FREECYCLE

Have I been living in a cave??? I cannot believe I just found out about this from my sister Annie today!

It's called freecycle...have you heard of it?

You log on and sign up, pick a city, browse and get this...

If you see something you like you get it...FREE...NO CHARGE...NADA....ZILCH!!!

Here is the description taken right from their home page...



"Welcome! The Freecycle Network™ is made up of 4,618 groups with 5,991,000 members across the globe. It's a grassroots and entirely nonprofit movement of people who are giving (& getting) stuff for free in their own towns. It's all about reuse and keeping good stuff out of landfills. Each local group is moderated by a local volunteer (them's good people). Membership is free. To sign up, find your community by entering it into the search box above or by clicking on “Browse Groups” above the search box. Have fun"!

So, I have been window shopping and saw so many things...some of the stranger items were...

feret and rat cages! (WHY)?
size 9 1/2 womens shoes (EWWW)!
rf modulators (WHAT)?
bibs (anyone heard of the DOLLAR TREE)?
Friendship Bread starter recipe (MMMM I WANT SOME)!


As you can see its anything goes on freecycle!

No money, No contracts, No finance charges, No late fees, No hassles!!!

I am going to give it a try, let me know if you do to!

My funny hubby!

My dear husband sent me this email and wrote, "This would be something you would do. LOL"! So, of course I read on...and I realized my hubby has quite the sense of humor!


One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'My dear child, why are you crying?' The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a living for their family. The Lord dipped His hand into the water and pulled up a golden thimble set with sapphires.





'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked The seamstress replied, 'No.'
The Lord again dipped into the river. He held out a golden thimble studded with rubies.




'Is this your thimble?' the Lord asked. Again, the seamstress replied, 'No.'
The Lord reached down again and came up with a leather thimble.

'Is this your thimble ?' the Lord asked. The seamstress replied, 'Yes.' The Lord was pleased with the woman's honesty and gave her all three thimbles to keep, and the seamstress went home happy.

Some years later, the seamstress was walking with her husband along the riverbank, and her husband fell into the river and disappeared under the water. When she cried out, the Lord again appeared and asked her, 'Why are you crying?' 'Oh Lord, my husband has fallen into the river!'
The Lord went down into the water and came up with George Clooney. 'Is this your husband?' the Lord asked.





'Yes,' cried the seamstress. The Lord was furious. 'You lied! That is an untruth!' The seamstress replied, 'Oh, forgive me, my Lord. It is a misunderstanding. You see, if I had said 'no' to George Clooney, you would have come up with Brad Pitt.




Then if I said 'no' to him, you would have come up with my husband. Had I then said 'yes,' you would have given me all three. Lord, I'm not in the best of health and would not be able to take care of all three husbands, so THAT'S why I said 'yes' to George Clooney.
And so the Lord let her keep him.
The moral of this story is:

Whenever a woman lies, it's for a good and honorable reason, and in the best interest of others. That's our story, and we're sticking to it.



So, you see my Danny does have a great sense of humor but surely NOT a great sense of reality! I think he is a lot sexier then Clooney and Pitt...ANYDAY!!!!!!!!! (and for all eternity)!

POLITICS! SHMOLITICS!

Ok, time to vent...how many of you are sick and tired of all the negative and hateful campaigning?

It is so amazing how the people running to "RUN" the country are worse then a bunch of 8th grade girls fighting over a boy or fighting to be in the popular clique. The backstabbing, fighting and finger pointing is...

RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!

And, all of this just to prove they are somehow right, justified or whatever else they want to be!!!

Well, I not only get it from the TV, radio and all the billboard ads, and through my email but...

I GET IT AT WORK! YES. WORK.

I am a rural carrier and I have to case all the political mailings and treat them as 1st or 2nd class mail! Meaning they go out the day they come and there are 1000's

EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CAN YOU SCREAM WITH ME NOW???

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

STOP WITH THE RIDICULOUS MAILINGS...

NO ONE READS THEM!

WE USE THEM AS COASTER FOR OUR GLASSES....

AS MAKE SHIFT DUST PANS WHEN WE SWEEP...

TO FAN OURSELVES...

AND TO AID IN PICKING UP DOGGIE MESS IN THE YARD!!!!!!!!!

I HATE ALL THE NEGATIVE POLITICS AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT!!!!!!

POLITICS! SHMOLITICS!!!!!!!!!

Hi there everyone, I saw this on my sweet friend Dolly's blog and thought, yeah right this won't work...and then I put my name in and get these results...I think this is pretty accurate for me...what do you all think? Does this sound like the Lyla you know???


What Lyla Means

You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

General Conference

I wanted to say how much I loved conference today! Unfortunately, I did not get to see any sessions from yesterday but, todays were just so wonderful! The messages were like soothing water to my parched soul! I love how the messages are so simple and easy to understand yet, they seem hard to live at times for us! I love our prophet so much and especially enjoyed his talks today! You can just feel his love! Pres. Eyering's message of hope and unity were exactly what I needed to hear! ALL the talks were awesome! Some of my favorite quotes today were...


"Be slow to take offense, and quick to forgive"

"You be the one to stand for what is right, even if you stand alone"

"Return to virtue"

"We can't afford to be superficially righteous"

"Find someone who is having a hard time and, do something for them"

"Eternal life with God is the most precious prize"

"One way to be a peacemaker is to seek for anything we agree on, find that common ground"

There were so many more but they are the ones that stick out to me!

"The Rest of the Story"

My nephew saw my cute daughter yesterday and she wanted him to tell me, **In Paul Harvey's voice** "The Rest of the Story"!

Ok, back to the sighting of the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!

Loni was able to speak to President Monson and she told him how much she loved him and then she said to my nephew, "I started to bear my testimony to him, OF him"!! She got emotional as she told him she KNEW he was truly a prophet of God. He was so dear to Loni and he gave her a hug and said thank-you and then asked for her continued prayers! Then jokingly as they were leaving he said to the sisters, please pray for me because I speak 5 times at general conference and Pres. Uchtdorf ONLY speaks 4 times! I love that he has such a great sense of humor!

Awesome story huh?!?! Just had to share with ya'll!

A Sister Nock Sighting!

Loni Anne emailed us today and, then just a few minutes after she sent it, she sent this note!!! THIS WAS TOO EXCITING NOT TO SHARE!!!!!!!!!!



"Oh my goodness! It’s my pday and guess who I just saw! I saw the first presidency! I’m checking my email and then the sisters in the Joseph smith memorial building say that they were coming! Well, we move from the computers and stand where we can see them! Well, they stopped and talked to us! President Monson asked if we were ready for conference and we all said YES! And then I said to President Uchtdorf that I enjoyed his talk! So, yes…I saw and spoke with the first presidency! Briefly. But I did it! Yeah! What an amazing! Day! I love my mission! It’s the best in the world! No really. It is! Promise! Tell alexis to hurry up and come here! She’d be great here"!



President Monson, President Eyering and President Uchtdorf!
