Yes... I have apologized to 3 and one to go.
(& one, that I have lost track of)
they are so cute in their cage with the red heat lamp warming them.
there are eggs in our future.
coop is built all i need to do now is put the fence in.
Hi Totally.......omg that sounds like heaven!
More of us need to grow our own food, makes
you healthy to be outside to feed the chickens &
collect the eggs, digging & weeding a garden gives
a good appetite as well as fresh "organic" food!
I would do it again in a NY minute...given the chance!

...when i told them i didn't believe anymore.
they cried like i'd never seen before.
my oldest, 10, pleaded with me that she'd do anything to get me to keep going to meetings ("i'll get a's on my report card!").
So sorry this has happened to your family Ugottabe,
who would ever have believed that a "religion" could cause
this kind of pain!

Syl .... it sounded like... you swallow the lemon whole ...
and then wash it down with water! hahah it just hit my
funny bone that's all!

I never had those problems, & was so glad cause my
job was really difficult & worked with mostly men at the time!
The only thing that I gave credit to, was vitamin E & calcium.

i knew it was coming.
i'd managed to swerve it once already when i saw the paper invite laid out all special in my mothers kitchen when i arrived at her house..i avoided the kitchen for the rest of the visit.. had the family over this weekend, we were alone whilst preparing food and i knew from the second that the tone in her voice changed what was coming.
the usual words along the line of "i invite you every year, i've got the paper invite to give you as well (like that would make a difference?!
Superstition at its best!

Again, ... people being driven by FEAR not love.

Ok ....I see a problem here.........
clarity of the been there, class
i lol whenever i run across this term because it aptly describes the elders' wives i've known.. bossy and domineering for the most part, they delighted in being the alpha females and watched jealously to see if any other female received undue attention from the body of elders.. i remember one who told me that my dress was too short, another said i was spoiling my daughter, and yet another wanted to know from where i was buying her clothes!.
too much!.
lol.. sylvia.
the stars of the show!
I think the word elderettes applies to unmarried pioneers
as well .......omg, the superiority of these people!
They get to attend "special" mtgs & get attention from the
the ELDERS ...sigh :-) ...oh boy where do I sign up!! lol
If you want to know where you stand in the congregation
just ask an elderette!
clarity
i'm not sure how else to describe this meeting at my kitchen table.
my elderette ("miss k") arrived with her friend in tow.
i vaguely remember the 2nd lady ("miss w") from the times we went to the kh, but like miss k, we never really talked in depth.
Wow FW ......well done & wonderfully written!
*
There is no greater test than 2 elderettes for 3 hours! :-)

Keep their noses right in that subject ...after all they do want to
convert you .......don't they.
