Just letting ya know I'm still alive. Don't like the road show any more, 'bout ready to call it quits. It has been approved by the bishop, but that doesn't matter to one family. They must control the ward. Well the ward do not evolve around them.
Now on to something mind boggling!

I have fulfilled my promise !
Like I have promised. This is the book where the story takes place in Magna.
80 Miles From Nowhere by Melissa Ann Aylstock
rating: 3 of 5 stars
Well I thought that this book would be fun because I live right across the street from Magna. All I need to do is cross 7200 and I'm in Magna.
There was a lot of wrong things in the book. She talks about a shooting range in the rock quarry. There is a rock quarry but that is in South Jordan and you cant shoot there. Magna dose have a shooting rang but that is a club. The cave,and the camping ground? That is also not in Magna. That is in Butter Filed Canyon.
The way she describe Magna and Utah was just wrong. Sorry but that was wrong. People do lock their doors in Magna, and in Utah we have our share of kidnappings. And people shooting other people and if a person was shoot they would not go to Pioneer Hospital. That is a scary hospital to go to in the first place.
The Basic story I did liked.
Lance Morris, a young man on the run from himself and his religion, finds himself in Magna, Utah, without a car, without a job, and without a friend in the world. Soon he finds himself hiding from even more than his painful upbringing. Lance’s impulsive behavior thrusts him into a dangerous situation. To make matters worse, he inadvertently drags his roommate’s quirky sister into the mess. Minding her own business has never been Enin Woodson’s strong suit, so when a new guy shows up at her brother’s house, she’s all about making sure he doesn’t do anything to negatively influence her less-active brother. At least that’s what she means to do until her plan goes awry and she alienates her brother even more. Despite their agendas, Enin and Lance soon discover that when the going gets tough, even the tough do better as a team.
View all my reviews.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I have some disturbing news.
My brother is going fight in Afghanistan in April. There is a very small, slim chance that he might not go. He is trying to go to officers training, and if the paper work is approved then he will go to officers training instead. What one do you think we are hopping for.
We are all have some kind of anxiety over this. We, like other countless of family's in America and around the world don't want our soldier/soldiers to go to war. We, like others are also trying to figure out what this stupid war is now about.
Now if their is a good time for that knight and slightly tarnished armor/squire to come, now would be it. To save me from the dragon named anxiety. No you are right if he comes or not I will still be worried sick for my brother.

Like it or Lump it.
Now feed back comes from people in the ward about the rad show script They are confused? What????
Okay I know that you cant please everyone. But you know there are those people who think that they can always do it better then you. The "make it better" suggestions. After painstakingly writing a 15 min. script for two and a half weeks, and making it simple.
Come one people it is a road show. It is suppose to be cheesy! This is not a grand scale show like an Andrew Loyd Weber, or Rogers and Hammerstein musical.
It is a road show for crying out loud! Most people in road shows have never acted before. Of course we have all have played make believe at one time or a another but for the most of us that is the extent of our acting skills. It will be cheesy, it will be played up. I will say that it has been approved by the bishop.
Q&A:
Q: How many directors/actors does it take to change a light bulb?
A: 1- with 99 others saying "I could have done that better."
This must be added:
"I'm sorry that you can't understand the script. Mother and I are used to writing scripts for special needs"

Can I have a day with out drama?
My brother Seth came home. So he was over today. Because of that his #2 son Andrew didn't want to eat. That is when the drama started. Andrew wanted to have a brownie instead and talk with daddy. He started crying when his daddy told him: "You need to eat 3 chicken nuggets before you can have a brownie."
Daniel, Seth's oldest son he surprises me all the time on how smart he is. He is 5 years old not yet in kindergarten all because of this birthday is in December. But he can tell time and is reading and it's good for a kid that age. Daniel freaked out when his cousin who is autistic ate one of his chicken nuggets. You see Daniel thought that he couldn't have a brownie because of that, but auntie Hollie (me) told him that it was ok he can still have his brownie.
Then my nephew who is autistic he played in the kitty litter twice. You see he likes to get dirty, he loves going outside and playing in the dirt. He will put it on his head and eat it. So while I was cleaning up the kitty litter he went down stirs and dumped out the toys in the toy box. So after that was cleaned up he went back upstairs and dumped the dish soap all over the counter. After that was cleaned up Jeremy came home. Ah yes I forgot he also got into the Nathan's Jumper Roo more then once. The boy is too big he cant be in there. He can get in but need help getting out.
I think that he was acting like this because he is out of his routine. All what my brother can say: "Now you know what it is like to 'parent' an autistic child." Thanks Jeremy.
So today I had 5 nephews, (no nieces), all under the age of 6 and one of them has autism. So needless to say I didn't get any work done. And I have a rash on my neck. So after I have published this I will need to wash my neck and put some anti itching, allergy stuff on, or windex! Ahahaha!!!!

Wow crazy days
Wow have I had a crazy week!
I have found out last night that I need to take care of my nephews. Because of my SIL has family business to take care of this weekend so of course she will be out of town.
Figuring out how I was going to get my special needs nephew to school. That is worked out. Again thank you!
I have the Hunter 4 ward Road Show to direct. I'm so grateful that I'm not the only director. Thank you Nathan! Organizing the scrips and give to the right people. Finding out that the people who wanted to be in it decided to not be in it. Going though our ward list and asking people to be in it. That is kinda hard when you don't know the people in the ward. Figuring out the costumes that should be fairly early.
Teaching the Virgina Real to all sizes and ages. That was cute. 4 little primary kids 5 and under making a bridge, while a 6'3" 15 year old boy trying to go under the 3 foot bridge. That was hilarious to watch! Oh if only I had a recorder! I would put up a little clip to show you. Everyone in the Virgina Real dance they were good sports.
We all had fun!

Tribute To My Son. By Athor Unknown
This poem was composed by one of the mothers who has a special needs son. This is just absolutely wonderful. It describes how Jeremy (my brother) feels. Along with so many other parents who has a special needs child in their lives.
Tribute to My Son
On a special day in the autumn,
God sent me a wonderful gift.
The babe that I held in my arms
Gave joy of unspeakable lift.
As I gazed at this tiny infant.
I marveled at the power above,
To trust me with this tiny creation,
To have, to hod, and to love.
As time sped by something happened.
And we knew he was a special child.
The things everyone takes for granted,
Would be hard to learn for this child.
The talking and walking that's so natural,
For this one would come awfully slow.
I prayed for understanding and patience
That I could help my child continued to grow.
Each achievement brought great satisfaction,
To anxious parents and friends who looked on.
Each word was a great accomplishment,
Each small step a rapturous song.
He needed more time and attention,
Than normal children do.
But this I gave him gladly,
For God said "This is my gift to you."
In my arms I cuddled him near,
And looked into his sweet innocent eyes
he seemed to say, "Mother don't fear,
Have faith you will understand,
That we are all here for a purpose,
And mine is different for other men."
"God has given us all a body,
In order that we might progress.
Please understand that I am different,
I've come here to give you a test."
"So please accept me for what I am,
And not what you'd like me to be
Continue to love and protect me
And always extend me your hand."
"Help me, and love me forever,
Give me the time that I need.
Find me a place in society,
That is filled with others men's greed."
With my hands reached out, I will help him.
And love in with all of my heart.
For I know he is very special,
And God has trusted me to do my part.
And when this life is over,
And we are through will all trial and grief,
I hope I have proved myself worthy,
Of this special spirit God has me bequeathed.
And when time comes for judgement,
I will see my son standing there,
His body erect and now perfect,
And standing by the side of God's chair.
He will smile and his eyes will twinkle,
To me he will extend a hand;
Saying--"Now it is my turn to help you, Mother.
See this is the way it was planned."

Little helps and Resources
Last year my nephew was diagnosed with autism. The frustrating part was that my Mother and I could see that my nephew has the classic signs of autism before the official diagnoses. But after working with special needs and different disabilities with a large range for five years. Everything from autism to def to physical disabilities to intellectual disability to memory loss to vision loss to mental illness. So it has been easy for my Mother and I to spot a person with different disabilities.
For three years we have been telling my brother Jeremy that his son has the classic sings of autism. He has told us that "he is just a late bloomer." It was frustrating for us because my brother would not believe us, when we said that his son has the classic signs of autism. Read is entries on this subject on his blog Scothoser's Corner.
When his son was three, his son was still not talking. Jeremy started to be concerned. It took Jeremy a lot to convince his wife and her family that the lack of speech at age three was not normal. They took their son to a speech therapist. This is his words: "The speech therapist diagnosed his speech development at 11 months, and identified some common behaviors that were typical with autistic children."
Jeremy talked with my parents and asked for advice. My Father said: "You do everything that you can for your child. You love them. You treat them the way a loving father would treat a loving son. " This is very good advice. You see my brother is also on the autism spectrum, as well as other social and communication disorders. Jeremy was scared out of his mind for the possibility that his son may have autism. When the doctor diagnosed him with autism. Jeremy and his wife was devastated.
Parents will go though a type of mourning. This is normal. Lots of parents will experience something like this type of mourning. The child in question will not experience a "normal" life.
Example:
"Resources, and knowledge empower individuals."

How do men know when women are interested???
I came upon an article called Study finds women are hard to read. Well I would say yes and no. I have to say I had a fun time reading this. This article address the issue of "what is women thinking- is she flirting or not or is she jest playing games?"
Marya Mannes believes this: "The art of flirtation is dying. A man and a woman are either in love these days or just friends. In the realm of love, reticence and sophistication go hand in hand, for one of the joys of life is discovery."
I think that she is wrong, but I do believe that flirtation is an art. I will say this, I doubt that he will read this, and if he does I doubt he will comment. Besides all comments will go to my email first. I once told my friend, (I'll call him Aussie jest for fun). Aussie that he needed to lesson to what I am thinking and not what I am saying. His response: How am I going do that? Was that flirting? Yes. I have also grabbed Aussies arm more then once. So was that flirting? Again yes! So for some reason I jest simply I like to give Aussie a little harder time then I will give my guy friends. Is that flirting? YES! Did he pick up on it? NO! Believe me I was praying and wishing that he would. So I simply decided that he wasn't interested.
Now I do admit that these are subtle hints. A lot of girls don't want to look desperate. I have known lots of situations where the "flirting" was unwelcome. For example: Lets call him Scott and her Libby.
Scott was standing jest out side a building. Libby started talking to Scott, and leaning towards him. Scott was leaning away from Libby. Libby was leaning so far toward Scott he almost fell over on to the ground. That my readers is one example of unwelcome flirting that Libby did not pick up on.
My dear readers I don't like to flirt is way. It looks desperate and down right bad. For me I like more subtle approach. Like the touching of the arm or shoulder, teasing, giving him a harder time then I give my guy friends, and maintaining a simple conversation. With me I don't play the games. I don't like to date people when I know a relationship will simply not work.
Now I would admit that not all girls like the subtle artistic flirtation approach. Like Libby, she likes the direct approach, that can look bad and will some of the time go wrong. Their are some that just want to play the games. Others just don't know how to flirt, or they feel self conscious flirting with men, they don't want to look like they are looking to get married. A lot of women feel that the man would simply walk away and the confidence will simply leave.
What I call games:
"Despite our differences, men and women, (children too), crave the same things: Security and appreciation. You can almost always see the sweet eight-year-old in the face of any grown-up person." ~Author Unknown~
I hope you have fun reading this as I had fun composing it. In short, I think that people are the most fascinating creatures on this planet. In the time of Adam and Eve up until today people have not changed.

What I call games:
- When the person you like will sit behind/or be near you while that person is on a date, but will pay more attention to you then the "date".
- Will date more then one person at one time.
- Will go around the room and flirt with everyone in the room.
- Mixed signals.
- The "looks" as in they keep looking and smiling at you, but don't do anything but talk to other people.
"Despite our differences, men and women, (children too), crave the same things: Security and appreciation. You can almost always see the sweet eight-year-old in the face of any grown-up person." ~Author Unknown~
I hope you have fun reading this as I had fun composing it. In short, I think that people are the most fascinating creatures on this planet. In the time of Adam and Eve up until today people have not changed.

King Authur
Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death.
The question?...What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.
He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests , the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer.
Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer.
But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.
The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first.
The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!
Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life.
He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur .
He said: "nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation! of the Round Table."
Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus:
What a woman really wants, she answered...is to be in charge of her own life.
Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared.
And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding.
The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened
The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half. Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night?
Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch
during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments?
What would YOU do?
What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you read on down below. OKAY?
Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself.
Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life.
Now....what is the moral to this story?

The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly
I got this from a friend. I thought that it was fun, jest in time for Valentines Day

Road show up date
On Sunday afternoon I got a bombshell dropped on me. The ward road how needs to be 15 min. tops. I'm sorry that is not a road show that is a ward talent show. So now the mini musical play that my mom and I wrote needs to be shorter, (I need to feed it some shorting, hahahah j/k). We have away to do it and I'm hopping that it will work out.
Now I have pitched the idea that we should still put it on but only for our ward. I think that we should have a ward party during the summer and put it on in full. I think that people will have fun.
I also think that since we do have so much talent we should put on a mini play every season. It would bring us together as a ward better. We have other people that can write plays and direct also. I want to use them for this..
We have the talent we should use it. My ward just ooze with talent, not just with the arts. I also think that it will help keep people distracted, and up beat, even if it is just for one hour. I think that it would be worth it. I also think that we need it during these hard economic times.
Anyone reading this go a head and use this idea.

Shame on you Dr. Andrew Wakefield
This so called doctor started it all. Within a article from the Times online exposes Dr. Andre Wakefield as a fraud, and a manipulator. He created the lie that the vaccine MMR shot will cause autism. He had manipulated patients data to support his lie. Why? He only knows.
Because of this lie parents all over the world refuse to vaccinate their children. So now those children are at risk for measles, mumps and rubella. These diseases are/or deadly. Parents please read!
Last week official figures showed that 1,348 confirmed cases of measles in England and Wales were reported last year, compared with 56 in 1998. Two children have died of the disease. (this portion was taken from the article it's self)
Parents do your duty and get your children vaccinated before 2 years old. The MMR vaccine will not cause autism. It is better that your children are well and alive, then see them slip though your fingers. Don't let your child become a victim of one of these diseases: measles, mumps, or rubella.
Autism is caused by more dense brain matter. Children with autism are unique. Because of this one so called Doctor he has drooped countless parents around the world, and set autism research back about 20 years. Because of this one lie these children with autism are victims themselves, for they can't get the proper help that they need.
How dare you. How can you have the gull to do what you have done? Shame on you Dr. Wakefield.
Whoever reads this please help me get this word out. Tell your family, friends, co. workers, put it on your blogs, email people, and tell them to read the article from Times Online lets get the word out to encourage parents to vaccinate their child!

Road show up date
I thought that I would keep my 4 readers up to date on what is going on with the Hunter 4 ward road show.
The scrip is finished (Yes!!). My mom and I were up very late the last couple of night's writing it. (^_^) You see that I'm smiling! Of course I haven't started rehearsals yet, by the time we are well into the rehearsals, the smile might be replaced by tears.
We are doing a historical 3 act musical, ( I guess that is what you would call it). It needs to be 20-25 min. tops. The hole thing is original, the music, everything. This road show is about pre. Utah. On top of all this my mom thought that it would be great to put this scrip into a full scale musical. So now she has me thinking on that big scale.
That is all I have for now I'll try to keep you updated on how we are doing with the road show.
If you are interested in watching our little musical, email me for details.

Iron Monkey
With sensational, nonstop martial arts excitement supplied by the acclaimed choreographer of The matrix and Crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon, Iron Monkey is the spirited tail of a mysterious and mythical Chinese legend! In a desperate and unjust land, where government corruption rule the day, only one man-known as the Iron Monkey- has the courage to challenge the system and fight back. Under the shadow, in the night, in the silence before dawn, he fights to give hope to the poor and the oppressed. Although on one knows his name or where he comes form, his heroism makes him a living legend to the people...and wanted man to the powers that be! Presented by Quentin Tarantino- don't miss the exhilarating action adventure the critics everywhere have called one of the greatest martial ares films of all time!
Yes I have seen this. I have been so cocked picked. I have tried to hen pick my 3 older brothers but it backfired big time. I have seen The Last Star fighter, many hours of Star Wars along with The Lord of the Rings, and tones of others. I was going to put up a video clip of the Iron Monkey but it was the English daubed was bad. This move is in Chinese with English subtitles. It is a clean movie, yes it has martial arts and that means violence. But what do you expect from a martial arts movie? So check it out!
This movie is a Chinese version of the English legend Robin Hood. Steel from the rich, give to the poor. Teach the corrupted officials a lesson. How it is told it quite entertaining. This is a real Chinese legend. But I think that every country has there own version of a Robin Hood tale.

Funnie stories
Someone from one of my half a dozen social networks wanted stories that we can laugh at now. I had to think. I have tons of them. The one I have chosen is the one that I need to set up. Only Utahans well understand.
Utah is a desert. We are the second driest state in the country. So you must imagine that we are always concerned about water. This story takes place in 11 grade A.P U.S history.
Mr. Jones brings in a pine cone it was fairly big as Utah pine cones will get. Usually you can take a pine cone and it will fit in the palm of your hand that is how big they can get, sometimes bigger. Well this particular pin cone was bigger then his (M.r. Jones) hand. He holds it up in the beginning of class and sad:
Mr. Jones: See this pine cone? This means that we will get lots of water this year!"
Me: snort sound
Mr. Jones: ROBB!!!
Me: I can just see it now we will be telling our grand kids, "When I was your age, I had to use a boat and row up stream, fighting off brine shrimp all the way to school! 20 miles"
Class: laugh, snicker
Mr. Jones: laugh
Mr. Jones: ROBB!! YOU MOCK MY WORDS!!!
Me: To late just did. We live in a desert, the most will happen is that the Great Salt Lake will rise to fairly normal levels. And the brine shrimp will breed even more, and no one knows what their purpose are or what they eat! Except to make more brine shrimp!
Well that was my funny story.

Porcupine's
What happens when you try to hug a porcupine? Well the answer is of course you are going to get prick hard. So the question is why do we try? There is always that person that will clash with your personality. Try we might to get along with our porcupine friend so that we might one day hug them, all we get for our efforts is their quills pointed at us.
You might have a porcupine within your family.
You might have more then one.
So what do we do?
You might have a porcupine within your family.
You might have more then one.

Why?????
I have made the some promise to myself after every time I do one of these. And every time I break my own promise. Why?? I don't know!!!! Maybe I have finely lost it? By the middle of March I would probably end up pulling out my hair, and start screaming in Latin, German, the little of Portuguese that I know, ASL, and English all together.
It all started out in the (dramatic voice) dreaded high school, Cypress high school. When no less I was part in the school musical. Fiddler on the Roof. I played the violin in that play, I played two strings at once. I had only 2 1/2-3 weeks to learn all the songs. It was a lot in such a small amount of time. I swore right then and there NO MORE PLAYS! My mom laughed and said that I will do another one. And I did so I have and there you go!
Ever then (high school) I have taken classes on how to direct, act and all that silly stuff. I need to have classes to fill up my days, so I did drama. I have tried to keep my promise to NEVER DO ANY MORE PLAYS! I have directed about 6 plays. Little, I know that is only because I have never wanted to keep this up.
So now I have broken my promise again. I am directing the ward road show. With all ages. That means teens. But this time I will have help, thank heavens! There is someone in my ward that has majored in drama, Nathan. Yeah!!! ( I'm hopping up and down, with joy) How cool is that! So my mom is going to wright it and, Nathan and I are going to work together. He is also going to do the scenery, and be in charge of the props. He made the mistake on saying "I will be happy to help out!" I was going to asked his wife to be in it but someone needs to take care of there kids.
