monson's a close 2nd.

Awesome Pammy! I have been where you are twice...and hope to be there again soon! Don't ever back slide, you'll be up to your knees in muck faster than you thought possible!

I have to admit that although I think that is totally gross, I had to laugh out loud about it. Maybe that is because I am in a singles ward and never think about little children. I try very hard to concentrate on the atonement and the Savior during the sacrament, and find watching others distracting, so I guess that is a good thing for me, as I never have to think about who is taking the sacrament with which hand.

Awww...thanks Sheep! That was really sweet. I had awesome people here for me when I was the new kid in town too, two of which have already posted. A lot of the uplifting stories I have sent you were sent to me by Ben years ago. This site is a great place and I am glad that you have found friendship and support.

As Latter Day Saints, we have something known as the Articles of Faith and the very first one is: 1 We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. To read more about the Articles of Faith, you can go here: Articles of Faith 1

We are having a parade here in Phoenix today as well! Shaq is OUTTA HERE!!!!! :-)

I LOVE that book!!! I'm glad you liked it too. :-)

Congrats to your boys! :-)

(((HUGS))) to you Rachelle. You are in my prayers.

Congratulations!!! What an awesome day that must have been for you!

Absolutely Beautiful little brother, well done! :-)

You are a very thoughtful sister-in-law! I forget how old your son is, but if he is talking, practice saying your bil's name with his picture a few times a day so that when your BIL gets home, your son will be able to say his name!

Just for you Doc, and only because my boys failed to even show this year, GO LAKERS! :-)

I have no advice, just hugs and prayers for you and your son. The strength you have showed here on the boards the last few days is amazing. Your commitment to your family is nothing short of inspiring and you are truly a wonderful example of what a daughter of Heavenly Father is.

Price went up....$100.00 in unmarked bills AND a couple of Diablo Verdes at Los Hermanos should keep my fingers still....

I did! Honest! (No I didn't! See what I mean about these darn fingers saying stuff?) About the rumors, I heard that Ben Raines was supposed to represent the US in the 1980 Olympics on the Weightlifting Team and cried himself to sleep every night for a week after the US Olympic Boycott was announced.

WAVE? I came to the station to invite you to lunch, but you weren't there! *LOL*

Um...yeah....did I mention that while my lips shall remain sealed, I have no control over what my fingers might do? Sometimes they just have a mind of their own...tap tap tapping on the keyboard...rambling on about this and that.....:D:D

ESFJ - The Caregivers Extraverted 56% Sensing 38% Feeling 50% Judging 33% Woohoo, me and Truegrits! J

Hmmmmm Pammy, send $100.00 in unmarked bills to the address I am sending you in a private message and my lips shall remain sealed! J BTW… Luke 8: 10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Pammy, feel free to edit if you feel the need!

*HUGE HUGS* for you. I am sorry that you have this to deal with as well. Please try to remember that even if you have the same struggles as your dad, YOU are not HIM! YOU did not make the same choices he made as a husband and father. YOU are not the cause of your parents problems. YOU can make the choice to lead a very different life than the one he has lead. YOU can get through this. I have faith in YOU!

Whether you think you can't or think you can, you're right. I just happen to believe that you CAN. Good job dear brother, good job!

Congrats on the Feb 26th win. Wanna trade Snak for Kobe?
