I got 5 correct. I with you there Yedi!

I have been laughing for the last few minutes because I was reading too fast and I read "Donnie Dorko" and that is what made me read this post. I guess I needed a laugh. :)

I would let the person know he/she has hurt my feelings. Sometimes people don't even realize they have done it. It does help to talk to the person about it. Also, when it comes to message boards, unless you happen to know this person, I would remember that people are pretty bold and say things they usually wouldn't say it they were talking to someone face to face.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not, but reading several of the posts made me think of a few couples in my ward. They are great people, but they have no children. They have wanted children, but they were never blessed with any. They are in their 40's now and they just don't think it is going to happen to them. I have seen them in their callings and they have worked in primary and YW/YM and they treat all of the children like they are their own. Are there any couples in your ward (or possibly stake) like that? Also, one other thing I was thinking about. Just maybe the men are apprehensive because you are single so, you may want to make a plea in RS sometime when it's pretty full let all of the sisters know your situation. Just come straight out and let everyone know your son needs a father figure. Tell them to give you a call or email after they have thought about it. I also hope things work out with your Bishop. Please post back when you talk to him.

Go to www.lds.org and in the search box type "Mountain Meadows Massacre" and it will bring up several articles about this.

I have lived in Iowa, Missouri and Tennessee and I haven't heard of it. It's a pretty name.

I actually have a question for my dad who passed away a few years ago. I know it's a bit off topic, but he and I were really into Family History and we were at a standstill with his great grandparents. It's a sad story. His grandpa was left with a family friend at the age of 4 because the grandpa's parents were moving across the country (he thinks maybe a gold rush or something) and they were to return for him when they got settled. They were never heard from again. The family friends new their names but that was it. They didn't know where they came from or any dates of anything. We could never find thier names on a census. It's just sad. Oh, to only know what happenend to these people.

How long has this site been around? I posted on an LDS site a while back (late 90's). I used to chat on an LDS site too. Oh well, it's nice to have this one. If anyone gets a chat going again, I would like to join. I am a stay at home mom with 6 kids. I stay busy with them and thier activities of after school stuff, sports, and scouts. I also like researching my family history. It's gotten moved to the back burner since a few more kids joined my family. I live in TN. I hope to get to know you all and I will post more often.

Hey, I have been hanging around reading posts. I just haven't posted items myself. I was wondering if there was an active chat going on - day or night, or at all? Thanks!
