Mormon Discussions: A Good Stew

:idea: I had a sudden insight while cooking dinner. I was stirring a large pot and realized it was hard work. It made me gain a greater appreciation for all the pot stirrers here. Without them the ingredients in our stew would clump together and we would have burnt spots, while other parts of the stew would be underdone.

If we did not have protagonists and antagonists on this or any message board, we would simply go around and make cooing (or possibly hissing) sounds to one another and have a mediocre stew.

Stew over that for a while...

The participants here are all cooks trying to entertain an audience with a word stew that is mentally equivalent to the nutritional value of coffee and doughnuts.

I think you've come up with a nice analogy, Mok! :smile:

Kevin and I had a discussion about the mix on Shades' board a few years ago, and I think it still holds true...maybe even more so.

The message board at FAIR/MAD always felt like more of a formal office board meeting.

Shades' board always felt like more of the informal "no holds barred" office bull session lunch meeting.

At which venue are you going to

1. Get the honest scoop on what people think...

2. Have more fun!

Oh praise God, a new thread with only a few posts to have to read!

Well, stirring the pot is part of life. However, I use the microwave and toaster oven to cook almost all my meals. I get ready-to-eat foods from Sams.

Being divorced means I have to cook every meal my self and I make it as simple as possible. But, I sure like my apartment here on the third level overseeing the pool -- here in north Dallas! Niiiiiiice!

I used to live off of Frankford and the Tollway. We had a collection of pools in our apartment complex, and man did they feel nice in the middle of a hot Dallas summer.

I love that area. I got baptized when I was 20 right across from Prestonwood Baptist church. I got my mission call while I was working at Pappadeaux's off of Frankford. That Jack in the Box on the corner was the first meal I had after I got back from my mission.

Wait a second, do you mean the old Prestonwood church at the corner of Arapaho and Hillcrest? I think that church got sold and was turned into some kind of school.

What LDS building were you baptized in? Meandering way?
