It still has the same smattering of "controlled substances" in it. (Hubby once did a distillation test on tea and they had to sign in the results because they were controlled substances.) And yes, I have my hands full trying to keep myself unspotted.Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-43563249722221018762011-01-31T06:54:55.396-07:002011-01-31T06:54:55.396-07:00Out here in the mission field areas, you get a lot...Out here in the mission field areas, you get a lot of this. I love the church, I know it's right, BUT.... I learned long ago through the Spirit not to take it on. I just work on keeping myself unspotted. And surpringly that's hard. I thought green tea was fine until I learned it depends. Sigh. So I'm pretty much back to plain ole water. It's a learning process.Terri Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905158157291602809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-79591151020746453422011-01-30T10:17:42.797-07:002011-01-30T10:17:42.797-07:00Love the "no" and "on" confusi...Love the "no" and "on" confusion--I have that, too.<br /><br />And aren't there just times when you want to put your foot in somebody else's mouth?Wendy A.

He's LDS so I said, "no, but if I had been would you tell my bishop?" I was joking, of course, and he said, "No...but you know...some good members come through sometimes and tell me they just smoke a little weed now and then. I have to keep the confidentiality agreement but I also feel compelled to remind them that that's NOT okay." People will justify anything.Kamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816124780657036981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-67605839202157614862011-01-28T17:11:41.415-07:002011-01-28T17:11:41.415-07:00Thanks Leesa, and Kristin. and yeah, being a "...Thanks Leesa, and Kristin. and yeah, being a "chocolatier" sounds like a lot of fun...if only the products weren't so insanely expensive! I don't know if I will ever do another one. It was kind of an experiment. I think I would rather gather the supplies and do a chocolate party of my own! heehee I think it would be a lot safer!Kari Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855609339118198399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-4617370589893363162011-01-28T16:23:44.392-07:002011-01-28T16:23:44.392-07:00Oh dear!

One of them is a recent convert, so I can't blame her for not yet knowing or making all the right decisions regarding the WoW.<br /><br />I gave a talk last Sacrament meeting where I mentioned the time I wasn't able to speak up when someone was bashing the church in my local writers' group a year or so ago. I wasn't sure if I'd made the right decision to remain silent, but the spirit wasn't whispering any words into my ear. I'd always chalked it up to my being deathly shy, and felt bad about my mistake. Now I feel better knowing it isn't required to ALWAYS say something, especially if speaking up is going to make things worse. I'd said something along those lines in my talk, but I wasn't sure if I was right or not. I feel much better reading your experience and how you were prompted to handle it.<br /><br />Having said that, now I must say: Holy cow! If there were ever a home-party business that I'd love to be a consultant for, it would be the chocolates!! Wish I had the money to order from you! Let me know if you ever have another one.Kristin Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112300139571487439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-13971433954335315572011-01-27T10:45:14.602-07:002011-01-27T10:45:14.602-07:00Kari, I have the same switch problem.
