LDS Temples Slideshow

It's one thing to hear about all the LDS Temples that dot the earth, but to see most of them in this slideshow is breath taking and inspiring. What a tribute to the vision of our prophets and especially President Hinckley.

I Know It All

Seen on a t-shirt:

"I know it all. I just can't remember it all at once."

Cars vs. Computers

The following is not true, but is funny. Use a good source, such as snopes.com to check out things like this when you get them before you pass them on. Then, if you do pass them on, you can state whether they are true or just a joke. What follows is a joke:

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated :

'If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.'

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........ Twice a day.

2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.

3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason , you would simply accept this.

4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.

6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single 'This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation' warning light.

7. The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying.

8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.

10. You'd have to press the 'Start' button to turn the engine off .

PS - I'd like to add that when all else fails, you could call 'customer service' in some foreign country and be instructed in some foreign language how to fix your car yourself!

All Our Stuff

"The United States is the most consumer-oriented society in the world. People work longer hours than in any other industrialized country.” And they have more stuff.

“Despite fewer people per household, the size of houses continues to expand rapidly, with new construction featuring walk-in closets and three- and four-car garages to store record quantities of stuff...."

"The average adult acquires forty-eight new pieces of apparel a year...."

"Americans own more television sets than inhabitants of any other country—nearly one set per person."

How You Spend Your Day

A reader commented the following on the post How Many Hours in a Day?

"A bit off topic but interesting to play around with is the website http://www.numbercrunched.com/. Fun to see how you spend your day and how many spare hours we have left."

To my darling husband,


Before you return from your business trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick uptruck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I really didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me.


I was coming home from Wal-Mart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car. I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you my sweetheart. I am enclosing a picture for you. I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.


Your loving wife, XXX





P.S. Your girlfriend called.

Breaths in Life

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

How Many Hours in a Day?

Brigham Young said the good thing about 24 hours in a day is that there are 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for work, and 8 hours for play.

So where did he fit in his church calling?

Acronyms!

I just watched an ad on television for a furniture store.

They said, "You need to get a new LG LCD HD TV."
