Hurray, huzzah, HOOray--for all the recipes, but most immediately for the Nusskuchen and that heavenly goodness tart torte.

"so the words of the general authorities and prophets are not canon?" Are you trying to trip me up here? What is it that you want, exactly? Do you pretend to understand why the current pamphlet is worded as it is? Do you think I am obligated to accept your speculation as gospel? Do you rea...

The fact that I am going offline now means that I have to go to work.

"So do you believe that now that R-rated movies are not listed specifically in the For the Strength of Youth pamphlet, it's because the brethren would have you believe that they're now ok?" Is this a real question, or a rhetorical device? The brethren would not be issuing a proclamation ab...

Ian asked: aunt betsy, are you saying that we were at one time commanded not to watch r-rated movies, but due to the most recent publication of for the strength of youth (which does not specifically say "r-rated movies"), the old commandment has been rescinded? i'm not trying to be harsh o...

Ian said: i don't think this is about individual feelings, or about the Spirit saying one thing to me, and another thing to you. it's about understanding the Lord's will (and then doing it). Here's a real experience for you. Several times when my children were small my intuition (a gift of the spiri...

@ Steve: I think it’s my fault that two separate issues have become conflated: first, whether or not the Spirit might direct a person to watch a particular movie; and second, what one way of framing the commandment not to watch degrading movies might mean. It’s also likely that I’ve inadvertently mi...

Hi Steve, and (referring to an earlier post of yours to which I haven't had time to respond) yes of course I am happy and pleased to be called Aunt Betsy by you; I feel that I am your aunt and hope you feel that way too. Alex said, "It is not always simple to adjudge how to follow the brethren ...

John said, "If there is an abundance of fresh, living mountainstream water all around us, why would we need to go to all the bother and vexation of attempting to desalinate and purify the other stuff of questionable value?" There’s no such thing as a perfect analogy, and one of the places ...

@ Ian What I was trying to say is that there are a lot of assumptions in this thread about what is implied by one’s attitude or opinion, so (surprisingly, to me) many that I felt I couldn’t keep up. A mere couple of examples: If you don’t agree with [a particular] definition of R-rated, you are unwi...

"Actually we have a whole section on soups under recipes." Ah ha ha--I hoped someone would mention that. "i know Betsy that we have disagreed on this subject for a long time." It's true, Tuly, we have, and generally respectfully. I appreciate this direct way of putting it so much...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN ! ! !

Do you like any of these? They who educate children well, are more to be honored than they who produce them; for these only gave them life, those the art of living well. Aristotle All who have meditated on the art of governing mankind have been convinced that the fate of empires depends on the educa...

Oh now your Dad's stuffing is just as good as mine. Mom & Dad (I guess that's Grandma and Grandpa to the most of you) were committed to making it right, hence the cubing and toasting (or air-drying, if they cubed the bread soon enough), but that was in the day's before good commercial bread cube...

Amen to all these. The other morning I made the mistake of running A Man for All Seasons (probably my most-valued movie) while I was working at the library (it's our policy to keep a movie running). This is the (temporary) Mall Branch, not very busy, but about the time it got to the Richard Rich &qu...
