denmark, 1962

the royal copenhagen museum was incredible...we saw the flora dancia collection{a super old huge dish set with different plants of Denmark on it} vibeke was so impressed that i knew what it was and was all excited to show me...she would tell everyone that i was american and they would give me free phamphlets, that everyone else had to pay for...yakob and gut met us there and we took a walking tour....we went into a huge church that was so unreal with all the tapestries and gothic statues..yakob works for the government and had to return to work and was to take a bus and meet us later....the harbor and the Amalicborg where the Queen livwes and yes she was at home, and the statute of the "little mermaid"...eller den litle harvfrue, pi dansk....she is so smalkl, but she has this huge reputation and represents this tiny country that i think is so great..on the way to tivoli, i saw a man run over by a bus and he was screaming in dutch, some awful swear words...it was the bus outside christianborg that yakob was to be on...he wasn't there so i walked around looking for him in the gardens until 4:30...i went to the shopping street to look for a phone when i saw it...it was a 1921 copenhagen blue plate in a store window,,, the year of my mother's birth...it was a portr of a woman on a chair and it was now mine...

when we lived in midvale we had large open fields...our next door neighbor whose name is pack had giant pine trees that covered a whole half acre of ground....we walked a quarter of a mile to pick up fresh bottles of milk from the smart line dairy...this was all at 7200 south 113o east in salt lake city...i had a bishop who would take me on hundred mile rides to fairview to talk about his two counselors and how to motivate them to greater works and heights...he later moved to SANPETE, as did one of his counselors, as did i also to ephraim..

i don't care what they all say


i don't care what all the doctor's say, i got the flu after getting a flu shot once...they charge money for it, and it makes you feel bad afterwards and it it is a shot too, isn't it and then after you get over the shot, you may or may not get the flu but in years that i don't get the flu shot i may or may not get the flu that year also.. why trust a doctor????i have had infectons not get better after going to the doctor and the only thing that makes my diabetis better is not the drugs the doctor's perscribe but me losing weigth down to a ' I LOOK GOOD, SIZE' ...while i am on the subject...nothing i have even gets better after going to a doctor...all my stuff hides in my body and comes back at different times no matter what a doctor happens to do or say... ........................................................................................

dallan, one of my FAVORITE people of all time ask me to relate a story i had after i read her story about beggers...she said it was often hard to give to a begger because when they were asking for food saying they were hungry, what they were really were saying was give me money so i can add to the money i get and am going to get from others so i can spend it the way i wish....well that led to my story and the one she said i had to tell on putz after i had told it on one broken off...i worked in the city and county building for slc corporation and just finished my lunch at wallgreen drug, by temple square downtown slc, when a begger came up to me and said he was hungry, could i give him a dollar or some change...the thought immediaetly came to my head, take him in to walgreens and buy him a bowl of soup...not give him a buck....so i said come into the drug store at that neat lunch counter that i remember so well in wallgreens...he hesitated...maybe he just wants a taste of boooze...he said ok, and we sat and he ate vegtable soup and we talked and talked and you know how the putz likes to talk...about his home, his family, his hard times, and he might have been hungry too, because he ate the soup

379my strange mind




when i was a custodian i had to take down 7 hundred and fifty chairs after a lecture every friday, stack them , put them on dollies in the maintenance room....they were orange colored and like loren's ducklings i got bored, so i would imagine the organge chairs as a big piece of cheese....then , me and the mouse would nibble ont or at the edge but not so much....i would then plunge into the middle section of the chairs leaving all the edges....someone should have fired me(tooo late now} because the auditorium looked so disorganized, but i would have died of boredum any other way....i had each chair assigned a number...1 or 56 or 750 and once a student asked me, "why the numbers?" actually many students over the years would ask that question....i said "oh, so i can take them down in order of their number...the kid would say, well 67 is over there stacked on chair 90...i would GO " oh no, now i have to start all over...has anyone seen chair 1???????????

putz's neighbor


well to get the total truth about carolyn you would have to go back to her youth,,,when she was about three years old she was abducted by a pack of monkeys that were living in south american...this in it's self explains the body odor problem, she will still claim to have taken s shower but in reality all she does is just put a little water in her hair hoping that will trick people into thinking she isn't all that dirty, but you can smell the truth,,,by the time she was twelve the group of monkeys she had been living with were captured and sold to a circus in Brazil....it took a little while, but eventually someione noticed that one of the monkeys was a little different than the rest of them....you might think that it was because she wasn human , but that wasn;t it at all...the biggest differance was because of the smell,{not of the monkeys} and the fact that she was a little slowerthan the rest of the monkeys at the circus....the owner of the circus realized that this odd monkey was costing him quite a bit of money because she was actually beginning to frighten the circus patrons....plus she seemed to be eating more than the rest of the monkeys put together....to be quite blunt she was actually eating more than some of the elephants were..the owner had no choice but to sell carolyn raviolli to a private zoo...well that would be a polite way to put it after the zoo keepers actually saw her....the owner paid a small fee under the table to get them to take her ..pooor carlina from up the street in ephraim....this is the place that for most monkies, it would end, but not for carolyn, over the years she would be pawned off on who ever would take her.....eventually all turmoil ended when someone donated her to a science lab in southern california...the scientist notice something peculiar about specimen 13b....they decided they wanted to do a dna study on this little freak of nature, when the results came back one of the scientists was quoted as saying""there is no god'' ...THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE THEY WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT HOMO SAPIEN...at first they released their findings in the SCIENCE JOURNAL, the story was titled 'THE MISSING LINK' the story was later disproved and destroyed....she wasn't missing link just a regular human...right now she is part of a sociological study...she is living in EPHRAIM UTAH, working at Ephraim Elrmentary school as a teacher's aid....they are trying to see if she can be adapted into society, and as of right now that experience is FAILING

bits and pieces

i was running in a church parking lot with my arms open wide in the pitch black night when i ran into a volleyball standard with a cement tire securing it at the bottom. i split my mouth wide open...my missionary companion elder evans got malnutrician with little red dots all over his body by eating strictly peanut butter sandwiches, and when our landlord died in our arms, we got the blame...we tracted one city bromsgrove out three times in less than 6 months..in london i asked a woman where high holburn street was...she said ioburn, i said no high holburn, she said it it don't make no nere mind bit.. it...made me lauph[LAUGH] to see a cof[CALF] walk down the poth[PATH] to take a bof[BATH]..my companion wore a black turtleneck sweater and one guy kept saying yes father over and over at the door....i ran into a cow on my ten speed bike and jerry cockraines father was baptised back home in the states ....we finally closed down bromsgrove for backbiting and rededicated the area before the mission office moved us out....just after this tribulation we baptised for 12 straight weeks....gave a talk on the death of president kennedy when he was shot in Dallas Texas....graduated from college in august 1966 in business management with minors in pschology, finance,religion, statistics, and sociology

what if?

''BROTHER abe you surely don't mean to allow that child to go out on such a bitter day as this?" "why not said the doctor, if a delicate invalid like yourself can bear it, surely a hardy girl can especially if she is dressed for the cold weather"'"..."but you have no idea how sharp the wind is doctor, i am chilled to the very marrow of my bones, but wear crape and silk instead of fur and flannel.'' ''IT WILL BE THE DEATH OF YOU'"'....."well i warn you, you are trifling with the girl's health and she had made so much iMprovement".."she could be blessed if we just would occassionally ride out into the darkness of the night and look at the sky and ponder our place in the world of hope'"'.."I HOPE SHE DOES and will not drop away at the first serious attack as her poor mother did''..."I'LL Risk it answered the doctor" "mark my words, you will repent of it"....the doctor had a failing of being told what to do....the funeral was not elaborite, just the minister, zeb, abe and I

my favorite period of time

hand plows , indians, pioneers, wagons, horses, early 1800's before motors, electronics,....NOT cell phones, fax machines yes even this old internet which i am addicted too...where a man was judged on his sheer survival skills and not on his ability with things and operations, but on finding food with a rifle...you know lonesome dove, Rio Grande, Texas, cattle, little house on the parrie....a man could bury himself in a hole and cover himself up for the winter with his supply of water and food and wait for spring....he wouldn't be filing income tax returns or adicting himself on dangerous drugs or having to figure out tv remotes...stoves...i put a pizza in to cook and went back to check on it ...the stove door wouldn't open and it was smoky...all i was trying to do was cook a blasted pizza....i got it turned off but the stove still wouldn't open, instead there was a blinking sign on it that said" cooling down, please wait"

iii can't let this white space go undeveloped.....it is just not in me....this is aunt marth who was a twin and who decentdent from the braithwaites....was married and got along very well with her huband....styled her hair a certain way...wore flowered dresses which her husband didn't mind and generally had a wonderfull life...she said something by the way she looked and the things she said and no one thought ever to correct her...my idol hannah hibbert dalton had to stand by while her son jimmy was dying and watch him die because she spoiled him too much according to her husband mr. mcsimmons...he was a mier at the ophir mine....alos had an invalid son in a wheelchair and walk with hime 4 miles to do her geneology work in the slc temple......................................................

i don't think anyone should be about the business of changing another person...more than likely that person likes his or her personality and it is possible that god liokes his or her personality..i think most people are funny strange and that there is no reason to change them or we risk losing all that laughter and even the poorest have something interesting to say.. hannah born nov 6 2005 and she will have some important things to say

TWO PRINCIPLES...MY THEOLOGY

this post nosurf girl is the piece on MONEY l was talking about

ON MONEY, i think there must be two principles in force when families deal with money[REMEMBER IT IS ALL THE LORDS]...GOD has the responsibility to provide for us while we keep his commandments....so he works on these two principles of there BEING ENOUGH AND TO SPARE, and the law OF THE TEN FOLD RETURN....use either one...one is on the principle of abundance and in this one you can be very free with your moneyand it will return to you ten times the amount[LETTING IT OUT FOR SEED MONEY]...THE OTHER principle does not work under abundance, but on the conceptof there always being just enough and the never failing vial of oil...there will never be more than just a little at the bottom of the vial that will NEVER RUN OUT...on either principle you will not starve....for on the one you will help MANY, and on the other you can be assured god is loving you specifically based on your faith...problem when one wants lots lof money to operate on[WIFE] and the husbsand wants to use his faith just to barely keep going by using just the bottom of the vial enough and to spare...i think either way is correct, but i am not sure you can use both at once

THIS WET RUG NEED TO DRY ON THE BACK OF THIS BEAUTIFUL HORSE

when we returned to utah we lived in an apartment near wasatch hot springs,,,we had a little dog and lived right by a park where she could go everyday to play...the apartment was on the second floor and we wanted to make it the neatest home we ever had, so david took an old brown rug and tried to dyed it purpleish.....it was soaked in the bath tubb....no no no...it was too wet to leave in the aprtment and so david took it outside and hung it on the railing to dry....well it dripped for days onto the apartment below us...no one bothered to complain but there was a purple stain and it never seemed to dry and it hung there all winter..our apartment was quite small and this was a large rug

a deaf couple had just arrived at their motel for their honeymoon....they start unpacking and the nervous husband goes out to get a drink...it is pitch dark and he forgets his room number....all the rooms look alike and he walks to the car and continuously honks the car horn until all the rooms start lighting up with angry hearing people who were awakened by the noise. all but one room...he goes into that room...daniel always refered to our bathroom scales as a "foot clock"

HALLOWEEN GOULS

i have done some real research on this...our halloween costumes for our five children were always indicative of their inheritently different personalities as they passed from year to year...first kimberly and karen used to go together and karen as a big sister would always take tony, and then mike, bec and dan...this is how our halloween looked...becky was a bird,cat,witch, rabbit, bunny rabbit, raggetty ann and dancer...daniel was a clown, army guy mummy, grim reaper and a weird grown up...mike was a a pirate, army guy, cool dude, robot and refridgerator....tony was a deer hunter...karen was a ballerina...now days some dress up as women of the night, real bad stuff...things have really changed

young men shall see visions, old men shall dream dreams

i was a cutodian with a major inspection due...i was almost through cleaning the building when a group of people came in to eat...they threw carrots all over the kitchen and when the inspection team got to the stake center in ephraim the group had also brought hay into the cultural hall,,,before the end of the night all the girls had been raped and when i had gotten all the girls into the ambulances and was almost finally caught up with my cleaning by removing all the hay and carrots, the boys who violated the girls threw molitov coktails into the stake center burning it to the ground.... i started to dust the ashes with my feather duster when when the inspection team said it was too late to do that since i had just failed the inspection...i got blamed for the girls also, and the burning of the building and they also mentioned the previous mess of hay and carrots that caused me to fail the inspection because it WAS ALL DAVID'S FAULT..pay your tithing..nov 28 1999..i dreampt karma had an accident earlier in the day...she had a slight neck problem, that night i went to my stake president for an interview when in walks howard w hunter...i was visablly shaken..i did not expect this...he asked me if i was all right//AND TO SIT DOWN, I WAS FAINT...HE THEN SAID[i was expecting to go to spring hill missouri, or be thrown out of the church, well it was almost worse}you have not paid all of your tithing, i said 'HAVEN'T I????haven't i sent that check on the hutch in yet?he said"apparently not....i got up and checked the hutch for the tith check...the check was gone....i asked karma where it was and she said she had it in her purse....i then asked her to hand it in

two complicated dreams

i have been having this dream every single night..i go to the registar at utah state university and tell them that i have completed another 10 hours of classwork and am told i only need 4 to graduate but by the time i am supposed to see my graduation, the registration people tell me "i'll be just a moment" and i am wisked off to my wakeful life without my degree never knowing whether i have graduated...the next night i dream of taking another 10 hours of classes to complete my required core, but i can't find the classroom, and spend the whole night in my dream looking, but finnally finish, tests and all...later going back to the reistrar thinking now i must be past the point of graduation when he says "i'll be just a moment" and left standing there and wisked off to my wakeful life...the point is i finished a degree at byu and took master's classes at snow college...even though i got straight a's in course work i never felt finished...i am really wondering if god expects me to go back and finish as a master in history...the next dream is called apparantly dead...i died and apparently karma, jay snow, lois snow, and my dad were all dead too...i was expecting some punishment for all my sins because i started out all alone...i was in this big waiting room, i knew i was supposed to wait there, but i was afraid i was in spirit prison and so i got up to wander around{WHICH I ALWAYs DO] a bit to see if i could better the place where i was at...the first thing, was i found myself in this big silver building looking for karma lee..i asked a breaded man if he had seen my wife and he pointed over to my wife and said" all you had to do was ask god",,,,,well i was still worried i was where i shouldn't be so i and karma wandered down this corridor and spent hours poking into this room and that room asked the same man where the celestial waiting room was, the man said"do you remember jay snow?" i said "yes" and he said" well he is back at the waiting room that you started in....so me and karma starteed to walk back and found jay snow wandereding around too and asked him where lois was...he said he had no idea but would me and karma go with him to find her...so we went back to the waiting roomand back in the silver building where we found lois snow and told jay all he had to do was ask god and return to the waiting room...we found my dad who was looking for my mom and he decided to walk back with us, when we got back to where we were supposed to be, we were all looking around since we were all upset thinking we would see the devil and our sure punishment, but instead i saw my mom sitting peaceably and lois said she was in so much peace and lois said" what you should have done at the start was sit alone in that big waiting room from that very first moment on and i said", well that sure all makes sense, lois"

sarah, another historical absurdity

on my paternal/maternal side my great great great grandmother and her mother with sarah, john dalton jr. hellena and edward were coming to american for mormonism..well john senior went to the boat to reluctantly see them off on the monarch of the sea,,,wel when they looked around as the boat was leaving , sarah was missing, 2 years old...old john dalton had SNATCHED her from the boat and took her back to manchester to raise her in the silk industry...she was pampered, and was married to james barlow, who died young 33, in an accident.....sarah never saw her mother, grandmother, brother or sisters again...america was only possible for the putz because ernest left to work for his uncle john dalton jr. jr. in 1909

edith and ernest

edith only wife of ernestborn eleven out of twelve...unbelievable story with her dealing with medical doctors in tooeleafter the birth of her fifth child lillian, her placenta burst and did not exit her body...rather than surgically remove it, the doctors jammed a hot iron rod up iside of her allowing the placenta to grow on the iron rod...she was in her twenties...after a period of time the rod was pulled out of her ripping the placenta from her body, the pain was impossible for her to endure...she receded back into her mind and ver soon afterward performed weird acts such as placing her last born llilian into an oven....they did not medicate edith or give her therapy for post mortem depression but instead placed her in a mental institution in american fork hospital where she remained all the days of her life dying in 1972 and her husband in 1974.......so my father was motherless and ernest single....ernest was on the boat erie on april 9, 1909, his work journal recorded, clear crisp cold days standing on the bow of the great boat...long and boring...he did not get sea sick and spied the glacial snow in the distance...GREENLAND...arrived at new york harbor and boared a smokey black train which had terrible delays...he worked for a mr. black and his uncle, a mr. daltonalmost continually with little time for seep, food or pleasure..he was a member of the firedepartment and sang in the opera with edith at many opportunities...edith was one of very few, i have ever considered BEAUTIFUL

it's david's fault..people always need a scapegoat, some one to pin their mistakes on....if something went wrong at home, his family always switched their eyes to david...when an arrow hole was shot through harold's gas can, did they look to diane...NO...WHEN SOMETHING WENT WRONG AT THE INSTITUTE OF RELIGION, WHOSE FAULT WAS IT????WHY ISN'T THAT MESS CLEANED UP??IT MUST BE DAVID'S FAULT...WHEN THOUSANDS OF PUMKINS WERE SMASHED OUTSIDE IN FRONT OF THE INSTITUE...it didn't matter that there was a party the night before and that david said to vanorman"i don't think so TIM' it was still david's fault...what a load , what a burden for that fellow to carry his whole life...to always be the responible one, people looking to him to do something about it, no matter what it was....but while some peple bear buden's of family, church, and community, DAVID will always have to bear the burden of lawnmowers cracking, vacums breaking, cars imoloding, tires getting bubbles, things being lost....blame blame blame....it will always be david's fault

high snow drifts

we had the worst winter i had ever seen in my fifteen yearswhich story i call twelve foot snow drifts(EXAGGERATION) ....i was walking home through the football field like i always did after school with my black tall boots that you clipped together with a clasp on the other side of the boot, it came halfway up your leg of your pant inside your boot....i was loaded down with books and falling about every second step and i looked up and saw this monsterous drift over the football field on the west and proceeded to walk up and over the South Col...i walked over the fence and rollled down the other side just making it home before dark...i rememember being in love with joann johnson, just two houses up from me.....she was coach johnson's daughter...he was the assistant football coach and head basketball coach under coach stringham and taught english...well i called her up on a date that was a mistake because i never called back and her mother answered the phone and said that her daughter was not at home...i said i would call back and and identified myself...her mother told her i called and from that day into the future she would give me funny looks...her girl friends wondered why i never called back but i was shy and had a chipped tooth that ruined my looks

the greatest differance between my church and yours (generally speaking) is that when we all started out with christ here with us, we all started out with all of christ's doctrines, and then over time you and i lost a few, but we believe the book of mormon which is a history of the inca peoples, and american indian....who had gold plates that they wrote on, brain surgery, baptismal fonts, authority, had in it's pages all that that was lost and also that joseph smith put all that together coupled with with the ancient bible and came up with the very same stuff the ancient church and it's prophet's had......and wala we have the church of jesus christ of latterday saints....cabeesssh??????

david falling on his head

the very beginning was an ignoble beginining...the first thing i do not remember was falling out of my parent's car near the Salt Lake International airport on my head...the car was moving about 35 miles per hour and going towardd's tooele....this is probably the reason why i act the way i do now(IGNOBLE ENIGMA). WHEN i was thirteen my father's aunt told me a sexcret, as a tiny soul you fell on your head from a moving car and landed on your head, it was an accident but you were never the same after that, and she said" you must remember that people dropped on their heads can be kind of peculiar.....i was

PUTZ'S 1ST BOOK, IGNOBLE ENIGMA

david won a prize for guessing how many beans were in a large jar at christensen's mercantile...his was a major prize, although the particular radio that he WON melted on him three different times...the radio tube was too big and too close to the body of the radio...he would take it back and they would give him a similar defective radio...in the end listened to it with the plastic melted but since most of his listening was about 1 a.m. in the morning, no one noticed that it was no good...david would get radio stations with clear signals, on especially cold nights when the air was about to snap, he would get radio signals even stronger...he listened one night to a station in CUTBANK ....david did not know where cutbank was, but he imagined it was pretty far because it would be -45 degrees and the radio commentator would caution everyone to not go without something on their arms, or face, or hands...he said noone should stay out for more than one or two hours at a time...david would then listen to elvis presley, buddy holly, , little richard, the great bopper richardson, the everly brothers and the hit parade with rosemary clooney...later we had a home teacher who knew where cut bank was...he had vever lived there himself, but he was from central Montana and he said cutbank was north of him near the Canadian border

stories...from putz's ignoble enigma

called the broken yardstick happened when i attended central jr. high school, i wasn't doing much at all, i was looking at this world globe and trying to get some class attention at the same time, i have always liked my share of the attention....and then all of a sudden i felt a horrible sting on my arm and heard this loud whappp...most teacher's used a ruler, but mr. DEE gowns uses a yard stick, he could break it over your head if he was really mad at youor he whapped you on the arm if he was only mildly miffed over your actions...that same year i won third place at the Tooele County Fair for a pigeon i had found under the bleachers at the football field, i entered the bird with a broken wing with a splint, it was dirty, ugly and weak: that next winter in 1957 the bird died...it won third prize at the fair, which goes to prove that county fairs will give a ribbon to any entry in junior high...i was getting a drink of water from a fountain on the school yardand steve carlise who was right behind me pushed my head down and he chipped my PERMANENT fron't tooth after hitting it on a spigit...i lost my good looksa, never to retain them again which came into account with the failure of my young love stories....we as a group of lads were standing in the middle of the street with a gun that shot blank bullets...WE WOULD WAIT until we saw a car and strart shoving one another around, and all of a sudded the gun would go off...one of the boys dropped to the street in a hump...he would jump up andf run off leaving the witnesses wondering what had happened...these same boys would stand half on one side of the street and half on the other side of the street and when a car would come driving down the street; WE WOULD PULL ON AN IMAGINARY WIRE ...boy did people get mad at that tom foolery...we also stle cherrys off of trees...i ran into a volleyball standard with wide open arms into my mouth and split my lips wide open in the pitch black night, a cement tire was securing it at the bottom

so many comments so little time

a man who has his daughter abducted right from uner his nose people while they were camping(without the mother} in the mountains. of course he feels responsible as well he should...the girl is sexually molested and the father is having a hard time..SOOO god who is an african woman appears to him in a note and invites him to the shack where his daughter was raped and molested...There at the shack is god and jesus who is a short sawed off guy and a muslim...the holy ghost is a happy go lucky guy who lives and let lives...then the book teach you a humanistic religion , how not to be mad at the person who raped your daughter and to try and make peace with a father who molested him..so teach, and becky and blondefab you now know

movie show


jerry bryan and i went to a movie show in provo utah when we were going to college. we were both very tight with our money so what we ended up doing was very hard. we paid our money and watched 10 minutes of a movie with one of my favorite singers in it,rosemary clooney...well she started kissing this woman...i think we would have been shocked even if she were kissing a man...well jeryy said let's walk out and i said yea, but what about our paid admission? jerry said, they will just give our money back..well we talked to the manager and he said to just go back and watch the movie and don't make such a big fuss about it. i said to jerry, le'ts go but he didn't want to leave without his money...finally jerry and i left the movie theater since we were so embarassed about everyone seeing us make such a big fuss

i guess i'm still on this love kick, because when jim said he was ready to hug me it took me back to this sunday and a hug....this is the complete truth...i know some people think i'm like the boy who called wolf when it comes to "my stories" but my family will see the truth because they know i live by the famous tom osmond of the ""fam"" well i was walking to my seat in church and he grabbed me and brought me down to his seat and hugged me and told me he loved me, and i later asked if he thought i was george osmnd, his father since it was father's day and carolyn his wife said no, he just loves you

believe it or not

my son daniel asked me to give my opinion, i was going to keep this to myself , but the truth of it even jim would agree wit.h..here goes i feel that auto makers have a carberator than is able and willing to produce 75 miles to the gallon, but for some strange reason won't put it on cars, but i feel now they are going to have to...just wait and see after my wife buys her new car thart gets 32 miles per gallon, they will immediately start selling the new cars that get 75 miles to the gallon, and i'm not talking about motorcycles

missionaries

many of you out there might have forgotten the putz's orientation to the latter day church and yet many of my readers might know that our church wants it's potential missionaries to be mentally stable(well yeh} , physically able, and emotionally in tune with fervent testimonies of our savior jesus christ and of the restored gospel....this in an 18 year old boy and yet while these requirements are necessary, they also want to double or triple the numbers of boys in the world preaching...wow this is quite a task, to multiple missionaries and to make the requirements out of this world...sort of a catch 22....both quality and quanity upwhile the number of available boys of course stays the same...i guess we have to start with our babies and keep at it throughout their lifes...we now have our annual MORMON MIRACLE..once again we cater to the casual visitor on "how much do you know about the church of jesus christ of latter day saints"....we must worry about our inactives, our new converts, those out there who have never heard of us....remember we are those young guys in black suits who go around in pairs, and our dead's salvation

movie review of an EXCEPTIONAL DOCUMENTARY

why is the new indiana jones movie the bestest of all the movies here on earth, because it is based on FACT....honest the nevada test site really did have houses, cars ,theaters, that were buried first in radioactive dust and then later in the ground, i saw a brand new cadillac buried, $12000 in 1969...i saw the first ever micowave in a kiosh with a $2 steak that you took from the freezer in the middle of the nevada desert and sizzeled for 2 minutes and no one was within 200 miles of you, also what was true was the incas with the elogated heads who were aliens and who developed a advanced culture, brain surgery etc...also england at that time with the university of oxford, all real ...of course the cold or hot war with the russians was faxtual...also the designs from the air that are unexplained ...how did those giant designs get there??of course the roswell site with mant. warehoused items hidden by the american government and our COVERUP...of course indy was slower byr this MOVIE CRITIC GIVES IT 27 STARS....

TRADITIONS

i am wondering if the english scouters have the same winter klondike thing as us americans..we a squad of eight build a sled on runners, sleek fast and after spending a night in -20 temperatures inside a snow cave playing 20 questions, we race across the top of a mountain in eight feet of snow with 4 0r 5 squads of eight men each to see who can do it the fastest or with two matches, a bit of kindlin a tomatoe can of water with soap in it, we try to boil the can of soapy water over so as to douse the fire if the fire ever gets started
