I don't know the rules on this stuff, but temple clothing and garments, it's part of life in a LDS household. I've handled and washed garments of other people. I've never over thought it and I've never thought of it something to repent of.

I don't know about the young men but when I was in young women's (I think the middle group, don't remember the name, Mia Maids?) there was a whole lot of snark going on. It wasn't obvious bullying. It was subtle enough that teachers didn't catch on, rarely did anyone, but the recipient. There was one girl that was a bit of an odd ball, I don't mean that rudely, she just did things different and to the beat of her own drum. She dressed this way too. And some girls made it a mean point to make comments about it. They'd say at the beginning of class, "Hey Jane, nice dress." And clearly they tried to keep a straight face with these sarcastic grins on their faces. Jane did not follow the dress trends that many of us did. They reminded me of what a primary child would wear, only, in a much bigger size. That was my opinion, and I never said it out loud as to be mean. But those girls did. It was cruel. Anyway. I think adults just need to be a bit more perceptive in these cases. Understanding that even seemingly nice comments can be cruel ones. It's learning how to pick those out.

Just thought of another one for PS4, might be on PS3, as well. Kingdom Hearts 3. I played the first way back when and it's a fun one. Clean, creative, bright and colourful.

Considering Annie, Into The Woods, Night At The Museum: Secret of The Tomb, and Penguins of Madagascar for our 3-year old. I can tell you which one I'd prefer to see out of the lot, but that's mostly irrelevant, as we just need something not too heavy and engaging for our toddler. (I really wish we could take her to see the newest Hobbit but I know that's just too intense for her at this stage, boo!) We're not concerned about crowds, as we're going to try and hit a matinee on a week day, and avoid the masses. So, if you've recently taken your 5 and under crowd to a movie, what was it, and do you recommend it? I think I've listed all of the kiddie movies but maybe not.

I'm not LDS anymore but if I were and actively lived the gospel and my goal was to receive all the blessings that the Lord has promised, I would not be marrying or remarrying someone who is openly against (anti) the Church. To clarify, I think there's a difference between that, and considering dating a non-member or someone who is of a different faith. As harsh as it reads, I agree with whoever said, "She can do better." I think OP can. There are a lot of men out there, many good men, many that are interested in the gospel and would be happy to find a woman to live the gospel with. My opinion, it's not law.

I missed the whole sandpaper comment. Yes, apparently, it is a well known and used technique to reduce wrinkles around eyes and mouth. I wouldn't have thought to go this route but it makes sense as I scan through several articles and blogs on it.

I am addicted to my mobile phone. I'm not a fan of family gatherings. I know way too many 1950's golden oldies songs.

Further, doesn't matter who thinks who is right and who thinks who is wrong. We lost a beautiful young woman, who has left many behind who did care. What can we all learn from this without having vile debates? So sad. There's a handful of us that knew her story long before all this happened. One friend of mine knew this teen in person. Hope she finds peace wherever she is now.

I was hoping this didn't come up here. I knew her, only via online friendship, but I hate all the gossip and speculation on her. It is a tragedy!

PS. I hope they age up the kids from the first Incredibles. Not too much but it's been so long since the last.

They are finally doing an Incredibles 2! I've waited and wished so long. I would have preferred that sequel to Cars, etc.

Me, too.

Sometimes I'm quick to judge others. I eat tomatoes in certain foods but overall ate tomato. I get scared of the dark when I'm home alone.

I've kind of sort of heard about this. Interesting.

I think the account of the parent reading her child's journal is truly a betrayal and can be very damaging. I would never secretly or openly demand the right to read my child's personal journal. Saying that, I have no problem with informing children that parents will be monitoring certain activities to certain extents, such as, having access to all passwords for electronic devices.

Certainly seems to be the case for fornication and adultery, overall. I can't imagine a convicted murderer or rapist not being excommunicated.

This is something to think about. Why after two years is he now ready to try again? Is it a mixture of loneliness and maybe the convenience of OP being single as well (I'm assuming)? My understanding is that second marriages are at higher risk for not working out, and marriages thereafter, the odds are worse. So it's really really really important to reflect on what made life so unbearable (for one party or both) that caused divorce. Divorce is painful enough, it's not something I'd wish on anyone, if they're able to avoid it. Are you avoiding it?

I compare myself to others too much. I talk like a sailor when I'm mad. Some days I wear pajamas all day long.

I would strongly caution remarrying someone you divorced. You must remember the reasons why you divorced.

I would think convicted murderers and rapists are automatically excommunicated, but from my own experience with my ex-husband (and having known the situation of friends) adultery is not an automatic excommunication. In fact, it never happened for my then husband and I know it never happened in the situation of some of my friends. I'm not sure if it's just a case by case basis, but I'd guess, if they started excommunicating anyone and everyone that has committed infidelity (pornography use or physical affair) the Church would lose a lot of people. Perhaps, adultery is more easily repented of and overcome than killing someone? Who knows. I'd be interested in knowing what will absolutely excommunicate someone.

It was an animated short, about 26 minutes run time, titled "Room On A Broom". It's originally a children's storybook, which we haven't read, but I'll be looking for it on Amazon. Anyway, super cute. Intended for youngsters. It has a morale but not as you'd expect. The animations (CGI & stop motion clay) is done well, very colourful and vivid. Great family movie, easy to follow, no excessive dialogue.

Don't know what your frustration is with the Church. That's your business. Just know you're not alone in your feels. Ups and downs are part of life, and it's the figuring out how to respond to those days, which is often the challenge. I am sorry to hear about your daughter. My daughter is close in age. I hope she is doing well. By the way, you don't have to be perfect or know all the answers. None of us are or do. Just listen to your inner prompting and follow your gut.

Having gone through both separation and divorce, I can relate that neither is easy, regardless of what side of the fence you sit. But it's important to understand two things: (1) No matter how much effort one party puts forth, it requires the efforts of both parties to keep a marriage. (2) There is life after divorce, and that life can be happy and healthy. Best wishes.

I was a nurse for a long time. Trust me. You want a doctor who is good at being a doctor. Personality and religious affiliation preferences met are nice, maybe comforting, but not the most vital.
