Section 89 : 10-11 10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man— 11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving. So....is marijuana a wholesome herb?

When my oldest son was 18 months old our home burned to the ground. We lost everything. My hubby and I and the little one got out with only what we were wearing. We stayed with friends for a few months while we got back on our feet (not members at the time, I learned about the church after my divorce). I'm not sure really what we went through though because I kept waiting for the "terrible reality" to set in like everyone told me it would but it never did. Whenever I thought about the fire I could never get past the idea that it could have been so much worse. I've always just been grateful for our lives.

Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread to begin with.

About TMI. There was a fuel meltdown. That's really the worst thing that can happen along with a breach in the containment building. Even though there was a tiny breach there was almost no radiation leaked. What did escape disapated before it reached the plant boundaries.

I was a nuclear reactor operator for 25 years. I officially retired this June. The problem with Chernoble wasn't just a bad desing. The biggest problem was the Shift Supervisor was overruled when he wanted to shut the experiment down by the security guard. That's right. The KGB officer was allowed to overriule the Shift Supervisor because there were going to be people coming in from other countries to observe the experiments and the government didn't want things to look bad. I atill find that amazing after all these years.

I can get just about any baby to go to sleep.

I was on vacation in Jamaica with my husband. We had slept in and were having a late breakfast in the dining room when we were told. It took us 5 days to get back into the US.

My son was 5 years old when he was given a blessing during sacrament.

All the states except Alaska and Hawaii. The British West Indies Canada Mexico Jamaica Tried to go to Russia but my visa was denied.

I'd pick healing for practical purposes. It would save a bunch of money every month that is otherwise spent on health insurance. But if I could pick any super power at all it would be the ability to read minds but only if I could turn the power on and off.

Oxygen. That's what makes me crazy. Apparently anyway.

My son is 29 years old, has Down syndrome and is autistic. He has a testable IQ of a little over 20. He obviously cannot decide what is right or wrong, make covenants, or be held accountable for his actions. He is verbally extremely low functioning and spends most of his free time spinning a gyroscope or rolling a ball or playing with his barrel of monkeys. Yet there is something very special and spiritual about him. My home feels better when he is in it. Did he do something pretty cool in the pre-existence? I don't dread death the way a lot of people do because I can hardly wait to find out what it was.

Absolutely. I feel like I'm ready for kindergarten and the rest of the world is in college. I'm not old enough to watch most of what's on TV. I'm not old enough to see most of the movies that come out. I'm not old enough to listen to most of the music on the radio. I'm not old enough to read most of the books on the bestseller lists. I'm 52.

I only noticed the bar at the bottom after reading this thread.

From the title of this thread I thought you were talking about my mind.

From the article: Police arrested the boy and took him to a local hospital for evaluation. He was not hurt. If that was my kid that 'not hurt' condition would have been a temporary one.

I'm glad you have a good counselor. I've been in counseling twice, once as a teen and then again when I was going thru the divorce with the scary guy. Good counselors can truly be life savers and sanity savers. I think the trick with this problem lady is complete indifference and to totally ignore her. Anything else is feeding her fantasy of being your friend. Maybe it would help to put her name in the temple. She needs help.

If your area is unseasonably cold I can tell you that Texas is picking up your slack. It's been so hot and dry here this summer that I have had to get out the leaf blower nearly every day to clear off my patio. The trees can't handle it.

What? You don't have a "Burkhas R Us" near you?

He never said they were sacred but from his behavior I knew they were to him. Is the ROOTWB password the yabba dabba do thingy?

I don't worry much because my kids are grown now and I have a gun. I hope your friend is wrong but am afraid she's right. Sometimes all it takes to escalate the situation is to ignore the person. It's like they want to have control over you and won't be satisfied unless you give it to them. Did you talk with your bishop about it yet?

Dear Lilered, When I get up to go to the bathroom during the night my husband jumps up and grabs all the Boston ferns that hang in our living room and he puts them on my side of the bed. He says he doesn't ever remember doing this. How can I get him to stop this behavior or should I just stop drinking after 5:00pm?

Morningstar, My ex got really bad after that and ended up in prison. I had his parental rights terminated and my last name changed and we moved so I haven't seen him now in almost 23 years. Maybe you are on the down hill side of this problem you're having now. If you don't acknowledge her letter and don't give her any attention at all, maybe she'll give up. That'll be my prayer for you situation.

I O here too. I was raised in Lima.

My dad was a Mason and he always said they were not a "secret society" but they were a "society of secrets".
