No one here likes beer butt chicken? Yes, we have beer just for that purpose. To roast excellent chicken on our barbecue. We have many friends that enjoy coffee in the morning. While we have never bought any coffee, we have allowed preparation at our homes. One thing I will not tolerate is indoor smoking.

The short answer is yes. Drugs are still illegal in the US, so no to that one.

Typically banks lend 40% of gross less any payments that you have. Don't forget the possible tax benefits you will receive due to deductions for interest and taxes that you do not currently have available as a renter. You may be surprised at how much this can save, although in the mid west where you don't have to deal with California pricing this could be marginal.

My top five that I have actually visited in order of preference: England. This was the HQ of a large empire, and it shows. Many spectacular buildings, and historical places. The food has improved significantly since I first started going in 2002. Germany This is the model train capital of the world, and that's my main hobby. I've met many fine people from this country that I now count as friends. I have been all over Deutschland and even have studied and picked up a little German language skills. Mexico The variety of scenery and historicity in Mexico is unmatched in the western hemisphere. Food is also awesome. Peru If you have not been to Machu Picchu and Cuzco you need to put it on your bucket list now. It's world class. The Seafood in Peru is world class as well None better and I've eaten in some of the world's finest restaurants. I'll stop at four, because none of the many other countries I've been to stand out in particular. All places I have been have very nice attractions. That's why I went in the first place. The above being said, living here in the USA is still the best combination of lifestyle and value. Except for the politics, I love California. As to weather, scenery, recreation and food options, we have it all. Luckily, the nasty politics (as well as ridiculous housing costs) will keep many people from moving here. We have way too many people now.

You should move to California. No need to go to Canada. There is a large Filipino community here in the Bay Area. Many Filipino restaurants etc. etc.

If you are hot, you should definitely wear a bikini. Acne goes away, hotness doesn't unless you get fat.

We love freedom and hate tyranny above all.

SLC IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A DESERT. This is not news. 😎

I have built more than one fire in rainy conditions. Plenty of dry wood in a thick branch or a log.

You are very young and hardly know this person. Her stating that she's not looking for anything serious is a flag of some sort, and don't get too excited. As Omega said, are you ready for marriage financially as well as biologically? Laying a foundation is important.

Pretty much this. I'm sad for you, but you don't have a lot invested in the relationship. So get ready to make a change.

Uh, No. Alicia much prettier, and a better actress/.

OK OK I confess. I saw Rampage last weekend. Mildly entertaining.

I had never even heard the term masturbation until mentioned by a Bishop in an interview. I had to ask him what it meant. That was a long time ago. I was familiar with other terminology, less polite terminology, of course. When I was in Mutual back in the Stone Age as well, us guys used to ask each other what the term "petting" meant. it dawned on us soon enough, but even then it was very outdated terminology. Do they (the Church) still use this?? I guess I'm getting old.:-(

Nonsense.

It might just be a physical place, but God said it's the Promised Land.

Comics are also available.........virtually.

The real problem with rear view cameras and detection is that one gets used to them and ignores all the beeps. I backed out of a parking spot and into a car waiting for a red light. Totally embarrassing.

I haven't read a book with actual pages since I got my Kindle around eight years ago. The twentieth century is over.......................

Eternity is one Eternal round. One cannot think in terms of timelines regarding God as He has all things before Him, obviating time. Time is a human construct. Our human reasoning tends circular as in your analysis But I don’t think that’s the way things are. There is a famous couplet. As man is, God once was. As God is man may become. This knowledge was restored to us by means of the prophet Joseph Smith. It makes perfect sense, and knowing this, one reads the Bible with new understanding.

I went two years ago on a Murdock guided tour. This was a Mormon moderated tour and our guide was very knowledgeable, although I did not share some of his points of view regarding what we saw. A lot of scripture was study and discussed, hymns sung, and we covered a lot of ground. Locations such as garden of Gethsemane are fairly well known and major cities that Christ was in are also known such as Nazareth, Capernaum, etc. There is some sort of church at every site that’s halfway historical and many times more than one. We went to church at the BYU chapel in East Jerusalem. They have a spectacular view of Jerusalem , floor to ceiling the audience faces during sacrament service. This tour was well worth the $$$$$$ with nice hotels and other lodgings. Most meals included except for lunch. There was also an optional side trip to Rome to see ancient Christian site for three days. Also well worth it. Israel is fascinating and should be on any Christian’s bucket list. It’s great.

Get a good job, and begin your career. Save up and buy a home to live in. Save money as you work hard advancing yourself. Women will find you. You have no hobbies or interests that are fatal to having a normal life.

Don't forget that hay in Spanish is pronounced as ay or long I. Saying hay (as in harvested alfalfa) will get you nowhere. I took several years of German. What is taught is what is known as Hochdeutsch or high German. In many areas of Germany or Switzerland the colloquialisms are so rampant that's it can be very difficult to understand what people are saying. Luckily they understand English. Also true in Spanish speaking countries. The worst is perhaps Argentina.

Caffeine is the addictive part of coffee. Switch to a cola product, or go Mountain Dew.
