The advertisement I photographed was for cat and dog pet products. So in that context it was a play on words. Yes, thanks for reminding me of the non-Mormon meaning of “fetching.”

But, fetching used to be an adjective meaning beautiful or wonderful, I believe. I've read things that describe a woman as fetching, meaning lovely. I think it's kind of funny that Mormons will read it and think it's a euphemism for a bad word :) I don’t know, I never read the ads.

By the way, check out this advertising flyer from Target that appeared in our local Sunday paper July 6th, 2008. Did this appear in Utah too? http://indymormon.blogspot.com/2008/07/such-deal.html annegb: welcome back.

What I heard was he got up and said, "I have just one word for my wife. The word is....Sternum!" I heard it brought down the house, but maybe the story grew in the re-telling. You know, I just love that woman, she made my day the day I heard it and how much happiness her ditziness has brought into the lives of us Mormons, we'll never know. JA Benson, That cracked me up.....I wonder how that went for her and the cats....sure wish it was on video :) I’ve heard that story, but it sure is worth re-telling.

In a previous wrd it seemed to serve mostly as a platform for the mentally ill. In the current ward it is occasionally inspirational but mostly just boring. I think I miss the crazies.

In my ward, an really old guy got up and bore his testimony about how proud he was to have dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. I don't know whether he was a veteran, but he certainly was not involved in the mission -- you can look up all the names of the soldiers involved in that mission on the internet. After the meeting, several Aaronic priesthood holders went up to him and thanked him for his service to our country. That’s hysterical, Jeff.

But he kept on talking about all the great parts of the gospel, and included his excitement about being able to and go colonize other planets. I just hope there weren't any investigators there that week.
