My own little laundromat, the Ten Commandments, and a GIVEAWAY!!!

Woo hoo!! After a few months of seemingly never getting caught up on laundry, I finally got my dream. Well, almost my dream. My dream was to have two NEW stackable washer/dryer units.
I didn't get new units, but I found the smaller unit on craigslist for a great price. Then, when I was getting cash out of the bank to pick it up, I was explaining to the teller about what I was doing and that we were going to keep looking for a large unit.
She then explained that her grandmother had had one, then got cancer and moved away. It was sitting in her own carport a few blocks away. So, we got that one for a great price too!!
My laundry now gets done in HALF the time!
YOU can win this chocolate!

I've been going to church all my life, and this past week, we've been reviewing the Ten Commandments. The missionaries taught Josh a way to remember all 10. Josh then taught us, and I was so surprised that I couldn't remember them all off the top of my head, at first.

So, for the giveaway...leave a comment and post all the 11 (yes, I said 11) commandments that you remember, without looking them up. I won't award the chocolate to whomever remembers the most, but will rather do a random drawing from all the entries.

I'm just trying to make myself feel better for not knowing them all. :)

The contest will be done at 12:01 AM next Wednesday, December 2, pacific time.

Please, please, please comment with your list, so I'm not the one left eating this near-pound of chocolate!

Now, it's time to go get the kitchen ready for the onslaught of baking tomorrow!

I'll give it a try...(paraphrasing!!!)
1.Thou shalt not have any other gods before me.
2.Thou shalt not worship any graven images.
3.Thou shalt not use the Lord's name in vain.
4.Keep the Sabbath day holy.
5.Honor thy Father and thy Mother, that thy days shall be long upon the land. (My father reminded me of that last part often as a child!)
6.Thou shalt not kill.
7.Thou shalt not commit adultery.
8.Thou shalt not steal.
9.Thou shalt not lie.
10.Thou shalt not covet.
I suppose the 11th is that thou shalt love the lord god with all thy heart and thou shalt love thy neighbor like thyself...?? Or is loving the lord the first commandment, and then loving thy neighbor like thyself is the 11th (or technically the second...??)
I'm now going to look it up and check my memory :) Let me know how I did! :)

ooooh Chocolate! Okay I must try..without looking at the other answers. Remember that my list of commandments are ones I were taught in church as a child, and that was a long time ago. I haven't brushed up on my commandments in a verrrry long time. Totally not sure about the 11th commandment. LOL

Okay...
1) Thou shall not kill
2) Thou shall not commit adultery
3) Thou shall not steal
4) Obey your parents (Alex helped me with that one haha)
5) oops I looked over and saw the other answers. But I was stuck anyway. It's late..I'm sure I could have thought of more if I had a fresh mind! hehe

p.s. I love the new washing machines! That's what we need to do. I'm forever behind on laundry. Some times I'll get on a roll and get it ALL caught up..or so I think...until the boys and Billy bring me up all this hidden laundry they found in their rooms. Suddenly I'm behind again. Right now there is literally a mountain of boys' clothes in their bathroom. I'm slowly chipping away at it. I need two washers and dryers too. I think I know what my next thing to save for is going to be...LOL

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Thou shalt remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long upon the land.
Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
[I can't remember number eight, but it's important]
Thou shalt not bear false witness.
Thou shalt not covet.
Mother is always right.

Okay, I looked just now and cheated on number eight.
