There was a Norwegian immigrant man ( A Devout Lutheran, Of Course ) who had worked all his life on his North Dakota farm and had saved all of his money, and was a real " Miser."
Just before he died, he said to his beautiful Norwegian wife, " When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me.
I want to take my money to Heaven with me."
And so he got his wife to promise him, with all of her heart, that when he died, she would put all of the money into the casket with him.
Well, he died.
He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there - dressed in black ( What Else ) and her best friend was sitting next to her.
When they finished the funeral service, and just before the undertaker got ready to close the casket, the wife said, " Wait just a moment " !
She had a small metal box with her; she came over with the box and put it in the casket.
Then the undertaker locked the casket down and they rolled it away.
So her friend said, " Girl, I know you were not fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied, " Listen, I'm a Norwegian Lutheran & I cannot go back on my word.
I promised him that I was going to put that money in the casket with him."
" You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him " ? !
" I sure did " !
Said the wife.
" I got it all together, put it into my account, and I wrote him a Check....
If he can cash it, then he can spend it. "
" AMEN " !

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
