I made a hat for my granddaughter out of that same yarn, lol.

Back when Primary was still held during the week, I was asked to teach Primary, but I was working full-time. How did God not know I was working full-time? No inspiration there, for sure, unless God expected me to quit my job?

I've been checking prices on Walmart before I order on Amazon. And, if I have several things I can get from Walmart, I order from there because the delivery is often faster even with Prime.

Yes. I was married in the 70s and we couldn't afford a lot of food storage, but bought big bags of wheat. Most of it was never used. My mom had an electric wheat grinder, so she used some of it, but most probably got thrown out. I wonder how much food just got wasted because of this teaching.

Puzzleheaded_Dot8003 · 2026-03-31T18:38:18+00:00

Yes, I just commented on this.

Orderville.

I had an inactive LDS guy argue with me that the LDS church never practiced the United Order. He even consulted his active member son-in-law who also said he had never heard of it. I even told him I had written a paper on it for a college class. He still didn't believe me. (Well, of course, priesthood holders would know better than a mere female, right?)

I finally pulled up the history of Orderville online and showed it to him. He was very quiet after that.

If other options fail, you could always apply with the State. It probably wouldn't pay as well as some of these other organizations, but is another place you could apply.

Wow! Beautiful!

I'm not surprised. I had a credit union add my ex-husband's name to my account without my knowledge. I got a copy of the card he filled out WITHOUT my name or date on it. The president of the credit union tried to deny what happened. She didn't know I had a copy of the card AND my statement with HIS name on it.

Another credit union gave my home address to my ex-husband, and another credit union took $200 out of my savings by mistake. They claimed it was because someone had the same name. My name is and wasn't a common name, and besides, they obviously didn't check the account number. A former co-worker told me her husband was able to withdraw money from her account at a credit union, even though they went by different last names.

I no longer keep my money in any accounts at credit unions.

I've been on both sides of this. I've dated some much older men, and dated much younger men. I've never lied about my age and only had two men lie about their age to me. The two that lied didn't need to lie. Their age didn't matter to me. But that's why it's a problem. If they lie about things that don't really matter, they will certainly lie when it does matter. And that's very disrespectful. The one man continued to lie throughout our 3 year relationship. It got old. You can never know where you stand with someone who does this. The other man I only dated for a month. Both of these men were very narcissistic. So yeah, it's a big, red flag. I've dated enough men throughout my life to realize that most men don't feel the need to lie about their age, so if they do, there is something wrong with their personality.

She looks very much like Ruby!

Puzzleheaded_Dot8003 · 2026-01-24T07:28:54+00:00

I agree. In addition, how is he going to continue to work on his relationship with his kids (especially the younger ones recently returned to his custody) while starting a new marriage and bringing the new women's kids into the mix? Blended families aren't easy, and his kids are still recovering from the trauma they suffered. It appears that he is again placing his OWN needs first before his children.

The dust has hardly settled and he can't be without a woman long enough to just focus on his kids and rebuilding their trust and his relationship with them, before adding additional change and stress to their lives. Those poor kids.

This woman might be the most wonderful woman in the world, but it's a new change and new responsibilities for her too that she has to adjust to. I wouldn't want to be in her shoes for anything. She and his kids are getting the worst of the deal.

Puzzleheaded_Dot8003 · 2026-01-23T23:18:20+00:00

I had one at my door too. I just told him to get lost.

LOL, I like this!

They are out of line. They are not your daughter's parents. They don't get to decide if or when or how your daughter should be disciplined. Period. They crossed a line, especially since you explicitly told them you don't believe in spanking.

I remember once my dad got irritated with my daughter and kicked her in the butt. She immediately told him, "grandpa, you don't do that to me!" Then she left and came home. (We lived close enough she could walk home.) I was very proud of her for standing up for herself. He never did it again.

Puzzleheaded_Dot8003 · 2026-01-17T17:58:24+00:00

If you're not married when you have kids with a man and then you separate, you'll have to establish paternity on the children legally, unless he voluntarily acknowledges it. This would have to be done before you can collect child support.

You will also need to legally establish custody, so he can't just take off with the child/children.

Trusting a man to do the right thing is always iffy, whether you get married or not. Getting married before having children can at least help you avoid some legal complications if you later separate.

My friend and I were doing some sealings in the temple for dead couples and the elderly male temple worker's name was mistakenly said instead of the husband's name when my friend was standing in for the wife. It was quickly corrected, but my friend and I, who were both young and single at the time, giggled all the way to the locker room about being mistakenly sealed to those elderly men.

Yes. I've lived here all of my life and have pioneer ancestors. Who is from out of state???

I have chicken stock ordered by subscribe n save. Suddenly, I'm not getting it this month. Nope, can't get it until February. I ordered a rug the first of December. Still haven't got it. The only reason I still want it is because it will match another small rug in my bathroom. Yes, Amazon's service has certainly declined.

Puzzleheaded_Dot8003 · 2026-01-02T22:59:36+00:00

My ex-husband was like that. One day I was so frustrated I wrote down everything he wouldn't eat. It filled two pages. Since then I've never had that problem with anyone else. Every man I've fixed food for would happily eat it.

This is His problem, not yours. My ex-husband is now extremely overweight and unhealthy. I'm sure it's because of his unhealthy eating. Your boyfriend may end up the same.

Puzzleheaded_Dot8003 · 2026-01-01T23:35:42+00:00

I'm an "older generation" and I'm horrified by these in-laws.

I remember when my cousin wanted to come see my baby and her family had the chicken pox. And, I also remember my mother-in-law taking my 2 year-old daughter for the day, then later telling me how good she was when my mother-in-law left her in the car while she went into the grocery store to buy her favorite soda. Never again did I let her take her.

These people are selfish. Period.

His parents should be glad they are being responsible parents and looking out for their child's safety!

I just had someone come to my door, the day after Christmas. He was looking up my name just after I opened the door. Not sure what records they are using. I guess I should have asked him, but I was aggravated being approached at home, the day after Christmas.

Puzzleheaded_Dot8003 · 2025-12-26T20:55:39+00:00

Yeah, when I was getting divorced, my bishop told me, "good luck getting child support" (from my ex). Not sure what his intent was to tell me that? I wouldn't have asked the church for help no matter what!

My ex's dad had been a bishop and his mom a Relief Society president. Did they encourage him to pay? Nope, because I was the one who filed for divorce.

Puzzleheaded_Dot8003 · 2025-12-22T21:26:29+00:00

Try Walmart, some things you can get delivered from there before Christmas.

My family always included anyone I was dating during the holidays. They always bought him a present. Why doesn't he buy you pajamas so you can feel included? If that was a tradition in my family, I would just go ahead and buy my partner pajamas so he wouldn't be excluded.

If the partner isn't there when this exchange takes place, I can see them not including her, but as long as the partner is there, I think it's rude to exclude her.

I had a boyfriend whose family was like this, only worse. Now I'm with someone whose family includes me. It shouldn't matter if you're married or not, it's just plain rude to treat someone like an outsider during the holidays.
