My awesome piece of technological advice was totally poo poohed away!

Okay not really, but I was dealing with a technological master and I guess my amazing knowledge just may not rock your world. But here it goes....

Did you know that we put men on the moon but we somehow still think DVD's with smooth scratchable surfaces are a great idea? Go figure.

But I learned from TV a few years ago that if you rub them while dry with tooth PASTE (not gel) and then wash them off then they will work. I was so excited about that and I have done it for years!!!!! Although it only lasts a few plays.

Yesterday I learned from the all knowing technological guru (I am not being sarcastic here) that you can actually take them in to certain DVD stores and pay $2 bucks to have all the scratched buffed off. For good. Isn't that exciting?

And the most interesting thin is this:

When you set your DVD up side down to keep if from getting scratched you are actually worrying about the wrong side! The DVD goes clear through to the top of the DVD so you can buff layers of the DVD away and it will still work. But if you scratch one layer of the top going down it will be ruined for good. Amazing huh!

Today we went to go see Toy Story 3. The end made me cry so bad I almost made a noise. It was very cute although Bo was scared and wanted to leave.

Tonight Corey gets home from his 10th day of being gone bow hunting. Did I mention I have 6 children? I may have no reason to appreciate him tomorrow.

Rhett had to make waffles to pass off one of his cub scout goals... He was very happy about it.

Don't cha just love it! Fresh out of the bath!

I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails.I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp.I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children.I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden.I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder.I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." — Marjorie Pay Hinckley

When the real history of mankind is fully disclosed, will it feature the echoes of gunfire or the shaping sound of lullabies? The great armistices made by military men or the peacemaking of women in homes and in neighborhoods? Will what happened in cradles and kitchens prove to be more controlling than what happened in congresses? When the surf of the centuries has made the great pyramids so much sand, the everlasting family will be standing, because it is a celestial institution, formed outside telestial time. The women of God know this. --Neal A. Maxwell

I know it is long but it is life altering!

C.S. Lewis- Meanwhile the cross comes before the crown and tomorrow is a Monday morning...It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you say it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. But it is immortals who we joke with, work with, marry, snub and exploit - immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of the kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have from the outset, taken each other seriously - no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption, and our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner - no mere tolerance, or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbor is the holiest object presented to your senses."

"Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are course; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fotune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity." Margaret D. Naduald

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. -Nelson Mandela-
