And when there is no plain Cap'n Crunch or Crunch Berries to be had, I can content myself with the peanut butter flavor. My best friend and I, while in college nearly 40 years ago, originated the Cap'n Crunch Bust: Bring your own bowl and spoon; we provide the cereal and milk.

A refrigerator with a jug of milk, Captain Crunch box on top of the frige...and a bowl/spoon. I can't buy it any more..it is just too addictive to me. That and Cracklin Oat Bran! Any more you can buy a steak for the price of a box of cereal..Practically have to give birth to open the darn plastic bag! 2

We had to go to a few restaurants to find milk, but the only place that had milk had no bowls, so we had to use those tapered Coca-Cola glasses. Just as we were about to eat, one of the elders bumped into the table, and all the glasses fell over. 2

jbarm Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 I just wanted to note that my uncle was Stake President and was also unemployed. He lost his job as a lumber yard manager, not a lucrative position. He has struggled with employment issues his whole life. He also lives in a very LDS community with many wealthy members. jb

strappinglad Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Just to be a bit picky, I believe it is only possible to pay a full tithe if you are paying 10% of your increase yearly. How much one pays is down the list from whether or not one pays. The widow's mite can be applied here. 2

I am weird in that I prefer hot cereals like steel-cut oats or cracked wheat. It's pretty much impossible to find cracked wheat in the eastern US, so last time I was in Utah I bought a 5 lb. bag. But Cap'n Crunch is good stuff if I'm in the right mood.
Kenngo1969 Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) With reference to what I said earlier about my brother, years ago, when he was a counselor in a bishopric and they were trying to sell their house, they weren't getting any offers. I said, "You know, Thomas, maybe there's a reason you haven't been able to sell your house." He said, "I know. We were thinking that, too." Shortly after that, he was called as a bishop. When he reorganized the bishopric, the stake president said, "Some of you may have seen the 'For Sale' sign out in front of the G. house. We have rescinded that sign." P.S.: Sorry to derail the thread from Cap'n Crunch. Long live the Cap'n! Carry on! Edited July 19, 2016 by Kenngo1969

I wonder if eating too much Cap'n Crunch can affect one's eligibility to be considered as a stake president.

P.S.: Sorry to derail the thread from Cap'n Crunch. Long live the Cap'n! Carry on! In my home stake, a man was called to be a counselor in the stake presidency. He had some serious heart issues and had endured and felt that his poor health would not allow him to serve, but when he was set apart, he was promised his health issues would not get in the way of his calling. He was in the stake presidency for 9 years, IIRC, and although he still had heart issues, they weren't serious. When he was finally released, he planned on retiring and moving to Utah. He was released on a Sunday at stake conference, and they had everything packed and ready for the move. He had a massive heart attack and died about an hour after he got home from stake conference.

I wonder if eating too much Cap'n Crunch can affect one's eligibility to be considered as a stake president. I've never asked if he's a fan of the Cap'n, but I doubt it. I think his tastes run more to simpler stuff like Cheerios and Cornflakes. (Mine do too, but, of course, I'm in absolutely no danger of being called as a Stake President or to any other position of ward or stake leadership, so I doubt tastes in cereal are any sort of a criterion. Rather, in my case, it's that whole "husband-of-one-wife" thingy! ) Of course, when he was first called as a bishopric counselor, he had young children, so that might've affected his tastes in cereal ... As for cereal, I just polished off my latest box of Cheerios yesterday, and now I've started in on a Post offering called Waffle Crunch. It's somewhere between Cheerios and Cap'n Crunch on the sugar content scale, but I like it.

I have no idea how they do such things, but it would explain how my friend's marginally believing bank president father was called as stake president. I do know that when I was elders quorum president and our bishop was moving, the stake president interviewed all of us in priesthood leadership and asked us for 3 names each. I have a good friend in St. George who said the new stake president was called to that position apparently because he is a CEO of a large company. Other than that, the new stake president was a recent move-in that nobody in the stake knew very well.

Isn't most of St. George move-ins from some other mostly colder climes? I know it has grown greatly over the last few decades.
