Why do Mormons store wheat?

For many years, the Church of Jesus Christ has advised its members to store food and necessities as a way to be prepared should they come upon hard times, a year's supply. Church leaders have given this counsel for many many years, and they still do.

They store other foods as well as wheat because they believe a time is soon coming when such things will not be commonly available according to prophesy, so there has to be enough in storage to carry the Mormons through such a time. A Mormon family is supposed to have saved up enough of everything they need, including money, to live for a year without replenishing anything. I'm not sure how you'd manage to pull that off with perishables, though.

What does the sheaths of wheat floral arrangement look like?

Fall Dried Floral ArrangementCourtesy of Jo-Ann Stores Inc.

Supplies:

  • Aleene's Floral Glue
  • 1 bunch each Keepsake Garden Collection Drieds:
    • Blonde wheat
    • Black bearded wheat
    • Several sprigs preserved dried or silk oak leaves
    • 6-7 various silk fall flowers
  • Rubber band
  • Several strands of raffia
  • Craft snips or craft scissors

Directions:

  1. Gather together 2 types of wheat. Even up stems at bottom by lightly tapping stems on table top. While holding the bunch in hand, begin to twist & turn the bunch so the bottom of the stems will "spray out" to create a base large enough for the bunch to stand up. Wrap rubber band around the bunch to secure.
  2. Clip off bottoms of stems to make base flat enough to stand alone.
  3. Create a small cluster of flowers & leaves to be attached to the front of the wheat "stand". Lay down stems of oak leaves. If desired, you may glue them directly to the wheat stems, on top of rubber band. Tucking stems into rubber band also helps to secure the stems. Reinforce with glue. See photo for direction.
  4. Add various fall silk flowers on top of oak leave, as seen in photo. Place glue on stems & tuck them into wheat.
  5. Tie a "shoe-tie" bow with raffia. Let streamers of raffia hang down. Wire or glue bow to side of arrangement.

Decorating Ideas:

  • Stand on buffet table as a centerpiece.
  • Create several at different heights for an interesting centerpiece.
  • Lay flat on table or place in a flat basket.
  • Add a hanger & hang on a door or wall.
  • Use other dried or silk flowers for the cluster on front of the wheat bunch.
  • Instead of raffia, tie ribbon paper twist or jute around wheat.

Does Bacardi have corn or wheat in it to begin with before the distillation process breaks it down.?

HFCS is significantly cheaper in most places than cane sugar. Typically cane sugars are reserved for the top-shelf rums with corn-derived product filling out the mid to bottom shelf. Some cheapo-brand distillers blend in a mix of corn-derived pure ethanol, water, coloring, corn-based sweeteners (HFCS), artificial flavoring and a token amount of cane-derived rum into their product when bottling. If you're concerned with gluten, avoid the cheapo-brand alcohols.

Do vaginal creams for dryness and itchiness actually cause itchiness for a few minutes after they are applied?

Yes, it's quite common. It's because the vaginal tissues are extremely delicate and since it is very dry the vaginal creams will itch a little, but should go away within 2 - 3 minutes. If you find that you experience more itching, redness or puffiness then please see your doctor as you may be allergic to the cream itself. A good healthy way is to use KY Jelly that keeps this area well lubricated. As women age the tissues in the vaginal area begin to thin and become dryer. Hygiene is very important (use a mild soap) don't use tampons, but Always Wings are good and use KY Jelly after bathing this area as well as when you have sexual intercourse. They are finding that hormonal creams for vaginal dryness and itchiness is causing more harm than good. Just heard that on the health news last week. I try to do things a natural way before using medications from my doctor. Diet is also important and sugar is a culprit for vaginal itch, so back off the sugar and eat cultured yogurt (you can add even a few pieces of canned pears or peaches if the fruit is out of season in your area to make it taste better.) Acidic foods or spicy foods can also cause this in some women. These are all aids I use for this problem, but the KY Jelly.
