RS dinners for boob jobs

[DU Ute]

My wife showed me this. Some of the responses make it sound like this is a common thing in some places. I suggested that maybe the EQ in these wards should be doing meals, as they are the beneficiaries of this sort of thing. My wife didn't find this as funny as I'd hoped.

Now I am not against boob jobs I will probably need some sort of lift after all the BF I have done,

My first thought was why would BF cause saggy boobs but then I figured out she meant breast feeding.

I have never understood the Mormon custom of bringing each other dinner. If we want food for no effort, we just go for take-out.

I also don't understand using the EQ as a moving truck loading/unloading service. We just hire it done. It's not that expensive, and it's much less grief for everyone. Replacing the EQ moving service with a "ward relocation fund" would be much more practical. I would gladly donate 20 bucks to this sort of thing. I dare say this would be much more popular and revolutionary than even the perpetual education fund.

I think it's really nice. It's not a Mormon/non-Mormon custom out here - lots of people take dinner to families with a newborn. My wife did it for one of my profs.

Maybe I don't like it because I'm a picky eater and usually don't like what other people cook. I'm also paranoid about sanitation. If I don't know how the food was prepared, I generally won't touch it, unless it's fast food. Then I don't care. I realize this makes zero sense.

My dad runs a health department in Utah, and I think it's his fault that I'm paranoid. We always got to hear about every infectious disease outbreak and the guilty restaurants, etc. One of my earliest memories is of my dad getting angry with a BYU student at the CougarEat for preparing my dad's tostada without gloves on. My dad handed the tostada back to him, saying: "Now make me a different one, but put gloves on first."

Everyone I've ever known with a PhD and an MD is absolutely bonkers about sanitation.



And doesn't recent research show that gloves in a food-service establishment are just as dirty has bare hands?

This is a good point - I wonder how many of these thoughtful dinners go in the trash because of the amount of cat hair in the lasagna.

I agree with both points. I think taking over dinner is a leftover practice from when there were no convenient fast food restaurants nearby (over 40 years ago).

I also think that visiting teaching is a leftover practice from the ancient days of when there were no phones, email, facebook, or videocam links.

I had a home teachee that had a baby and I asked them if I could bring them dinner. They were a little hestiant so I made it known that my real intention was to buy dinner from a restaurant. They obliged and I ended up bringing KFC (they went cheap) that night.

In addition, think of the jobs that are lost when Mormons step in and help each other in these and other ways. Maybe this fund could be more generalized so it be used to pay unemployed and/or underemployed members to "proxy serve" in the many different service tasks that the EQP and RSP assign members to do. Blessing would be preserved and new ones would be created.

I am not a picky eater, but I am paranoid about germs and sanitation. If I don't know somebody and have not seen how they keep their kitchen, I cannot eat food they prepared for me.

I got upset at a fast food place in Utah once. I was getting ready to order my food and noticed that the teens in the back working did not have hair nets or pulled back hair, and the girl had very long hair. They were slapping each others derrieres without gloves on too, while preparing food. I shouted back there, "Excuse me. I need you to go put on a hair net or pull your hair back, wash your hands, put on gloves and refrain from slapping each others butts before you prepare my food."

As Christians, service rendered to the poor & needy hits the bullseye, but the EQ as a moving service has gotten waaaaay out of hand.

[Brian]

this drives me crazy. my wife has been sick/in the hospital a fair bit lately and it's like pulling teeth to convince people we don't need their crappy food.

However, I could dig it if Sister Swenson would bring over an unopened box of Cheerios and an unopened jug of milk.

AGreed. Moreover, it is an opportunity for people to serve.

I'd be more understanding if you were at a fine restaurant like an Applebees or something. But, the instant you step foot in a fast-food restaurant, you're pretty much playing russian roulette with your health anyway.
