    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.

        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.
        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.
        I have nothing else to say at this time.

          I'll stop shopping on Sunday when they stop opening the store on Sunday.

                FYI: Shoplifting on Sunday is worse than shopping on Sunday.

                    This is my policy, as well.

                    The only exception is if I need to shop on Sunday, of course.

                        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 have had more than one person tell me they don't shop online on Sunday.

                              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.
