You have no idea how much Yediyd really misses her coffee! That girl can miss coffee like no one else on this earth can miss coffee! One day someone is going to write a Relief Society song about the Mormon convert who sang as she missed, and missed, and missed her cof--fee! Okay, iambic pentameter it's not. But Yediyd will appreciate my lack of lyrical skills. hehehehe Yediyd is one of the most enthusiastic members you will ever meet in your life. She is a constant inspiration to me and I love her dearly. Elphaba

Yes. Yes I did. Elphie

Well, where do you think Jesus would be then? I don't see what was so offensive. I think it's a valid question. I'm not a member, but if it turned out Mormonism were true, I imagine He would join with the GAs and take over the head of the First Presidency, with President Hinckley, of course, standing directly next to Him. I suspect Jesus would dress to fit in our modern society, and that He soon would act much as President Hinckley does today. Of course there are prophecies that need to be filled that you members know more of than I. But I don't think He would be walking down the sidewalk in robes and a beard. That would likely catch the eyes of police officials as they would be concerned he might be a Brian David Mitchell wannabe. At the very least, a man in robes and a beard walking the streets in 2007 would not be condusive to making friends and spreading the word of the gospel. But, then, you never know. Maybe it'll be exactly the opposite, and President Hinckley and the rest of the GA's will be the ones making the major changes. How long do you think it would take for them to all grow beards? :) Elphaba

Hi bunnzy,I've already posted a YouTube: O Mio Babbino Caro. But if it's all right with the powers that be, I'd rather not make it a thread. Too many excellent videos get lost in the middle of the thread. We'll see if they object to my voluminous postings. To put your picture in your avatar, you need to go to "My Controls." Then to "Edit Avator Settings." Make sure your picture is 80 x 80 pixels. You can follow the instructions from the options on how to upload the picture. If you're still having trouble, let me know.

Here is a YouTube of Dame Kiri Te Tanawa singing O Mio Babbino Caro. These are absolutely my favorite notes in the opera world, and they just happen to combine into a very famous Italian Aria. It's from Puccinni's Gianni Schicchi , and it is pure magic. If you've ever seen "A Room with a View," you'll know what I'm talking about. (I can't stand it that I'll never get to be Lucy Honeychurch! Hmph!) Anyway, you may remember Kiri Te Tanawa from Princess Diana's wedding to that big-eared doofus in 1981. She sang at their ill-fated wedding. O Mio Babbino Caro. Enjoy. Elphaba

I pushed the button and I'm now the new bishop! Elphaba

PATOOTIE!!! You little sweetie! What a great surprise! What do you think of the place? I think some of the egos at LDSTalk were brought down a peg or two the past few days. What do you think? There are no HUGS smilies so ```````HUG``````` will have to do. Love ya Patoots! Elphie

Remember how I told you my laptop imploded? Well, I got my new one today! And guess what? It has Vista! I sort of like it so far. I don't do much more than go online and do a lot of searches so I can pretend than I'm really smart. I love my Notebook! I was definitely in withdrawals! No 12-step program for me! Bah! Elphie

'Tis true, dear friend. I have missed you terribly. Elphie

Yed! I just came upon your, er, lovely, invitation to partake of, MOI, for desert! You know, atheists make for a much lighter desert. Not having to follow a gazillion rules will do that to a person. May I suggest Creme Puffs? The pastry practically floats with no Ten Commandments to hold it down. As far as the coffee, right back at ya! Elpheba

Iggy! The green girl made it! We'll see, shan't we? I hope this works out for you. I think I'll hang around as well. Maybe it will be a nice change. Or, maybe I'm here because I'm just going to miss everyone so much. Love, Elphie

Hi Garden Girl, Actually you may remember me as Jaynee Doe, but then you might not. It's been a long time since I posted at FAIR/MAD. I've been spending my time at LDSTALK, where I made some wonderful friends who are abandoning ship and coming over here. So I thought I'd come and see what all the fuss is. I'm an ex-Mormon who is NOT an anti-Mormon. I'm in North-Utah, divorced with two children. One who I think has met her Prince Charming, and the other who I'm afraid is never going to meet his princess, and that makes me very sad. I'm disabled and spend a lot of time bed bound, but that gives me lots of free time to pursue my passion, which is Mormon history. I am in absolute awe of our pioneers who suffered so much day in and day out, and then took the long trek to the Great Salt Lake. Additionally there are still pioneers in the Chuch where you'll still find stories to match those of the 19th century. It's hard to explain to people, especially believing members, but I love this Church. It is my legacy, even though I'm not a believer. My family is all Mormon, and I love them so. I am saturated with Mormonism, and while I have issues with parts of it I find there are other parts that inspire me to this day. That's one of the reasons I left MAD. There was no room for someone like me--I was mocked and derided, and I will not let my beliefs and passions be demeaned. I'm sure you can understand that as I have enjoyed your posts often. I had a lot of problems signing on, so it is nice to finally be here. Thanks to Yediyd, my friend!

I just wandered over here from another forum.... Thought I would say Hello! ...Yed tells me you folks are a nice bunch...
