Now if only you could say the same for the quality of my posts…

Steve — In all seriousness, I quite like the photo. In fact, it almost makes me like the blog name better (almost).

Steve wants my thoughts on GC? I love it. I look forward to it for six months. I feel the day after Christmas let down at the end of the Sunday session. I love it like a warm and fuzzy blanket. In fact, I find it so much like a fuzzy blanket that it, at times, lulls me to sleep, but in a peaceful and contented way. But mostly I’m awake, and engaged, and crocheting. (Yup. I said crocheting. I defy feminist stereotyping. I’m a proud crocheting feminist.) My warm feelings about general conference dulls the annoyance at some things that are said, and I’m generally not as fussed as others at the occasional odd talk.

Oh, and FYI, here in No.Va. we get conference on public access cable, meaning pajamas, snack food, and crocheting. Hurray for the fact that the Mormons are apparently taking over the federal government as evidenced by our mass population out here in the greater D.C. area. (So Steve, FYI, the “east” is more than just NYC, and we have some amazing restaurants here….)

I’ll miss the choir. But not enough to go. If I want to hear the choir, I can buy a CD.

Or a T&S version with lots of other little photos from all over the world with wards also raising their hands? Women & men?

Thank goodness there are a few uppity women that can manage to stick with the church! I worry…. And thanks for pointing it out. I am occasionally lulled into believing it’s normal when it’s so absolutely bizarre.

That’s not a political statement, just a measure of me not trying very hard. The photo is strangely appropriate, though, representing in many ways what our church is (and isn’t) about. I’ll take it down if the rest of y’all so deem.
