Iggy

According to your profile you were born in 1968- that makes me 16 years older than you. Old enough to be your mother, No, I wouldn't know your GGGrandfather. Heck I didn't even know any of my Grandfathers, let alone any of the Greats. My GGrandmother on my mothers side passed away while I was in my late teens - she lived too far away for me to get to know her, and in the last 10 years of her 100 years she was senile. She knew me when we lived in the next city from her when I was born, then we moved to the West coast. My Grandmother (mothers mother) is the only one I knew, and she lived with us. All the rest of the grands (greats included) passed away before I was born. As for Pam and I being old- she is younger than me, and neither one of us feels or acts old, no walkers, canes or wheel chairs or even motorized scooters for us. Those who continually bring up the age remarks as though it is a great burden to be older, are not secure in their own age.

They are secret combinations. They only do for their own, period. When my ex husband was in the lodges- I saw what they do in their meetings. At the moose they pray facing the east, and it is a printed prayer and they do not pray to the biblical God through his Son Jesus, they do not use any form of the Bible at all. The women do the same thing, and they tell you that if ANY of the rites are spoken of outside the doors, you will be kicked out and ostracized, with an unspoken threat that it will encompass where you work and your business if you own one. I spoke of them- and got kicked out. The four years my ex and I were still there, the only public good the lodge did was hand out a scholarship to two high school kids in the amount of $500 each. Big deal, they could have easily made that $5,000. As for the Elks, I never heard of them helping the public at all. They both exist to provide cheap alcoholic drinks to their paying members. Yep, you pay to belong to them. Yearly dues. They do have activities, but they are for members only. In this town the moose opens their doors to feed the hungry on Thanksgiving. That is it for their public services. Oh, and they have Bingo once a week that is open to the public. The moose also has gambling- because they are a 'Fraternal' Organization they don't pay the taxes that a retail business has to pay- they are exempt from laws that prohibit gambling. Yes, Oregon state has gambling, and nearly all retail business's have it, but the 'Fraternal' organizations also have in house poker, blackjack, and 4-5-6 that are run by private individuals that pay the lodge a percentage of the wins. That form of gambling is illegal in Oregon in retail establishments. The moose have Moose Heart & Moose Haven- it is a community where orphaned children of members go. It is also where member adults go who need 24 hour care. Had an elderly female friend go there after her husband passed away- I wrote to her a couple of times, my letters came back unopened, stamped on the front that said person was not at that address. She is the one who wrote to me and gave me that address. Oh, by the way, the lodge that sent the orphans has to pay for their upkeep there, and the adult members who go there for assisted living also have to pay monthly to be there.

Personally I think the Moose Lodge, Elks Lodge, etc qualify too. Lizzy, my husband has researched out the Illuminati, before and during which, he made sure to keep the spirit with him. He stopped often and prayed. He would double check things using his standard works. He also printed off things for me to read. I would scan it, but the spirit told me not to read in depth. I got a roiling in my gut- and felt like I was touching filth, spiritual filth. This I explained to my husband, and he didn't feel that I was being childish or over zealous. He also rightly assumed that I was not telling him NOT to read/research this. I was concerned that he was allowing himself to be open to Satan's minions. When he assured me that he was praying, and keeping the Holy Spirit close, then I left him to his research. I am not telling you NOT to research this out. Just to do so carefully. Keep the Holy Spirit with you, pray for council and for protection. Heed the Holy Spirit. This may not be the right time for you to study about the Illuminati- perhaps later in your life it will be. For Your Information my husband was 67 years old when he did his research.

I am diabetic, so when I fast I only fast one meal, breakfast- when church is over, before I can get in the car and drive home I have to eat something, so I take a zip bag of Ritz crackers w/peanut butter, and drink one of those yogurt drinks, along with drinking 8 oz of water. I then have lunch when I get home. Husband waits to eat dinner, thus fasting two consecutive meals. I also can NOT go 12 hours without drinking water. Since my Dr is LDS also, I am fasting under a Dr's care and with the Spirit of the Lord.

sent you a pmSlam, Where are your answers? You are pretty good with trivia, you should get them all right.

Can you define the bolded for me? How is their marriage open?

Nope, you got that one correct.

Doesn't the sacrament break the fast? So then it should be the two meals before your sacrament.

Happy Birthday

John Wayne, hands down. Not just because of his movies either, he was such a nice man. My oldest brother did some repair work on Wayne's yacht. He found this diamond necklace that was clogging up the loo, and took it to Wayne. Wayne told him to keep it, Told him that it doesn't belong to me or mine. My brother was able to pay off his home with that necklace.

Sheesh - For crying out loud slamjet don't get your knickers in such a knot. I was NOT calling you a liar or an idiot or stupid, and I resent you implying that I did. I stated what I have seen in my genealogy- that twins are born to the males and females on my Dads side of the family. The Surname Girl married and had twins. The Surname Boy married and had twins. OF course I don't have the family history for the spouses they married- so don't know if there are twins there. Get a grip will ya.

This is the letter that accompanied my written Patriarchal Blessing. COUNSEL FOR THOSE WHO RECEIVE A PATRIARCHAL BLESSING 1. All promises and blessings spoken in a patriarchal blessing are conditioned upon the worthy, faithful living of the person receiving the blessing. 2. A patriarchal blessing should be read periodically and prayerfully. 3. A patriarchal blessing is sacred and personal. It should not be read by casual friends or acquaintances. A person may, however, share with family members. 4. Although a patriarchal blessing is a sacred guideline of information, promises, and counsel from the Lord to help an individual through life, the person receiving a blessing should not expect it to outline all that will happen to him or her, or answer all questions. 5. If a possible future development, for example marriage or a mission, is not stated in a patriarchal blessing, this does not necessarily mean that it will not come. The Lord, for his purposes, may say certain things to one person in his or her patriarchal blessing and different things to another person. 6. Occasionally members of the same family receive patriarchal blessings declaring them to be of different lineage. Families are sometimes of mixed lineage, and one lineage will be dominant in one child, with a different lineage dominant in another child. 7. A patriarchal blessing should be viewed from an eternal perspective. Somethings blessings promised may not come in this life, but may be realized in eternity. Taken from the Handbook for Patriarchs. Perhaps this puts a better perspective on why your LDS friend refused to discuss this with you. Also, why do you have your mothers blessing? Has she passed away?

My migraines started when I hit puberty. Long, heavy hair, needing glasses, and smoked/fermented/aged foods were my triggers. Took me decades to learn the triggers. I hadn't had a migraine in nearly 5 years, then had the 'Grand Daddy' of them all a year after my second marriage. I got home from work safely. Husband made an appointment with his Chiropractor for me, and took me in. I couldn't see, and the sun, noise and smells were nearly too much of an overload of pain for me. The Dr manipulated my neck and shoulders. In a matter of minutes the pain felt like it was flowing down through my body and out my feet. Never in my life had a migraine gone away that quickly. Since that day, I have only had the onset of a migraine twice. Each time was my day off and I went to the Chiropractor. For $10.00 co-pay, not only did he alleviate my migraine, but also the aches in the rest of my body.:) Our insurance covers 20 visits a year. Believe me, I go 20 times a year. Twice a year I also treat myself to a full body massage after seeing the Chiropractor. Try alternating Aleve with the Ibuprofen. I never used anything stronger than Aspirin. Took 6 of them at the onset. Kept the pain from being so horrible.

That isn't necessarily so- on my Dad's side of the family there are twins galore. My fathers brothers and uncles have twins, and his aunts have twins. So far I have researched his uncles family lines- wives, children, grandchildren, and at last count there were 18 sets of twins spanning three generations in just one family. Dad's Uncle Abraham had two wives with a total of 11 children. Of the 8 children who lived to marry and have children, 5 of them had twins. Two were male and three females. So the maternal/paternal doesn't hold with them. Then one of the daughters of the uncle, had two sets of twins. I last had contact with them in 2003, they were 82 years old! Both had given birth to twins, yet only one of each set lived. My mother had still born twins between my older sister and me. My little sisters daughter had identical twin boys. They just turned 8 this last year. Also on my Mom's side of the family there are some twins. Not nearly as many as my Dad's side, but a few. I am still gathering genealogical info on her side, as well as on my Dad's.
