Smooth talkers win elections. I was recently told about a communications class on a college (BYU?) campus, where the teacher took two speeches and asked the students who they would vote for. Every student but one picked one speech over the other. The one that received only one vote was Ronald Reagan. The one they picked, almost unanimously, was by Adolf Hitler.
Yes, and that is just one more reason our country is in big trouble...stupidity on top of corruption and greed and a people that have turned their backs on God and his commandments, not a good combination! We are in trouble! Fasten your seat belts people, we are in for a rough ride ahead.
I'm no longer "un-officially engaged". That's right. Your teasing and blunt hinting is old news. You all know the big news. No definite date yet, but it's looking like beginning to mid-July. *sigh* Long time. It actually works out great to do it then for when Katie's parents come home and Brigham's school stuff. I told Christa I'd put up pictures on here, but I realized I don't actually have many pictures. Mom and Dad have a few. These are a couple of pictures Pictures taken with my phone today. Better pictures coming, I'm sure.
Update on Me (if anybody cares) The Dr's office called yesterday and said they'd scheduled an appointment for discussing taking care of my thyroid through radiation. I said OK. Then, the Radiologist called me an hour later and said he wanted to do it over the phone, and give me the radiation treatment today. So I talked with him for quite a while. He says I have Graves disease (updated : I previously said White's disease), and highly recommended the radiation treatment, although there are a couple of other options. After weighing out the options, I've decided to go ahead and do the radiation treatment, because it doesn't completely kill the thyroid. It just severely hurts it. I'll be taking a good dose of Iodine-131 , which has the sideaffect of not being around my unborn baby for a while, which in turn means staying away from Erica. That won't be fun.
