Me, my wife, and 3 kids are out.

Me: BIC, RM, married in temple
Wife: BIC, RM, " "

Location: Prominent morg-ville neighborhood/ward.

We will all resign. Wife is not ready yet due to family reasons.

I owe this board my exit story. I need to write my exit story.

We've been getting love bombed galore. Times this by 3 because of the holidays.

The sunday school president keeps calling every Sunday. We never answer, he leaves a message each time. It's creepy and vague. He lives a few houses away and has never been this "friendly".

Yesterday I cruise on into the liquor store for some reds and whites.

sunday school president is standing there in the checkout line with a large vodka bottle clutched in his arm.

I went right up to him and said, "Hi there! How ya doin'? Great to see ya!"

I've never visibly seen the blood drain out of someone's face in a few seconds - until this encounter.

Hope this brings some fun and grins during all these church essays and serious goings-on!

OMG!!!!! what a weird and SUPRISING occurrence. He can rest assured that you aren't going to run off and tattle tell on him. What a feel good moment!

Now, don't be a judgin' the good Mo, he was buying it for his wife to cook with.

hahahahahaah

Sounds like he was picking up vodka so his wife can make homemade vanilla extract. That's the only reason I've ever seen any TBMs have any use for it.

Yeah, my sister does that all the time. People really like it.

Or for extracting any essential oil from a plant... Vodka would work, but high-proof neutral grain spirits is better. Everclear, for instance. it's available in either 151-proof (75.5% ABV) or 190-proof (95% ABV.) It's usually around $15 for 750 ml, the same as higher shelf vodka.

My guess, however, is that he might be a TBM closet drinker. Believe me, that's a thing.

I have also been at a couple of those stores. All kinds of people walk in. If i see anyone walking in i am not going automatically think that they will drink whatever they get there. It can be a present.

I forgot to mention what I said to my wife:

'I don't think we'll be getting anymore Sunday calls from him'!

He may be calling you to come have a drink with him.

The pressure would be off if Utah would wake the eff up and let private owners open their own liquor stores. I was going to say that Utah enjoys living in the 1800's, but even back then, they had better access to liquor than they do now. I'm glad you busted him.

A Mo told me that everyone in Logan goes to Idaho to buy alcohol.

I'm guessing this was his expression...

LOL !

Believe it or not I make my own antibacterial "tinctures" with thyme and vodka. You can also make botanical perfumes with vodka as the base instead of Everclear.

He'd probably have the same LDS "deer in headlights" look if you had run into him at the supermarket with a box of tampons in his hands (buying for his wife).

Everyone in Logan used to buy potter tickets across the state line at the La Tienda store.

I would have questioned the dude about the vodka, with such things as does he like that brand better than Skye or Absolut.

Mention you were in there to 'pick up a few things' and the kids were planning some type of 'pong' party.

The littlest things can be so fun.

I am glad to live in Las Vegas were you can buy some cheap scotch at smith for $10. I remember drinking all night and watching tv, then suddenly I woke up laying on my floor. That was last night.

I just go to Liquor Mart. It is great and is the size of K-Mart. They are having lots of good Holiday sales now.

Lee's Liquor is good too. They are all over southern Nevada. In Boulder City, we have Milo's which is inexpensive too.

Maybe his vague messages were an attempt to invite you over for drinks.And he wants you to bring the orange juice to make screwdrivers.

Could be he was buying the high alcohol content stuff because he practices 'wet plate' photography.

Tho I and most I know use Everclear for it.

AWESOME!

Sorry about the love-bombing, though.

Maybe "smo" could reverse love bomb with mini bottles of vodka tied with a bow.

Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Messiah.

Anglicans do not recognize the Pope.

Mormons do not recognize each other in the liquor store.

I got the same look from a ward member I bumped into in Costco last Sunday. Like I care if he's shopping with his two little boys on Sunday. I'm there too, right?

Mormons can be so weird. Funny how nowadays it amps up my level of respect for them if I see them at the grocery store on Sunday or if they offer to share their recipe for rum sauce to barbeque pineapple. It shows their garments aren't on too tight.

That's awesome!

Is your Sunday school president Spencer Hadley by any chance? (If you don't get it, Google Spencer Hadley in Las Vegas.)

That was hilarious. :)

You guys are going soft here! A TBM was buying alcohol. I don't care if his wife was cooking with it or making vanilla extract, or soaking her feet in it! He was NOT avoiding the appearance of evil. Shame on him. ;) I used to think of all kinds of excuses when I was still mormon and buying alcohol too. I especially like the one where I was going to make Vanilla extract. My alcohol of choice was vodka because there are so many uses for it!! haha

Did he at least give you an excuse? A good mormon would have had a lame excuse!!

Naw....a REALLY good Mormon would have condemned original poster for being in a liquor store.

Must've been off his game

Maybe I'll move to Utah and open up a biz:


'Are you a Bish? A SP? No Prob!'
"State Liquor Store To Your Home Delivery"

Fantastic business plan, breedum. Ha! Started my day off with a good laugh.

I'm sure it was non-alcoholic vodka.
