A New Year to look forward to!!!!

Why is it, at this time of year, we think of years past and the past year? I guess we look at it, in hopes the New Year will be better. I look at the past year and think, it just couldn't have been worse. But I count my blessings, First and foremost, I am thankful for my family, both my family and my extended family, who have been there for me through all of my trials. Which brings me to be thankful for my trials. Once again I have learned more this time around, then I did when I was younger. Maybe because I am older, maybe because through it all, I believe, my testimony has grown 10 fold. From paying my tithes and offerings, to the still small voice that told me to Fear Not. I have seen, since I have been comforted by the Spirit, that my family has also been comforted. I may not be perfect, but at least I know My Father in Heaven is watching over my family and myself.

Never a Dull Moment

With 5 children and a wife, who, when she is not overly busy, has time to let her mind wander. Two nights ago, both of us were having a hard time sleeping, when out of the blue, she started asking questions about a bidet. We were having a pretty good laugh, thinking of the the differernt ways we thought of how to use them. Then last night, I was looking at her blog, her friend had put a link to How to Use a Bidet. That in itself was making us laugh, but I found a site for CleanButt.com. This is a site that sells a bidet system you attach to your toilet. I found a promotional video for this product. We laughed hard at this, we found that this bidet had setting on it, to give the person on the toilet, an enema by a single stream of water, aimed at just the right place for the user. It had a massaging stream to comfort you while you sat. It has a seat warmer as well. Who in their right mind would want to get off of it?? This is just one thing, my darling wife has thought about lately.

What has been your favorite Christmas memory?

Mine was of my father. My mother, as my wife can tell you she still does, went overboard with gifts for the kids. But my dad would go out and get something the whole family could enjoy. One year, on Christmas Eve, he showed up with snowmobile for all of us. Another time, I believe while we were eating Christmas Eve supper, he left the table and went outside. He was gone for a short time, before he returned to finish supper. He had left to go and bring a Pool Table into the basement, mind you not the best of pool tables, but we still had fun with it. He loved to surprise us this way, which always gave me the best memories.

Smelly People

We have this guy at work, I have told you about him before, Thanksgiving glutton, who seems to care very little about his B.O., or breath. He got into work today, went directly to our supervisor and started talking to him. I witnessed a nice, normal colored skinned face, turn this ugly green color. This is not the first time this has happened, nor is it the first time he has been told about it. How can a person be told, time and again, they stink and they need to bathe more and brush teeth more, but still not do it?
