Truegrits Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 Martha's way:Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.The Real Women's Way:The Mrs. Smith frozen pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust so I just don't do it.Martha's way:To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. The Real Women's Way:Buy Hungry Jack mashed potato mix; keep it in the pantry for up to a year.Martha's way:When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking pan, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead, and there won't be any white mess on the outside of the cake.The Real Women's Way:Stop by the bakery. They'll even decorate it for you. Quote
Hemidakota Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 [1] "My husband and I were attending a fireside together while our children spent the evening at home. The phone rang and my six-year-old son, Joshua, answered the phone. It was my mother and she asked to speak to me. 'My mom isn't home right now. She is at a fire hydrant,' Joshua responded. After the laughter stopped, my older children reminded him it was 'fireside' and he told his grandmother a more correct location of where I was at. - Amy Hart - Lindon, Utah 2] "Sister Garrison was having a bit of a struggle with her teenage son. He continually came home later than the time they had agreed to, and she worried he was getting into trouble. "Sister Garrison finally told him, 'Every time you do something wrong, I get another gray hair.'"With a smile on his face, her son answered teasingly, 'Is that why grandma's hair is so gray?'" (Stories and Jokes of Mormon Folks, p. 134). 3] President Joseph Fielding Smith: "In teaching his children, President Smith often told them that 'wickedness never was happiness' and that the adversary would rather have one of his children than someone elses because of their name. He would add with a chuckle, 'In the beginning all men were 'Smiths,' and when they did something wrong they had to change their name'" (Stories and Jokes of Mormon Folks, p. 83).4] Elder J. Golden Kimball told this story about his father, President Heber C. Kimball: "I feel a good deal, I think, like my father did one time when he was praying. You know he was rather peculiar, and prayed in his own way. "He was praying about someone, and he stopped in his prayer and laughed very heartily, and then said, 'O Lord, forgive me, it makes me laugh to pray about some men.'" (Stories and Jokes of Mormon Folks, p. 124). 5] Here's another delightful tale involving one of the Brethren. Rudger Clawson and Golden were sent to California on assignment. This was always a source of much bemusement around Church headquarters. It would be hard to find another two men in the Church with such different temperments and sensibilities. Elder Clawson was a grimly serious fellow. . . Rumor had it Rudger requested these joint engagements to reign in Golden and keep him under control.Aunt Jennie pleaded with Golden to refrain from any swearing or getting out of control on this trip because it was so hard on Brother Clawson. Golden said he would do the best he could. They went to Sacramento and everything went fine---for a while. There were two stake conferences scheduled for that weekend. Golden did well at the first conference---most of it, anyway. In the last meeting of that first conference Golden got carried away. He had looked at the tithing records and the statistics on attendance at priesthood and sacrament meeting. The Saints weren't living up to their commitments. He told them they were all going to hell. When the meeting was over, Brother Clawson got up and walked out. Caught in a press of members, Golden just caught a glimpse of him leaving out of the corner of his eye. He excused himself and hurried back to the hotel to find Brother Clawson in the room, packing. "What are you doing, Rudger? Where are you going?" Brother Clawson said, "I just can't take it anymore. I'm going back to Salt Lake. You'll have to finish this second conference by yourself. Your swearing is just too much for me. It offends me. I can see that you're never going to change and I've had it!" Golden didn't know what to do. So he helped him pack. They walked out of the hotel and down to the train station. They stood there on the platform in an uncomfortable silence waiting for the train. Finally, they could see the train for Salt Lake coming. Golden thought he should say something. "Rudger, I'm sorry about this. It's just that I get worked up and I lose control and all my cowboy language comes back. I just say what's in my heart. I apologize to you." "But Rudger, if I didn't put some 'hells' and 'damns' in my talks they wouldn't listen to me anymore than they now listen to you!"There was a pause. Brother Clawson then threw his head back and laughed. "Oh, Golden, you'll be the death of me. C'mon, let's go finish the next conference." And they walked back to the hotel. (More J. Golden Kimball Stories, p. 54-56). Quote
candyprpl Posted September 20, 2008 Report Posted September 20, 2008 This one is computer humor.New Installation -- Husband 1.0Remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0, or Beer 6.1Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will create Snoring Loudly to run. Whatever you do DO NOT install Mother-In-Law 1.0 or reinstall another Boyfriend program. THESE ARE NOT SUPPORTED APPLICATIONS AND WILL CRASH Husband 1.0In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly.You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. I personally recommend HotFood 3.0 and Lingerie 7.7Good Luck,Tech Support Quote
Truegrits Posted September 21, 2008 Report Posted September 21, 2008 Bill Gates is hanging out with the chairman of General Motors. "If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades," boasts Gates, "you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50." "Sure," says the GM chairman. "But would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times a day?" Quote

Truegrits Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?"The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room."A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice: "The big sissy." Quote
pam Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about. For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover. In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling over $95,000. He asked her about the contents. ' When we were to be married, ' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll. ' The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. ' Honey, ' he said, ' that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from? ' ' Oh, ' she said, ' that's the money I made from selling the dolls. ' Quote

Truegrits Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 During a visit to a mental asylum, a visitor asked the Director what the criterion was which defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized."Well," said the Director, "we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.""Oh, I understand," said the visitor. "A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon or the teacup.""No." said the Director, "A normal person would pull the plug."Do you want a room with or without a view? :lol: Quote
AngelonaWing Posted September 24, 2008 Report Posted September 24, 2008 "I am the bishop of a ward in Texas, and have a wonderful Relief Society President. She has been a great blessing to our ward for several years, in this her second time to be called as a RS President. I have absolutely no question about her worthiness, so when I ran into her leaving the grocery store the other day with a 12-pack of beer in her cart I knew she wasn't buying it for herself, but my curiosity was certainly growing as to what the explanation to this would be. "We had visited briefly, and when I noticed it in her cart I was at such a loss as to how to react I decided not to react at all and to just wait and 'let the Spirit guide'. As soon as I got home, my laughing wife just had to tell me how frantic a phone call she had just received from a very excited RS President explaining that the grocery store sacker had apparently goofed. When she got to her car and started unloading her basket she discovered with horror the beer and realized she had just been in a conversation with her bishop who seemed to cut their conversation short for some reason! She took the beer back in the store and told them it wasn't hers, to which the store employee asked her if she wanted it anyway. She screamed: 'Absolutely not! It has already caused enough damage!'" --Name withheld by request - TX USA (From Latter-day Humor) Quote

Gwen Posted September 27, 2008 Report Posted September 27, 2008 got this one in an email.... How many menopausal women does it take to change a light bulb? Woman's Answer: One! ONLY ONE!!!! And do you know WHY? Because no one else in this house knows HOW to change a light bulb! They don't even know that the bulb is BURNED OUT!! They would sit in the dark for THREE DAYS before they figured it out. And, once they figured it out, they wouldn't be able to find the stupid light bulbs despite the fact that they've been in the SAME CABINET for the past 17 YEARS! But if they did, by some miracle, actually find them, 2 DAYS LATER, the chair they dragged to stand on to change the STUPID light bulb would STILL BE IN THE SAME SPOT!!!!! AND UNDERNEATH IT WOULD BE THE WRAPPER THE FREAKING LIGHT BULBS CAME IN!!! BECAUSE NO ONE EVER PICKS UP OR CARRIES OUT THE GARBAGE!!!! IT'S A WONDER WE HAVEN'T ALL SUFFOCATED FROM THE PILES OF GARBAGE THAT ARE A FOOT DEEP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE HOUSE!! IT WOULD TAKE AN ARMY TO CLEAN THIS PLACE! AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON WHO CHANGES THE TOILET PAPER ROLL !! I'm sorry. What was the question? Quote
AngelonaWing Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 There were three retired clergymen who, after eating lunch together, started discussing when "life" truly begins.The rabbi said, "Life begins at birth". The priest emphatically disagreed and said, "No, life begins at conception." The "discussion" continued for several minutes until they turned to the protestant pastor and asked him what he thought. The wise old pastor said, "Welllll...I think you are BOTH wrong....for me, life began when the last child moved out and the dog died." Quote
Guest SisterofJared Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 LOLOLOLOL!

What is it about men and children?????????????????????????????????????????????????? Oh well. They're nice to snuggle with. Sister of Jared PS this is NOT a man bash.

What's yours?The other dog thought for a minute, and then replied:"I think it's Down Boy."A man was walking through a cemetery one dark and stormy night. As he got well into the cemetery, he heard a voice say, "Mark! Mark!". Pretending not to let it bother him, he pulled his coat a little tighter and kept walking. Again the voice said, "Mark! Mark!".That did it! He took off full speed and didn't stop till he was well outside the gates. As he stopped to catch his breath, the moon broke through the clouds enough so he could see what had been following him.It was a dog with a hare lip. A woman seated at the movies was surprised to find, sitting in the two adjacent seats, a man with his arm around a sheep dog. All through the movie, she noticed the dog watching the picture with apparent understanding, snarling when the villain appeared, yelping happily at the funny parts.At the end of the movie, she tapped the man on the shoulder."I just can't get over how much your dog enjoyed the movie," she said. "It surprises me too," the man answered, "He absolutely despised the book."My dog is a nuisance. He chases everyone on a bicycle. What can I do?Take his bike away. Quote
