Hey DMiller, Just so you don't misunderstand me, I totally agree with you, I deleted it, the only reason I had it up there in the first place was to let people know how two-faced these people were....... Cowgirl

Wacky, you're absolutely right, if my memory serves me correctly they gave it to us at the "Living Victoriously" class....it came in a red box, black leather, and it also had the picture of the painting done of the apostles receiving the holy spirit and the cloven tongues of fire above their heads. Mine has been in the garbage for awhile.... Cowgirl

Mister P-Mosh In regards to your statement "....he is the only one who has any right to tell us how we should behave and what we should talk about around here." Give me a break!!! Are you back in lala land ? I gave that up years ago, no one's going to tell me how to behave or what I should talk about ! No offense to you, Paw. He could of put anyone's name in there and it still would of got under my skin! Cowgirl

Hope R, I remember it being taught just within in minutes before hearing that class on marriage, that he and Donnna did, and I do recall very vividly, it was in reference to confronting someone....... Cowgirl

"Go until you break glass" was used in the context of confronting someone. We were taught to take care of matters within a 24hr period and if it wasn't getting resolved peacefully within that time frame, you were to get in that person's face until they changed their minds, no matter what it took and what you had to say to get that person to come around. You could either open the glass door and go around it and handle people's hearts lovingly or you could be like a bull in a china shop and walk right through the glass ripping people's hearts to shreads. Unfortunately that's the way most people's hearts were dealt with............ Cowgirl

Whoaaa, "Heaven's Highest Hill" talk about a heartbreaker............ Cowgirl

Just Thinking, I think you meant to say "anal evaluations" Cowgirl

Hi Dot, please check your PT Cowgirl

Here's the actual recipe for the sesame peanutbutter bars: 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup peanut butter (the natural does a better job) 1 cup non-instant powdered milk 1/2 cup shredded coconut 1 cup sesame seeds Warm honey and peanutbutter together, add powdered milk, coconut and then sesame seeds. Spread into a 9x9 pan, refrigerate, and cut into squares. Makes a dozen

Hi NotinKansasanymore, Are you talking about the ones with the peanutbutter and seasme seeds?

Talk about bringing back alot of memories, I was in the 17th way corps at Emporia, to me it was total waste of time, the leadership didn't know from day to day what to do with us, they just winged it and loaded us up with countless work days, I remember working the teacher's room, ( a room that was for leadership to get ready in, just before they went up and taught)you were basically at there beck and call, whatever they wanted you got for them, or did for them, everything had to be perfect in that room, the lighting in the room, the seating arrangement, the carpet vaccumed a certain way, even the breath mints had to be cut in 1/4 sizes, you even had to go out and rescue some poor soul from the audience (way corps person waiting for the leadership to teach) and bring them back to the teacher's room, so they could get raked over the coals by the leadersip, with you standing there hearing it all !! I could go on and on about that experience, but in the end, it just showed me how anal retentive, the leadership really were!!! Lack of sleep, tell me about it !!! When i had to do "bless patrol", instead of patroling the grounds like i was supposed to do, I would go to sleep in this little standup box out in the back of the campus!! I even remember having to sweep the road that went around the front of the campus every Sunday, there'd be about 15 of us out front with brooms, sweeping away for about 3hrs, it had to be swept to perfection. I remember the saying they used to pawn over on us, "if you were detail minded in the physical, it would spill over into to the spiritual!! HA ! I remember another time I got reamed for not wearing nylons when I went to do part of a mock teaching in front of the way corps, it was so retarded, who the heck was going to see my legs standing behind the podium, but the leadership obviously checked me out on the way up, otherwise they would have never known........ The ONE thing that I honestly did enjoy, was working on grounds and in the greenhouse, that was a great experience in itself!!! Looking back, the thing that irked me the most was the legalism, and always having somebody tell you what to do, I felt like i was being suffocated and didn't feel free to just be myself, they wanted everyone to conform to what they thought the ideal way corps person should be and there was no room at all for individuality. It sucked !!!

Wacky, that sounds so cool !! I just had to respond, I have a lop also, he's just wonderful, he's the color of cinnamon, so that's what i call him, when i'm at home and he's out of his cage, he'll follow me everywhere i go, i have him trained so when i whistle he'll come, and if I happpen to be taking a nap he'll follow me there and lay at the foot of the bed on the floor till I wake up, the kids love him to pieces, very patient little fella......... definitely make a wonderful pet, he's also totally housebroken !!

Geez, I sure envy all you people in the warmer climates, I went for a long run this morning out on some trails, the snow is melting like crazy and i had to deal with every time i ran a step i would sink down about 6 inches, then when I would get to what were supposed to be streams, they were like raging rivers, and when i would jump to get across them I would break through on the edge and fall in about a foot, needless to say i was totally soaked by the time i was finished my run........don't ask why I don't just run on the roads, I think I'm a sucker for punishment, naw there's just something that lures me back into running in the woods, but i sure envy you people who are already wearing shorts and tank tops, I can't wait to be running in that stuff again.......

Jardinero, HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY !! I saw this and thought of you !!! Maybe I'll see you at a finish line in the near future!!
