I was just browsing and came upon this interesting YouTube about a new baby's sense. So many of you are mommy's I thought you'd enjoy it. Elphie

Hi MorningStar, I'd seen that before but remember how clever it was, so I watched it again and it didn't disappointed.I hope you're having a lovely morning because I have a lovely treat. It's Cecelia Bartoli and Renee Fleming, singing Le Nozze di Figaro - Sull'aria, in Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. :) I loved it, and knowing you you will too. Take care, Elphaba

Okay, you asked for it and you got it. Here is the premier thread for all of the amazing, spectacular, crazy and blockbluster YouTubes we'll find for each other to watch when we just need a giggle, a bit of culture, or just to be wowed! Our premier YouTube has been selected by Siouxz, and will be the enigmatic and beloved Gene Kelley singing and dancing to . What a Great Start, don't ya think? Feel free to add to this thread any thing you would like everyone to see that you think is special. Of course, we might not agree. But you can post it anyway. Also, could someone who knows a mod request that the thread be pinned, so that it doesn't get sucked into deadsville on page two? That keeps it fresh even if no one posts for a day or two. If you have any questions, let me know. Until then, get your umbrellas and your wellies . . . cuz we're gonna splash in some puddles!!! Elphaba

Oh Siouxz, don't take me so seriously. I was fine. I look forward to getting to know you too. And thank you for the compliment. :) Elphaba

Hey! I just saw this! What do you mean "even" Elphaba? Hmph! hehehehehehe Welcome siouxz. The Wicked Witch Elphaba B)

Doh! Homer Simpson (Don't be mad at me! It's in the dictionary.) Morningstar, do you think your Evangelical friend would still love me even if I like the Simpsons? (I tire of Evangelicals who "love Mormons anyway.") Elphaba

I'd tell you, but then I'd get kicked off the board! LOVE YOU YEDIYD! Elphaba

Why Moksha! You are a sight for sore fingertips! You see, I've been a bad girl lately. You know me and how I get in one of my "stirring the pot" moods. Well, I did, and now I'm pooped. (open whine) Why can't they ever admit I'm right? (close whine) In fact, I'm weary. I feel like the conversation became a little sordid . . . nothing terrible, but, well, yes, to me, it was. So I popped over here to see if any friends were online, and voila! I find your message waiting for me! You probably don't know this, but I have been your admirer for years! Yes, years! I am so glad we have become friends on LDS TALK, and want you to know you always brighten my day and make me feel special. BTW, since we're probably the only two Democrats here, you need to pop over there and see the video in the Current Events section. Thank you dear, dear Moksha. Elphaba

Yed, You think they're kidding. They're not. All my life I've had people seriously ask me about my horns. Of course, I really have some extra bone growth on my temples, so it was a problem. Elphaba

I can't wait until you come to Utah. You crack me up! Elphie

There were a few real hits! ```````````````````````` You have 14 close friends. But Heather is your closest friend. Steve knows you the best, so have a long chat with this person and you might find out something important about yourself. Stacey is your lucky star. This person will bring luck (usually unexpedetedly). You are deeply in love with David and your feelings are like the song "Barracuda". You like Brian , but it is not "meant to be"... kind of like the song " Caruso". The song, " Rehab" says a lot about how you think, while the song, " Defying Gravity" tells how you feel about life in general. 51 is your lucky number, and it's also a good number of people to tell about this test. ``````````````````````````````````````` Elphaba

Yes, that would be lovely.Thank you very much! Elphaba

Hey Iggy, um, just what, uh, did you do to your. . . ? hair? (Is that hair?) It looks like one of those doo's that's so messy it probably takes hours to do! Elphie

I have felt so low today because the maestro is gone. Twenty years ago I watched the three tenors, purchased the CD, expanded my collection, and never looked back. I am a huge opera fan and it is especially because of the man with the delightful face and the huge girth which was trifling compared to his stunning, wondrous and enchanting life. I will miss him terribly. Here he is singing one of my favorites: It's Una Furtiva Lagrima written by Gaetano Donzinette Una Furtiva Lagrima For those who love opera as I do, here is a treat that I’m sure the maestro would want us to enjoy. It’s the story of an unassuming cell phone salesman with a dream that comes true, and gives you chills at the same time. Enjoy. Paul Potts 1 I hope you enjoy Paul's story as much as I did, and do. Elphaba

I had no idea. I thought they were barbaric thirty years ago, and I still think they are. I'm really stunned. Elphaba

Aww sweet Moksha, you always make my heart feel as if it is a worthy one. I don't feel that often. Elphaba

That is barbaric! Where does your SIL live that they gave her an IUD, if you don't mind saying. I'm serious, I really don't think they use them that much any more. There are so many advanced methods of BC. Well, it's none of my business. It's just awful that she had to go through that. Her doctor must be . . . sigh. Shut up Elphaba. Elphaba

I almost picked that one Moksha, but she's not dressed "Italian." Gorgeous voice, though. Elphie Ooops! I posted to my own thread! This was meant for Moksha!

I didn't know they still made those! I haven't heard of anyone using one of those for 25 years! OUCH! Elphaba

Don't worry. I'll be a good bishop. I don't think anybody will really notice that I'm not a man, ya think? Elphaba

That was beautiful. There is a lot of poetry in his journal. How come you have this? Is it just lying around waiting for Elphaba to get all twitterpated over? Also, do you know if he had a grandaughter named Maggie? I found a picture of a Zeke and his daughter Maggie at Rainbow Bridge in Southern Utah, and it makes sense it would be them, but I'm not sure. Do you know? Zeke and Maggie ??? Elphie

You KNOW how I love this stuff! I googled Joel Hills Johnson and found quite a bit of information to read. In case anyone's interested, here's a journal of his from 1861 to 1882 that, from the little bit I've read so far, was fascinating. He was in Kirtland, and in Nauvoo with the Prophet, and then in Utah. He was the whole package, wives and all! I thought I'd post this poem he wrote in honor of his three wives, whom he appeared to love very dearly: TO MY WIVES Oh, Susie dear, with love and cheer May all with thee be well My love for thee, while true to me, This tongue can never tell. And Jennie, love, Can I reprove Or say thou are untrue With love like mine, and virtue thine, I always shall say no. And Maggie, too, my love for you I cannot now express While thou to me shall faithful be, I shall thee love and bless. Should each prove true their work to do Like true and faithful wives Then all shall share, my love and care With crown of endless l lives. I can't wait to take the time to really read his journal thoroughly. Thank you Stu for such a lovely treat. You're such a good boy! Mummy

Ah, but what substance there is is substantial, and there's no pre-heating necessary! Elphaba

Hi Steele, I have a question. How is one "a born and raised LDS convert"? My brain is banging against the sides of my skull trying to figure that one out. Were you born, converted two days later, and then considered a convert for the rest of your life? Hmmmm. Works for me! Elphaba
