Interesting photo of Anne Romney drinking what appears to be Coca-Cola. I think that Coke is one of the drinks banned under the Latter Day Saints Word of Wisdom.

My LDS friends tell me that they do drink Coca-Cola and Diet Coke, but coffee and tea (hot drinks) are forbidden.

They can have soda, as long as it's caffeine free.  Mormons are against any sort of stimulant, including caffeine.

The Mormons call themselves "Latter Day Saints".  I am not completely sure, but I think it has to do with the founder of the religion, Joseph Smith.  I'm not a Mormon, so I don't really know how this name came about.  Just know that whenever you see "LDS" it refers to the Mormons.

I have a question for poeple on this board.  Cherleen was so happy when South Africa won and no one said anything.  But when Mary visit the Austrian  team member everyone on this board was killing her.

Austria, Australia, ... gee who can be bothered to know the difference ...

Well Charlene gets criticized for her toadyism to South Africa and that she neglects Monaco. 

[Cloaked]

Did many swimmers from Monaco actually make it to the finals?

Monaco's team was very small. They were only in a few events. So attending swimming and other events, it makes sense she would cheer on SA. And really I didn't mind at all because she serves and promotes Monaco the rest of the year.

Unlike Mary who makes a point of attending Aussie events over Danish events - especially true in Beijing because Marge wasn't there. And she spends the rest of the year promoting herself in Australia, NOT wearing Danish fashion, NOT learning Danish, ... and on and on ...

Yep  

Also, Charlene was a part of the SA swim team.  She knows the coaches, trainers, etc.  Mary has never been a part of any Olympic team.
