  3. Jury's still out, but then I'm in a bad mood today so I may not mean it when I say the jury's still out although if I was in a good mood, the jury would be in and who knows what they would say anyway because this is California and we're all nuts
  4. I don't laugh because I don't like anyone
  5. Easy, there is no real yardstick to measure success, at least from my point of view. I'm a facilitator at my local ARP group and the way I measure success is in two ways: where the individual "is" at this moment and are they doing a good job at self analysis. Beyond that, it's a crapshoot.
  6. So how is that answer criticizing? You'll find that to have a successful mission you will need to focus on it. The more you put into it, the more you get out of it. Dump her or not, keeping her should not be your priority while on your mission.
  7. Well, according to my stats, I have a 51% laugh rate ((times/laughs)*100). I have no idea what that means except for me to have 51% of anything is pretty keen.
  8. MOE: I'm using Wordpress, the theme is Weaver II and I'm hosting my site with Hostgator. Outside of that, I'm using nothing else. The reason I hosted outside of blogspot.com and wordpress.com is that I wanted to have tons more (and unbelievable amount for the free level) control over my site than the standard blogs would give me. Besides, I've used hostgator for other sites and I'm used to the way it's set up. I also like Weaver II because their free theme gives twice as much control as other free themes and it had the look I wanted; clean, no fuss but still slick and professional. Don't know if this helps or answers your question, but there it is.
  9. So... here is my list of blogs I frequent... Sic et Non RED in Transition Middle-Aged Mormon Man Mini-Microsoft The Presurfer Urban Ghosts And I'll spare you all the tech blogs.
  10. Hey, a little slack... I put this together along with two posts in three days
  11. It matters not :)
  12. I can't get this out of my head whenever I read the subject line...
  13. I couldn't get blogspot to do what I wanted so I went ahead and am now using wordpress. And just because, I bought a domain (Reconverted | One Man's Journey from Excommunication to Rebaptism to Temple Worthy and Beyond) to go along with it. So please give it a look and see if it will fly. I figured after a few more posts that I should really work on getting it out there. Address is in the sig below
  14. I'm just starting off in the whole blogging thing (shameless self promotion) and I would really like to see who has blogs or blogs you like.
  15. I want to blog as a person who has been ex'd, who is not hateful of the church, who is working on coming back to the fold and the events of that journey. I'm not planning on posting sacred things that has happened, but I have come up with 20 topics to write on. But I decided to not use my domain but I'm having a hard time figuring out what URL to give it (that "your_url.blogspot.com" type of thing). So for now, I posted my first post and it is here: "As Seemeth Me Good" So if anyone has a better suggestion on a URL, I would appreciate it. I believe I have a good, unique URL and title that really means something to me (and not in a drug kind of way, puleeez). But please, critique away.
  16. I've come to the point that I believe I'm ready to blog away my experiences and advice as an excommunicated church person and the journey to stay in the faith. I've been thinking of using a domain name I've had for years (slamjet.com, no, nothing's there yet) but I'd like to get some advice before I jump off the cliff. So the open question: What should I know/expect with blogging? And the specifics: How should I begin? Where should I begin? Should I use my domain name? Which is the best/easiest blogging service to use (I am bad at websites, go figure)? Any other advice? Feel free to answer even if to say yes, go for it or no, you're not worthy
  17. When my daughter once poked my finger with her fork and said "Sausage!" The horrified look on her face once she realized what she said had me falling off my chair laughing to the point of major pain and tears.
  18. Nuked.
  19. Congratulations to the Catholics on their new Pope. My Argentine side is now all warm and fuzzy! VIVE ARGENTINA!!!
  20. So much more anti-Valentine's day stuff I can post, but alas, let the lovers out there have their time. I'll have the rest of the year to make fun of them. But have you noticed that the anti-Valentine's day stuff has cats on them? Coincidence? I think not.
  21. I cannot think of any love note that can be any better than this.
  22. I'm with Pam on this one.
  23. I can tell you verbatim what I would say "Well, don't you have an enlightened understanding of what it is to taking care of your calling."
