  1. I missed you Pushka - did you get my email?? Glad you are back, glad you had a good holiday.
  2. Finnian has this inane notion that he knows all . . . . . .NOT In My opinion of course
  3. Where do you get your crazy ideas anyway? Pinching the skin!!! As long as the woman wears the correct size there is no pinching. Sheeeesh.
  4. again - you will continue to get dumber and dumber until he either becomes a parent himself or turns 50. Sometimes they discover Mom is not so dumb when they hit 40. At least that has been my observation regarding my brothers and our Mom. Now of course I never thought my Mother was dumb - Nooooooo, just stupid. That is until I reached the ripe old age of 30. Then miraculously, overnight it seems, she gained massive amounts of wisdom.
  5. She doesn't have a rooster - so there won't be any surprises. The eggs are not fertilized.
  6. You aren't serious are you PC? Because if you are then I say - That is Sick & Tacky!
  7. What does this have to do with worthiness? Annabelli more often than not you are totally out in left field,
  8. Your posts are so callous and nonsensical, I did a search to see if perhaps you display a deficiency of some sort. I do not say that lightly or meanly. I didn't want to reply if there were an innate situation that wasn't controllable. However, what I found displayed no such disability. Rather, I found the following hypocrisies: Do you ever go to church? Do you listen? In my 25 years at Church I learned the exact opposite. This is a lovely Christian concept I remember learning in Church. However, according to you, apparently "all people" does not include heavy people. Rather, they are to be demeaned and ridiculed. You think that is helpful? Yet another lovely Christian concept. Except, that is, when the heavy load is a heavy person. Then rather than saying a prayer you seem to be uplifted by writing debasing posts that ridicule heavy people. Then I suggest that you are being really "s." After all, when it comes to disgracing heavy people, rather than displaying your blatant hypocrisy, as illustrated above, all you have to do is keep it to yourself. The way you talk is mean. Just plain mean. And that is "s." It's also hypocritical, considering you are a Latter-day Saint, and writing about "helping others" and "praying for someone." Is this seriously the kind of person you want to be? If the answer is no, then stop ridiculing heavy people. If you don't, then you are "s." Elphaba PS Are you saying you have placed books out of their proper order?If so, this is not something to proud of. It is unethical and a disservice to your customers. You do not have the right to make that call. Another "s" thing to do. E Beautiful Elphaba, you said what I would have liked to only all I could do was sputter!
  9. I have used those nicotene patches (that is how I quit smoking) and they do not smell, so it is probably something else that is stinking up the clothes. In any event, put them all back in the machine, add the normal amount of detergent then 1/4 C of Pine Sol. That gets out skunk spray - so it will get out what ever is making the clothes smell.
  10. Indeed. They didn't know how bad that asbestos could be to us. Of course anything for a buck - look how the manufacturers are pushing those "Power" drinks, and junk food and fast food. We have our agency to not purchase. We have our intelligence to learn what is good and to stick with it.
  11. When I got my two cats - Fred and Ethel - they were rescued feral kittens. They were about 4 weeks old and Fred was slowly starving to death. I was able to save Fred, by feeding him about every two hours. I had to keep him away from Ethel as she would beat the blazes out of him. She out weighed him by a pound and she was much stronger than he was. I kept Fred in the pocket of my bathrobe. He was warm, safe and away from Ethel. Consequently Fred became my little buddy. Ethel was very shy and timid. I couldn't pick her up, and I couldn't use a trick twice on her to get her into her carrier. Once Fred tipped the scales as three pounds, and Ethel was at 5.5 lbs. the Vet and I decided to let them interact together. They did just fine. Fast forward a year. I have married and moved them to Arizona. Ethel loves this house, there are so many diverse bugs and things for her to hunt and eat. Fred likes it here too, 'cause he has one more human to love him and to love. Ethel is leery of Husband. He seems okay - he doesn't even attempt to chase her around trying to pick her up. He ignores her mostly, and when she wants a rub or snuggle he sits still and lets her do it. OKAY - that makes her happy. Now we bring home a new human. Husbands mother. She has Alzheimers, and she is a small animal lover from way back. Mom is not comfortable in this house. She is restless, upset and she seldom sits still long enough to fall asleep. Fred and Ethel sneak out into the living room to see who has invaded their quiet little abode. Mom finally falls asleep, and while I am taking a shower - Fred and Ethel check out Mom. When I come out into the living room - there is Ethel, all curled up on Moms stomach and chest. Mom has her arms around her and she is sound asleep. Fred is curled up at her feet with his head on her instep and his front paws wrapped around her. As long as those cats are sitting near or on Mom, she is relaxed, quiet and more often than not sleeping. Ethel will not come to me unless I am not wearing street clothes and I must be in bed! But here she is sleeping on top of Mom, and Mom is in street clothes. We can not get her to wear anything but street clothes! Long, Long heart breaking story about that. Mom stays with us for three weeks until we can make travel arrangements for her to go to second sons home to live out the rest of her life. Ethel is almost a "velcro" kitty when it comes to Mom. She even goes into the bathroom when Mom gets her bath! That cat hates the bathroom! Because of her calmness when the cats are sleeping on, near, with her. Second son waits until she gets there, then takes her to the local humane society and gets her not only a cat - but a border collie. She is in 7th Heaven. She seldom "Sundowns", and she sleeps through the entire night! Back in Arizona with Ethel -shortly after Mom left, Ethel adopted Husband. She sleeps next to him when ever she can. She follows him around. She will also come to me now. When I am in street clothes and sitting on the sofa! She loves to sit at my feet when I am eating. No, she doesn't beg food - but she knows that I am going to be still for a certain amount of time, and she can get in her cuddle and snuggle then. Fred waits until I am almost asleep, then he curls up either behind my legs or on my tummy. Cats know when you need extra attention and loving. If it hadn't of been for Ethel, we would have had to sedate Mom. That is not good to do to Alzheimer's patients. I love cats - I loved my dogs too - but I really prefer Cats.
  12. Yes of course he has been added - you are the president and you just added him.
  13. Hmmm, well yes - now that we know what a troll is and why they do what they do- how can we avoid them? Get rid of them?
  14. Seriously, where did you get that from? Couldn't find any of that in the following.
  15. Yes I know that, Yed - I mentioned that because most people don't realize that the shell hardens after the egg has been laid. If the chicken isn't given enough calcium, the shell won't harden at all.
  16. Isn't the egg shell soft when it is first laid, then gets hard after it is exposed to the air? Why does any human kick any animal? Because they are mean and cruel and because most of the animals don't kick or fight back.
  17. Or Bishops and the Councilors who chew away during the entire Sacrament meeting! Geeez give us a break- they really do look like cows chewing their cuds!
  18. Yediyd, I have been a member since 1967 - I never heard of those either until a few years ago and it was via the internet. Why does it bother you so much? Because the anti's have you believing that it was kept deliberatly from you? It wasn't you know. As for you being badgered into getting baptised - did you go to the Bishop and tell him you were not ready? Did you have an interview with him first? You should have, and at that time you should have been asked if you were ready for this. I badgered my Bishop to get me baptised. He thought I already was. Took me two years to finally get through to him, and actually it was my Dad who got through. He took me to the Bishops home and said: Mr. Bishop, my daughter really wants to be baptised, is there some reason why you are not allowing it? The Bishop said, she already is, and Dad said - Check your records and show me the baptismal record. Sure enough, there was none. Guess what, I really don't remember much about that night, other than I had to be dipped three times. My right foot kept surfacing! I didn't understand that it was to wash away my sins either. That didn't sink in until I was at a baptism 6 years ago! You may think that you are ready for the meat - but sometimes we have to obey Father and stay on the milk for a bit longer. You can not run until you learn how to walk. You can not walk until you learn how to crawl, and you can not crawl until you learn how to hold your head up and roll over. Step by step. Line upon line, and precept upon precept. You need the milk before you can understand and appreciate the meat.
  19. Why aren't the school officials being brought onto the carpet about this? Apparently this "Spanking Day" is common, and it shouldn't be. I feel that the boys should be punished, and they have been - beyond the limit right now. But the School authorities who knew of this activity and overlooked it should be punished more than the boys. I too am scratching my head over: What does that have to do with anything? Other than to show a prejudice over anything Oregon?
  20. Congratulations Br & Sis Canuck - Just remember that there are three in your marriage - You, your wife and Heavenly Father.
  21. It is the Angel Moroni that sits atop nearly all of the Temples, not Mormon. Hello - I stated that also, guess it got lost in the translation.
  22. A couple lived near the ocean and used to walk the beach a lot. One summer they noticed a girl who was at the beach pretty much every day. She wasn't unusual, nor was the travel bag she carried, except for one thing. She would approach people who were sitting on the beach, glance around, then speak to them. Generally, the people would respond negatively and she would wander off, but occasionally someone would nod and there would be a quick exchange of money for something she carried in her bag. The couple assumed she was selling drugs and debated calling the cops, but since they didn't know for sure they just continued to watch her. After a couple of weeks the wife asked, "Honey, have you ever noticed that she only goes up to people with boom boxes and other electronic devices?" He hadn't and said so. Then she said, "Tomorrow I want you to get a towel and our big radio and go lie out on the beach. Then we can find out what she's really doing." Well, the plan went off without a hitch, and the wife was almost hopping up and down with anticipation when she saw the girl talk to her husband and then leave. The man walked up the beach and met his wife at the road. "Well, is she selling drugs?" she asked excitedly." No, she's not." he said, enjoying this probably more than he should have. "Well, what is it, then?" his wife fairly shrieked. The man grinned and said. "Her name is Sally and she's a battery salesperson." "Batteries?" cried the wife. "Yes," he replied. "Sally sells C cells by the seashore."
  23. I don't agree with you on this. I believe that the 2/3 of the Hosts of Heaven did obey Father in every way. Because we are here on earth, we are from that 2/3 of Hosts. I agree with you that once we obtained our mortal body, we have sinned. Some greatly, some not so greatly. Some have repented, been baptised, received the gift of the Holy Ghost, received their endowments, and in-between they have sinned. Little sins, larger sins, bigger sins. They have repented, not repented. Only Jesus knows for sure. We strive to be obedient. That is but one of our goals.
  24. Ask your Ward/Branch Librarian, she/he might know. I was Branch Librarian for 4 years and I don't recall that video. It could have been a filmstrip. Not all of the filmstrips were converted into video's.
