  1. Everyone here is quite excited about this Temple. It will be a great relief to only travel about 30-40 minutes as apposed to 3 hours. Thanks Hemi.

  3. Happy Birthday Gwen!!!!
  4. Why not start the process now???? Good luck Checker. I didn't have to get special clearance either, but I wasn't married in the Temple the first time.
  5. Happy Birthday Honor!!!!!! Although since I'm Canadian: Happy Birthday HonoUr!!!!
  6. So's mine. I'm a fat, balding doofus, who happens to get by in life.
  7. We just came out of a deep freeze. It was -20C (-) -30C for over a month here, plus a bunch of snow. For the past few weeks it has been better, 0C roughly, but we're headed back into a cold spell, only -15C or so.
  8. Glad to hear that you are OK!! I thought the tornado was in Oklahoma and that you were in Texas, unless I missed something. If not, where abouts in Texas was it. My sister is about an hour east of Dallas (Commerce). I'll have to get a hold of her to see if they're alright.
  9. http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_cont...ar-a-cop-magnet Is Your Car a Police Magnet? If $4 gas didn't convince you to trade in that big H2 for a Mini Cooper, perhaps your friendly neighborhood police officer will. It seems that Hummer drivers get more traffic tickets than drivers of any other make of car. The data come from a survey conducted by ISO Quality Planning. The company helps insurers spot risks; or in other words, it helps insurance companies spot you, Mr. Bright Yellow Hummer. Not sure if your car attracts more cops than a donut shop? Check out the list to see if your ride is getting you unwanted attention. 10 Most Ticketed Cars 1. Hummer H2 People who love the Hummer H2 probably love its bold, imposing looks. Apparently, cops love the H2 because it helps them meet their ticket quotas. Here's a tip: If you have an H2, maybe you shouldn't drive it near then end of the month when traffic cops are scrambling to make their numbers. 2. Scion tC Seeing the tC on the most-ticketed list makes sense, given its popularity with young people. Its sporty performance, which comes at a price that makes affording tickets easy, probably helps tempt some drivers as well. 3. Scion xB Like the Scion tC, the xB is aimed at younger drivers. Still, when you look at the xB's less-than-stellar performance, it's safe to assume that all the tickets xB drivers are getting aren't moving violations. 4. Mercedes Benz CLK63 AMG If you're lucky enough to have a Mercedes AMG -- any AMG -- then a few tickets are worth unleashing this luxurious beast. Besides, if you've got a Mercedes, you can probably afford a few traffic citations. 5. Toyota Solara Coupe Now, here's a surprise. The fifth most ticketed car is the Toyota Solara Coupe. Essentially a two-door Camry, the Solara isn't known for road-thrashing performance. Maybe Solara drivers just get a lot of parking tickets. 6. Mercedes Benz CLS63 AMG The CLS63 AMG is another luxury performance car, so it's no shocker to see its drivers among the most ticketed. The question is: With all that power, why aren't more CLS63 AMG drivers outrunning the cops? 7. Scion xA With the xA taking the seventh spot on the ten most ticketed cars list, Scion completes the traffic-ticket hat trick. Toyota's upstart little brand has only come out with four models over its entire lifespan -- and three of them will likely get you a date in traffic court. 8. Subaru Outback Subaru's have a reputation of being yuppie grocery getters, but the Outback manages to prove that stereotype wrong by being one of the top ten most ticketed cars. Apparently, the Outback is the car of choice for people who need to get to Whole Foods in a hurry, and maybe park illegally once they're there. 9. Audi A4 Audi often finds itself in the shadows of Mercedes and BMW, but not when it comes to getting tickets. The Audi A4 is the ninth most ticketed car in America. 10. Toyota Matrix The Toyota Matrix is often credited for bringing SUV styling to small cars. Now it can also be credited to bringing insurance rate increases to thousands of its owners. 10 Least Ticketed Cars 1. Jaguar XJ The Jaguar XJ gives drivers a smooth ride and an opulent interior. As the least- ticketed car in America, it also seems to provide the ability to fly under radar guns. There's a feature they won't tell you about at the dealership. 2. Chevrolet Suburban Suburban drivers tend to need their large SUVs for hauling people or towing trailers, not breaking land speed records. So it's not surprising to see it on the list of least-ticketed cars. 3. Chevrolet Tahoe The Tahoe shares some architecture with the Hummer H2, the most-ticketed car in America. Despite the two having similar sizes, the Tahoe manages not to attract as much police attention. 4. Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 It's no shocker to find Chevrolet's heavy-duty trucks among the least-ticketed vehicles. These trucks are usually bought for their towing ability, not for impromptu drag races. 5. Buick Park Avenue While Buick has recently begun to increase the oomph in their cars, the now- discontinued Park Avenue helped solidify the brand's image as cars for the senior set. No wonder Park Avenue drivers tend not to get very many tickets. 6. Mazda6 The largest car in Mazda's line up, the Mazda6 has plenty of the brand's zoom-zoom, yet still manages to be among the least-ticketed cars. If you love driving sporty sedans but can't take seeing any more red and blue lights in your rear view mirror, the Mazda6 may be just the car for you. 7. Buick Rainier The now-discontinued Buick Rainier is a largely forgettable attempt at a near- luxury SUV. Maybe that forgettable nature keeps cops from noticing when one commits a traffic offense. 8. Oldsmobile Silhouette Finding a minivan from Oldsmobile on the list of least-ticketed cars isn't surprising. What's surprising is that anyone is still driving a Silhouette. 9. Buick Lucerne The Buick Lucerne offers a near-luxury experience at an affordable large car price. Being one of the least-ticketed cars means that the Lucerne's afford-ability continues after it's bought, thanks to fewer fines and lower insurance rates. 10. GMC Sierra 1500 The GMC Sierra is an attractive truck for work or play. With its ability to haul or tow heavy loads, this truck will do anything you ask it to, including avoiding traffic citations.
  10. I was going to suggest tomk, but he beat me to it. Good Luck Tom!!!
  11. Granted, but now she's a zombie and wants to eat you brains. I wish for job security.
  12. I know where my son is, he's in Florida with his Mom. (insert grumblings of divorced Dad making payments) Seriously though. Me and my wife have been trying for about a year and if it doesn't happen soon, it won't happen due to our ages (will be a high risk pregnancy). We're fine with that. Are we going to hell? I highly doubt it. What about the singles who had no desire to marry? These are things that will be sorted out in the next life and shouldn't be of concern to us.
  13. I plan on taking a couple of drafting courses this year, if my company will pay for it, and if I still have a job. They will be night classes or a 2 day course type of set up.
  14. Thanks. I would have checked myself, but the internet filters here at work block it. Thanks again. If a mod wants to close this thread, by all means, please do.
  15. Granted, but it will never be clean enough. I wish winter was over.
  16. The movie Corpus Christi is due to be released this June to August. I totally agree with the message below. Let's stand for what we believe in and stop the mockery of Jesus Christ our Savior. where do we stand as Christians? At the risk of a bit of inconvenience, I'm forwarding this to all I think would appreciate it too. Please help us prevent such offenses against our Lord. It will take you less than 2 minutes! If you are not interested, and do not have the 2 Minutes it will take to do this , please don't complain when God does not have time for you, because He is far busier than we are. A disgusting film set to appear in America later this year depicts Jesus and his disciples as homosexuals! As a play, this has already been in theatres for a while. It's called Corpus Christi ' which means 'The Christ Body.' It's revolting mockery of our Lord. But we can make a difference. That's why I am sending this e-mail to you. If you do send this around, we will be able to prevent this film from showing in America and South Africa . Hey, it's worth a shot! Apparently, some regions in Europe have already banned the film. All we need is a lot of prayer and a lot of e-mails. Remember, Jesus said 'Deny Me on earth and I'll deny you before my Father'. This was sent to me by my brother. I haven't heard about this. Has anyone else??
  17. Teach them correct principles and let them govern themselves. That's what I was taught. Different people have different ideas as to how to keep the Sabbath holy. Personally, I watched the Super bowl and have no guilt over it. I watch football on Sundays sometimes as well with no guilt. Sometimes we don't turn the TV on until after dinner. It's a personal choice. And as far as I can remember, I do not recall any Apostle saying "Do not watch football on Sunday", however I could be wrong.
  18. Granted, but they only run on Microsoft Vista (and we all kno whow reliable that is)I wish I was skinny.
  19. Granted, but now your computer is broken.I wish I was stronger.
  20. Great, I love dogs!!! Granted, but you live in a Kryptonite house.
  21. Granted, but now you live in Oren, Utah. I wish for happiness.
  22. True, but the days that I like living here are the days when I have to go to the Doctor's Office, and I walk out without paying a cent!!!!! Of course it takes me 6 months to get in to see the Doctor, but that's a different issue.BTW ~ Congrats on the Football pool Dr.T. and Truegrits!!!!!!
  23. It was a very good game, especially the last 5 minutes. I was switching between the Super Bowl and another channel (for my wife) so I missed some plays, but I did catch the final TD!!!!!!!! Arizona kept it close and imagine if they didn't get all those penalties, they could have won it. The real sad part is that because it was broadcast up here, the channels up here sold the commercial spots and interrupted the signal on the US stations, so we didn't get the big commercials. There are days when I hate living here.
  24. It should say "Lypsol" Sorry.
  25. We were skipping class one day and as we were pulling out of the parking lot in my buddies truck, his band teacher comes around the corner having a smoke. We all froze, even the band teacher, who wasn't supposed to smoke on school property. Then he just gave us a wave and turned his back. We left in quite a hurry. We were never reported for skipping and he wasn't reported for smoking. Also, my girlfriend (at the time) and I received the "Lypsol" award at an assembly (which, ironically, we didn't attend). Lypsol is a brand of chap-stick. Can you guess what it was for????(Hint: We never really had dry lips)
