Dated a boy to go ice-skating, so I rushed to a local discount store to buy me some new shoes. Unhappily, all they had were a size too big for me. No problem, all I had to do was stuff the inside of the heals with klennex tissue. When we got to our site, I asked for a size 6 skating shoe. He looked down at my gunbolt shoes, and repeatedly asked me if the size I had ordered were too small!

I didn't give them ANY information, it was given them by someone else (who, as it appears, gave them my name as a "safe" person to talk with).

My husband's father was a very smart and kind man, whom his wife often remarked in front of us was: "Oh Sherwood, no one cares about you opinion". Sherwood was a very smart man, and an atheist. After he died, he came to me in a vision. He lived on the top of a hill, and his wife was at the bottom of the hill, in effect, begging him to call her up to live with him--something he refu

Two females missionaries visited me yesterday. They asked me if they could do anything for me. (I guess they feel they have to do SOMETHING as missionaries.) I gave both of them 2 oranges (from the tree in my backyard), and sent them on their way.

Hum---that seems clear enough. People living in Salt Lake area, as it appears, can't help themselves from offering their stated opinions.

In my opinion, the Mormon's aren't the only ones loosing memberships. People just don't seem to feel the need of doing so anymore.

Elder Berry: Oh come now--things were not that bad. There are a lot worse things members could be doing today (such as holding on to polygamy).

My neighbors across the street always have their flag flying on their porch edge--including at night. However, they keep the porch light on so that it is flying legitimately every 24 hours. I have a flag hanging on my front kitchen window, on the inside of my house. But, it is kind of small, and not easy for outsiders to see.

Thanks for the warning. The only men I let in my house are relatives, and the only women are relatives--or people I known very well.

Two women came to my house, and I assumed they were female Mormon missionaries, so I let them in. Wrong: They were two realtors wondering if I wanted them to sell my house for me. ------ Later in the day, two other women came to my door, and told me they were missionaries, so I let them into my house. One was very short, and Asian, and the other was a healthy big eater. They wante

C.Zipper: I strongly disagree with your sentiments. Before I met him, my husband was drafted into the Army Air-coir during WWII, and was issued a gun and rifle. And, due to his high IQ, he was also assigned, as a Sargent, to drive the jeeps for the brass. This was also due to his ability to speak a little German and French (I still have his little dictionary language books). As he didn

This is stretching the subject a bit. I have a monkey bookcase- top decoration depicting the "See no evil, Speak no evil, and Hear no evil". It is four inches high, is brown, with a lighter color for the face, hands, and bottom of it's feet, while sitting on its behind, with it's hands covering his mouth. (A female wouldn't do such a silly thing.)

A new member of the church, a young male, came out from a rest-room visit with his zipper UN-zipped. I took him aside, and as silently as I could, informed him of this mishap. Worst, it proved that he didn't wash his hands afterwards. (Yuck.)

"They keep raping alter boys". IMO, it is not natural for men not to enjoy sex. Therefore, some Catholic priests have defaulted by raping alter boys. Very sad!

I have a car protector roof outside my kitchen door. The fun stuff is that a Mrs. Bird has chosen this area to raise her chicks. It appears she does so by (hardly) never leaving the nest she worked so hard to provide. Can you image how many trips she had to make to go back and forth, until she had enough twigs to make the nest? She is almost always sitting on her eggs (waiting for them to

Unfortunately, IMO, people don't go to church nearly as much as they used to (including me). I did go for my granddaughters recent mission farewell (wearing my best slacks, as I no longer own any dresses). She was assigned to a spot where she will have to learn their language (which is easy for her). However, (as it would seem), most people learn how to speak English--as it is good for thei

Dear Kathleen: Thanks for your concern. Nope, I'm in good shape--even have two would-be suiters who live on either side of me, albeit one is already married (but didn't let that stop him from sending me a dozen flowers). The other one--on the other side of my house--is a certifiable jerk!, who lives with his family. I even had to call the police to warn him to stop harnessing me, as he k

Some of you my be asking yourself, "Won't this Thatcher yarn ever end?" Well, one more story to add: In the very hot summer, my grandfather sent his sons (via horses) up to the nearest high mountain to cut big stones of ice. This ice was then buried into a big hole, cut into the ground for this purpose, with lots of straw surrounding the ice to keep it "clean". The res

thedesertratl: The name "Larson" is familiar to me, even as it moved from Thatcher, to L.A. county. My family visited them regularly. He was a very tall man. He became a "plain-close" detective, whom I happened to see in a store in L.A. I stopped to talk with him, but he quickly shooed me away, as he was on a case. It's corny to say this, but it IS a small worl

My grandfather was kind of like the mayor of the town.
