NP, I will search caffeine elsewhere..

Caffeine Content All figures are approximate, especially with coffee. Different varietals can have different caffeine content, and the way the coffee is roasted can also change the values. Double espresso (2oz) 45-100 mg Brewed coffee (8 oz) 60-120 mg Instant coffee (8 oz) 70 mg Decaf coffee (8 oz) 1-5 mg Tea - black (8 oz) 45 mg Tea - green (8 oz) 20 mg Tea - white (8 oz) 15 mg Coca Cola (12 oz can) 34 mg Pepsi (12 oz can) 38 mg Barq's Root Beer (12 oz can) 22 mg 7-up (12 oz) 0 mg Chocolate milk (8 oz) 4 mg Dark chocolate (1 oz) 20 mg Milk chocolate (1 oz) 6 mg Ben & Jerry's Coffee Fudge Frozen Yogurt (8 oz) 85 mg I just pulled the above off About.com. I was recently at BYU at the Cougareat area, and a group of men were handing out drink samples. Of these samples, usually it would include a green tea product from this company. I asked "don't you also have a green tea", his reply was "BYU is caffeine free campus". My question is: With the large chocolate counter at the Book store. A lot of people in this thread has said they love Dark Chocolate. What is the difference between Green tea and Dark chocolate..when they have exactly the same amount of caffeine... Just curious....

There is ALWAYS something to do at any job other than FB or surfing....Sounds like a lot justifying going on here..

Ceeboo, I was watching your avatar (it is quite mesmerizing), and I know why you've been so tired. That avatar is not actually an avatar, it is you, isn't it? You have very good facial control. :lol:

Ceeboo, I've got a small story for ya. A woman I knew had been to Planned Parent hood many times, she had been convinced to get an abortion. The day she arrive for the procedure, for some reason, it wasn't opened yet. While she was in her car sobbing, she noticed a person going into the bldg next to PPH. It was the Pregnancy Resource Center here in Salt lake (they encourage everything except abortion, mostly adoption). She decided to go into the PRC. After talking with this person from the PRC, she decided to keep the baby and adopt it out. She was not encourage one time to keep the baby at the PPH, PPH pushed abortion, abortion, abortion. I know a family who was not able to have children, that now has a child......

Look in the BYU Bookstore, in the center, lots and lots and lots of fudge/chocolate.

True, concerning the story above. So your saying before we feed these people, the leaders who are there for the sole purpose of witnessing to the people in need, should either board a bus or step behind a truck in order to pray and give thanks for this food these people are about to receive? A lot of people did not listen to the pray, but, a few did. This is what impacts peoples lives.

Nice try MHW, We do not do it for everyone to watch, we are giving thanks, period. We are not embarrassed or have any discomfort to pray in public. We will help at the 400S overpass here in SLC, it is a Christian program to feed the hungry. The leaders pray before everyone eats. For this group of 300-400 people, that prayer is the only one they will probably hear in that week. Yes, some only care about the food, but, others are quite thankful. And Yes, I am shaking my head. Most LDS on this thread, have said, "it is uncomfortable to pray in public". I'll say it again. I think We can handle a little discomfort, as Jesus did when he was on the cross. Obviously, we have different beliefs. The people I know, don't let their feelings get in the way of giving thanks, no matter where it is.

Public Prayer At times we may be asked to offer a public prayer, perhaps in a Church meeting or class. When we receive this opportunity, we should remember that we are communicating with Heavenly Father, not giving a public sermon. We should not worry about what others may think of what we say. Instead, we should offer a simple, heartfelt prayer. Pulled off lds.org. According to your LDS website, you should have no problem praying in public.

Look what the search of ashamed came up with. 1. Ashamed, humiliated, mortified refer to a condition or feeling of discomfort or embarrassment. Almost everyone mentioned being uncomfortable in their posts about praying in public. For a church who claims to be the "only true" church and claims complete authority, it seems funny, that most LDS would take the position of praying in their vans/buses before they eat at a restaurant. Every true Christian I know, prays in public before they eat or at any function (public or not). It reinforces what they believe and represents to others what they believe. Nothing like seeing a 20 top praying. It makes what they believe even more powerful..They don't care what other people think.

It seems a lot of people brought up the same word to describe why they do not pray in public. Most replied, we do not feel comfortable. I personally am not ashamed of it, I am impressed when I see families praying. It adds to their testimony....It shows their committment to what they believe. Honestly. I don't think Jesus was comfortable while he was on the cross. I think I can handle just a little discomfort for a worthy cause.

I couldn't for the world tell what you all were talking about. Slip of the brain. It is kind of like the LDS sitting around on lsd, while using dsl. J/k

I have lived here in Utah for a long time and I know many LDS families and families of other beliefs. I have also seen many of these families in local restaurants. My question is: I have noticed that all of the LDS families I know, do not pray in restaurants. I have been in local wards and stake houses, and lds do pray before meals there. Why not in restaurants? I do see young lsd at BYU praying before their meals, but not at public restaurants. Just curious..

That is an excuse. I personally know a few women who have raised/homeschooled and worked from their home. They did quite well. Like I said it is about choices and priorities.

That is not true, if you really want to home school your kids, you can down size. It just depends how important it is to you, what your children are taught. When our state decided to teach "Alternative Life Styles" to 2nd graders back in 1995, we decided our kids will have no part of it. We have home schooled our kids for the last 18 years. It is a choice....Should I buy the nice BMW? Do we need the house with the 3 car garage, or can we get away with 2 garage? Do we need that new boat? It is a choice... I had a lady who wanted to home school, I told her your going to have to downsize, she said "my husband will never get rid of his new durango".. It is all about priorities..
