I am working on my genealogy, and I found a good genealogy website that happens to be owned by members of LDS. I typed in my great grandfather's name, and found some records pertaining to him. It had a note that the information had been submitted by a Mormon.
Now, my question is, why would a Mormon be interested in my great grandfather? None of his descendants are Mormons.

I do. I had drifted in and out of some other sections and thought this would be really bring with questions like : What brand washing powder do you use? or stuff like that...what i found made me stay a wee while longer. Do you remember the time before all the violations & trolls? Will we ever have that again?

When he gets there the price has been reduced to £25. So as to keep things tidy he gives the three managers £1 each back and pockets the £2 left over.
The three managers have now laid out £9 each = £ 27 and the gofer has £2 making £29 altogether laid out.
What happened to the £1 from the original £30?
A conundrum for those who have not heard it.

It stated that a muslim man had said the word divorce three times in his sleep and that that constitutes a legal divorce.
Is that true? There has to be more to it than that? Or was the article crap?

Do you argue that life needs pointing in the right direction by an intelligent entity? And if so, are you content with the fact that in that case the intelligent entity made a helluva lot of mistakes in guiding life?

I have read the answers to the previous questions on absolute zero but is there an opposite - Absolute maximum. Ok I know that it in theory its infinate but the total amount of matter and energy in the universe converted to heat must be the limiting factor. What is it?

Mother in Law and the Lion ***

A big-game hunter went on safari with his wife and mother-in-law. One evening, while still deep in the jungle, the Mrs awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her mother.

The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood facing her.

The wife cried, "What are we going to do?"

"Nothing," said the hunter husband. "The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."

Went for a Dive ***

The weather was very hot and this man wanted desperately to take a dive in a nearby lake. He didn't bring his swimming outfit, but who cared? He was all alone. So he undressed and got into the water.

After some delightful minutes of cool swimming, a pair of old ladies walked onto the shore in his direction. He panicked, got out of the water and grabbed a bucket lying in the sand nearby. He held the bucket in front of his private parts and sighed with relief.

The ladies got nearby and looked at him. He felt awkward and wanted to move. Then one of the ladies said: 'You know , I have a special gift, I can read minds.'

'Impossible,' said the embarrassed man, 'You really know what I think?'

'Yes', the lady replied, 'Right now, I bet you think that the bucket you're holding has a bottom.'

If Jesus told his stories in the form of parables, what makes anyone think that the entire Bible isn't a parable in itself that teaches values that are thought to be good and just?

Up until now I have been watching this story from a distance and trying not to form judgments about the people involved (except the mob of stalkers who appear OBSSESED by this case and Gerry)

But I am curious about peoples 'honest' views on Gerry McCann’s statement to ABC. I have no evidence to suggest he is lying so I accept it at face value. Is what he is saying happened really unreasonable? Do we all not make these kinds of judgment calls daily?


"Appearing and speaking on ABC's Good Morning America, the heart specialist said: "We were dining 50 yards away and we could see the apartment from where we were. It's like we were sat in our back garden, all be it at the end of our garden. The kids were sound asleep and they were being checked regularly. We didn't think we needed a babysitter. We are good parents and what we did felt perfectly reasonable at the time.

Hindsight is an incredible thing. Clearly we couldn't have predicted what was to happen."

Dear Son,

I'm writing this letter slow because I know you can't read fast. We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the Newspaper that most accidents happen within 20 miles from your home, So we moved. I won't be able to send you the address because the last Arkansas family that lived here took the house numbers when they Moved so that they would not have to change their address.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine. I'm not sure It works so well though. Last week I put a load in and pulled the chain And haven't seen them since.

The weather isn't bad here. It only rained twice last week; the first time For three days and the second time for four days. About the coat you wanted me to send you, your Uncle Stanley said it Would be to heavy to send in the mail with the buttons on, so we cut Them off and put them in the pockets.

John locked his keys in the car yesterday. We were really worried Because it took him two hours to get me and your father out.

Your sister had a baby this morning; but I haven't found out what it Is yet so I don't know if you're an aunt or an uncle. The baby looks Just like your brother….

Uncle Ted fell in a whiskey vat last week. Some men tried to pull Him out, but he fought them off playfully and drowned. We had him Cremated and he burned for three days.

Three of your friends went off a bridge in a pick-up truck. Ralph was driving. He rolled down the window and swam to safety your other two friends were in the back. They drowned because They couldn't get the tailgate down.

There isn't much more news at this time. Nothing much has happened

Love, Mom

P.S. I was going to send you some money but
The envelope was already sealed.
