Congrats on making member of the month. I hope you enjoy the arcade with all those FP you now have.

Introduction FarSeer

FarSeer, how are things with you and the daughter, improvements? Is that six foot gate working well to keep those prowlers out?

Of course there is my usual question... when shall I press my suit for the Temple wedding?

I love my 6-foot gate If not prowlers, it certainly keeps everyone else out. Except, of course, the stray cats in the neighborhood that torment my dog. Some improvement with my daughter, but once my night class is over this week, we'll be focusing on home-centered activities.

I went to a Single Adult mini-conference on Saturday. In fact, I was on the committee of three stakes hosting the event, and the turn out was pathetic. Less than 100 people from 12 stakes... probably a 60-mile radius where the Single membership is upwards of 10,000. How can I get married -- temple or otherwise -- if no viable men show up? Besides, I have "bigger fish to fry" at home; do I really need *another* distraction to take me away from my home? No, sir.

We buried our puppy, Gigi yesterday. Poor little thing! She suffered so terribly, and we could do nothing but try to keep her calm and clean. It breaks my heart.

Poor thing. Did you have a little funeral service for your daughter's sake?

I understand about the lack of available hombres. I guess I see you working very hard and some help will be good from a good man, but of course it is better to remain single than to be stuck with a sack of potatoes.

Introduction FarSeer

Yes. There really *are* worse things than being single I've experienced some of those things first-hand. But it would be nice to have some help, particularly now that we own a home. There is a lot of work that needs to be done, and I could use some strong, willing arms.

After twelve years on my own, I'm used to making all the decisions. On the one hand, it would be nice to have counsel; on the other hand, as it is now, things are done my way all the time... I don't have to argue with anyone. Although at times I wish I could relinquish some of the responsibility.

Ah, well. Not going to happen.

Do you get visits from Home Teachers? Seems like a service project will be just good for them.

Sorry to hear about your dog, I hope you can find your hearts desire and will pray for you on that.

Thank you, Krakyn -- you are a genuinely kind man, from what I've experienced here in the forum.

JB - yes, I have a home teacher, but his wife recently died and he's a long-haul trucker and is only home on weekends. Now that his wife is gone, he has more responsibility around his *own* house.

I did have the young men (and their advisors, of course) come over about two months ago to help me figure out why my sprinklers in the back yard weren't working. They helped clean up some of the overgrowth and trimmed the hedge out front. I do have some help, but I don't feel right asking for too much. A friend of mine whose husband died had her bishop tell her that she couldn't be a "permanent" service project, so I'm trying not to be too needy.
