All I can say is this; they look like butternuts. They are the same shape as butternuts. the underside is the same color as a butternut. So my guess is that it's a butternut.

Ok, here goes the story. My family picked up a (large) butternut squash, and I planted some of the seeds, and now we have a squash plant. Well, we have some squash, and I have some questions about the ripening and picking/storing of the squash. 1) A butternut squash is ripe when the skin turns a tan color. Well, one of them is turning tan...on the bottom. Is this normal? 2) What is the best way to store them after they are picked? 3) I heard you cut it off the vine leaving about two inches (about 5 centimeters) of stem. This supposedly increases the shelf life. Is it true?

Well, when the girl wearing the mini is 5'2 (157.48 centimeters), and about 150 lbs (68.038 855 5 kilograms), it does NOT look good. Sorry, but that's my opinion.

I LOVE A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief. Also; How Firm a Foundation Amazing Grace O My Father How Great Thou Art Those are just some of the ones in the hymn book! I LOVE music!!!

Agreed.

Try this one. Sorry about the link. I didn't check it regularly. And Pam, you're right, that outburst was uncalled for.

There are very few people that I'd gladly kill, and Joseph Kony is top of the list.

I'll settle for keeping the children in your prayers...and praying that Joseph Kony gets killed.

Why is it that no one cares? These are children of God, and we are standing by and watching them be slaughtered or mutilated or forced to do horrendous things? Grrr to you all for not caring about the children. I guess what people say is true; empathy is a forgotten thing.

I'd try to get people to back you up. Principal, perhaps? Or district authority? They (the schools) don't force Jewish people to eat bacon, so why should they force you to watch something that goes against your religion? Just my two cents.

Here's a slightly "Mormonized" version of a joke my dad told me: Two elderly men, Burt and Ernie, where sitting on a park bench talking. Burt says to Ernie, "You know, I wonder of there's baseball in the Celestial Kingdom." "Yeah," says Ernie," I wonder that too. Tell you what, if I die first, I'll come back and tell you." The two men agree, and go on their way. A short time later, Burt dies. Some time goes by, and one morning, Ernie wakes up, and there's Burt standing by his bed, dressed all in white. Burt says to Ernie, "Remember when we where talking about baseball in the Celestial Kingdom?" "Yeah," said Ernie. "Well, I've got some good news and some bad news." "Okay, start with the good news." "There's baseball in the Celestial Kingdom." "Okay, what's the bad news?" "You're pitching tomorrow."

In this troubled day and age, many girls loose sight of God, and fall away from his word. The media tells us we need to be so skinny, we are Anorexic. This displeases God. Please remember that He is our Father, and He loves us all dearly.

Just in time for Halloween!

lol, thanks Pam. I didn't want to take the chance of being banned from such an awesome site. Yes, prostitution is the only profession I can think of where micros are "professional" looking.

Agreed. You know, the girls who wear this stuff say it looks professional, but there is only one profession I can think of where it would be ok, but I don't want to get banned, so I'm not going to say which one that is.

The school I go to has officially lost their sense of control over students. We have a dress code, but that is more of a joke than anything. It states that shirts need at least three-finger-width sleeves, but it's not uncommon to see kids wearing tube tops and micro-minis. Most teachers have given up on the dress code enforcement, but, the majority of the kids think the dress code is too strict (needless to say, I don't go to a school with a whole lot of LDS people. There might be 30 members among 1500 other students). I for one do not like this, and I know that if you where to get a job somewhere, like say... Marble Slab Creamery, and if you refused to wear the uniform, you'd get fired. Does anyone else feel this way?

What bugs me is that He was nominated for the peace prize two weeks after he stepped foot in office. I smell something fishy going on here. President Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize - CBS News Obama's Nobel Is Premature, Historians and Political Scientists Say - Political News - FOXNews.com

This is one of my favorite songs.

Here's one I heard at Youth Conference: You might be Mormon if you think that Heck is the place for people who don't believe in Gosh.

The world needs more hugs. Got hugs?

This is a very well done song, sung by Peter, Paul, and Mary. It has a very strong message, telling us that war is not the answer. It is an old song, originally written by Bob Dylan in 1963. YouTube - Peter Paul & Mary - Blowin in the wind

I'm very surprised no one has mentioned Sailor Moon. She ROCKS!!!

Here's one I wrote to remember the children whose parents had killed them: Ode to Caylee Anthoney My name is Caylee I'm not even three All I want Is for mommy to like me Mommy never wanted a child Tried giving me away Grandma wanted me to stay I never thought it would end this way Last night mommy grabbed me Made me pass out Duct taped my mouth So i wouldn't cry out Dragged my to the woods In a trash bag I couldn't help but wonder Am I really that bad? My name is Caylee I'm not even three And last night Mommy killed me

I've been to the doctor (four, including the school nurse and the camp nurse) no one has told me anything. Recently, I've noticed my eye muscles twitching, and the right side of the back of my head sometimes throbs. If anyone has any idea of what's going on, PLEASE let me know. Thanks.

WARNING, THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE LAST BOOK!!! Just so you know, I only read the first book and part of the second (it was dull). I think it's good that they're pulling the books, and here's why: in the last book, Bella gets pregnant and has Edward's baby.
