Going to the temple

I think going to the temple was the only thing that brought me back to church. Doing temple work and geneological research has always been very important to me. I remember the first time I went to the temple in Oakland, California my mother had made me a beautiful dress. Well someone stole my suitcase in the fitting rooms and that beautiful dress. After our temple session the kids got to go to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco but I didn't get to go as I was looking for my suitcase. They had so many beautiful fountains and flowers. A sign said "Do not pick the flowers." Well I didn't have any shoes as they were in my suitcase and I remember picking flowers in that beautiful garden. Well some snotty Mormon girl said--"Can't you read? The sign said don't pick the flowers!" She told me I looked like some kind of hippy picking the flowers too because of having no shoes. I just looked at her and said--"I don't think God cares if I pick a few of these!" So many snotty Mormon women I've known since joining the church! When I left Alaska of course they had to throw away my beautiful temple books. I found them on Amazon and will send for them as soon as I get extra money.

Fat women in America

I know being overweight or obese is unhealthy for us. I've been overweight for sometime now but not nearly as heavy as these poor ladies. I think being overweight is more of an "emotional" issue rather than just genetics or poor eating habits or not enough exercise. When I was in high school I was always told I was too fat and I weighed appromately 140-150 pounds and at almost 5 feet 7 inches tall that wasn't fat at all. I think the abuse of family members and my ex-husband and boyfriends caused me to gain weight more than anything. When you are beaten with a belt by a brother it causes emotional issues. When your sister screams at you all night long she hopes you become a prostitute when you are just 19 it causes emotional issues. Or when you are married and your husband constantly puts you down and calls you an educated idiot, that you can't do anything right causes emotional issues. I know this is why I've gained my weight. But again I'm on ano...

More and more homeless families and children in America yet President Trumps cuts foodstamps

I guess homeless families, and children, and growing poverty in America doesn't concern a billionaire president who just recently cut foodstamps for America's poor. One out of five children in America today are homeless and hungry yet the richest president in America's history has cut foodstamps more than 1/2 for the nation's poor. And most of them are children. Funny how our government can build new missles, new ships, build a Berlin wall, and help the refugees all across America and yet allow America's most vunerable to go hungy. Shame on you Donald Trump, shame on you!

Homemaking lessons

Back when I was growing up we all took Home Economics in High School; and we had Home-making lessons at church. We learned: Budgeting, sewing, cooking, taking care of children, cleaning house, etc. Some of our projects didn't turn out so well. In church we were taught that having children was the most important role of a woman until you had kids who looked like this: Some women have just given up and have given their kids this for dinner. And we've told the kids to clean up their own messes! We tell our lazy no good husbands to get a job for a change!
