oh no, not new year resolutions again

this year 2010, once againn to stop yellin completely, not lose my cool when something doesn't go my way or when someone buys something i think is silly, to be a true gentleman, kind, loving anti violence, pro peace...healthly with regular cadiovascular checkups, visit the poor, sick, downtrodden, prisoner, weak person to just listen....read uplifing material,...i will eat from the 5 basic food groups..1..tomatoes....2...squash...3...peas...4...corn...5...pumkin... watch my birds as usaul, and how to be a better husband, i really don't know but at least try to do more to alleviate my wife's tremendous burden{mostly me}by doing some dishes, vacuming some floors, and disenfecting some bathrooms, try not to be a big baby when i am sick....and really try hard not to eat cherry chocolates, pazzells, fudge, cocholate mouse, i mean mououse, oh you get it....and be more consistant in my prayers and have this blog take on the look of a christian blog instead of some of the wordly stuff i have on it, i guess that means being an example ..

a truewly revelent christmas story

as a stake mission president, we had a way older fellow named bill marlow in 1990 who had never heard anyone in his sixty odd years explain away his doubts about the book of mormon..he never attended church which disappointed his three boys who were regular church goers, and one do gooder son who was a mormon bishop..on december 9, he had comepleted all missionary discussions...enter marv bateman who was a plain old stake missionary...he gave him the hugh b brown account profile of a prophet and loggigally said bill that is the only way things could be, so be sensible, he called his three sons, the font was filled and he was baptised that night on december 9, 1990 and in the spirit of the season of good will was given the gift of the holy ghost...by one of his threee sons.....the spirit of the holy ghost was there, tears were in everybody's eyes...the years i was on a stake misson we averaged two baptisms every month...we had a great spirit of the mission....tom osmond promised a boy who was on drugs that if he ever got baptised he would introduce them to donnie and marie..we did baptise a teressa brooks and all her kids came to church and i taught the the discussions to the baxter twins{pete dunnigan's half sisters} and they were both baptised in the church and as i think about it it was alos on december 9, 1990..we had a meeting with the missionaries every sunday without fail

quirks and quacks of this blAg

IT NEVER fails, everytime i post on aliens, my comments go down drastically....in order of readability, alien invasions are last, politics are second to last and religion 3rd to last,.......... 1st is my quirky life before age 10, second in readability would be travel and places i have been and third holidays like christmas plays have always been popular.... will i learn my lesson... i won't.....i wonder if i did a blog about when i was 10 years old traveling to the planet zog on christmas eve and it was not a piece of fiction, would that work???????..AND ALSO HAVE SHORT DAILY blurbs by date instead of big glomps like i have here...but you people are lazy if you can't go fish ....<<<<>>>>>well tony, your brother finally got cut from social security...he makes a whopping 1606 per month and that is way above the $879 is is allowed to make....so as health care is defeated this week in the senate, dan will be out there in la la land with his two week shot valued at *$800 or 1600 permonth,,,you know he really won't be able to work without it....i either pay it out of my pocket or he goes back to the back yard and stare at the stars again.....bitter? no just scared to death >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.................................................. this blog and all the posts on this blog have always been about actual alien activity.....let us never lose sight of that fact....rita mozelli said it best" i saw a large being in philly" "how many aliens have you seen, putz?????is it over 300??????"carl moore: " i once saw a bright light sky over the montana mountains in 1977' ....A 10,000 WATT BULB THAT LIGHTS UP ALL OF RUSH VALLEY SERVING AS AN ALIEN LANDING STRIP.....CLOVER UTAH..how will the rush vallweyers cope wit their alien population in the next new year of 2010..IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE dAN bUSHES AT st. jOHN ARE ALIENS....clover turnout... a picture has been suspected of showing the light spoken of previously and the alien landing strip with strange beings cleaning up the roads....policeing the garbage left over from alien frivoloty<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>

faces of mental illlness

how can i state the overall importance of this information without becoming trite or repetetive.remeaber we are all childs of god needing reminding

i have a pet gripe to all you cell phone users out there who are so prooud of all the multi tasking that they are noww able to do ...they stick there telephone behind their ear where you can hardly see it.....my wife was gone all day yesterday, went to provo, when she got home at eight she said where's dan, what have you done today and on the phone." becky are you their??????i said went to the best funneral of my life[ sister monsen's nine kids did an excellent job SPEAKING...SHE SAID"AT THE MALL, A STICKY NOTE PAD.......i said what????,' dan where is he???'i could tell she was talking to some one else and walked into the living room, my dinner that i fixed myself had been eaten...she said what funneral?????i said'MOTHERHOOD IS", she said wait a minute karen's talking........... i went and watched monday night football....multi tasking is rude, when you are PART OF THE THING THAT IS BEING multitasked.....i guess it is all right if you are not at all involved, BUT WHEN ONLY A SMALL PART OF THE ATTENTION is you, forget it and when you are chomped up as part of a multi task which looks like grossed out peanuts

doug stories

...FLICKER OF OBSCRUITY................................................he(doug) has invited me to dinner more often than his own son don olsen and at times i felt like don was envious of me being a favorite over him....well it is true...i attended more basketball and football games on his big screen t.v. than don did...i watched jazz games and b.y.u. football and basketball and some john wayne movies and after his cable hook up i was more of a regular than before annd it always came with a diet coke and butter pop corn....bonnie always had special treats for me....he would always fall asleep on me though in his easy chair...i would look over at him after a byu touch down and say, did you see the move of that tight end, and would get a loud snore out of him....it was always overheated in his basement from his new gas log and before his gas log with a roaring hot wood fire...my alarm would always go off with my wood fires but doug had his fire in hand

there is a place in denmark called the HAIG

NEW SECTION.......flicker of obscurity.....................................................................................................ALL the hardheaded danes came here to sanpete to farm and to obey brigham's young edict to come to the 'VALLEY' AND ESTABLISH THEm selfs and their traditions of their ancestors and the gospel kingdom after the order of the haig living....so that means they usually do things the hard way...very religious and of course interested in the grandfathers, fathers, sons, grandsons back generations and forward generations and all the females who marry into this are treated very special...they have been santa claus to all this clan and to their ordinations, baptisms, graduations, marriages, have tolerated traditions and wrapped all to their haig way of doing things....doug treated me to the greatest secret ever known to man.....the location of blue lake just south of wagon road....he swore me to secrecy that i tell no one where it is, but all my kids and their kids, and their spouses know where it is.....he also made me swear never to tell anyone where his secret christmas tree spot on the very top of skyline is...weell to be perfectcly honest, i have forgotten where that is...it is in a very weird out of the way place that takes great effort to get to and i am perfectly content to get a christmas tree at the side of an improved road

doug stories

and then there was the time we went to get wood...we went to fred flats this time over the swollen creek and to this remote place passing up all sorts of good timber....we cut it all with our chain saws...mine was working at the time...Started to load the wood, i would carefully load the cut logs into the back and Doug would say,"that is not the way you do it, Here let me show you how" and he heaved one with all his might and it hit the gaurd on the back window and bent it severly in and broke the back window going into the cab of his little truck{work truck}...when we had it loaded right to the top and put a rope around it to secure it, we then took off back to fred's flat....well you would think with a heavy load we would go slow, but not Doug...he drove like he always drove, like a bat out of hell.....well when we got to the swollen creek, he was going so fast that the strong rope securing the wood came loose and the whole load of wood went into the CREEK..i was about ready to chase the wood and load it back in, but Doug said no "you don't want that dead wet wood'....it had only just got wet and i have burnt wet wood lots wetter than that for years
in my fire place, but Doug said that wood wasn't good anymore...one of the only times i was sure a car/truck accident wasn't my boys fault was when doug ran into tony out by douG's farm and tony said it was doug's fault because he was driving too fast and not watching and i knew he was telling the truth

a very very long blog

do you have the patience to read the whole thing...bring a drink and a snack with you.....There were times when i should have turned down some of Doug's invitations to go off somewhere in his TRUCK...i loved to see the herds of deer...they are a wonderful sight, but doug wanted to go after them every night with binoculars..i didn't need to see them four nights out of the week...he would sit on his back porch and look up to horse shoe with his telescope looking for deer, elk, mountain lions and bears...he would explain how this area and no other was God's own personnal country....i explained how the earth was much darker and loomier, and richer, other places back east, but he would say nonsense...there is no better land than in sanpete...other times when i should have turned doug down for a ride were when he would see how far up the canyon he could get in his truck....well it is a work truck and he didn't care how much he trashed it...so he would see the snow bank blocking the road around the place where Daniel wants to buy a cabin and he would plow into it grinding his way through his gears plowing into the snow to see where his truck could go no more and then put it into reverse and actually expected to go back down the hill...well he always got stuck...always, no doubt....we would dig and sink deeper...he would screw his little truck facing east and then north and then south and even sometimes west but he was always still stuck....digging and then reving his rpm's to a high spinning and spinning....finally when we had shoveled all the snow all the way back to Ephraim...we could then moveback down the hill.....other times when i should have turned doug down for a ride was on a trip up to the skyline to philly hill...he had me and the boys in the back...i think tony was up in the passenger seat and in his two wheeled rig he went straight up off the road to the top avoiding the more improved winding way, but straight upwith us all falling out of the backover the just barely secured back tailgate

sunday, oct 18, 2009..another perfect day

i have decided to add body to this statement..red skies at night, 74 degree weather ,red skies in the morning better than all the summer heat...no wind, clear blue skies, sleepy country town, no loud lawn mowers, grass dormant finally[we have even been told to stop watering}and being at least 67 years old no one bothers you because you have once again gone past intellegence and arrived once again at dotering ground zero knowledge in the mind of others...wandering through dedicated graves in the cemetary warding off confusion, crap ect....i don't even have to go to the mountains, down in this peaceful verdant valley of ephraim, i can get it done in my mind...tonight i go hometeaching to glendia, scows, and bradleys and teach of the savior's goodness and have them teach me back....saw neil peterson with my boy today

pure history for my temple work

this little piece is also for loren christie[a very good historian}i do not know who benjamin bunny barlow[BBB] was married too, but we do know the year he was married, 1752...he had a son through this marriage, jonathan, john was jonathan's son and ben's grandson who subsequently had wlm joseph barlow...both john and joseph were born in salford england, john a barley farmer and joseph a baker who had james a cabby[NOT A NEW YORK CABBY, BUT A HORSE DRAWN WAGON} who had my grandfather , ernest who came to america in 1909 on the boat erie at age 19..james died at the early age of 33....married sarha dalton who was snatched from her mother's arms by her father from the boat monarch of the sea, hannah brown dalton was emigrating on in 1863....following all this loren?????????the dalton's had a silk business in salford....all these people by the way have been sealed to me by me in our temple ....it has been a fifteen year work of love...charlotte kirk on my maternal side married james martin, came across the plains in 1849 leading a blind woman named lizzie burrel at the age of sixteen..she said she was always tired, cold and hungry..pierre droubay's daughter elise , my french connection started a polygamous family with joseph silver{aren't you jealous, loren???????}i don't have a book of poems by anyone but i have work records, journal records, and and

paul edward fore

our wonderful husband father and dearest friend paul edward fore passed away at home on october 14, 2009 after a valient battle with cancer...he was true to his family, friends and the lord to the very end. he was born to Clyde and Barbara
Giesz Fore on March 7, 1952 in Elgin Illinois..when he was 15 years old he was converted and baptised into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints...as a young man he enjoyed scouting, working at radio stations, chemistry and church plays...He served an honorable mission to Mexico in 1971.....he took on emt course to help him with possible scouting emergencies...he was a college chemistry teacher at snow college.......a patient man with a good sense of humor{which meme david especially liked about him...once on a camping trip i caught him brushing his teeth in _15 degree weather at 5am in the morning, so i shouted to the rest of the scouts....rise and shine, we are burning daylight...he never let me forget that and in the future would say....let's get busy, we are burning daylight} ...funeral services will be held monday october 19, 2009 at 11 am at the ephraim lds stake center...i personally loved paul, for he saved my life once along with my boy daniel barlow when i was having a heart attack and once when i was in a diabetic coma {separate events, of course}

stronger

my sister has always been stronger than me...in arm wrestling she could beat me, my mom, sharon tate and b anderson....she had her friend sharon tate over to play basketball and they were both stronger than me...one would run defense which means run me to the side of the court while the other one would run into make the shot...i was pretty shook up after most athletic competions of any kind...as i said in wrestling i never won...to demonstrate the intensity that Diane lived her life, once when she was certain she wanted to get into the house and i had all the doors locked to keep her out, she came to the back door where i proceeded to taunt her...we all had certain chores that were ours to do alone because both of our parents were working at the tooele army depot and we were home an hour before they were....well diane was mad and so she reached out for my neck...i was on the inside peering at her on the outside through a partition of glass in the door...her arm came at me through the glass reaching for my neck so she could strangle me.....what power to shatter a pane of glass....well needless to say she got inside where she was able to complete her chores

DIFFERENCES

loren christie wanted to know the differences in mormonism and catholicism...i have been so excited just recently because my church has a new family search which enabled me to acquire some information on my cousin thomas stonebreaker...well everyone knows about mormon temples, right?????Wrong..[NOW I CAN TELL YOU SOME SECRETS}...i got a encoded printout WITH a barcode number which our temple needs from my computer{so easy} on a thomas s. stonbreaker born 12 jul 1944, yes my very cousin....who is he?? he worked for the Utah Jazz...my aunt jean and my mom raised 3 boys and one girl in the same exact years..we used to spend 9 hours in a day hourafter hour and day after every day of our life playin in his fron't street with carly frampton, billy anderson and my other cousin m stonebreaker}...JEAN sTONBREAKER AND jOSPEHINe bA RLOW were th moms......WELL TOMMY IN 1993 WAS ON THE PHONE WITH HIS DAUGHTER JULIE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HAD A CARDIAC ARREST....I KNOW ALL THIS IS TOO PERSONAL AND I SHOULD BE CALLING TOMMY [v], AND jean i, and my mom h{i wonder if this blog will embarass her?????}but now i can go to the temple, reserve a sealing room and take the encoded printout and endow him by proxy with priestly robes in the Manti temple[of course the actual tom will not be there, but me me david} with the chance for him to be a God in the next world....Catholics can't do that LOren...i can also seal him to his mom and dad and seal jeannie to her husband howard or{ l }if you rather call him that

hans{PUNCTURED LUNG...BLOWN UP DOG

i received 74 comments on my political views, and only 2 or three on my religious views and i know i shouldn't post on either area....i can't even get my readers to understand my religious jokes and my boy's IRE is up on my political views....i have to ignore posts on my whole family....you know embarassment.....so my uniqueness on my far past seems to be the most entertaining and readable...once again this was in the early 50's(59 years ago).....david had a dog named HANS[not hands}....they could not be separated...one day the dog got hit by a car, david was relieved that the dog was ok BUT not really, later in the month the dog started to blow up like a balloon....air got between two layers of skin...when you would pat the dog, you could move air under the skin from one part of his body to the next, from one end of the dog to the other...he must have had a punctured lung to cause air to collect between the layers of his skin...i created a CIRCUS act for the neighborhood kids, but hans eventually died from this which left david heartbroken

i am on a roll

book of mormon...the coming forth of the book of mormon by divine power is a new witness for christ in america.....for this reason it becomes america's most important book but SURELY NOT, the most important book....the christian bible has long been the world's most important book...it has lifted men from barbarism in the realm of spiritual living...it has given a basis for peace and good will through the revelation of the mortal life and glorious resserection of the son of god...the book of mormon has withstood a century of attemps to prove it is man made...despite fierce and unending assaults it continues to challenge the attention and scrutiny of the world....if you will read it with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in christ, god the eternal father will manefest the truth of it unto you by the power of the holy ghost

hard scrabble mormon theology

below i have given some ideas, now some hard scrabble mormon theology....as man now is, God once was, as God now is man may become....God the Father,

Elohim has a body of flesh and bones and from this we surmise ...........1..........godhead, three separate beings.........2 we can be god's of worlds.........3 gods were resurrected..........4.....glories are ours as well as rewards..........5. atonement is real.............6. we look like god................7. god looks like us.................8. families are forever...............9........non one is a putz...............10 application applies to everyone even the putz

some spiritual insights philosophy/provide

he that provides not for his own is worst than an infidel including emotional, scriptural, social, secular, security[the four S'S of some spiritual spector}, educational pursuits..my most serious phase and trial of life i either married or gave birth to...soloman the wise said all is vanity, most of the food we eat defiles the body{ just eat broth and wheat for only pennies a day}, most of the clothing we wear is ill fitting{homespun ghandi loin clothes should be prefered}most housing is too warm or too cold{set furnace to 50 degrees}most transportation is unnecessary[USE A BIKE AND STAY HOME}most of our health concerns just take common sense[ ELIMINATING THE NEED FOR DOCTORS AND DENTISTS...THE MIND and the spirit is the only thing that is not vain...we will take that with us when we go from the earth...fear god and in love keep all his commandments, laws and ordinances and good advice and all else is vanity...seek wisdom instead of the fluff of the world....your caring will wrought miracles and remember when we fear men we are the most vain

SAILOR SUIT

i always wore my sailor suit when i was three years old on to about 6 years old..... when i went to a primary or pre school up past where my cousins tommy and mikey stonebreaker lived, and i wore that sailor's suit where the activity was to make a big white wood duck with an orange eye,it was painted white and all the edges had been sanded by me....it had been sanded very carefully by just me...the primary teacher did arts and crafts every thursday at 3 in the afternoon with me mikey stonebreaker, tommy stonebreaker, billy anderson, and carly framption whose father was killed in a mining accident...i remember the most important part of the event,1. getting stares at my sailor suit and 2. actually putting the orange eye on the white duck....i think i made it to be a lawn decoration, but i never remember my mom putting it out on the lawn...she might have been keeping it safe inside because her cute and darling little sailor boy made it for her....go figure..i never wanted to wear it but she said it would make my navy dad proud...she was one of the girls i mentioned before that was always kissing me all the time, me scrawled all up, winching....bob wit aren't you ever going to correct me on that spelling of winching...have been patienly waiting?

great fire of 1949

i ignored my sister pretty much[she was two ears younger than me], but i latched on to this kid 2 houses down on sixth street...his name was gary[EVIL ONE] chard...we ended up wit a lot of charred wood....we were always playing with matches...i was onlt seven years old butnevertheless was responsible for the great fire of 1949 even though gary{the evil one] chard actually set the fire ....regarding m taylor's fence, we burnt it completely down and we had to put up with all the tooele firemen asking all these questions, all i could do was cry but garay the evil had this big smile on his face somewhat like my boy daniel's big wide smile....well in the end i pretty much got pretty well known as the hero in only mrs. taylor's eyes and gary was the devil hisself, but only in mrs. taylor's eyes, but that was ok because it was her FENCE.....dorothy serle was my tap dancing teacher and i took that class wit gary {theDEVIL] chard...he would kiss all the girls and then run, but i was too shy and winched whenever a girl kissed me

dad

he lived in a 1 room shack with a washtub in one corner, where four boys would get a scrub once a week, a coal stove in another corner for cooking and heating in the cold utar winters, and the bed for four boys and a dad in the middle....he was rasied without benefit of a mother and his sister who had polio who lived with her aunt mary logy....they took their washing up every friday night pulling a red wagon for one and a half blocks...aunt mary had a house next to the local movie house{she was known by everyone as MOLLY].... my dad worked cleaning the local movie house for a nickel and free movies, which was the only money he ever got and he usually spent the nickel on a candy bar, so you see the movie house got all their money back from him....i wanted to be a leader for him, because i thought he deserved better, and my leadership would get it for him, so i earned my eagle, silver beaver, went on an lds church mission, .....but when god choze his valient ones in the pre existance to be his leaders, i was obvoiously not chozen because my leadership turned out to be followership not ever becomming a high councilman, bishop, supervisor, town leader etc etc etc

typist

jim i was a company clerk typist at fort ord in the armay with my national guard unit....after 8 weeks of arduous training, crawling under barbed wire with machine gun fire going over my head, and doing kp on my birthday because i had such a loverly top seargent, i typed orders for all 23 of my grunts to viet nam, and i i know the army had intentions of them going to the fron't because on the order i typed in place of destination, combat front....it killed me everytime i typed the name and combat front...i did not type that for me....i did type up my own orders which said as destination hdq combat engineer howitzer battery tooele utah, back to my unit....i just know some of those gruntsaaaaaaaaaaaa[ a grunt is a very close friend and comrad who you treat like a brother, and you are treated back like a brother} were in combat medina, which had a mortality rate of 75%...i am almost a pacifist now when it comes to these latest wars...god bless to my friends, because you do become friends when you eat, sleep, play, work and train with men for 16 weeks, 8 training and 8 advanced training...and to those like tubby curtis and john austin who did come home and start a family and raise kids, god bless to you too

post 425 my testimony

i had kind of wanted to leave a testimony....if the prophet moses were here today, he would have many people listening to him because he would be using actual words of instruction by speaking for God through the prophet literally...when hugh b brown{ a jr barristor for english law} came up to the english courts, in the middle of world war II, he was asked why he believed in a modern day prophet and joseph smith!!!!!the barrister in charge said" God stopped speaking directly to prophets just after the cruxification of Christ.....HUgh B Brown said,"but why???? "the barrister said, i really don't know"......Maybe i could answer the for you said hugh b brown>>>>(1) maybe he doesn't love us anymore or not as much as he used to???like in moses day with a burning bush and everything>>first of all do you believe that throught all time it has been commonplace for God to speak to the world through prophets????first through adam and on down in every period of time except for the dark ages, yes said the barrister ,' HE HAS ALWAYS SPOKEN THROUGH PROPHETS in all ages and so he can't have stopped loving us...
>>the barrister said"...".i am sure that God is no respector of persons and loves all his children the same...(2) then maybe we don't need him any more, we have made such technilogical advances, we are so evolved????The barrister said"no" we are in the middle of world war II and as cruel as any people who have ever lived..".then it must be that (3)
he has lost his power to speak to us", said hugh b brown, "he can't speak to us"....".that is preposterous said the barrister"..."God is all power ful" that can't be the reason, with a tear in his eye the barrister said" do you know why God doesn't speak to us through living prophets?"hugh b brown said humbly" the answer is that he still does teach us through living prophets, he did through joseph smith, and he does through thomas s monson in SALT LAKE CITY..we really do believe that...i listen to modern day prophets all the time and they are getting us prepared for a personal interview with our savior Jesus Christ, the modern day information they gave us at conferance time and through the day is critical listen to everyword and not miss a thing...i say this in the name of jesus christ, amen

a miracle pageant

i know i have put the first half of this on my blog about a year ago, but here goes the second half....i wish i had pictures but due to oldsheimer's syndrome i have forgotten how to put them into the computer so everybody VISUALIZE please....my children have been angel, pioneer, martin harris, lamanite dancer, oliver cowdry, nephite warrior, camp scene singer, ...i personnally had a unique couple of years where i helped to move a ramp where the ressurected mary and john would walk from the grass where mary died and john earlier was killed by a lamanite arrow and they would walk over the road in the air to the temple walkway to heaven where they would be greeting by angels{my daughter's being among them} and all would sing as jon and mary would walk on the invisable ramp and all the angles{yes i said angels not angels{ would sing by the side of the invisable ramp...this was hard for only two of us to move and i often thought that if the ramp didn't get moved quickley enough the final scene of the pageant would be ruined and we wouldn't have tiery eyed people coming to us after the play wanting to be baptised immediaely because they were so overwhelmed...we seemed to get it moved in time but it was heavy....thank goodness rich was big...now it is all computerized ....even the fire scene which me and rich lit by a bunsen burner from a flame thrower has been replaced as the lamanite pagen worshiping scene.....the missionary booths was a job that took weeks because no instructions were sent by the last people to use them at the hill cumorah pageant in new yourk city....i am sure they had instructions when they set them up...we spent hours just look at the box wondering how they went together until we finally had them pictured in our minds...after five years of doing it i think i had them pictured pretty well...when karma lee and i were ushers at the gates i would take all the pretty girls palms of their hands and stamp them with an invisable ink stamp for admitance to the park, and to let them back in after they had put down thier blankets for the FREE play but the mark was my own imagination, just an excuse to hold all the girl's hands...if i had ever been caught that would have been the end of my ushering carreer..i can't find the first half OF THIS BLOG..

my mom had the same angina problem as i had...we ate veal parmision in luxenbourg...we went sking in engelborg, switzerland...i ended up as a beginner skiier on an advanced slope and in four different languages, french, german spanish, and italian was told to get off the l=skopes before i killed myself....i assure you being there was a big mistake...i missed several trees and kept going faster and faster and how i stopped, i can never remember....we had a hot roll and chocolate for breakfast in this hostel...we saw mount titless which was named for two large indentations below the top of the mountain that looked like a womean's head...we went around interlaken and viewed the most beautiful mountains in the world, the swiss alps.... we went to bern and i bought myself a watch which i have since
lost but of course i purchased my traditional patch at every place i stopand my spoon....we went to the atonium in brussels which was the site of the 1959 world's fair and hiked up into the first of eight atoms measuring eight feet by eight feet by eight feet....we had missed the fair by two years and i felt like chevy chase standing in front of walley's world demanding to be let in....we always had the habit of zoo hopping so we stopped on our way back from lds conferance in frankfurt germany...it was fun to walk over all the cobblestones and see all the cathederals in every small towns with their bell towers, and tapestries...i once saw a crane nestled up inside a smokestack of an ancient cathederal

order of heaven..council of the eggs

now relax lucy, this really...it is very poetic license and isn't against church doctrine, really it is for fletch my brand new commentator...i do believe god is a man and i do believe that men have the priesthood but i also believe that the creative process that the women have is just as god like....so here goes{ all speculative of course} council of the 12 eggs..that council unlocks the priesthood keys for the men to operate on...women are the head of the creation department{queen bee] MEN ARE THE HEAD OF OPERATIONS OF ALL THINGS DEPARTMENT[worker bee] ...PRIESTHOOD....ALL BISHOPRICS HIGH COUNCILS OPERATE BECAUSE THE WOMEN LET THE MEN OUT for the work....the women do need the men but a dormant sperm bank would do just as well to get the creative processes started in the egg in the womb of the woman where all the important work is done creating....of course eternal increase is the most important work of the celestial kindom{ we have been told that in the church that families are eternal] ....that part the female cannot entirely delegate, all the rest she can delegate...operations....we will be exalted to the worker bee and she will be exaluted to council of eggs[ godesses creators keys to delegate to husbands} of course both of us together...mary mother of jesus and eve our 1st mother were too holy to talk about, but jesus and jesus doctrine were common to man as breakfast in the morning..well fletch please comment and any of you others that dare...women rule and men drool...thanks to loren for encouraging me to reach out to my commentators

Usss Patch boat

high seas,as usual traveling on military transport but the food on this boat was as good as you would get on any luxery liner,,most people skipped meals because of the hurricanes and the rocking of the boat and thick sea air so that left scabs and scabs of food to those hardy souls that were left above board and not relegated to their bunks in the cabins below, sick from all the rocking....people like josephine and diane{mother and sister]...i ate crab, lobster, shrimp, cakes, pies, curried rice, roast beast, steak , chocolate eclairs, milkshakes...in fact chocolate of all shapes sizes, and consistantcy....creams drops, eclaires, mints, candies of all varities off the chef's dinner at the captains table....i was at the captain's table because all the royality was sick and only the little scab boy was available...we landed at new york, saw the statute of liberty from our ship and drove a gutless comet chrysler car on the not free ways, but toll ways stopping to eat at howard johnsons all the way home because we would have to pay the toll again if we got off and wanted to get back on.hey EVERYBODY, THIS BOAT THING IS A LIE, DON'T EVER ENCOURAGE PICS FROM PUTZ

book review

when doug olsen was building his house next to us he said that one of our brown chickens we owned and let run around the yard, layed an egg in his shower stall and he brought it over to karma lee...i don't remember that but i do remember some bummer lambs that we tried to keep outside but when it got cold we brought them out from the cold onto our cold basement floor where they died...i also remember robert young giving me a tankful of fish to take care of including a man of war fish and one day in trying to treat the water with chemicals , i gave them the wrong porportion and the water turned blackis brakish green and they all died too. i remember keeping a bird that died...i rememember i built a maze for a gerbil but it got out from the top and made a home in our dishwasher, we found it and brought it back to the elementarty school where it died....while we had it, we loved it very much and it appreciated the places it could go in our maze....in fact we loved all of our pets very much and this last dog we have who has cancer, congenitile heart disease, eye problems, smells, is over weight, has ear infections and pnemonia...her name is sandy and she has never been house broken, even when karma lee and becky tell her to "go quick' FIFTY MILLION TIMES...WE ARE NOT SURE IF SHE IS STUPID OR SMART HAVING FIGURED OUT HOW TO LIVE WITH US and still do exactly what she wants, but we wouldn't part with her for any amount of money and we will be devistated when she dies, especially the putz....sandy sleeps with several member's of the family and has her own couch and needs a pillow on when she sleeps

snow antics and front yard decorations

the community has always been grateful for the barlow front yard antics...one year with tony's help we loaded up four giant balls that were each four feet high and it was a good sixteen feet into the air up above our house, wiring and tv wiring, and he had to do it with ladders...giant rocks for it's eyes, buttens , nose and mouth...it was the last snow in town to disappear that year...and then one year josh and i built a snowman in the middle of our driveway with a giant stop sign in his hand and a hat in the other preventing anyone from going anywhere up the driveway,, daniel finnally plowed into it with his car and it melted quickley then, but for days karma and becky had to park elsewhere so as to not disturb the snowman....bad water leak in walls and gas furnace venting explosive or was it a non battery operated razor...after searching the walls the culpret was discovered....a razor in the bottom of daniel's recently built cabinets, the sound going through the walls of the basement and sounding like rushing water...how could a razor exsist that was not electric have a feature of movement to it?? it was a regular razor moving on it's own up and down banging on the bottom of the drawer all on it's own?need a physazist...we had turned off all the water as well as the furnace for days before the problem was asertained....the putz is green, honest, brave and true awaiting your comments kind and pleantiful

this is for justmylife and my very first mememe on my 400th bog

i honestly don't know how to put pictures on my blog, daniel my boy does that for me, but the meme doese not ask for a picture of the picture only an explanation of the picture and you are right i CAN DO THAT...so her e goes.....rome, plazza di spagna....now here is the story...my wife's brother frome her dad desimone but not from her mom, whose name is also desimone went to rome and the picture in the far front is a fountain and little boys peeing into the fountain made of stone{the boys not the pee}very bleak, as you move up the picture lialac in all their profusedity climb up the plaza as well as steps toward the arch, a telephone kiosk is if you can believe it in the middle of the steps{about 300 of them] on either side of these steps are office or apartment buildings in that old world orange tint brixck,,,then the arch de spain, i guesss you would call it, it isn't the arc de triumph....clock in the tower big palm tree to the right and a view of the city roma through the entrance of the paris like arch...more apartment buildings to the side, this city is plumb full when just the arc would do, no they have congested buildings taking up all the available space,, i am sure so that everyone can look down on the arch from their window and say they have a very posh place in the middle of rome....alll this for bragging purposes...oh and their are bridges just below the arch going to fro between the vegitation...tip toe through the tulips...all this for you justmylife{you are the only one i would do this for} i wish i could put the picture in the blog for you but maybe the purpose of the meme is to not have the picture

a very short note on the morrocan

this story was from 1980 when the putz was assisting dan nance in regional camp outs...there were posters hung up all over the camp with pictures of david holding a knife near his cheek and dressed in stark dark clothing with an old fashion scout brimed hat covering his eyes and his criminal smile squinting a sinister smirk...it would be hard to identify this man by the way the poster portrayed him, on the poster was printed,,,just seen at this location and REWARD, WANTED FOR ROBBERY AT THE LAST NATIONAL BANK..A Desperado wanted for many crimes,,,name..slim 'slick' mcevil...."''reward for information of whereabouts...i was turned in by a little eleven year old kid and his reward was a Jumbo Baby Ruth...i got nothin as i stood there drooling over his candy bar,,,i as a varsity scoutmaster took several of these same boys to a camp at blue lake where very igenious activities were developed for the boys...we had a service project where we completely repaired a road leading to blue lake, we had two reasons to do this; 1...we got stuck getting up to our camp and i didn't want to be stuck going home from camp and 2,,, we wanted to serve other campers who might use this same road...we had a scavenger hunt that was timed which covered two mountains, the lake, the camp, and the cliffs...these were the key words to the adventure....jump swing,,,ouch....rock and roll..monument...relieved place...a place you prefer not...it is a clear winner..spectacular frisbee toss...missed service project...fallen mast....main fire...the boys spent hours on this hunt and gave me time to cook an elaborate dinner of beans....often we had canoe races with pelts being handed off to a scouct in a canoe and they would race these pelts to the other side of the lake...we had a blackpowder shoot where our homemade shot of powder would be hammered down the rifle barrel and shot at rotten turkey eggs....if a person missed the tarket then that person would have to suck the rotten eggfrom the turkey shell...we had order of the arrow dances with the monsen boy doing the dances and doug to cook us a dutch oven dinner

WEED CZAR....1993

THE putz was chosen as 'THE DAMN WEED GUY' in ephraim....he wore a round badge that said damn weed guy, 1993..he went around with a ruler and measured the weeds in peoples yards, and got paid to do it also...if a weed was more than 12 inches long he was supposed to write a letter to them from the weed committee to take care of the problem...megan bateman was to be his assistant and help him administer the cities weed program...most people just ignorned him and when he walked down the street would say ....here comes the damned weed guy, look there he is...most people ignorned the letter they got also.....and so david the putz decided just to not send them letters....barry baker[ city counsilman] wanted a zion's community where everything would be perfect....a model city ready for when the savior came so he AND THE CITZEN'S OF EPHRAIM could be proud...the problem with this idea or concept is that the weeds grow back like a vegengce every year and the savior won't be coming for MANY years and all the citizenS realize that fact....there is a lesson that future generations could learn from this modern parable....i just don't want to tell you, cause i got so sick of the program that i could spit....so barry baker if you are reading this somewhere living in ephraim...nuts to you....p.s. i found one weed four and a half feet long in someone's yard

FIRE OF THE COVENANT..as i see it our story

this story has NEVER generally been told, buried in barlow archives for generations..so it is kind of barlow's work and the glory and it makes a nice true story...william smith, hannah hibbert's brother in law was known to his mother, bill, as a very serious boy living on the outskirts of manchester, a bustling industrial complex of glass blowing and iron works{waterford chyrstal from that area} but his life took a more sedate, rural salford countryside aura taking care of the barley fields pruning and weeding.... she showered her beliefs on young william jr. so when the mormon missionaries arrived in 1840 these two were very ready for the gospel truths and thrilled...bill preceded to be taught by orson pratt. an apostle to joseph smith, his self in salford... and william's mother mary ebiert smith, 1797, wife of william smith sr. was a spiritual woman which was very bad for her since her husband fought hard against her religious tendencies..she showered her beliefs on young william jr., so when the morman missionaries arrived in 1840 these two were very ready for the gospel truths and thrilled..she preceded the arrival of pratt and jonson by 43 years with her testimony and had almost been ready for conversion since her birth...elder pratt the senior was 33 years old and heard the truths directly from the prophet and was intellecually on fire with the principals of the restoration..he was born in 1807, 2 years after the prophet's birth...so young william was ready and prepared to be baptised and start the stone rolling forward for all including barlow the putz...in 1840 at the age of 26 william became one of the first to hear and enthusiastically bring the gospel to the entire hibbert family and eventually to the daltons and lastly to the barlows through marriage.......thank you
