NOM

I am being bombarded with invitations to attend the ladies ice cream social and broadcast. Email, text, facebook, and personal invitation to my 10 yo DD- which went over like a lead balloon. Please don't try to bribe my child to come to church with sweets?!?!?!?! m'kay?

Anyway, sorry ladies, I have a date with NCAA football on Saturday night. BOOMER SOONER!

Nice. It is football season.

My DW is having a BYU roommate reunion in Midway over GC weekend.To her dismay, on of the ladies husband is a BP and got them tickets to conference. She is pissed thast they are going to go to live co ferwnce and probably watch the other sessions. At least they are going to party during PH session by going to Ryan Hamilton comedy. He is pretty funny but I am sure the Mormon homes are going to be heavy that night in SLC.

I'm so glad I don't like ice cream.

I hope no one at the game talks to you in a sweet sing song voice..or offers some ice cream...you rock! Bribing kids is what they do.

My mom has a bunch of tickets and wanted me to come down with my daughters. I let her know immediately not to plan on us. This week she resorted to bribing the girls to come down to have sleepovers with popcorn and shopping.

No. Just no.

All this bribing going on. Women are generally more religious and wouldn't need a bribe to attend The women don't seem to be disaffecting at the same rates as men, so I'm guessing it's the faithful who need the bribing. Looks like this is a failed experiment. Of course, they'll blame the women, young women and girls and not the product.

Would that work?

My daughters would consider shopping a dissuasion rather than an enticement. It's something that has to be done from time to time, but only when necessary. But then my mom feels the same way, so she certainly wouldn't try that.

We've been lucky that our extended family never tried these games. I think part of the reason was because we never shared our grievances so they didn't know how to counter them. But, perhaps a bigger part is that's just how our families are.

Hell ya I'm watchin' it! On my computer. At home. So I can start a funny thread on NOM!

I kinda wanna see how the COB is going to try and "help" the sisters. It will probably be fun...wait did I say fun?...Oh...I meant horrifying. It will probably be horrifying. Like last April when, not one, but two talks, glorified terminally ill women who were spending their remaining time on earth slaving away for the church.
