  The most condescending thing said to you by the (sm)elders.

  i wasnt the most academic of children although i had some capability but i could read quite well by the time i was 4 years old at least for my age; i have always read as a child and still read now as an adult both professionally (research) and for pleasure.

  i have always been able to write too...and pretty much advanced as well as my peers did in school...perhaps i am lucky, i certainly feel like i am when illiteracy amongst adults and children is rife at present...however.. i remember when i was 16 the wts in the uk were pushing through a scheme teaching those who were not as able to read and write...and an elder in the hall made a point of coming to me and suggesting that i should actually attend the training!!

  !....i explained that i could read and write well enough and didnt need to be taught basic literacy... he said that i might learn something new and should respect jehovahs order of things and show appreciation...i did decline his kind offer rather abruptly....but wtf??

  Thank goodness I never had to deal with that kind of loving crap. I did have an elder who was a pharmacist approach me after a Thurs. night book study asking me how I was feeling. I told him I was feeling fine. He then replied he was very concerned about me, because of the medicine I was taking. He asked why I was taking it, and I did tell him it was for migraines. He said it was some pretty powerful stuff, and questioned why my doctor would prescribe it.

  I never took my scripts to his store, but being part of a national chain, he must have felt that his shepherding included med checks and second guessing of physicians.

  Mothers Spit and Bandaids

  just had a kid come in needing a bandaid, just made me think of a friends comments the other day.

  she reckons that all we need in the world is mothers spit and bandaids.

  mothers spit cleans absolutely anything, and bandaids fix any ailment that a child can come up with.

  What gets me is if spit and a band-aid won't fix it, a Mom probably has something in her purse that will.

  (thinking of my mom's purse, and how Mary Poppins' carpet bag had nothing on hers!)

  Urgently Required: A Royal Mistress..

  by Englishman in

  it just occurs to me that with the wedding of charles & camilla there appears to be no royal mistress waiting behind the scenes.. just imagine..for the first time in centuries, the prince of wales hasn't got a mistress waiting to soothe his fevered brow.

  i mean..who ever heard of anyone actually marrying their mistress..good grief.. so c'mon, gals, anyone interested in applying for the job?

  ok, we know charlie boy is something of a tree-hugger and has an earnest desire to become a tampon.

  Out of curiosity, what would be the prerequisites to qualify for Royal Mistress?

  The ability to tell the difference between a corgi and a royal.

  her name is debbie horton.

  (she and her husband have a show in branson, missouri.).

  if you'd like to hear her and impersonator johnny counterfit do a few of cash's songs live, when the real player comes up slide the "clip positon" over to 26:25 (= 26 minutes and 25 seconds) : midnite jamboree 3/12/05 - larry sparks.

  Thanks for the hook up, Schizm. I really enjoyed that. I had no idea The Man had a woman play with him, much less play lead picker. Going to go listen to the rest.

  Qcmbr, thanks for the explanation, and the visual. I had always heard about such, and always wondered, I have never known a Latterday Saint, so never had an opportunity to ask. Just a few more questions, if you feel like answering. At what age, and what are the requirements for receiving these garments, and how are things like swimming, physical education etc. delt with in reference to wearing them?

  This site is 100% legal, with the permission of the copywrite holders. Most of the music is 'hippy' stuff, but it's all good. Bluegrass, zydeco, and good old school jam. They even offer free software to play or burn the .shn file format that it comes packed in.

  Rev, does that mean my OLUs are in? Is it a style, texture, fabric thing? Or an invisible spiritual thing, like the new personality? If not, can they be removed for laundering?

  I mean no disrespect, just a curious gentile.

  Can I ask a stoopid question? What is the deal with the 'holy underwear?' I have been told that it is secret, not for discussion outside the temple.
