  1. You have received some great advice :] I guess I don't really have anything different to add, other than to reiterate and say, forget the girl and focus on your goal. And like another member had pointed out, you'll always have temptations, even after returning from your mission you'll face temptations. So what better time to discipline your mind and body, than right here and now? Be strong and wishing you the best!
  2. Gwen, that's a good question :] I tend to believe that if it's not a health issue for the child, to leave it be and allow them to opt for surgery when they are of age. But some things are best addressed earlier than later. Especially if it's an abnormality that is likely to draw negative and unwanted attention that can be potentially damaging to the child's self-esteem and self-image in general.
  3. ^ How exciting! And that sounds delicious!
  4. Pinay here! It's been a long time since I've been to PI but I'd really like to take hubby there to see how beautiful it is :] Ahh, the memories. And regarding pancit, my husband loves that stuff so I end up making it all the time!
  5. I don't know if it's flirty but we goof around a lot together and we have a good time doing it! He likes to hassle me in the kitchen when I'm trying to make dinner, usually 'the poke' happens and I'm forced to stop whatever I'm doing.. Then there's a struggle (a playful struggle) before his charm kicks in :Þ
  6. The only thing I'd ever consider is a breast augmentation. But I don't even feel that strongly about it. My husband is supportive either way but prefers me natural. Going under the knife is a very personal decision. It's your body, you live with it, you make the call.
  7. Spending an excessive amount of time playing video or PC games when you have other responsibilities to attend to, is unacceptable in my book, period. An hour here or there to unwind and kill some idle time is fine but not when you lock yourself away from interacting with your spouse, kids and loved ones in general. I truly believe this can become an addiction and a hazard to a relationship. In my marriage, I'm the gamer but I know when to pull the plug. This summer I chose not to work and take a vacation from my job. It's been easy to sit on the computer and play my Sims or mess around with Photoshop for hours on end. But the moment my husband walks through the door from being at work, I know it's time to turn it off and be with him. Occasionally we'll sit on the sofa and play Resident Evil on console together. But otherwise, solo-activities are out the window.
  8. Anything is possible with Photoshop. Especially if the artist has got some mad skills. You'd never know what's real and what isn't. Seriously.
  9. I have never been inside the temple, apart from doing baptisms for the dead as a youth, which was a long time ago. For me, I've never had this overwhelming feeling of needing or wanting to go to the temple. This I'm certain is due to my lack of knowledge and understanding of the full importance of the temple. If my husband and I changed our lifestyle and became active church members, going to the temple would definitely be a priority, I'm sure. Having said that, my parents are very active church members and they do temple work whenever they can. I know my father especially finds joy in this and has on numerous occasions expressed to me the blessings reaped from being worthy of and going to the temple.
  10. I did TKD for a year but quit after that despite my teacher telling me I had a lot of potential. One of these days I may return and take it up again but only as a hobby of course. My husband is really into Jiu-Jitsu and we're both hardcore fans of the UFC: MMA.
  11. Thank you, Pam! I knew there'd be other Utahns around these here parts ;]
  12. You need to have your head on straight to go into the mission field. If your girlfriend truly loves and respects you, she will be a pillar of support for you through this process. Having gone through similar situations myself as a youth, I knew that to avoid temptation, I would have to avoid certain situations all together. Layoff the "hot-n-heaviness" for awhile and reevaluate what you really want for yourself and your future. You're doing the right thing :] Good luck!
  13. Congrats! And I have a Blackberry too. Those little gadgets can be difficult to breakaway from, especially when it's attached to your hip, like mine is due to my job. Now back on topic! If you haven't already figured it out, you could do something simple, like a romantic picnic-dinner somewhere very scenic and peaceful. You could prepare the meal and set it up for her as a surprise. She'd love it :]
  14. I had the same experience.It's awkward and uncomfortable for both parties when the "checking up on" is solely a duty and not done because of genuine concern etc etc.
  15. I'm not sure who that is or who they are but it's amusing nonetheless :]
  16. Just wanted to introduce myself before taking off to explore the forums :] I'm Bini and I reside in Utah with my husband. We are both baptized members of the Church but over the years have become inactive due to one reason or another. I hope to find inspiration here and perhaps build some friendships.
