  1. On your internet, people can be anyone they want to be. These sound like they were made by anti's who are claiming to be members to try to pull more people away from the church.
  2. I have weird dreams all the time. One when I was about 6 or 7 years old, I had a dream that I got out of bed and opened my bed room door. Standing at the end of the hallway was a pegasus wanting me to get on it and ride. So I did, but then as we were leaving, I had this feeling that I had to make a choice. Stay on the pegasus and not see my parents or brother again for a very long time, or return back to my bed. I choose to return to my bed, then I woke up. Another one I was being chased by some group of people. I was in the mountains, and I knew the group wanted to kill me because I refused to deny Jesus Christ. I found a very small cave that I slipped into and they didn't see me go in, they moved on. Then I woke up. Another one I was on some other planet where there were no such thing as cars although they had electricity and all the other modern conveniences like cell phones, etc. I was a missionary in this one, and we had a specific area we were allowed to stand and tell others about Jesus and the plan of salvation. There were no Bibles, only Book of Mormons - but I was not allowed to open the Book of Mormon. It was a little bit thicker than ours. Another one I am in this wonderful mansion. I knew it was my family's mansion and I mean huge family going back to Jesus' time I think. I walked around inside, there was a movie theater, a fancy french restaurant, at least 1000 bedrooms (I didn't count, lol), an indoor swimming pool, and a huge backyard with the best play equipment I have ever seen. Then I had this feeling to go to a specific room, so I did. There was a little girl there who was hiding in the darkest part under a desk. I could just feel the dark presence in this room. But I knew I had to encourage the girl out and teach her about Jesus to dispel the darkness in the room. Once she came out and accepted Jesus, the room just lit up and there was no shadows anywhere. Then I woke up. Back when I was literally working full time and going to college full time, I wasn't getting much sleep. Work 10pm to 6am, then classes from 8am to 4pm, and sleep 5pm to 9pm. During that time I had several dreams of me driving, falling asleep at the wheel, and waking up literally a second before crashing into someone in front of me, a concrete barrier, or a building.
  3. As someone currently living in south-east Texas, I can tell you that if - and that is a bug if, if it rains there will be thousands to millions of people out in the streets dancing and enjoying the rain. It seems like our news stations here spend half the broadcast talking about the drought. They mention this drought could continue well into next year and perhaps the year after
  4. That's as bad as what some people try to do here in the states: Man buckles in 'Diego' doll to drive in HOV lane | abc13.com
  5. I'm graduating from college with my bachelors degree this December. I've asked my parents for a tablet as a graduation gift. But I haven't decided which tablet to get. How does the Asus Transformer compare to other tablets out there like the iPad2, Samsung Galaxy, Toshiba Thrive, etc? I am wanting something I can download e-books from Amazon.com to read and highlight/add notes as I read, has wifi and 3G connections, and is easy to transfer documents between my laptop and the tablet.
  6. Help Wanted A local business was looking for office help. They put a sign in the window, stating the following: "HELP WANTED. Must be able to type, must be good with a computer, and must be bilingual. We are an Equal Opportunity Employer." A short time afterwards, a dog trotted up to the window, saw the sign, and went inside. He looked at the receptionist and wagged his tail, then walked over to the sign, looked at it, and whined. Getting the idea, the receptionist got the office manager. The office manager looked at the dog and was surprised, to say the least; however, the dog looked determined, so he lead him into the office. Inside, the dog jumped up on the chair and stared at the manager. The manager said, "I can't hire you. The sign says you have to be able to type." The dog jumped down, went to the typewriter, and proceeded to type out a perfect letter. He took out the page and trotted over to the manager and gave it to him, then jumped back on the chair. The manager was stunned, but then told the dog, "The sign says you have to be good with a computer." The dog jumped down again and went to the computer. The dog proceeded to enter and execute a perfect program that worked flawlessly the first time. By this time, the manager was totally dumbfounded! He looked at the dog and said, "I realize that you are a very intelligent dog and have some interesting abilities; however, I still can't give you the job." The dog jumped down and went to a copy of the sign and put his paw on the sentences that told about being an Equal Opportunity Employer. The manager said, "Yes, but the sign ALSO says that you have to be bilingual." The dog looked at the manager calmly and said, "Meow!"

  8. How to Train a Cat Our young daughter had adopted a stray cat. To my distress, he began to use the back of our new sofa as a scratching post. "Don't worry," my husband reassured me. "I'll have him trained in no time." I watched for several days as my husband patiently "trained" our new pet. Whenever the cat scratched, my husband deposited him outdoors to teach him a lesson. The cat learned quickly. For the next 16 years, whenever he wanted to go outside, he scratched the back of the sofa.
  9. Washing Your Cat Some people have the misconception that cats never have to be bathed. That somehow they "lick" themselves clean. Well contrary to this popular belief, cats do NOT have some enzyme in their saliva that resembles Tide (with or without bleach). Cats, like their nemesis, the dog, do get dirty and have a variety of odors, from smelling like the outhouse where you camped last year to the same odor as your dog's breath. (Remember, your dog will try to eat anything.) Now we all know that cats HATE water. And we know that giving the cat a sedative to ease this process of a bath is out of the question. So, the best approach is both sneaky and direct. Remember now, this is not the dumb dog who can be led to tub with lies and a trail of Kibbles and Bits. Although your cat has the advantage of smarts, quickness and total lack of concern for you, you have the advantage of size, strength, and the ability to wear protective garments. 1. First, dress for the occasion. A 4-ply rubber wet suit is suggested, along with a helmet, face mask and welders gloves. 2. A Bathtub with a glass enclosure is preferred to the one with a shower curtain. A frenzied cat can shred one of these in about 3.5 seconds. 3. Have the Kitty Bubbles and towel in the enclosed bathtub area before hand. No, blow drying the cat after the bath is not suggested. 4. Draw the water, making it a little warmer than needed as you still need to find the cat. Position everything strategically in the shower, so you can reach it even if you are face down or prone in the tub. 5. Find your cat. Use the element of surprise. Pick the cat up, nonchalantly as if you were simply carrying him/her to the supper dish. No need to worry about the cat noticing your strange attire, the cat barely notices you anyway. 6. Once you and the cat are inside the bathroom, speed is essential. In one single liquid motion, shut the door to the bathroom, step into the shower, close the sliding doors, and drop the cat into the water. While the cat is still in a state of shock, locate the Kitty Bubbles and squirt whatever part of him is above the water line. You have just begun the wildest 45 seconds of your life. Remember that cats have no handles and add the fact that he now has soapy fur. His state of shock has worn off and he's madder than a wet hornet. 7. As best, you can, wearing welder's gloves, try to field his body as he catapults through the air toward the ceiling. If possible, give another squirt of Kitty Bubbles with his body now fully exposed. 8. During the 5 seconds you are able to hold onto him, rub vigorously. No need to worry about rinsing. As he slide down the glass enclosure into the tub, he will fall back into the water, rinsing himself in the process. 9. Only attempt the lather and rinse process about 3 times. The cat will realize the lack of traction on the glass by then and will use the next attempt on the first available part of you. 10. Next, the cat must be dried. No, this is NOT the easiest part. By this stage, you are worn out and the cat has just become semi-permanently affixed to your right leg. We suggest here that you drain the tub and in full view of your cat. reach for the bottle of Kitty Bubbles. 11. If you have done step 10 correctly, the cat will be off your leg and hanging precariously from your helmet. Although this view of the cat is most disgusting, he will be in a much better position for wrapping the towel around him. 12. Be sure cat is firmly wrapped in towel before opening tub enclosure. Open bathroom door, put towel wrapped cat on floor and step back quickly, into tub, if possible, Do not open enclosure until all you can see is the shredded towel. 13. In about 2 hours it will be safe to exit the bathroom. Your cat will be sitting out there somewhere looking like a small hedgehog while plotting revenge.
  10. In my ward the annual Ward Christmas service project activity and the annual Halloween get together are the only activities we still had. There have been no other ward activities planned.
  11. Don't ya'll think it is possible that God can make it so that our eyes will not be able to see rainbows when that time comes. The rainbows are still there - but our eyes are blinded so that we cannot see the rainbows. I was once talking with a high priest about the sun when I was a youth and he made a very interesting comment. He said that because of the veil, we cannot see the true nature of the sun. We only see the sun in the way we can today because God has allowed to only see what we can see, but not see the true nature of the sun.
  12. Since we moved in 2008 to our current house, we have not had a landline. We've been a cell phone only family since 2008. We have also received 0 telemarketer calls since then. The only thing I find so frustrating is on the church records we have my husband's cell number on his name and my cell number with my name and our daughter's name... but anytime someone wants to call to talk to me - they call my husband's number instead of mine. We have told the individuals as well as the clerk to help clear it up all to no avail.
  13. I'm not too far from you... although I'm not in the KW area. I'm NW of Harris County just outside of Harris County.
  14. I think a lot of it is in the missionary work here in Texas. We moved into our current ward in 2008. Shortly after we moved in, the ward split into (our city) 1st ward and (our city) 2nd ward. Then in mid to late 2010, a nearby stake was split and our stake was effected - as was our ward.
  15. The only advice I have it to say a private prayer before you leave your house for the hearing. Ask Heavenly Father to help guide you as well as the stake president and high council in the way of wisdom and that the stake president and high council will do what is best and in God's will. Congratulations :)
  16. In Houston here, there is no way to tell if it's a land line or cell - unless you know the person and know if it's their cell or land line. We have to dial the area code - even if we are calling our next door neighbor. Then with the next three numbers... you can't tell. An example - when my parents used to live here (they moved out of state a year ago), their land line number after the area code was 435 and their cell number after the area code was 435. The last 4 digits were different for each of course... but they did have their land line routed to the cell phone so if someone called the land line and there was no answer, then the phone company routed the call to their cell phone. My husband and I do not have a land line... we have Uverse with the wireless internet and TV... but no land line. We don't see a point in a land line when we can be reached on our cell phones at home or out.
  17. Waxahachie is about 4 hours from Plantersville in Texas
  18. My mom and I have a close relationship - I can talk to her about anything and everything. Now if it is a certain friend of mine - sometimes I do that... I tell her I'm driving and that I'll call later when I'm not in the mood to talk to her. This is a friend who is a bit crazy. She honestly believed the fires that were near Plantersville, TX (where the Renaissance Festival is held each year) was caused my God because of the people who run the Renaissance Festival were doing witchcraft. I don't know if any of you have seen the Hairspray movie... but this friend of mine reminds me so much of this mom in the movie
  19. My grandparents still have landlines... in fact my dad's parents ONLY have a land line. They refuse to get cell phones. They are scared on cell phones. My mom's mom (my mom's dad passed on in 1999) has both a land line, and a cell phone, but she only uses her cell phone in an emergency as her car phone. As for cell phone plans... as people said before it depends on the plan. On my plan, I have verizon with the family and friends plan. The people who I add as family/friends, it doesn't matter who their carrier is or even if its a land line or cell phone, I have unlimited anytime/anywhere with them. I also have unlimited anytime/anywhere minutes when I call or receive a call from another verizon user. I also have unlimited downloads on my smartphone :)
  20. I've talked with a muslim, an antagonistic, and a strong protestant Christian about the church before. Of the three, the muslim seemed most receptive with the antagonistic somewhat receptive. The strong protestant christian friend seemed receptive when we talked, but anytime I invited her to church she had some excuse - 90% of the time she said her husband didn't want her to go - which I respect if true. I do wonder though if she was just being polite when we talked but had no interest in going beyond just general talking with me.
  21. Maybe these math jokes will help me with writing these math proofs, lol. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The math professor just accepted a new position at a university in another city and has to move. He and his wife pack all their belongings into cardboard boxes and have them shipped off to their new home. To sort out some family matters, the wife stays behind for a few more days while her husband has already left for their new residence. The boxes arrive when the wife still hasn't rejoined her husband. When they talk on the phone in the evening, she asks him to count the boxes, just to make sure the movers didn't loose any of them. "Thirty nine boxes altogether", says the prof on the phone. "That can't be", the wife exclaims. "The movers picked up forty boxes at our old place." The prof counts once again, but again his count only reaches 39. The next morning, the wife calls the moving company and complains. The company promises to check; a few hours later, someone calls back and reports that all forty boxes did arrive. In the evening, when the prof and his wife are on the phone again, she asks: "I don't understand it. When you count, you get 39, and when they do, they get 40. That's more than strange..." "Well", the prof says. "This is a cordless phone, so you can stay on the line and count with me: zero, one, two, three,..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Teacher: Now class, whatever I ask, I want you to all answer at once. How much is six plus 4? Class: At once! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If there are ten cats in a boat and one jumps out, how many are left? None, they were all copycats! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The math professor's six-year-old son knocks at the door of his father's study. "Daddy", he says. "I need help with a math problem I couldn't do at school." "Sure", the father says and smiles. "Just tell me what's bothering you." "Well, it's a really hard problem: There are four ducks swimming in a pond, when two more ducks come and join them. How many ducks are now swimming in the pond?" The professor stares at his son with disbelief: "You couldn't do that?! All you need to know is that 4 + 2 = 6!" "Do you think, I'm stupid?! Of course, I know that 4 + 2 = 6. But what does this have to do with ducks!?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "What is Pi?" A mathematician: "Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter." A computer programmer: "Pi is 3.141592653589 in double precision." A physicist: "Pi is 3.14159 plus or minus 0.000005." An engineer: "Pi is about 22/7." A nutritionist: "Pie is a healthy and delicious dessert!"
  22. I'm sure everyone has heard this one, but it is one of my favorites.
  23. I was referring to the physical feelings, like what it felt like to break a bone, stub a toe, run into a wall (which I do often, lol), etc. I'm sure we understood emotions such as love, honor, sense of family, etc.
  24. In addition to what Sachi said - which I agree with, I also think we were shown details of our own individual lives with all it's trials/challenges and our choices (good and bad). But I think it was like watching a movie - were we saw our individual lives, but we did not understand any of the feelings - emotional and physical. But that we all still wanted to come here and that we were very very excited about receiving a body and becoming like our Heavenly Father.
