Why would a public library be so heavily involed in anti-LDS literature? How many books are in the library?

Let me get this straight, you were 24 and she was 17??? You might want to head to some place where there are no extradition laws...Besides, who do you know she has, or has not been talking to?

Not a big fan of LDS fiction. Although, I might add I have tried over the years to read it. Children of the Promise might be the last series I have read.

I think my wife and I were the right time, right place, right persons when we met. However, as our marriage has evolved I guess "soul mates" can be applied. I don't think if anything were to happen to her I would be interested in remarrying. But, that is a hypothetical situation. In the end, when the kids talk about us after we have "moved on" I would hope they would say we were good for each other.

Just a note for those of you who might have read Born to Run, Micah True died during a run this last week. The Mexicans of Northern Mexico named him Caballo Blanco because he would often run in shorts, shoes and nothing else, and apparently never really tanned. Some will critisize his running, but he did what he loved, and loved what he did.

Saldrin, nice post. I have actually been in contact with Arthur through teamddpyoga. It is an amazing story. He teaches yoga now (Diamond Dallas Page's version...) and it is a tough workout. I have beenat it for three weeks. Never saw myself as a yoga guy, but after 30+ years of on and off weightlifting, and jogging, something different was in order.

Book fo Mormon Compendium by Sjodahl and Reynolds.

I have struggled mightily (as they say) over the last several months, maybe the catalyst was season affective disorder, but I read every book written by Richard Dawkins, and Chris Hitchens, and thought Secular Humanism might be the route for me... Then, for whatever reason, I am starting to push out of the funk. I have come to realize, that many are called, but few are chosen, literally. It is time to get the wheels back on track and start being tough as far as living the Gospel is concerned. Good luck to the rest of you.

Which I guess brings us back to JohnnyLingo's post on page one, cutting portion sizes. Which then could be accomplished by 3 plates of food a day, no snacks? I have been somewhat successful just eating three meals a day, one plate of food per meal. Thermodynamics works apaprently.

I love the Caymans, would live there if I could, tax breaks or no tax breaks.

I believe you are absolutely correct. I see friends (as well as me) hammer double cheese burgers from Wendy's, drink 64 oz. of Pepsi from the nearby truck stop, but will become indignant when it comes to coffee and tea. I don't drink coffee or tea, I eat too much, and I eat way more meat than I should. I drink 44 oz. of Coke regularly. Shame on me. We do pick and choose our poisons.

You're OK with green tea. I have neighbors with cancer and their good LDS doctors tell them to drink green tea. The problem with green tea is too much acts as a laxative. I hate running through the house making R2D2 screams.

There really is no such thing as "righteous anger". I saw someone in Elder's Quorum once throw a tantrum in the name of righteous anger. A fit is a fit. He could just of easily asked everyone to make a better effort on their home teaching. He didn't need all of the hysterionics. Anyway, I try to keep my cool, and usually I'm alright.

Yes, I have two: A Soloflex Muscle Machine that I have had for almost 25 years, and an Iso 7x (Bullworker) which I take with me when I travel. The Iso 7x has been everywhere from Idaho to the Caribbean with me.

Hello, Has anyone tried the Body by Science or SuperSlow weightlifting approach? I have been for the last two months and kind of like it. O43

I jump rope, or ride a Schwinn Airdyne. I can ride the Airdyne in front of the tube.

Lingerie can be an important part to a happy, healthy, marriage. There is a time and place for it.

No...

I don't have any recipes to share at the moment. But, I have started cooking with a pressure cooker on a regular basis. Anyone else use one? Thanks

I have pretty much been on a liquid diet the last week because of a tonsillechtomy and septoplasty. This article made me hungry. I love the Double-Double...

I just went on the No Tonsill Diet. (A pretty traumatic experience for a 47 year old...) I have lost 10+ pounds over the last week. I don't recomend it.

I dislike smoking, and I have lost family to cigarettes. However I dislike moralizing even more and telling people what they can or cannot do.

I had an epiphony last year while lounging in the Caribbean. I was on a small island, no lakes or rivers, etc. I asked a local where they got their fresh water. He immediately took me for a citizen of the United States and explained to me that they desalinate their water. The more I thought about it, the more I thought, that after intial expenses, the US should look at this option. Cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Atlanta, etc. won't be able to keep up with demands. Or desalinated water can be used for agriculture (95% of water in California is used for agribusiness) and stored water can be used for cities. But, Personal water storage is still smart.

I enjoy boxing, and have never thought of watching it as "being a problem". MMA I don't care for. But that is a personal dislike.

I have asked for the Bishopric the think about the calling before annswering. I spend 40+ hours a week working with kids. They asked me to serve in primary sometime ago, I told them fine, but explained to them that the three hours at church on Sunday was one of the few times during the week I was actually with adults, and asked them to take that into cconsideration. A day or two later they called and asked me to be th Gospel Doctrine teacher. LOL, I guess I literally asked for taht one.
