Nope. Definitely not. (I said that in my head in Olivander's voice from Harry Potter)
Harry Potter is a great series
Oh my goodness, you literally are everywhere.
Haha.  i was thinking the same of you.  But thats cool.  You are interesting to talk to
Thanks, I really appreciate that :) I just really am craving some BYU truffles, and why spend money on them if you don't have to?
I wonder if they are peanut butter truffles?
....but I could handle that. As long as they weren't a portkey taking me to the peanut butter world we are discussing in the other chat?
haha.  I thought some chat cross pollination would be intertaining
Of course, but I mean, pork truffles would just be a little too much of a stress, so naturally peanut butter was the only option. *stretch not stress
Can you even remember what the subject was that we started on with this chat?
Hahahaha, if I scroll up, yes.
Dont cheat.
Hey now, no one said that in the rules.
See if you can remember without looking
Well, I already checked on this one so you'd have to ask on a different chat. I mean, this is one of the more recent ones, so it would be freshest in my mind anyway.
Was it what we would do with a million dollars?  Or was it if we were the only one on the planet?  Or none of the above. Wait.  Now this feels like a school class.  :-)
It was if computers could vote We just steered it away suuuuuper quick haha
There was on subject that had something to do with saying no to something recently.  I had an interesting dialogue on that subject with someone last night
Do you remember exactly what it was? Saying no to what?
I think the question was something like what have you said no to today.  I started by having a hard time remembering anything I said no to.  And that is part of my problem in life I did admit that I said no to the alarm clock that morning and slept in 30 minutes later
So you're one of those that has a hard time saying no? Has that affected your relationships?
That is an interesting question.
I mean, it could positively affect them too.
Right Sometimes I do too much for people and they keep expecting more until eventually there is a limit in my abilities and the relationship ends I honestly havent ever analysed relationships with resepct to being able to say no. How about you.  Are you a yes person, maybe or no.
I would have to say the same as you. But maybe in two different ways. I really love to serve. I feel like it's a duty and I've been so blessed, I have no reason to ever say no to helping watch someone's kid, helping them move, giving them an ingredient, etc. But I do feel like I am taken advantage of sometimes. But also, that giving nature allows me to get through to others that others wouldn't have the patience or stamina to get through to, if you catch my drift?
Wow you type and think fast. I totally agree. I also like a good challenge.  So I rarely say no to a healthy competition.  And I never like to give up -- although I have more than my share of not winning
Haha thanks, I actually have an unnatural obsession with typing. And when I get in these zones, my ideas flow too. Too bad that never happens with homework. I agree-- challenges are great, and competitions are super good, but sometimes it really just exhausts me.
Haha.  that is a great skill to have And your thoughts are not shallow and quick.  It is one thing to type fast and another to say something thoughtful and you are killing both Im impressed.  What are you studying at BYU
Haha, thank you so much! That just made my night! I study Human Development :)
Thats cool.  What are the core subjects or skills in that discipline?
So, it is casually known as the "mom major", so we focus a lot on the development of a human, womb to tomb. We look at behavioral, cognitive, social, physical, emotional, etc. development of a person. Also, about family functionality. It's been an amazing experience and I've been humbled by what I've learned. I just hope to be a great contributor to my future children, because I've been trusted with so much of this valuable informatio. *information
What a intelligent approach to education.  I am impressed.  Most people say that their degree focus is about making lots of money.  Rarely do you hear someone say their focus is on the betterment of the core building block of our lives and community - the family.
We've learned time and time again that when the focus strays from the family, society falls apart. If a heart isn't anchored in something of worth and solidity, is it even anchored? Thank you, though, I appreciate that :) Granted, my husband is applying to medical school, so I haven't had to stress too much about finding a career path that makes a lot of money (even though we'll be in debt for awhile haha) BUT I also see that as a huge blessing that I can focus on family and strengthening the home atmosphere so my husband and children can go on and change the world.
I am grateful that my parents made the early decision and sacrafice to have a traditional structure.  My dad is was an accountant.  My mom had a degree in interior design and is really talented but chose to focus all her efforts on the family and home.
I respect the women that want to have a career, and I don't judge because it's such an individual decision. BUT. I believe the traditional structure will be the best for us. I can't bring children into the world and then not give them EVERYTHING. It'd be unfair. But that is just me.
I agree.  My parents have been good examples and I want to be able to provide for my family and contribute to society.
That's a great goal. And it's not unrealistic at all.
I dont know who I will marry or what their talents and contributions to our family will be -- but of top importance is giving my stewardship as a parent my best effort.  I am sure it will be humbling.
As long as that remains your focus, I know that things will fall into place. My husband and I have started watching this show on Netflix that we like, and, unlike most shows on the air nowadays, the main character has a very healthy relationship with her spouse despite her job as the Secretary of State.
Do you mind if we close another window and go down to one chat.  I think the day is weighing heavier on my multi tasking skills
Yeah, totally okay!
What show was it?
And it's refreshing to see a family portrayed as successful in the "real world" AND AT HOME. It's called Madam Secretary :)
Never heard of it
I didn't either until a girl in my ward who is going into Law School brought it up. They remain neutral in political views, which is nice, so it's helped me learn a bit more about the Secretary of State's function.
What channel is it on Do you ever watch the good doctor?
So I'm not exactly sure what channel is normally aires on, I've just been watching it on Netflix. I can google it super quick though. CBS And I've heard of it, but I recently decided to stop watching Grey's Anatomy because it's so inappropriate, and am scared to get involved with a medical drama again so soon :(
Oh right.  You said that.  I forgot.  I have netflix.  I actually rarely watch TV these days.  Keeping my grades up is a full time job around here The good doctor also started having inappropriate sub plots and inappropriate relationships. Why do they have to ruin a good show?!
I know! Shows can be captivating without inappropriate relationships. Golly. And I totally get what you mean about the grades. I am at the point of trying to value learning over my GPA, but others might not have that luxury haha.
I need to run and help a neighbor before lights out.  I need to sign off.  Thank you so much for the chat.  Hope you are more than successful at getting the box of chocolates. You seem like a very well grounded person.  I hope I find someone similarly grounded in the family and values. Best regards!  Good night.
