    Emporia Powerbar Recipe?

    in Health, Wellness, and Fitness

    Posted

    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

    was waycorps training a total scam?

    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 !!!

    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.......

    Hi Pat, I don't know if i can word this properly as to what i want to say, although it falls under the trust issue, i find it hard to trust people to be genuine, I am very suspicious of them, I am always looking for a motive behind what they are saying, I think because in TWI there was always a hidden agenda taped on to what they said, it was always for their own gain, never to benefit the invidual. Even when people tell you "I love you" I don't even believe it anymore, it was used too much in TWI that it became a cliche that no longer carried any weight when they told you, so when people tell me that, again I question the sincerity behind it, again it's a lack of trust.

    Just my 2 cents
