Many of you have real good points and ideas and are hitting right on it but for some reason refuse to bring out the honest truth. Just say it! Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Man=It's broke. Isolate the broken part and fix it or replace it. The world is at peace again. Women=It's broke. Find the man, and Kill him! It's his fault anyway for not knowing it was going to break, in the future, and for not doing whatever it took to make sure it would never break, in the future, again. Stupid man. Would someone hurry up and write that book so I could buy it?

I can't get past the...having more than one mother-n-law at one time thing. Yeeeooowweeeee!!!!!!

WOW! The things you can learn about people when you pay attention. Dravin is a niceguy, miztrniceguy is not nice to people who use chargers to put thier plates on when nice company comes over for diner, and the beautiful woman that I thought all along was the MOST angelic now hates all users! That's not a good thing being that Pammy is a mod. Oh my GOODNESS!! It really DID mean "DON'T CLICK THIS!!!!" AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! :0

I just found something on Tibetan culture. Family tensions?? Gee, why??? :0

I recycle my cards too! I scratch the name out of whoever wrote it originaly and then put my name on it and resend it. I try to not send it back to the person who sent it to me though. That would be tacky.

What did lawyers do to me? They took my money, and left me a little short. :) Otherwise, nothing. What do you call 250 lawyers at the botton of the ocean?

Wait...wait!! Earlier in the thread I saw the word "polyandry". One wife with more than one husband. Please, does anyone know if there are people of any faith or culture practicing this now? My tiny brain hungers for more info!!!! :0

Oh I KNOW someone didn't just make a midget joke. Now I'M offended..... me being a "Vertically challenged" person. The Little People's Association WILL be forwarded this and I'm sure legal action will be taken....in short order. (And I thought Dravin was a nice guy.)

I'm here because I love Pam's cookies AND I love people of all types, backgrounds, faiths who are able to post on a forum without cussing/bashing and try hard (most of the time) to be caring and helpful, but MOSTLY...because of Pam and her cookies.

1) For everyone to love everyone else. 2) For all of us to stop taking so many things for granted and give daily praises to the One who provides it all. 3) For us all to live like it was our very last day on Earth. 4) For everyone to celebrate Christmas for the real reason. Christ Jesus. 5) For me to wake up from this dream.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A woman who is honest and has good morals is very attractive in my eyes. Thank you Wingnut and a glamorous 18 I have no doubt you are. I'm only 3ft 6in tall and I'm very proud and thankful of the body that Heavenly Father has blessed, YES BLESSED me with. Others choose to call it a curse, not me. I feel that if there is something about our bodies that might cause a health threat then maybe if that person chooses they could take action to change that but if it does not cause a health problem and that person is happy, I think that's absolutely the way they should stay. I agree about the lie thing too. It's about as crazy as me saying I'm 6ft tall. We are all human beings, all much loved children of a most high Heavenly Father. Why some people choose to judge others because they don't fit the mold of some fake magazine model I'll never understand. Sorry to get WAAAY off topic. I'll shut up now.

There are several different terms used to describe clothing that I've never understood. Bust size is one of them. I thought a bust was a bronze statue of some old dudes head, how can it be both? Is the word used to describe the part of a chicken that is attached under the wing against the rules to say in public? Also, why are they called a PAIR of pants, but only one bra? AND, the biggest mystery of all. Why are women clothes sizes TOTALLY different from mens. Like my size, a size 34 in mens slacks. That same number in womens clothes would fit, well, she would be a very beautiful full bodied woman. Not that it really matters because no woman I've ever met in my life will TELL you her size if it's over size 2. Oh well, good luck finding the store you need Mr. Austeego.

My fav are the dreams that I can fly. I don't have them much anymore but I remember them and it was so cool. They seemed to always begin when I jumped off something like my front porch which is only a few feet but instead of landing on the ground for some reason, which at the time I didn't feel like I was in control of it, I'd swoosh back up and it was then that I would realize I was flying. I would start at a lower altitude but when I got the hang of it could go slightly above the tree tops anywhere I wanted. I wonder why they stopped? I take dreams with a big grain of salt. Use or learn what I can from them and move on. There was only one other dream that I had right after my best buddy was killed in an automobile accident that was different than any other dream I've ever had, before then or since. That dream was more real than reality itself and is impossible to put into words because no words were spoken during that dream. A WHOLE LOT was said, but none by words from our mouths. More of a direct link from the other persons soul to mine and back allowing us to not only understand EXACTLY what was being communicated but in living color, emotions, smell and sound and much more that I don't understand. Almost like when they were saying it I was inside them feeling and understanding everything they were communicating. Mind blowing dream. No idea what it was. Could have been too many beans I ate the night before, don't know but it was life changing.

Don't you wish we had an instruction manual to go by when it comes to relationship problems??? WAIT! We do! It's called the Holy Bible. :)

Lawyers have souls???? :0

Pammy. A loaf of bread and a supersize jar of peanut butter. When the vending machine runs out you will RULE!!!!

What about the shirt? Isn't it sweater season. I love when my wife wears turtleneck sweaters......YEEOOOWWEEEEEEE!!!!

Dahlia, my oldest son is on his mission now on the south Pacific Island of Fiji. He's 7,000 miles from home. There is an older couple (members) who have the young men and women missionaries over for dinner fairly regular. They enjoy it alot because they get to eat American food for a change. I was inspired by this when my son told me and have since then become close to the elders in my small town. Every six weeks or so they are subject to be transfered but a couple of them have been here a while now. Spending time with them is a joy and a blessing. I give them rides when they have appointments way out in the rural areas. We talk alot and I have also helped them by being the male witness when they visit females who are by themselves. They are not allowed to go into a house unless another male adult is there with the female. Also, it is either the first or second Sunday of the month that they observe fast Sunday so that may be one of the reasons they don't accept food on that specific day but they did not tell me this until recently. Otherwise they eat like normal 19 yr olds do so I load them up with as much pizza and foods they like as often as I can. I feel it is everyones duty to support missionaries as much as we can. They are very VERY special people doing a VERY important and much needed job that is hard so I do anything I can to help them. I'm so glad that you enjoy being around them too. Want to know something that is different? I'm not a member. I love my church and my faith but I also love my elders and they have accepted me just like I am. Yes, I visit the church from time to time. Went to a Baptism not long ago. Awesome. I've even gone to the Bishops house on several occasions with my son. Nicest family you could ever meet. I follow my heart and calling. One day if Heavenly Father nudges me that way then that is where I will go. I know in my heart and by the way the elders love my company that it is right what I do. Elders are the best!! :)

Men marry women expecting them NOT to change...and they do. Women marry men and expect them TO change, and they don't. We're a mess aren't we. I know what I've done the past 5-6 yrs to stay sane in a somewhat hopeless situation..pray, pray and when I'm tired of praying...PRAY SOME MORE!!!! Otherwise follow the great wise words of wisdom from LM because he's got something there. Pray for the strength to make it one more day, then the next. I've seen the hand of Heavenly Father in my life these past few years very clearly. I pray for help to make it just through today. He grants it and I have just the right amount of strength to hold on that day. The next morning I wake up and start the process over again. Open my eyes, pray giving thanks I made it thru yesterday and that He is giving me one more day and then for the strength to make it. It's really amazing. I would have bailed many years ago if I hadn't seen His hand so clearly which builds my Faith and tells me that He has something in mind that is much bigger and better than me being alone and that He needs me to just hold on tight. Good luck brother. Oh, one more thing that has helped, pray for (silently) your wife, and pray WITH your wife asking for help to become a better person, husband, parent etc and for Him to help you two draw closer together and closer to Him. I'm not saying you are to blame for anything, I'm saying that if she hears you asking for help to be a better person it has a way of making her want to do the same for herself. Also, praying WITH my wife does something powerful, something real. Something that is way more productive than normal conversation between us, even on a good day.

aw come on Pam. Let it fly!!

I'm totally with you on the app thing Ram. I get invites to everything under the sun and refuse or delete every single one. The first one that I was invited to I clicked on and when the next screen said this app allows or gives everyone on Earth access to all of my personal info I quickly closed the screen and from then on don't even waste my time because they all, as far as I know, allows-gives access to the universe. I use it to keep in touch with friends and to socialize a little. In moderation though. Some people live on there and that to me is not healthy in many ways.

Welcome Wof!! Nice to meet ya. :)

I can't say about the light spectrum but I do know when my boys were young they liked mixing all of the different flavored soda's together, orange, cherry, grape, sprite, lemonaid and several more. What it finally looked like was a very dark brown, almost black liquid so in the soda spectrum all colors together make black and after a double-dog dare from my oldest son to take a sip I did and it was quite tasty I must admit. :) I love black and I love people of all colors and sizes.

We also recycle and use the Easter basket grass which is safer that tinsel on the tree and still provides the year round supply thing found in the carpet, couch cushions, flower garden and all other places within a 25 mile radius. Does anyone have any theories about how the tinsel and Easter basket grass just doesn't ever go away no matter how much you clean? Do the tinsel-Easter grass fairy's come out when we are at work and throw it all over the property??? :0

You're going way to far on this decoration thing sir. My '68 model aluminim Christmas tree with the spinning color wheel is the coolest! No tangled lights. A hand full of faded air fresheners from the truck rearview mirror for your ornaments and you're good to go! Total cost.....$16. Starting the Christmas season by killing Fluffy is going to instantly put you on the "naughty" list with the wife. No cookies or milk for you bud.
