  1. Thus is sorta the same thing. My parents started a family out if faith and struggled for years. Pretty much all of our growing up years however they always made ends meet. Barely but always. Infact, while my parents were driving my oldest brother to the MTC we received a phone call at home from my dads work. A few days later when he gor home he called them back and they offered him a promotion that was just enough to pay for my brothers mission. Yes, the Lord provides. All 5bif us went on missions sone iverlaping eachother and my parents supported all of us.
  2. I knew a janitor at my ild job. He say womens restroom are way worse than mens hands down.
  3. My account is working now! Pam was posting for me. Thanjs for the help. I thougjt there was a conference talk because i remember watching it on tv being broadcast from the conference center. Wonder if he was reading this...anyways. Thanjs for the help!!
  4. I have been to a random church in Floria that basiclly had testimony meeting. I don't remember what they called it, but pretty much the same thing. In fact, looking back, I can't really think of anything that was different that ours. Just a different religion.
  5. My bisop told us that sibling CAN watch siblings be sealed. I don't know if adoption is different, I don't see why it would be, but I have personally seen it happen with half siblings...so a second marraige happens. That couple is waiting to be sealed due to previous sealings need cancelled. They have another child in the meantime. Then when they finally all get sealed, the older children from previous marriage get to see the new baby sealed to parents. They do not get to see the parents sealed, they are brought in at the time of the baby and get to see that part. I don't see why it would be different for adoption, but maybe??
  6. I, too, would have to pray really hard...I would, however, expect to recive a confirmation. Then it would be difficult. I might pray even harder than my husband was not selected to be part of that. Haha!
  7. No, I don't call off a wedding for that. I remove the kids from them. My husband is a good dad to them.
  8. We were engaged before I met the in laws. I am not going to call off a wedding due to someone else. I thought they would get the fact that I was going to stay after we got married, and at least after a couple of years....guess not. I am not clear on why I should apoligize.... I have been nothing but kind hearted to them. Even let one live in out basement apaprtment for almost no rent, so he could save up for a house. I made cakes, cookies, and done so much for so many years, and they are just being...wel.....mean. Sounds very childish, but when you keep taking your kids into a tocic stiuation, you are at fault. I think it is time my kids don't see them anymore. They see how they are treated compared to teh other "grand kids" it is a joke. everyone taht has been to a family event can see it and tells me.
  9. What I put on FB was vauge. They made it clear they were jerks. Even my husband didn't see anything wrong with it.
  10. What I mean is even before we were married they treated us that way, and STILL DO! five years later. We have been married now for 5 years. And he has kids from a previous as well, so they understand that. In fact his first marriage his wife had kids from a previous. So they should get it by now. My family does not treat him like that at al. They love him dearly.
  11. So I just had a huge falling out with my in laws. I don't even know where to start. So they treat me and my kids like temporary family. like they expect us to just go away at someopint. so they never bother with us, they never talk to us. and they treat my kids poorly. (My kids from another marriage) Today I told them off. Poor husband is stuck in the middle. Now what. I feel like our marriage is never going to be the same either.
  12. Seriously? If you don't have the money for the type of wedding you want, then shrink it down. It is a one day thing. Heck, go to the temple and rent temple clothes. Why does your dad in law have to pay for anything?? I don't think it is worth a relationship to try to get him to pay for anything. You can do it on your own. You have over 6 months, you can save for the basics. If you can't maybe you are not yet ready to support a wife and kids. It isn't about the reception, fancy dress, flowers and such. It is about you and your soon to be spouse. I know that came off harsh, but I don't think you should depend on anyone for that.
  13. I agree with everyone else. Someone needs to take up a collection, or find a away yo pay it back. It looks bad when we teach accountabliity and we are not being accountable!
  14. Is there low income houseing around? Most cities have some ind of affordable houseing. Not all of them are bad....
  15. We also go through a gallon of milk and a loaf of bread a day....yep, 4 boys. Sometime two loafs of bread....
  16. I eat carnation instand breakfast in the summer and oatmeal in the winter. I also like left over mexican food. :)
  17. Kids forget, don't pay attention or simple haven't been taught. It happens. Sometimes I think when they talk to the bishop for the interview, either he assumes they already know or they are so nervous about "passing the test" (we know it isn't a test but they think of it that way) that they don't really hear everything. Also depends on the ward. They are blessed to have a good teacher that taught them. I am sure that the eye opener was a good start for them. :) They are lucky to have you.
  18. Make friends with the leaders. They can let you know what is going on. Sometime the girls are not paying attention when announcements are made. Maybe see if there can be a facebook page (secret group, so not everyone knows YW things going on) or something so people can know what is going on. My daughter is one of two young women in the wole ward. We still have a FB page and the leaders post activites there so parents and YW can know what to wear or bring, if it is early or going to be late....those type things.
  19. When a small amout of butter can cause a person to be spiritually lost, I think not talking to someone over a washer and dryer is fine. Like ou said, you will forgive and move on. But forgivness doesn't mean you have to put yourself back into a situation. Seems she is being petty, and feels it is worth losing the relationship, so I guess you didn't lose much....
  20. Seems these e-cigs are "ok" for office use, tho they are recently found to be harmful for second hand breathers. So there is a huge amount of people that use these thhinking they are better than regular cigs. Huge amount of these people have no intent to quit. They just want to be able to smoke in public. That being said I would never sell to people making them. Although here in Idaho there are tons of stake presidents, bishops, and others that are in good standing in the church that work for or grow for the budweiser plants around the city. They grow the barley and sell it to the plants that make the beer. So I think it is a personal desicion. If in doubt, speak with your bishop and or pray about it.
  21. Our garage was super infested, so bad we wouldn't go in there. we saterated them with pure extract the threw them in, like everywhere...we probobly over did out of being paranoid, but we didnt care. They left. No joke. makeing a huge nest. they left simply from the pepermint. Traps didn't get rid of them cuz there were too many, but the pepermint worked. We got rid of just about everything in that garage, after they were gone. (thank goodness they never came in the house!! )
  22. DOn't know about rats, but mice hate pepermint. Totally worked in our garage a few years back...put pepermint on cotton balls and put them everywhere. Mice didn't come back.
  23. I think it can help the person needing the prayers. For me if give me more strength. Maybe it is like aplacebo, but hey, helps me to feel stronger when I know others are praying for me...maybe a little faither booster?!? I know I feel like it give me a push in the right direction. :)
