One like that just down the street. Lumpy's. Satellite, big screen TVs, services seven days a week. And brief is the word for devotional discourses, all right.

There was a famous hamburger joint in Ann Arbor where the cooking area was right along the front counter. You ordered and you watched your order being cooked, etc., while you made your way to the cash register. Said to have converted many to vegetarianism. In fact, some vegetarians would take meat-heads there on purpose.

I hate watching recorded sports. Now if you could only record church meetings. They're as good recorded as live or BYU-TV wouldn't have a whole channel that runs nothing but conference talks and Tuesday Forum speeches.

Couldn't agree more. I think modesty and humility (as virtues) are closely connected.I've seen modest and immodest nude people. (This may anger or annoy some, but I've seen many modest nude people swimming at the old Deseret Gym.) I can well imagine very immodest CTR rings. In fact, I have trouble imagining a modest one, but as you say, it's the intent. If you wear one as a reminder to choose the right, that's one thing; if you wear one to show everyone how virtuous you are, that's immodest. Big, showy, gold, gems on your CTR ring? I don't care what else you're wearing or not wearing; I think I have a good read on your modesty.

I think a lot of the "modest" swimsuits are OK for walking along the beach or poolside or maybe even sitting in a hot tub, but I wouldn't let any friend or child of mine try to swim in most of them. Too much fabric and too much constriction. Is there a BYU women's swim team? What do they wear for competition?

Me too. I have a fondness for mnemonics and turning them into titles. I'm still trying to come up with the story forTimid Virgins Make Dull Companions. A boring story would be easy, but a good one?

Keep soaking alone and use the one-button suit you had when you were born. No wedgies, no chaffing, no binding, and they dry very quickly.Been using mine in hot tubs all my life and it's always worked great. Getting a little wrinkled lately but it's still a perfect fit. Naturally, R.O.

Cafix, Pero, Caro. All contain acrylamide, a carcinogen, but wadda ya gonna do?

I've known many people who find it easier to be active in the church outside of Utah.

Isn't it amazing how easy it is to find reasons not to write? Welcome to the site. (Here's a book I wrote so I wouldn't have to write seminar papers.)

Welcome to the site. Lots of different kinds of people here, which I like. (PS. Just noticed I'm a "Senior Member" now. What?)

Yo. (Strong ties to Oregon, though.)

Welcome! What happened to satan flame? Oh, I see: extra blank.

Anti-oxidant. Latest studies say that it seems to protect against strokes and heart disease and loss of memory in old age. Coffee drinkers have a longer life expectancy.And Postum is no longer on the market.

NFL fans, don't forget that LDS.net has an NFL picking pool on upickem. Join soon because Thursday is the first game of the new season. Once you've registered at upickem, read this posting (here) and join LDS.net.NFL on the upickem site. I'm a Staubach fan (met him once in Viet Nam) for many reasons, but not that high on the 'Boys. I think Romo is a first-rate QB but I keep waiting for TO to stab the team in the back as he has for every other team he's played for. Oh, we have a group here, too. I invite everyone to join either or both. Both is more fun.

No.

Oddly enough, that happens on my very birthday. Don't have rabbit ears, don't have a converter box, don't have cable and don't have a dish. Ordered an HDTV (with an ATSC tuner) just yesterday. I'm hoping it will be here in time for the NFL opener.My two-bit antenna is up in the attic.

So, are we supposed to pick coffee bean? I did. Even though you smell, rather than taste, aromas, I'm off to the kitchen to get me a cup.

I don't want to go all partisan here, but speaking as a one-time lumberjack, I'd give her serious consideration. As the bumper-sticker says:Alaska Coolest State Hottest Gov

Ironically replacing the guy who told us all this morning that Mitt had the VP gig in the bag.PS. Trib has already killed the story.

I'm taller and better looking. Will usually wears a jacket or suit coat; I never do (unless it's a funeral).Pick the one who looks least like Brigham Young and that's me.

The panel is certainly well-qualified and the whole thing will probably be superb from any number of perspectives. But Bagley and the current co-authors have all examined much the same evidence and all are trained historical researchers and they've come to many of the same conclusions and some different ones. (I think; I'll have to wait until I've read the new book, but I've seen many interviews of them recently.) So, to me, to have them all together would be a very strong draw. Even so, if you see someone there who looks like my avatar, that's me. Please say hello. PS. I have a more recent haircut.

That was my read, too. A simple case of some kid being the victim of adult politics.I'm thankful that when I was a kid, there was no TV (at least, we didn't own one) and the adults left us kids alone to have a childhood. If there's a hell, Walt Disney is in it for what he did to destroy childhood.

After Super Bowl Sunday, the TV prospects are so bleak that I've tried to find out where and when my ward meetings are so I can attend. Usually by the time I do find out, it's NBA playoff time and I put off my attempted attendance until after the next Super Bowl.

If Will Bagley is on that panel, I'm there in a flash. Disclaimer: I think I remember Ron Walker from my BYU days and Will Bagley and I were co-workers (and friends) and Evans and Sutherland Computer Company. I think they are both straight-shooters and good guys.
