Two men in a conversation.‏

Are they planning to save the world?

Myrna wrote: Hmm, that may be exactly what they are saying.


Kirsten wrote: Maybe it's, "I don't know.  Emma's haircut isn't too bad; maybe we should ask Mary for a trim."

"I know right where the toenail scissors are."

Melanie wrote: Hahaha...Kirsten...what to even say to that?


Myrna wrote: Kirsten, are you referring to the recent double haircut day at Grandma's? Who knew that toenail scissors, the only ones that Grammy didn't hide, could do such a good job? Grammy would have been using them to cut Grandpa's hair all these years if she had only known.

Matthew: "I don't know about that, I've never fallen that far."
Jacob:  "No. It's great fun.  Grandma screams, Auntie runs fast, and Mom says, 'Get up, Jakey."
Matthew:  "For excitement, I think I'll stick with trying to get Kyle in trouble. . . .  Wait, Grandma screams?  Hmmmm...."

Kirsten wrote: Hahaha!  Another highly possible scenario!

Buenas Tardes!

This week has just flown by me. Seriously the weeks seem to fly by almost like days now. I hit my seven month mark last week and now I feel comfortable in the mission (with regard to the time, not talkin about "all's well in zion" here).
I had to do a lot wih numbers for the week, so i don't have a lot of time to write, but I love you all so very much and wish the best of success for you all. I am having a blast in my area now, as i am working so much more with the members, doing more service and everything. We're getting more successful references from the members and we had a baptism this week. (very interesting will have to report next week)
I got the card from grandma, a bpackage from Dear Elder and a package from the ward/branch. Way cool stuff.
Love you all,
Elder B

AnnMarie Saw an Accident

Myrna wrote: Dad remembered that you were the one who had seen the accident and not Eric. I couldn't remember which of you saw it. Anyway, Sgt. Nick Bowles doesn't know about it. He asked me to provide him with more information so he could look it up. Which day that you came down was it? New Year's Eve or New Year's Day?

AnnMarie wrote: The car appeared to have been totaled.  It was daytime, but I can't remember which day.  Road crew was filling in potholes by shovel.  It was southbound and involved a truck and a car (red?) in the #1 lane.  Perhaps it doesn't stand out to Sgt Bowles because there was no personal injury to the occupants.  Might be a non-story.

Hi, folks: pray you have all had a special Christ filled season and have a New Year of love, accomplishments and growth in the Gospel. Also for you a very happy birthday Myrna- thanks for the family news letter- is a keeper.
Myrna, thank you for your thoughtfulness in adding my name to the plaxo address book- I have not clicked on accepting this as it is not my desire to have any information on the internet, except for the immediate family/friends for my e-mail address. Pray you are all safe with the wonderment of the winter wonderlane we have had. Love you much- again thank you for the caramels- really, really good, Nanci was home with me for a few days and took some on her flight home . Love Helen

Fresh pineapple contains enzymes called proteases.

Myrna sent the following information: Fresh pineapple contains enzymes called proteases. Proteases break down (digest) proteins. Since your tongue is made up of lots of protein, then eating lots of tasty, fresh pineapple can make your tongue tender. This is why pineapple is included in many meat-heavy feasts (think Hawaii). The fresher the pineapple, the more protease that will be present. So, this process of tenderness is a given.

When pineapple is canned, it goes through a process called autoclaving to kill bacteria and spores so it will be safe for many years. This process also destroys the protease enzymes. This process could also potentially destroy the protein fragment that you may have an allergy to.

Bottom line... if you have the sensation with fresh pineapple and not with canned, then you probably don't have an allergy. If you do for both, then there is a better chance that you do have an allergy. 

Then, you would take two Benedryll thirty minutes before, and eat the canned pineapple again. If the sensation does not appear for a few hours (when it did before), then that would suggest you do have allergies.


Amy G. wrote: Don't know who thinks they are allergic....... BUT, if you like fresh pineapple, but don't like what it does to your tongue here's what you can do.

Cut the fresh pineapple up into chunks and let it sit in the fridge overnight.  The enzymes break down and you can eat it much easier the next day.  I love pineapple and buy it often.  This is what I do so I can eat it as much as I want!  :)  Enjoy!

Myrna wrote: I didn't know what happened to me, Myrna, but after I ate four pieces of fresh pineapple at Brick Oven on Thursday evening, all the skin from the insides of my cheeks and the roof of my mouth peeled off. My tongue was tender and my throat sore. Jared was here and, at first, said he didn't think it could be skin peeling away. But we discovered that, indeed, it was my skin peeling away, as in a sunburn. I found this about proteases and it seemed to explain what had happened. I will follow your suggestion for pineapple when I prepare it here at home but I don't think I will eat it at Brick Oven again. We think that I do not have an allergy because I can eat canned pineapple but I must have had REALLY fresh pineapple. (Think meat tenderizer.)

Thanks for the hint. M


Amy G. wrote: hmmm. weird.  I know there are different varieties of pineapple, some are a lot more acidic than others.  The grocery stores usually try to sell the low acid or "mild" varieties...  Sorry you had to go through that.
