Okay, so I have a funny story. I was looking at a thread in the LDS forum, and there was this video disproving the book of Mormon. It was a very interesting video, and I wanted to look at this supposed book of Mormon, so I went to the LDS website and clicked on the little "get free book of Mormon" link, filled out a form, and was done.

So like two days later I'm sitting on the couch and my brother comes in saying there's company for me at the door. My first thought was "how did someone get my address" lol but I went and discovered it was Mormon missionaries (the elders from the local LDS temple). As quickly as they had come, they handed me the book and some of their church literature and left me alone.

Anyways, I was surprised at how quickly they responded! Haha if you even would think about action being taken that quickly in our church! Too bad we don't take lesson from the passion of non-Christian churches once in awhile..which is really quite sad if you think about it..

But anyways, you're probably waiting for the funny part..but the story's over now.

So I'm gonna quit burning the midnight oil and hit the hay. :) (Oh yes, and happy thread split everyone! Does this occassion constitue reason to get off of school tomorrow? ;))

You don't really think that is going to be your last visit from them do you? No way. They know where you live now and they think, you're interested in becoming a Mormon. LOL I'll be praying for you.

Well I figured this behavior would be more humorous than that whole heretical blood atonement thing they have going on. You know, how the blood of Jesus wasn't sufficient to pay for some sins committed so their own blood has to be spilt. How they ever came up with that doctrine I'll never know, and even if I did know, I doubt I'd understand.

[Zecryphon]

Well, as a watcher of Big Love, it seems you rotate the wives. But all wives make up a committee of sorts, and if the wives are opposed to something the husband wants to do they can overrule him. It's really weird.

I guess I just need to come out and tell her There's quite a few differences in between Lutheran and Baptist teachings. She made me feel like I was wrong. Am I?

Absolutely not. You have examined the material and teaching. You have found it inadequate. there is no need to feel guilty or that you have done anything wrong.

Enjoy the freedom of the truth! :)

Who's right, who's wrong? Only Christ himself will be able to tell us in the end. As to the disagreement with your Baptist friend? Tell her that Martin Luther didn't have much patience with the Ana-Baptists and disagreed with them five hundred or more years ago. Ask her if she's more knowledgeable than him. Tactfully, of course.:o

Are you wrong? No more than your friend is. As a Lutheran though... You are right and your Baptist friend is wrong. And that's the truth, so there.:P

That's true, maybe wrong was the wrong word to use, maybe trying to make me feel guilty or something. Actually is a Lutheran womens bible study using Beth moore who is Baptist. There's a lot of difference between the 2 denominations like baptism and the Lords Supper.

That quite possible. It was home made bean soup which is not my favorite but was still pretty good, I actually wanted another bowl but that was all that was left. I guess that was enough to brew up a good load of gas anyway ^_^

[latebloomer]

Seajoy, send me some of that chicken soup! I spent the weekend sick in bed and I could use some. And I'll have a couple of Studeclunker's snickerdoodles for dessert. Now all I need is a big glass of milk to go with them.

We don't ever seem to get any Mormons around here. We have Jehovahs Witnesses, though.

[ctay]

Anyone buy any coffee beans and grind them or just buy the whatever's already ground?

[Jim47]

We just always buy Folgers classic or dark roast, but I remeber years ago getting fresh ground from A&P. Once in a while we will indulge in Starbucks :yum: but I dodn't drink much coffee anymore, mostly tea.

[ctay]

My son and daughter in law bought me one of those grind and brew coffee makers so we've been testing some different kinds of beans

[Zecryphon]

My son and daughter in law bought me one of those grind and brew coffee makers so we've been testing some different kinds of beans
I grind and brew usually at the store or the coffeehouse. I did have a separate grinder, but I've always found that the personal grinders always leave some beans either totally unground or half ground and that just irks me. In order for me to grind all the beans equally, the finished product is always more finely ground than I would like it. I've thought about investing in a commercial grade grinder.

Shouts of heresy all over, most likely! LOL You should set up a few stakes in the backyard with some wood near the bottom. One for each Mormon. Then take them out to the patio for the discussion. If they ask what the stakes are for, tell them they're there just in case this discussion goes as expected. LOL

Actually, I had a chance to talk with some JW's that came to my house a few weeks ago. They were telling me that I needed to read my Bible everyday and believe in Christ. I love it when people like that stop by, cuz I always hit them with the question: "why?" And they said and I quote: "To be happy." LOL I said, but how does that erase my sin problem? They were like a deer in headlights. Then we got to the end times and I destroyed them there too. They asked me, "What denomination are you." I told them and they thanked me for my time and left. LOL

[RadMan]

I buy the beans and then grind them at the store if I can. My concern is the ongoing possibility of plastic containers and heating emissions that leach bisphenol-A from polycarbonates or possibly carcinogens. In other words I will make my ongoing search into totally metal coffee makers. If there is such a thing. Paranoid? Well better safe than sorry.

[seajoy]

Man Rad...my coffee is just done brewing in my all plastic coffee maker. Should I drink it or not? :eek:

[LilLamb219]

Hey guys, I need advice...

I've been thinking of offering art lessons to kids ages 9-17 in my area (private and semi-private) within my home. I'm stuck on what to charge though as I'd like to offer both an hourly charge and half hour charge. Supplies will be included and it depends on what the student desires to learn about to consider how much that cost will be. The reason I'm including supplies is so that I know that everything will be ready for each lesson.

Anyway, if you were going to send your child to private lessons, or semi-private with a friend, what would you seriously pay?

[filosofer]

Not sure, but Excel Training runs between $50-100 per hour.

[ctay]

I'm not sure what the average rate is to charge.

I'm ready for summer, someone sent me some snow.

Here's what I got yesterday

[LilLamb219]

I hadn't named them yet, forgot to ask the lady that I got them from if they named them.

How about Tweedledee and Tweedledum? ^_^

I love Seajoy's answer as to which is which! :P

Rev, glad you made it there safely...blow that warm air up north, will ya?

[BreadAlone]

If they are male and female be careful. They have LOTS of babies. And the babies somehow get through the wire and out of the cage.
Some friends of the family got two dwarf hampsters from their grandma as a present once. The store told them they were both male, but as it turns out..no.

They ended up with dozens of hampsters they had to get rid of; we even ended up with one; and that thing lived a LONG time! Four years if I remember correctly; and it escaped it's cage for weeks on end sometimes too. You just began to think it's dead under a chair somewhere and bam you find it running around the basement..ahh..I miss that hampster..:( I want to buy another one but yeah the parents won't go for that.

Anyways the moral of the story is separate cages is a good policy for animals where gender is a hard thing to discern! :P

[LilLamb219]

I know how to tell the genders...but I'd have to tell you in a PM :) Even then, ooooh I might get reported!

[Studeclunker]

Good news indeed. Those stupid ole cell phones, you can't live with them and you can't live without them ^_^

I live on mine all day long

Well, when it comes to Cell phones, one has to live without them in Trinity County. We haven't any reception outside of the centre of town. The price of living in the sticks.;)

As to the hamsters, I think the average life span is only around a year or two. So four years is phenominal. I'll stick to Dogs though, thanks.

You know, it's really funny how God works sometimes. I won't give out the details yet (don't want to queer the deal). It seems sometimes that the Lord has solutions to our prayers before we even utter them. God is good.

[ctay]

They are both males, if it was a male and female I don't think I would have took them.

[ctay]

I have a hard time picking up a reception where I live, if I do get one I better not even breathe

If anybody would be watching me with my cell at my cabin they would think that I look like those old sonar antennas. I stand outside on the porch and rotate around in circles sometimes to get reception.

Praying for you. :pray:

[mrshoperose]

Even with two of the same gender, you might want to separate them. Hamsters like to live solitary lives, and might fight if you keep them together. They usually live up to about 3 years, so yes, 4 years was a long time for that hamster!

I know all this because we have (and have had) a lot of hamsters. We have researched a ton on the internet...after our first hamster had babies... And we have a couple hamster books. We did give away two hamsters (both male) to my husband's sister, and she kept them in the same cage. They were from the same litter, so we thought everything would be ok. Unfortunately the "group scent" got rubbed off the first time the kids handled them, so the started fighting with each other almost immediately. They ended up killing each other not long after.

[ctay]

They are gerbils, read up on them, everything I read says its better to have 2 or more because they don't like to be alone, also its alright to have 2 males together, says the females are more aggressive. These 2 from what the lady said have been together all the time. They haven't fought yet.

[Studeclunker]

Hi everyone! Kettle's singing and the pot's warming. I thought some nice Plantation Mint for this morning. Someone else will have to pour out though. I've got to get to work. Oh, yes, a plate of thumb-print biscuits with raspberry jam.

Say a prayer that our employer doesn't freak. He's got a sizable bill due today and larger next week.

I hope you all have a great day.:D :D

It will sure be cold for the Packers/Giants game tomorrow. -35 wind chill. My neighbors have tickets and are going! brrrr
But Packers fans have very warm hearts...so I'm sure they will be cozy all sitting tightly together. :groupray: :)
300 fans cleaned all the snow off of the seats at the stadium. I'm holding a shovel in their honor. ^_^

[mrshoperose]

They are gerbils, read up on them, everything I read says its better to have 2 or more because they don't like to be alone, also its alright to have 2 males together, says the females are more aggressive. These 2 from what the lady said have been together all the time. They haven't fought yet.

I'm sorry. :sorry: I didn't see/notice the tails...:doh:

[ctay]

That's ok. My son called this morning and asked if the kids could spend they night, they are going out for their anniversary and I told my oldest granddaughter about them, she got all excited. They hadn't got here yet but I bet she's been bugging them all day on when they are coming.


Sure is cold here too, supposed to get down in the teens tonight.

[DaRev]

Sounds like a good time to be in Florida. It's supposed to be cool tomorrow... only about 60.

:P

[Studeclunker]

Sounds really nice down there, Rev. It got up to a sizzling 51 here today. Funny though, when the sun went behind the hill the temp immediately dropped ten degrees. By the time George and I got home there was ice forming on the roads and the car's R/V mirror. At least we're not as cold as Minnesota and Wisconsin though. Saw the weather report... Brrrr!

Well, looks like the job didn't pan out like I'd hoped. The customer told me today that he'd have to cut me back to two days a week. That's a loss of three hundred dollars a week. Well, I'll just have to go out and get another customer, right?

Calling all prayer warriors...:groupray:

What I didn't want to queer by talking about it was this job. Looks like my superstitions, as silly as they are, may have worked against me again. When will I learn.:scratch: George is really disapointed and more than a little depressed. I'm wondering how the Lord is working this. Everything seemed to be working out and then... thud! We have enough to pay our friend back the money she loaned us and won't be able to pay the house payment we had thought we could. See, George is on the verge of forclosure. Like, one payment away. We borrowed the money to stave off forclosure and promised another payment on Wed. of this comming week, thinking that the work would provide it. The money is there, but we have to pay the money back to our other friend before the 6th. So, I'm wondering what we're going to do at this point. George is working part time for CalTrans as a flagger, but only works when it snows. It hasn't snowed for two weeks. Therefore no work for George.

Sigh, at this point... I think we'll hold onto the money and pray for a few days. Maybe something will out.:prayer:

[LilLamb219]

Stude! Definitely praying for you!!

[Jim47]

Stude, I do pray that The Lord will rescue you. You have been very patient through all this. May The Lord reward your patience and faith.

[porterross]

Poor Stude.:( I'll be prayinng for God's plan to include some relief for you soon.

[seajoy]

Prayers for Stude and friend George. :prayer:

Something happened this weekend that has gotten me depressed. Please pray for me and the situation. Thanks so much, my Christian friends.

[LilLamb219]

Prayers for you Ang!

[RadMan]

Stude you're experiences in CA since you have been on this board have been disastrous. I pray you find relief soon. Maybe a change of scenery?

[BreadAlone]

Sooo..who's watching the Packer game!?

The suspense is overwhelming..20-20 1st and 10 Giants..6 min left in the game. I'm not a real football person..but I'm really hoping the Packers make it to the Superbowl..

[BreadAlone]

AAH! 1:59! The Packers are stincking it up out there..

[BreadAlone]

YEEESSSS!! Four seconds, Giants have a field goal attempt..and they MISS!! HAHA..Come on Packers in overtime!!

[BreadAlone]

HEADS!! Yes! One little point and we're to the superbowl!!

[BreadAlone]

..

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Why!? :(

I guess third time's the charm for the giant's field goal attempts.. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[DaRev]

Frankly, I think the Giants have the better shot at beating New England than the Packers anyway.

Go Giants!!

(Did I just say that??? :eek:)

[seajoy]

Frankly, I think the Giants have the better shot at beating New England than the Packers anyway.

ouch, that hurt. :(

[DaRev]

Sorry. :sorry: Just bein' realistic.

[seajoy]

Sorry. :sorry: Just bein' realistic.
I hope the Giants do win. I'm real sick of the Patriots. :sick:

We never expected the Packers to go as far as they did. It was a treat that they were 13-3 in the regular season. How are the Bills feeling? :)

[dinkime]

i want the patrioys to win! my dad is a new englander, it is in my blood!!!!!

I thought it was only sacrilege if the pigskin was not blessed before the game. LOL

[mrshoperose]

I'm with ctay on this.....football is horrible!

[Zecryphon]

I'm with ctay on this.....football is horrible!
Is it horrible because it's boring, barbaric, or some other reason? I think enjoyment of a televised sport is enhanced by whether or not the person watching it has participated in the sport in the past. Like take me for example. I could watch bowling tournaments all day long. Most people abhor televised bowling. LOL

[ctay]

They stand around doing nothing most of the time, A game that should last an hour, lasts 3 hrs. Then when they do something all it ends up being is a bunch of bodies laying on the ground.

[Zecryphon]

They stand around doing nothing most of the time, A game that should last an hour, lasts 3 hrs. Then when they do something all it ends up being is a bunch of bodies laying on the ground.
Yep. That's why I don't like it either. Then again I like Nascar which is a bunch of guys turning left for 3 hours. LOL But then there is that one race a year that is on a road course and they actually have to know how to turn right. LOL

[seajoy]

They stand around doing nothing most of the time, A game that should last an hour, lasts 3 hrs. Then when they do something all it ends up being is a bunch of bodies laying on the ground.
ctay and several others.....football is a wonderful sport of teamwork and stratagy. I've loved it since I was about 8yrs old. It's like a story infolding every week.

My daughter is much like you....she tried to watch a game with our family once. At the 2 minute warning at the end of the game she said "now what's that all about?!" Like, how dare they have a warning right when the game was going on! ^_^ :doh:

Anyway, I love it. I took my son to a game when he was in about 6th grade. It was a day we will never forget. A great mom/son day. :)

[ctay]

Basketball is more exciting to watch.

[filosofer]

For speed and excitement, there is nothing like hockey, but you have to see it live - TV just doesn't hack it.

Unfortunately, my feet can't take the cold; yeah, I know they now play indoors, but still.... brrrrr

[Jim47]

Have you ever tried to eat a football?

Even with my big mouth that would be a challange ^_^

Venision tastes much better :yum: :yum: :yum:

[ctay]

I like soccer too

[DaRev]

We're Americans!! We hate soccer!!!

And I can't stand hockey, either. You sit and watch a game for nearly 2 hours and end up with a score of 1-0.
BO-RING!!!

[seajoy]

Man Rev....we really agree on sports. I hate soccer, and don't really care for hockey either!

I love baseball and football. Oh, and basketball live and in person. On tv I don't care for it too much.

[seajoy]

Anybody have an idea on how to heal a burn? I burned my hand in the oven while taking out a pizza the other night, now my hand is pretty red and gross looking.

I've used some anti-biotic ointment and a large bandage for now. I do think it's infected. :sick:

[mrshoperose]

Basketball is more exciting to watch.
I would rather watch baseball. (I know a lot more about it, and it is more interesting for me.)

[ctay]

I like baseball too

Seajoy you should go to the dr., if you think its infected, the doc could give you some antibiotics.

[ctay]

Soccer is all action as with hockey and basketball, football is sooooo boring

[Zecryphon]

The real action in soccer happens after one of the teams loses and the fans rush the field and take to the streets.

Is this kinda like the thing Willy Wonka does to Mike Teevee and the chocolate bar???:scratch: If so, better get a really big tube, Rad.

[seajoy]

I found some sun burn spray gel with aloe and lidocaine under my sink. Hadn't seen that since summer.

Anyway, it's cut the pain some but the burn still looks nasty.

My oldest son played soccer since he was 5 or 6 yrs old played all the way through school and even joined a mens league and played until last summer when he got kicked in the shin real good, either it broke his leg or popped it out of joint or something like that and tore a ligament bad enough he had to have surgery and they put a dead person's ligament in it.

It's not infected. Just inflamed.

My answer may also inflame a few members, but this truly does bring relief and healing.

I learned about this from an old blacksmith that I worked with when I was in high school.

Urinate on it. :sick:

I learned later that there is science behind this. The composition of urine is sterile, and gives it antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Uric acid, phosphates, other salts, and even some hormones.

:preach:I'm not telling you to try it, but I know first hand (no pun intended) that it does work. Almost instant relief.

Ummmm....well, I did ask for ideas as to how to heal a burn. ^_^ :swoon:

[WildStrawberry]

Heh, urine is sterile, that's a fact. And I've heard the same thing.

Not sure I'd recommend it...but I have heard it.

Seajoy, now that the burn has stopped burning, you can use a little ice to bring down any swelling. Take an aspirin (or tylenol if you're cursed like me and can't take any NSADS) and keep the hand elevated. (that helps with the pain) If there are any blisters, DO NOT pop them. Let them be because the liquid inside helps with the burn. If they pop on their own, put nesporin on them and call your doctor.

When I worked in the ER, we'd use a bit of Dreft laundry soap to soak burns in to help them stop burning. It's a very very gentle soap. Dreft, cool water and then a bit of ice in the water once the burn had stopped. (burns keep burning even when you pull away from the heat.)

I sure hope it feels better soon!

Thanks Kae!

I think Rad's idea of aloe is working. Not so much redness today. I think I'll leave Mark's idea alone for this round. :)

Funny thing, I worked in an ER for 7yrs and couldn't for the life of me, remember the tricks for healing a burn. (no, I wasn't a nurse....I was a receptionist/gopher :pink: )

Anyway, thanks everyone for the ideas.....even the whacky sounding ones! :tutu:

She's a Lutheran. She is forbidden to elevate her hands in any way. :P ^_^ ;)

Moses must have been Lutheran. Didn't his brother Aaron help hold up his arms? :)

I must agree with you there! :D Especially since it's my left hand.....and being left handed...whoa, what a bummer that would be.

[Studeclunker]

Plausable deniability??? That reminds me of the movie Independence day. The aliens really are at area 51 (LOL)!! :D :D Or at notweird.com...;) But that's another joke.:scratch:

You sell yourself short. I say you should challenge yourself and your acting abilities and play the role of one crazy lady with multiple personalities. hehehehe Like John Lithgow did in Raising Cain. Of course he wasn't a lady, except when Margot came out to play. LOL

Nope! I've the kettle singing, the pot's warmed and some Constant Comment in it. There are a selection of biscuits on the tray, Snickerdoodles, Thumb-prints, and some Rangers from George's sister. Anyone for a wee cuppa? I'll be mother!:D

[synger]

*whispers* the key is hidden in the thermometer in the back yard...



http://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/images/safes/TS.jpg

[synger]

Oh, yes! I LOVE Constant Comment. It was the special tea my mom got out for company. We called it "stinky tea" because it's such a lovely orange-spice scent.

Each year on Mother's Day I get out her Belleek teapot and make a pot of Constant Comment, and remember her. And cry.

Well.. maybe some Lady Grey instead, I think. I don't want to get weepy over a cup of tea...

[Jim47]

Its Zepiniah (probably spelled wrong :scratch: ) and she took it with her.

[LilLamb219]

Well, it seems as if we'll have to sweep up our own crumbs then instead of relying on the dog for clean up ;)

[ctay]

We'll just try to not be real messy

[Jim47]

My Puppy loves crumbs, all 100 pounds of him. He is a 2 year old black Lab :yum:

[LilLamb219]

My dog will eat anything except for lettuce. She spits it out ;)

[KimLCMS]

My dog will eat almost anything. She's a sheltie.

[Studeclunker]

Nah, don't worry about the crumbs. Nana'll clean em up.:D She loves cookie crumbs, Spagetti sauce, and popcorn, not necessarily in that order.

Revrand, have any of you easterners heard of tire cables? Those and keeping your speed down makes ice a cake walk. Have I used them in the east? How does Chicago sound? My relatives thought I was nutz, but at least they were the ones sliding around and not me.;)

Many folks around here either have tire chains or studded tires. I have neither, but I do have fairly decent treads. I don't worry about myself. It's the other nucases on the road that scare me. :P

[BreadAlone]

Nah, don't worry about the crumbs. Nana'll clean em up.:D She loves cookie crumbs, Spagetti sauce, and popcorn, not necessarily in that order.

Had to wade in about two feet of snow to get to the kitchen door today. Here's a look:

That stinks..

[porterross]

Even some of us Texans have snow chains. ;)

[DaRev]

Yeah, but y'all don't know what real snow is. :P

[porterross]

Meh, we know enough not to live in that AND an overpopulated concrete jungle.

[DaRev]

No concrete jungle here.

[ctay]

Yes I do know what real snow is..............

[Studeclunker]

That stinks..

LOL!:D Actually, I rather enjoyed it. There's the advantage for you of being self-employed. No boss to say, "I don't care if there's TEN feet of snow! Get your a-- to work!:mad: " Of course today I have to dig Bess out and get down to Pine Cove and see if I can get some work done. Perhaps I can get the tractor started and scrape some of the snow out of the way. Hopefully, I'll have enough gas.

And no, I don't like living in a concrete jungle either. That's why I moved back up here. I hated So. Cal.

Oh yes, I almost forgot to pour out.:doh: I've some Oolong in the pot and there's still plenty of hot water in the kettle for those who want cocoa.:)

Things on tires like cables/chains can be illegal in some areas...hate to tell you.

[KimLCMS]

I like the snow. It covers up the mud.

I only need mine in the mounains, so it's all good.

Ugh! When it melts, the muddy mess is a real challenge on one side of our drive to the cabin, so I go up the other side and slide down the muddy one to get out. :D

[BreadAlone]

I hate when the snow melts almost all the way, but then stops when there's only black oil-ridden snow/ice left. The story of springs in the city..

[dinkime]

we have pretty snow here -- and it was SO BRIGHT today, even when the sun wasn't out, because of the pure white snow

[ctay]

My granddaughter is wanting me to take her to this ski place about an hour or so away, they make fake snow for the slopes and she wants to see it

Yeah, that's the advantage of being in the no. Cal. mountains too:

By the by, that shapeless lump beside the garage and behind the house is a '78 Jaguar.

[DaRev]

That's Jaguar abuse!! :P

I found a place that's like myspace but its christian

http://christianspaceonline.com/

[LilLamb219]

Did you join it, ctay?

Not too long ago I had belonged to a community like MySpace, but Catholics were believed to not be Christian according to the owner and everyone bashed them. Besides that, since Lutheran beliefs can be so close to the RC beliefs, some of the things I would write in the "Groups" would disappear. Censorship abounds on private communities, so beware!

Happy Sunday Everyone!
