It is the law. It makes me feel so good to have you remind me of it. Yep. Every person I meet outside my house could very well be carrying their favorite 'toy'. Hey thanks for the reminder! I am thinking I am glad for internet shopping.

I know a couple of others who turned 31 and were very upset to be out of singles ward. They felt that they had failed and now were put on the shelf forever. They felt insulted and stabbed in the back. I can understand being upset but is it worth denying yourself church activity? The ladies are not going to be impressed at your becoming inactive over it. Not the ones you would want to marry in the church. So why dont you just ask the girl to marry you and then you wont have to be concerned any more about it?

Only thing I have to offer is that when I was pregnant I got to know my children. They were all different as they are different now. I have lost babies in miscarriage and one was born stillborn so I do have some experience with this. For me they were different than the babies who lived but not in any lack of personality/spirit. Often times they seemed to leave for a time but then return. How could this be if they were not bodies with spirits? I believe this is something that you have to pray about and work out in your mind. If your son and daughter have received comfort then let them have that and seek your own. What ever the technicalities are you can receive that comfort.

You have to do what feels right to you. One thing you dont need is added stress so if telling people, at this point, gives more stress then dont. If it would help you to have help or understanding from others then tell. One thing you might consider is talking to the bishop and relief society president. They may have ways to help now or if you need help as you go along in your treatment. You could ask for their confidentiality until you are ready to let others know.

Some areas of the world do this due to legal issues in certain countries. Its no problem to me how ever they want it done.

None. I am explaining why I would object to people having guns around me. If we knew each other and we had any interaction I would object to you having guns around me.

I detest being called honey. It sounds so insincere. Not fond of baby either.

My problem with gun is that while I am comfortable with them and I know how to treat them safely, I do not trust very many other other people to be. There are too many nutcases out there and they ALL have guns. There is no way to tell who is capable of handling them safely and why should I trust them? I dont know them. Most of you seem fairly intelligent and safety conscious but nope. I dont trust any of you with guns. There is no way that is going to change. I see no valid reason to encourage others to own guns.

Does he have other good friends he can talk to? The fact she wants to chat all hours might be her big attraction. Otherwise it just may be that the doesnt know how to scale their relationship back. It cant be easy to tell a girl who has told you they love you that you are not feeling that way. Its easy to get trapped and feel defensive. By the way men can be less overt, more subtle and sometimes/often more devious and downright vicious, Vort.

We bought an old house. The wiring is inadequate and we have replaced the plumbing. The roof needs replaced and a joist sags. On the other hand the materials are real. We have that wainstotting ceilings. After we took down the fiberboard fake ceiling. It can be a lot of work but I do love it. I completely agree with ClassyLady. Get a good inspector to go over it and do a realistic calculation on repair costs.

My brother and his son are in NH working right now. At the nuclear power plant in SeaCrest? or something like that. :) He said they had a very nice ward there.

Your partner is clueless. Probably has a good heart etc but still clueless. Good thing you talked it out with her. Now maybe she will share. Then again maybe not. It makes sense to just check up on them yourself. Then you can give her a call to let her know next time. :)

I got a letter asking this the other day. It was shocking to see it was for me. Guess the ward clerk isnt very sharp. :) As far as phone calls go yes that is what they do to locate members who records need updating. We have had requests for a couple of our kids like this.

Final Fantasy 11. :) I know a few LDS players but we are scattered in what we call linkshells, which are groups that play and chat together. I have been in linkshells that used a voice chat service but unless you live alone it is not really practical. The language was worse too so had to be constantly turning it off. If you do a game with social chat groupings it probably would pay to be the leader so you have control over language and who is in it.

Excellent choice!

My oldest son would be 38 this month. I cried. I worry about my kids. We all do. If mine was biking on a busy highway I would worry a lot. Long time ago we lived in the Bay area. there are numerous bridges there. High bridges. There are also numerous earthquakes. I have a good imagination. Everytime we went over those bridges I spent the time worrying about how to save my numerous kids if there was an earthquake and we fell into the bay. I HATED going over the bridges and would avoid it as much as possible. One day I realized my fears were from not trusting God. If we fell in the bay we might survive. If not we would go to the spirit world. Which ever one it was would be fine. God would take care of us. All of us which ever happened. We have to live our lives this way. We send our kids off to live their lives and make mistakes and even die. This is what life is about. We chose it. Even the worrying and fear are part of it. In the end it will work out and will be good. I am in no way criticizing. I know it can be so hard. My son was a baby and sometimes I think we were blessed because it would be so much harder to lose, for this life, a child older. There is no way we would want to ever go through it again. Who would? It would be UNNATURAL to not have fears such as you have today. Accept the fear and know that God will be there no matter what happens in life. If your child or mine die today we know they are in the next world waiting for us. We have that testimony from when we lost our children dont we. Let God give you comfort and He will. He did for me. I still worry and I still cry but not with despair.

A week or even two is not long. I would go home. Lots of moms dont see their kids even yearly. Driving the dark when you are frightened is not a good thing. Worrying your husband is not a good thing. Dinner isnt worth it.

Crazy. Well she was preforming in fact. It is what politicians do. I can think of a number or reasons she might not wish to wear garments. Some rude so I will keep those to myself. One excellent reason might be so IF the skirt rode up her garments would not show making them fodder for hate photo ops. Personally, if she is not wearing them I am going to suspect that was the reason. Lately I have been exposed to an annoying number of photos showing huge disrespect so would be happy to see she prevented that from happening.

Seems like a thoughtful article to me. If we want to learn to deal with pedophilia it makes sense to try to understand it and then to work to help people keep from acting on their inclination. It makes sense to me that there are people who fight this so why shouldnt they be treated with respect? I have noticed there are two kinds of people in these situations. The ones that enjoy their sins and those who fight the desire on a daily basis. I dont think we are going to reach the ones who enjoy their sin very easily. The others deserve whatever help they can get including our compassion but not our rage.

lol I know. Just read this one on facebook. It was startling.

Well its a well known fact some people are just hard headed. Nothing will get through to their brains.

Physics helps us in this life. it is well worthwhile learning as much as you can if your talents go in that direction. That said my personal opinion on physics, astrophysics and astronomy is that they are mythical. Sure there are grains of truth, sometimes even a lot of truth but on the whole it is not very scientific. If it were scientific then why did the facts about, hmm was it Neptune, turn out to be 50% wrong when a probe was sent there? I like the links I posted from Miles Pelton. Now I dont know that he is right on anything or even close but at least he is thinking. And he admits he has a lot of work 'refining' his theories. I really like that. All to often scientists think that they are right, no matter what, and if you question them, they automatically scoff at your question and call it religious fantasies whether its religious or not. lol. ya I have run into a few. Quite a few. I love a good discussion but not if its really a lecture to 'correct' me.

Could be someone was mean who smelled of chili?

I am making a constant study of English. It is a very difficult language because of all its inconsistencies.

Sounds like you need outside stimulation. Have you considered classes? You can take them in your home now so dont even have to find babysitters etc. You are not your house. You are not your family. Taking care of them is necessary but you need to not forget you are a person with interests and talents of your own. What are your personal goals? No not raising your kids or being a good wife. What are your goals? Do you have a talent that you would like to develop? For instance, do you like geology? Do you find chances to read more about it? Do you consider classes to learn more? Do you find ways to use that knowledge in your life? Geology is just an example. It could be weaving or landscaping or accounting. It doesnt matter what it is except that it be something YOU are interested in. When you always subvert your own interests in the interests of others, after awhile it can not help but be depressing and discouraging. We have to take care of our own selves too, in order to thrive. If we keep ourselves healthy then we are better able to address the interests of those we love and care for.
