      Welcome back, I really do enjoy your comments and insights. Don't be a stranger.

      Also 60 aint that old I'll be there shortly

      I may be small, but I'm slow.

      A veteran - whether active duty, retired, or national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to, "The United States of America ", for an amount of "up to and including my life - it's an honor."

Happily, I have an awesome home teacher. I've been writing like crazy and will have four books published this year, three in hardcover.

        Today something wonderful happened that reminded me of this forum. I haven't been able to find my THE SCRIPTURES cd-rom. Some months ago I got rid of a virus by switching to Windows 7 and I lost a lot of stuff. So I've been wanting to put my Scriptures into my laptop but had no idea where the disc was. I just found it in the junk room among some music cds -- there it was between Lady Gaga and Patty Loveless. Yeehaw!

        I just turned 60 and I cannot bloody believe it. Happily, I have yet to grow up...
        Just the other day I was wondering where you were. Glad to know that you're alive and well. Hope to see you post more often.

          We had someone in a similar situation in our ward and we had volunteers go watch the parent for a few hours so that the daughter could leave to get things done. Could that work for you?

            Mom gets uncomfortable when strangers stay with her and I'm away. I can still do the things that nourish faith, prayer and study. I'm just not advancing as an active believer, still don't hold the priesthood or am able to do temple work. Man, how I MISS 5th Ward! That still feels like "my" Ward. Katrina just friended me on Facebook and shocked me with the news of she and Brian separating and remarrying. But however much I miss 5th Ward, I love attending Skyway Ward. That's the meeting house that pa and I helped to build in the 1960's, and it has a special feel to it -- like coming home.

              Bully Style Guide, Robin Finderson 2011

              An 'ass whooping' and a 'licking' can both refer to the punishment a bully applies to a target. The bully may use either term to harass and/or intimidate a victim; the bully should take precaution, however, to avoid the term combination 'ass licking,' which means something else entirely.

              Correct:
              Hey Dong Sniffer! Let's see if you are Timex. I'll give you a licking and we'll see if you keep ticking.

              Correct:
              Hey Smurf Tits! Get your wussy friend to call a doctor, because you are about to get a serious ass whooping!

              Incorrect:
              Hey Shit Balls! You are about to get the ass licking of your life!

                Overheard in the stands at a track meet last week (both teenagers from rural Utah):

                Girl: "When Bob Marley died they discovered 300 species of new insects in his hair."
                Boy: "Ummm.. Wow. Uh... I am not sure I believe that."
                Girl: "No, I swear it is true. They really did."
                Boy: "300? And they were all new species?"
                Girl: "Yeah."

                I would have given anything to have heard that conversation within earshot of wuap.

                  Stupid Utah kids. The human scalp can only support 1, maybe 2 species. Add a couple more in the hair canopy and you're looking at 4-5 max.

                    Yeah, the urban lice legends about Robert Nesta are legion. Like a coroner is going to spend time looking for lice in a cancer patient's hair.

                      Of course he wouldn't. That's an entymologist's job.

                            That is funny.

                            I can't believe the secret service didn't consider the break-over angle of the president's limousine on that route. I'll bet they went over it at least a dozen times.

                            Someone got their ass in trouble on that one. The vehicle is a sitting duck when stuck like that.

                              Always good to have a spare IP address to a reliable DNS server in your back pocket. My internet is functional again, even if Comcast's DNS is still down.

                              cheers.
                              So apparently Comcast has zero redundancy for their DNS servers... boneheads.
