If God didn't bless you with the organizational skills to make sure that your pantry is full, whose fault is that? Clearly an example of a mired ox.

The ox is in the mire everytime I go home teaching. I am the most faithful home teacher in the church. My companion and I always like to get something to eat."Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point. It has become apparent that a man can, within limits, follow his inclinations within the arms of the Church if he does so discreetly." - The Walking Drum

Being your local board member, I should volunteer my help for any of these future ox-in-the-mire situations. We always have plenty of milk on hand, but never enough Oreos.Originally posted by Clark Addison View PostLike many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we try to not make purchases on Sunday. Outside of when we are out of town, it is very rare for us to make any sort of visit to a retail establishment on the Sabbath.
We currently are in possession of 1.5 packages (leftover from yesterday's game) of Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (Double Stuf). I just opened our last gallon of milk, purchased yesterday, to find the seal broken and the milk "funky". The Ox is clearly in it up to his friggin' belly, and I am off to CVS.I have nothing else to say at this time.

My wife's sister won't eat food that was purchased on the Sabbath -- as in, Saturday night after 12:00 am. Yes, this happened: my MIL didn't didn't get to the checkout register until after midnight on a Saturday, and my wife's sister did not eat the meal prepared with the food for Sunday dinner. CRAZY.
My wife is much better than I am; our only OXIM situation is traveling. If we're at home, we make do with what we have in the fridge.

The sister of a girl I dated at BYU was the craziest of all. She refused to buy from a BYU vending machine on Sunday, and castigated me for doing so. I asked her who she was encouraging/making work on Sunday, and she replied that it was the "principle of the thing".

I respect people who don't shop on Sunday. I really ought to stop. A little planning on my part would be all that is necessary. I don't do it every Sunday, but I don't go out of my way not to. Certainly some people take it too far, but there is a good principle there.
