    Death

    The letter is an excellent idea. With Father's Day coming up I think I will act on this. As Strawbery already knows, my dad also has Alzheimers which is progressing rather rapidly. We are also waiting on results of a biopsy to determine if he has prostrate cancer. Strawberry and I have much in common as our dad's are only a year apart in age and suffering from the same afflictions. Alzheimers is a horrible disease. I hate to say this about my dad and death. Knowing that I am eventually going to lose him to the Alzheimers..I would rather lose him to a cancer than to the Alzheimers. Just one addition to my above comments. I feel so bad that many do not have strong relationships with their fathers. My dad and I are extremely close and I am blessed with that. I think that is why all that is going on with him makes it even more difficult.
  3. Thanks for the movie recommendation Dr. T. I will have to check that one out. Blessed I LOVE kids movies. I'm an avid Disney movie collector. Never get tired of them.
  4. I never heard what the outcome was...but this also reminded me of a man (and I use that term very loosely) who had been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder. It seems he had a very strong hatred of women. So being HIV positive he had sexual relations with hundreds of women hoping to infect each one of them. Now there is a guy that needs to be taken out and used as a target during hunting season.
  5. I'm glad it was a good experience for you.
  6. This reminded me of a story I read on CNN oh....2-3 months ago. A group was considering lobbying to have the marriage laws changed. Only those that could PROVE that they could conceive and have children would be allowed to get married. One of their stances was that marriage was only to be able to legally produce children and if couples could not have children then there was no reason for them to be married. I thought "What the freak?" This is the most bizarre thing I have ever seen proposed.
  7. The Pie is an awesome place. Hey I would put ice in rootbeer if it were warm too.
  8. what IS a fark? rootbeer comes in a gallon jug? A fark is a fork and yes rootbeer comes in gallon jugs. One place to obtain is A&W.
  9. Ahhhh okay.
  10. I totally agree with all the comments. So now what if someone on that plane contacted this and dies? Does he get charged with manslaughter or murder?
  11. Huh??
  12. Another would be. You know you are NOT from Utah if you actually pronounce MOUNTAIN with a "T" in it.
  13. Trip to England. My ancestors are from there. One even owned a castle which is now open to the public. One is buried in the royal plot by the Tower of London. Would love to see some of these places of my ancestors etc. Plus just the whole history etc.
  14. Pop isn't just a Utah thing. My mom still calls in pop and she didn't grow up in Utah.
  15. I've had White Castles. They are an experience.
  16. Some of mine I can watch over and over. Remember the Titans Men of Honor Ever After Hidalgo A Knights Tale Also I would have thought one of Palerider's favorite movie lines is: "Show me the money" Since he promises to pay for things though he lives 2000 miles away.
  17. I would check with the American Embassy in Canada for the requirements.
  18. Frosty's are okay. Just not a real fan of their food.
  19. We have Sonic. In fact one just down the street from a Wendy's and an A&W. I avoid Wendy's as much as possible. Unless it's 1 a.m. and nothing else is open.
  20. Oh I'm sure that would work. Just walk in and say some dude name Palerider is paying for it. They would be going
  21. Darn it you guys. Now I need to go to A&W. I want a root beer float and they have the best.
  22. Hmmm I guess I haven't noticed. I will have to pay more attention. haha
  23. Only ones that seem to get that holiday off (unless you schedule it off) are the banks and state offices.
  24. You Know You're From Utah When... Green jell-o with carrots mixed in doesn't seem strange. You can pronounce Tooele. The U is not just a letter - Neither is the Y. You have actually eaten funeral potatoes. You've gotten both heat and frost burns off your car's door handle in the same month. You are not surprised to hear words like "Darn, Fetch, Flip", "Oh, My Heck" and "Shoot". Your tulips get snowed on three times after they come up and twice more after they bloom. Hunting season is a school holiday. The largest liquor store is the state government. You can go skiing and play golf on the same day. 30% humidity is muggy and almost unbearable. Somewhere in your family tree is a polygamist. You know the difference between a 'Steak House' and a 'Stake House'. The elevation exceeds the population You've broken down on the highway and somebody stops to help you You can see the stars at night You have a bumper sticker that says "Families are Forever." You were an aunt or uncle before you were three. Your spouse's mother was pregnant at your wedding. You have more children than you can find biblical names for. Your family considers a trip to McDonald'd a night out.. Your first child was conceived on your honeymoon. You feel guilty when you watch Monday Night Football. Your kids believe the deer hunt is a national holiday. You drink Coke from a brown paper bag. You consider a temple recommend a credit reference. At least two of your salad bowls are at the homes of neighbors. You believe that you must be 18 or older to order coffee at a restaurant. You wonder why fire truck drivers honk when you drive 35 mph in the left lane on the freeway. There is a similarity between a ward basketball game and the L.A. riots. You think Jack Daniels is a country western singer. You negotiate prices at a garage sale. You can make Jell-O salad without the recipe. You've heard about BYU football in a testimony meeting. You have two gallons of ice cream in your freezer at all times. Your father-in-law thinks Ronald Reagan was a liberal. A member of your family wrote in Lavell Edwards for president in the last election. Cars in the slow lane are traveling the fastest; cars in the fast lane are traveling the slowest; cars in the middle lanes are always trying to exit. Sandals are the best-selling shoes. You have to ask for the uncensored version of "Titanic." Hotel rooms all have the Book of Mormon. You buy your wardrobe at the local grocery superstore. You learn about the Mormon Church by taking history in elementary school. You live in a state where Democrats always come in third place, unless a zoo animal is running. Then they come in fourth. You're on your own if you are turning left. Schools stay open, even if two feet of snow falls overnight, but close for the opening of hunting season. People wear shorts and T-shirts if the temperature rises above 32 degrees. There is a church on every corner, but they all teach the same thing. The most popular public transportation system is a ski lift. People drive to Idaho (or Arizona) to pick up a gallon of milk so they can play the lottery. In-state college football rivalries are bigger than the Super Bowl. Beer drinkers don't shop on Sunday. You don't have to breathe cigarette smoke until you walk outside a building. The cost of living rises while your salary drops. Every driveway has a minivan and a pickup truck. When you buy a new vehicle, cigarette lighters are optional equipment but gun and ski racks are standard. Every time a new family moves into your neighborhood, the local elementary school has to hire a new teacher. Your paycheck has an additional 10 percent deduction. "Temple recommends" is acceptable identification for cashing a check. More movies are filmed in your town than in Hollywood. You've never had a Mormon missionary knock on your door. Your neighbors complain about where they live, yet refuse to return to the state they moved from. You make a toast with red punch at your wedding reception. You have more raw wheat stored than some Third World countries. Your idea of a good time is playing Pictionary in the cultural hall. Your idea of a wild party is a six pack of Pepsi and a PG-13 movie. You and all your friends come to your mother for a haircut in her kitchen. You measure Kool-Aid by parts per million. You think "You're a 10 cow wife" is a compliment.
  25. You want me to think?
