We had a guy in our Ward who was almost 7 feet tall and his wife was barely 5 feet tall. One day they were asked to speak and when it was his turn he walked up to the podium and passed out. His wife walked to the microphone and proudly told the Ward that they have hard time with intercourse and were told that they should drink a cup of vegitable oil every morning to help with the lubrication in

Our family resigned in 2004 and moved to a completely new state and city in 2007. We still get visits from the missionaries from time to time asking for "thedrive" family. Seriously, we do. The last one was last summer. The doorbell rang and when I opened the door the missionary asked if I was Brother thedrive. I told him that we had resigned years ago and he said that they were ju

I was in the same situatuon as you.

I'm digitizing family pictures today and am comparing how our family has changed over the years. Of course the kids are taller, my wife and I look old, but for some reason our countenance is still light.

I feel that if an organization is to remain tax exempt it must do two things: 1) Give 50.1% or more of it's income to true charity or use that income to provide charity to individuals. Soup kitchens, clothing distribution, financial assistance, etc. Tuition assistance to BYU doesn't qualify. Nor does commercial construction on behalf of the organization. It has to be true charity. 2) Prov
