Omg!! You guys have got to read this.. Its from the "Mormon are coming" thread...


I have to say first off that I have no problem with the Mormons or the JW. Everyone I have come across has been very pleasant. However, I have to tell my "horror" story about one particular visit.

This was pre-child- it was actually during "baby making" time. DH had called me at work and told me he was leaving early, so I of course, left my work early since I was ovulating. I got home before him and proceeded to put on my sexiest lingerie (I am talking Adam & Eve attire here!). And I must say, I was looking pretty fine. It was 2pm. I was waiting for him upstairs when I heard the doorbell ring. Thinking it was him and he forgot his key or was playing a little game with me, I ran downstairs in my lingerie and opened the door very excitedly and practically jumped into the arms of a young Mormon man. I was mortified and they (there were 3 of them) were shocked. They just stared at me and didn't say a word, total silence for about 30 seconds. Finally one said, "um, I think we came at a bad time" and quickly turned around and the others followed. They pretty much ran away as fast as they could!

After I got over my mortification, I was laughing hysterically for days about it. They never did come back.

That is hilarious!

My parents always hated the religious soliciters, and with a JW family living next door, they seemed to come through our neighborhood a lot. My parents... Well, I should say my MOM was always very nice to them, just saying no thank you. The Mormon folks seemed to take no for an answer and go along their way, but not the JWs, they'd practically stick a foot in the door and demand to know why you didn't want to know more.

I've had both Mormon and JW friends, and I asked a Mormon friend why they keep coming around when you say no. He said they're supposed to unless someone in the household specifically asks to be taken off their list. If you tell them you do not want them coming back and ask to be taken off their list, they are supposed to respect your wishes.

I haven't ever done that actually, but now I'm thinking next time I'll put on the red lace that DS3 is so fond of...

I made a HUGE pot. 2 packages of beans! We are going to be some gassy fools around here.

I am watching Blue Lagoon.. What the heck is up with this movie? It is STUPID.

Ooooo, you should watch Endless Love next. Apparently to get Brookie to get the right look on her face during "lovemaking" (she was a virgin at the time), they had one of the film crew squeeze her big toe.

We get a lot around here, and I get all flustered and just tell them no thanks. Dh on the other hand?? Oh he has other ideas! but unfortunately, we just dont have time to get the sacrificial chicken ready.

There's a hilarious scene in a version of East of Eden. I'm not sure when this version was made, but I think it was made for TV, and maybe was made in the 70s.

Anyway, the wealthy family with two sons (who are the main characters in the story) live in San Francisco and have a Buddhist manservant who is sort of everything to them: butler, cook, housekeeper, counselor, nanny to the boys.

Some proselytizers come to the door, and he tells them they are not interested, and when they press the issue, he says, "I am a heathen, thank you" and shuts the door. I've always loved that line!

I think my weekend caught up with me, sleepy and tired out today YAWN

We went to Ontario Mills, had lunch at Applebee's (it was good), LEGO outlet and found a Liz Claiborne store going out of business-- today was there last day, anything that was remotely cute or something I would need.. was a size 24 or 22. Good deals to be had if you're those sizes ( I watched one lady buy three huge bags full of pants), slim pickings if you're smaller and really not into wearing bright floral patterns on your capris.

I was bummed because they had some cute Sigrid Olsen items, I would never have the opportunity to buy NEW Sigrid Olsen for $3.99 each... bohoo..no way would I buy it at full price either ($70 for capris?? are u nuts?!?!?)
Walked out with a shirt and a cute pair of capris for a bit of pocket change.

Hi Bernice! Whats shakin mama?

 

[funnygarcia]

Pixie, I read the posts about your lil sister, I can imagine it's hard for you to deal with these tantrums and attitudes.

I agree with the other hyenas-- there could be a alot of things causing the behavior-- from not getting enough attention (or the right kind of attention), body image issues, and maybe just not having time to just be.... well..... lazy. Preteens/ teens need time to laze and ponder the weight of the world on their shoulders-- yeah right?? huh?? No really, they need time to just exist and be mellow. KWIM?

Do you ever wonder if she's depressed? I know sounds odd -- angry yes.. depressed sad no.

In some people, anger is an easier outlet to deal with the inner demons. Just a thought to toss out there.

Well.. my kids are supposed to be cleaning the bed room. They arent, of course. I walk inot the bed room, and Mikalah is climbing to the top of Alex's bed putting toys up there. AND she is looking like it is something she does on a regular basis!! Scared the piss out of me. Other then that? Everything is totally normal here.
