I found a place I like on the internet. They are very comfy. It has a weird name because it used to be a renaissance clothing store. They do still have a leaning that way which I iike. Holy Clothing. Tops, Shirts, Blouses in gothic, gypsy, renaissance and peasant styles for great prices by HolyClothing.com

The electric heating lap blanket shuts off after a short while. It gives a chance for your body to get warm then goes off till you turn it back on again.

Sew a pretty bow on the so they are pretty?

After Googling the question it seems that many if not most do believe Jeffs is the US president. Of course the media will insist on misstating what President and Prophet and Seer mean so it could be just confusion but it does appear to be what they believe.

Our house is cold. Last year we found a heated lap blanket. It was fantastic. We used that and tossed a regular lap blanket over it. If you use space heaters you need to make sure it really will turn off if tipped over. We bought a really nice oil filled one which may be safer. They sell more expensive heaters that are cool to the touch. You might consider that as a worthwhile expense. Also NEVER use any kind of extension cord with space heaters. They will burn the cord out and could start a fire in the wall as well as the floor. You might get her some long johns in thermal material and yes they make them in garments. Very toasty. A shawl might be useful if a sweater isnt enough. The thing is you CAN do it but you just have to do a kind of 'layered' approach. Dont depend on just one change. Make a number of small ones and they will add up. :)

I am joining in on the ranting. Its just plain stupid when you cant even change spark plugs or oil etc. On top of that there are lots of local ordinances FORBIDDING doing either or anything else for that matter. We are all losing our minds not to mention our basic survival abilities. Its bad enough when we just dont bother but when we just cant no matter what we want to do about it.

The problem was not the coverups. It was the baby. Some are just wandering eyes nursers. lol. They no doubt grow up to be multitaskers!

Pam, I am sorry, I didnt mean you had to get over it. I am thinking it is something society needs to get over. Me included. Logically it makes no sense so I consciously ignore my twitches. I always breastfed my kids but tried to be modest about it but I am not going to criticize others who dont feel its necessary. The problem is in me not them. Have you seen early pictures of conferences in SL? There are women in the front of the congregations breastfeeding openly in at least several of them. Right in front of the speakers and no one pays it any attention. They caught me by surprise to be honest.

I find myself humming, hmmming to random notes, or just singing random notes often. Not being any good at it I suppose it might annoy people but my husband tells me he doesnt pay any attention to it. Maybe you could ask them to actually sing something or just start singing and maybe they will join? Or turn on some music? :)

Some babies just wont allow it. For me seeing moms feeding the babies I might have a twinge of embarrassment but its just not as important as the fact she is doing a good thing for her baby. The twinge is more a condemnation of our society not the woman feeding her baby. We really ought to just get over it.

I have been in two wards just like that. They were dissolved. I have no idea why they were like that. You might be able to help get it straight but it takes a toll. Perhaps you can pick up the spiritual strength with the family? I am sorry to not be more positive. Perhaps the ward will get straight but right now you are right to be most concerned with your family. Perhaps you have seen others in the ward who seem disturbed about it as well? Maybe you could befriend them and help each other stay strong? In the end it really is up to your family to pull together and get the strength you expected from church, from each other. Yes I am sure you already do but stronger family bonds might be the best thing to concentrate on? Wishing you well because it is not something any of us want to have to deal with.

I hope its not real. It would be illegal and harmful to the Koala. People can be so incredibly stupid.

I mostly covered up but some of my babies would not allow it. Because of that I learned to expose the baby and not the breast. It was tricky but it isnt that hard. A little practice and anyone can do it. If the baby is too wiggly you can cup your hand over the parts the baby exposes. A little give and take on everyones part and we can all be happy.

Sounds like it to me too. It is their site but they ought to live up to their own stated standard.

On the other hand did they delete the photo going around of body painting a breast with holly and berries? Apparently that was ok even though it was sexual not feeding a baby. Facebook says their policy is that if it shows a nipple it goes. They say the nursing is not the reason for deleting photos. It is only that a portion of a nipple shows. In that case if the woman paints the nipple it must be ok.

just give thanks that she is gone. I bet people are sooooo happy to see you in the job! What a way to make and entrance! Replacing a grouch!

When my first son was born he had an incurable birth defect. There was nothing that could be done. He died. Now babies born with the same syndrome live and they live good lives. Am I sad he was born too soon? Maybe a little although I understand that was not in his plan. There are always pluses and minuses in any time. Sure you missed out on some things you really wanted. Can you tell me that you did not have experiences where you were that have impacted your life positively? I imagine you have but we will never know what would have happened if you had been born later. One way to drive yourself crazy is to focus on what could have been only if..... What will happen for sure is you will miss the good things that actually are in your life.

and I just blink and stare at who ever is talking, in confusion. :)

I think so but then again they do know each other and their kids will know each other. So did you hear we found Dexter? Or rather his other kids descendant found us!

My grandmothers parents divorced when she was very young. Her father remarried and had more children. He disappeared but yesterday I was contacted by a relative of those later children. She has had temple work done for at least some of them. Not sure yet exactly which. What I am wondering is are the half siblings in our line of responsibility? The descendants of that line, as far as I know, except for the one woman, are not LDS. Now I would guess the descendants are not but the siblings are the children of my grandmothers dad are close blood relatives so not sure about them. At least some of these children died young and have to descendants. Most likely I will make sure their work is done if not by my family then by the woman who contacted me. She seems to be worried I would be upset if she has done them. Of course I am not. In fact that would be great. Oh and another thing. He was living under an assumed first name. I have no idea why and neither does this long lost cousin. How does this affect his temple work?

It does make sense. I am glad you are checking it out.

He is in scouts? Oh no. Now what do you do with that knowledge? If he is in scouts at least check him out. Kids deserve your doing that.

I will try to not be offended as I sit here on the bed by my husband rolled up into a fetal position having flashbacks and panic attacks and afraid to wake up. Did you know that when a loved ones suffers we suffer as well? I guess not. My husband has the blessing of forgetting. I do not. I remember his screams and cries of terror and desperation. Every day of my life. God blessed him to forget and me to remember so I know how and why he suffers. Look up empathy. Its real.

This is a funny thread but I would like to add a real life story that is more serious. When I was in grade school one of the kids on the playground was telling me that only followers of satan wore beards or mustaches. She was told this in primary. My dad had a mustache and always had. He was not evil. I remember how angry I was to be told by some little brat that my dad was evil. It is obvious from looking at photographs of our past leaders that this is not an old idea. I am guessing it came about in the 50's along with a bunch of other strange ideas about conformity. It would pay to be less picky about things that really dont matter.

I love my husbands beard. Every year before Christmas he shaves it off when he hears the first child ask their parent if he is santa. ^^
