Happy Days in Random Chatter 10

[Giovanni Schwartz]

I would just like to say that you can still log into the old board board.

AND YOU CAN TOTES POST THERE TOO, I just discovered.

[C is for]

just so people know, if you have spaces in your username you may or may not have to use underscores to log in. If you want to be cool like that. But everyone knows that the true party is here.

I don't get it. "O Ye Mountains High" is in the Finnish hymnal as well. I'm not even sure why...

[Defy V]

While I was in France, I saw "L’amour de Dieu, sa force aussi" in the hymnbook and didn't recognize it as one in the English hymnbook. Interestingly enough, it was written by Naomi Randall, so you would guess that we'd have it in English, too. Anyone know why we don't?

There's a duct tape festival in Avon, Ohio every year on Father's Day weekend, and I really really wanted to go this year. Due to financial poop, I couldn't go. I'm a member (and a founder) of various duct tape groups on facebook, and some of the other tapers got to go, and now they're posting pictures of the festival and I am SO. DARN. JEALOUS.

It's time to start one up in Utah County!

The thing with Avon is Duck Brand is headquartered nearby.

That said, don't think I haven't given some thought to trying to organize something like that down here. ; )

So you remember the girl that friendzoned me? She told me that she didn't want to go on a date because she wasn't interested in a relationship. And then tonight she showed up at a party with her new boyfriend. Class. Pure class.

Since I've known Portia, I've been bothered by the nagging feeling that she reminded me of someone. Not an acquaintance per se, but a character from a movie, or novel, or something.

I finally realized who it was! Peppermint Patty from Peanuts.

And now I feel stupid that it took me this long to realize that.

Hey guys, I got married last week!

[Tally M.]

Congrats!

[NerdGirl]

Congratulations!!

Ha. I saw the movie Limitless on TV the other night and Googling around noticed that someone on Amazon is using the name of the fictional nootropic NZT from the movie to sell their placebos for $54.90. The irony is that I'll bet most people would feel dumber after paying over $50 and then finding out that it didn't do anything.

[Katya]

Congrats, Emiliana!

[thatonemom]

Congrats to you!

[Squirrel]

YAY!! I hope you have a wonderful life together!

[S.A.M.]

Please have Mr. Emiliana drop by and introduce himself! Live long, and prosper.

Hey guys, I got married last week!

Congratulations! You may be interested to know that last week (on June 19) we celebrated our fortieth anniversary.

[S.A.M.]

Awesome vorpal! How did you celebrate it?

[vorpal blade]

We took a trip to Arizona and New Mexico. On the first day we drove to Arizona and then spent some time with one of my brother-in-laws and his family. The next day we visited with an Aunt and some of her family. We then went to the Mesa Temple for a session, and finally drove to Flagstaff. On Friday we visited Meteor Crater and drove to Albuquerque New Mexico where one of my sons lives with his wife and one of my amazing grandchildren. We spent Saturday and Sunday with them, going to church and watching the missionary training session. On Monday we drove home.

Thanks for asking, S.A.M.

[Emiliana]

Congratulations to you too! (Anyone can get married, it's a lot more impressive to actually STAY married!)
