Maria getting out of the car to kill me.
Maria, happy, skinny, smitten with Joe
The Manhattan LDS temple.
I have never had athlete's foot nor a fungal infection of any type.I meant to have the pictures appear in the same order as the title but I am impaired.
Amy's comment about Maria and moisture inspired the direction of this post, thanks, Amy!
I also hate the word moist and all its derivatives. Why? Perhaps because of its association with warm, dark places in which fungi like to grow? Eeew!
I suppose it's ok for describing cake. What else would be appropriate in that case? "Yum, this cake has just the perfect amount of liquid/lack of dryness." I think I'll just stick with calling a particularly good piece of cake "delicious."
For some reason, everyone(local culture, I suppose) has adopted the use of "moisture" when referring to any kind of precipitation during prayers. Ex: "We're thankful for the moisture we received." It makes me squirm everytime I hear it!
Would you like a moist towellette to blot your soiled upper lip? Aaagh, never!
I don't get it. We don't say, "Boy, we got about 4 inches of moisture from that last storm!" Well, actually, I can imagine a couple of people saying that...but as a whole we comment on the amount of snow or rain. Saying moisture is kind of like talking about humidity, it just doesn't make any sense, not to mention it's essential to fungal growth--not too dry, not too wet.
Are we thinking it's a more respectful way of saying rain or snow? Help! It's like saying we're thankful for the nutrition instead of the food. I guess we are thankful for the nutrition...
Ok, I'm beating a dead horse. Don't get me wrong, I love going to church. I get a renewed perspective and feel better about life,people, myself.
Abrupt change of subject. Must one transition in a blog?
I changed my settings so readers can comment without creating a Google account, I was worried a random weirdo might leave inappropriate comments but I guess I can edit.
Also, I am limiting myself to posting on Sundays and Wednesdays. I have to control myself!
I love your comments, everyone! You're hilarious!
I tried 4 times to make paragraph breaks and they were deleted everytime I posted. I hate huge blocks of text but I can't seem to correct it.
ReplyDeleteEricka absolutely depises the word "moist" and so of course we say it to her whenever we can. Lately Megan and I have decided we really dislike the word globulin and have used it to describe some inappropriate things. Seriously you think about really funny random things. I love it! (Don't limit your blogging to 2 days a week. You are keeping me entertained)
ReplyDeleteOkay...why can I hear your voice when I read that? Why do I feel like we've had this discussion approximately one million time...oh wait we have. But still funny.
ReplyDeleteHowever, why the random photos of Maria??? Does that have anything to do with anything in this post?? I supose you just love Maria so much you couldn't resist. Or is it because she has MOIST palms? I'd like to give you a fungal disease...just because you're so smug about never having had one!
You are cracking me up! Maria will probably want to kill me to for the inspiration! That first pic of her is so freaking funny -- nice manicure, bearing a little testimony and driving barefoot? interesting!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right about the "thankful for the moisture" thing. Now I'll crack up in the prayer like I do so often in the songs. :)
Moisture makes me think of the Princess Bride when Wesley is in the pit of despair (Sonja I know what you're thinking right now and you can just ZIP IT!) and the albino is dabbing his bloody shoulder with that wet rag. dab dab dab. So when someone prays about moisture I imagine a giant wet nasty rag dabbing them.
ReplyDeleteEverything I do seems to produce an exagerated response from Maria so I was going to write about her but then then it seemed too family-centric But Amy did say Maria hated the word moist (ick) so that's why she's on here.
ReplyDeleteI totally was cracking up in church yesterday singing this song about not imbibing tea & coffee and eating very little meat. What was called, Linda? All I remember is Hark, hark, hear the children's voices.
Although I've never had a fungal infection, I do own that tube of clotrimazole. I'll save that explanation for a blog on self-medicating.
What about self-dentistry??
ReplyDeleteMy blood pressure seems to rise around you because as a general rule you do and say things for the sole purpose of irritating me. Need I bring up embarassing examples, grabber?
What about the hymn that says "then the full corn shall appear". Cracks Amy up every time, and me too.

ReplyDeleteSonja: "In our Lovely Deseret"?
ReplyDeleteI always thought the "very little meat" part was funny.
Liz, who also hates "moist", brought something to my attention:
ReplyDelete(02:49:37 PM) cornchopsunshady: what the heck was your post on Sonja's blog?

(02:51:23 PM) Dave: what did it return as a translation?
(02:51:41 PM) cornchopsunshady: Acuvue 1 contact with a humid day is called
(02:52:09 PM) Dave: here's what I typed: There is a contact called Acuvue 1-day Moist
(02:52:24 PM) cornchopsunshady: Ah!
Now I'll stop cluttering your blog
I was going to stop posting in Hindi, but now...
