    I agree with BBB.

    That is the same reason why I don't attend "Priesthood Commemoration" the artist formerly knows as "Father and Sons Campout".

    I have no sons.

    Bye week.

      I'm curious because our ward goes bonkers for it. I usually didn't care but now that I got put in the EQ presidency I have to help plan for it. The entire 3rd hour is a luncheon for the women. The men take over all the classes for the women and they get a lunch prepared by a chef and restaurant owner in our ward complete with linens, centerpieces, flowers, etc. It's absolutely ridiculous. Most of our freaking meager budget goes to this thing every year. I am in charge of the linens and center pieces. Hopefully the restaurant owner is able to do the food again because if not then we're screwed. I wish I knew who started this tradition in our ward because each year since has to be bigger and better and it's out of hand. I want to go to Home Depot and buy a flat of flowers to hand out but there would be gnashing of teeth if this happened.

      Maybe I am also just bitter because we jonly get a cookie on Father's Day. I'd rather give you girls the priesthood than have to put on this show.
      That is bizarre.

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

          Oui, un tout petit peu.

            All women over 18 get a candy bar. On Father's Day the men get the same.

            I like the Sacrament only idea. That's my kind of bishop.
            What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.
