What did I have to confess? I had been trained to be a good chaste, even pure thinking LDS girl. I WAS!!!! Then after I married I was too busy popping out babies to do anything sinful, that was my husband's domain, which hurt me deeply and I went with him when he confessed, but once again, what could I say??? All that chasteness and clean thinking did not do me one blame bit of good. I sti

Ummm,not sure. My beef and lamb roasts (lamb roasts are an Australian icon) are pretty popular. If a good cout of roast I cook it without covering in a slow oven and add onions for the last hour which I use to flavour the gravy. If I have a cheaper cut of roast, one sure way to tenderize it and give it lots of flavour is to cheat a bit. I place two pieces of alfoil in a cross on the baking

I slept. I am no longer young, wanting to keep up a 20 hour work week, and also have my best friend VERY ill with cancer. LOTS of good times but also a lot of distress. I am doing fine, but the extra rest was WELCOME!!!!! I must admit when I was attending tscc, I did enjoy it, but am left more than cold today when/if I go, usually about once every 2 years. ENUF already of the JS bul%$#@!!!

YUP!!!!! I REFUSED to marry until I had the 'burning in the bosom'. Got that (still can't explain it!), but oh boy did I marry an abusive man or not???? I stayed because I thought it was a 'holy ghost' inspired marriage, but my children and I really suffered as a result. Not impressed, beleive me neither was I!!!!

Once when I was a TBM, a friend phoned my then-active husband and said there was an evil presense in their house. My husband (who was their HT) brought her and the baby to my home for the day, and her husband, the Bishop and my husband went to the home (in full suits etc this being a priesthood event) and told the 'thing' to depart using their M priesthood. Nothing happened, no big noises or ru

I was a TOTAL dyed in the wool, pain in the a#@$ rule follower. I bought the whole thing, hook line and sinker, for many many years. I must have been a TOTAL pain to be with, although most people say I wasn't. I guess I kept my judgements to myself. All I know is I judged myself badly enough. THEN I married HRH God-himself who expected only perfection from the person he deigned to honour

I have always found that puzzling. I was SO impressed when it was given to me as a blessing, as a bride in the temple. BUT I got sick like everyone else, I lost a child, have had cancer, etc etc etc, and it seems to me that with the exception of some of the illnesses associated with smoking and heavy drinking, tscc has as many sick people in it as any other group. We all still die right???

Hello Aussieblokesarebest (love your name!!!) Thanks for that. I couldn't find that meaning anywhere, but it makes sense doesn't it? I love some of the place names and they often are about animals or land use. Love Korumburra silvergenie!! Perhaps the only better one than that is Coonabarabran which means 'place of shit' after the designated area of any Aboriginal living site, used as a l

Hello anybody. Wagga Wagga is a town in NSW, now famous for it being a military training base. How Wagga Wagga came by its name, I do not know. The original word Wagga means a blanket or quilt. Quilts were always called Waggas when I was a child (I am in my mid sixties). Mothers made them by stitching together old pieces of clothing and then stuffing them with cut up old clothing as the

I was 23, had had 3 pregnancies in 2 and half years. The last one I had had heavy post partum bleeding. The doctor said "If you get pregnant again within a year, I cannot be responsible for your health or your life". So with 3 little ones to care for I went on the Pill. I was exhausted and needed a break once in a while. The BPs wife offered take care of the babies so my husb

My sympathies go out to the poor employee who is obviously doing a good job. As a 'chubby' myself I send her all my positive thoughts. Poor girl! But the other thing that strikes me is the writer's need to have a perfect world to live in, with NO ONE to set a (so-called) bad example for her kids. What the ......????

Since doing some (and only some) ancient history, I too had come up with Bezoar's explanation - wine was better for you in biblical times, than water, as water was very polluted and could make you sick. The ancient peoples had not worked out things like the best forms of sanitation that could be used in cities (although some areas were quite good). Before the advent of cites and towns, the hun

Good for her!! This reminds me of maybe abut 15 years ago. I was going through an online catalogue for flags, looking for a nice one to put up for the Australia Day festivities. I saw a lovely multi-coloured Aussie flag, and thought how nice it was. I had my finger on the button to buy one when the significance of it hit me. It was a gay pride Aussie flag.

How will young people ever understand was racism is if they are not exposed to (now) very outdated and obviously hatred filled ideas? The history of the development of racism and other forms of prejudice is very important to understand if there is ever to be a non judgemental society. I agree this sounds VERY totalitarian.
