  1. I usually have a breakfast bar or two for breakfast. on workdays. .
  2. Could you restate that in coherent English?
  3. Call me when the fights get back to how those depicted in Slap Shot, hands down the best hockey movie ever.
  4. Speak with your current bishop/ ward clerk as to what they suggest. My guess is that if you are returning to the same ward in 3 months that you should probably just leave your records in your current ward. When you arrive at your home singles ward, you can just explain that you will only be attending there for a couple months. i would guess that your current bishop could hook you up with a limited-use temple recommend for doing baptisms for the dead before you leave if you desire, especially if you are returning soon.
  5. How do we survive? Very well, thank you. Hockey is basically soccer on ice. People run up and down the rink on skates and once in a great while someone scores a goal. I used to go to hockey games just to see if a fight would break out and make things exciting, but with the leagues cracking down on that it's just plain boring most of the time. Since I don't drink beer I just don't see the point of going to the games anymore.
  6. It wasn't that big of a deal. Lasted 2-3 seconds. Felt like I imagine if a car hit the other end of the house I was in. One jolt and that was it.
  7. Apparently we're having a problem with spell check too.
  8. If someone is getting in my grill about things like that I will resort to "Well, if you MUST know, due to our conflicting schedules I plan on having marital relations with my wife at that time. I'd be glad to come over when we're done if you like, but I'm not exactly sure what time that will be.Can I call you when we're through?" That usually is enough to get the person to back off.
  9. One man's paranoia is another man's practicality. I don't think it's paranoid to take simple precautions to ensure the whole leadership of the church doesn't get entirely wiped out in one tragedy. Now, if they were to house the two Apostles in a sealed impenetrable vault during conference sessions, I could see how some would say that might possibly be paranoid.
  10. What would be the point? If everyone in the Celestial Kingdom performed to their full potential each contest, the end result would be a foregone conclusion.
  11. As opposed to a toprash or bottomrash?
  12. Out loud. It helps others in the room to point at who you're laughing at too.
  13. Those with ears to hear will listen, those who don't will start complaining.
  14. I think a lot of what's being lost here is that Ordain Women has stated what their aim is on the front page of their website. They would have to awfully naive to think that making their communications with the Church public was not intended to shame the church into doing what they want. It's almost as if they don't believe in continuing revelation through prophets, so they intend to get what they want by attempting to bring public pressure on the Church to change. If the Church (which they claim to believe in and love) is truly governed and overseen by Jesus, do they think He is going to change His church merely because the public demands it? Would Christ change His church to conform to the demands of The World? More importantly, should Christ change His church to conform to the demands of The World?
  15. You'll have to wait until next week. This week is mine. And if Wingnut wears her temple dress two weeks in a row, you can claim victory.
  16. I'm going to start my own movement to cut Sacrament Meeting down to 60 minutes. I am asking all members who support this movement to wear a piece of white clothing to church this week. I figure that if I can get 70% of members to do this, the Church will have no choice but to bend to my will. You can all thank me later when this becomes official doctrine to use that extra 10 minutes in Sunday School instead of Sacrament Meeting.
  17. Interesting you should say that. I know of very few people who leave this earth without dying first. Death is a part of this earth experience, and I think we mourn or fear it far too much. He's not dead, he has merely passed on to post-earth life. I certainly won't be celebrating his death, but I don't find the thought of the death of someone who has lived a full life to be sad or not good. In this person's case, it just is, and I won't be celebrating his life, nor the fact that he is no longer on the earth.
  18. Sometimes going to church isn't about what you get, it's about what you give. I've found that the more I give the more I get, and sometimes what I get isn't what I expected.
  19. I lent my lawn rake to my neighbor and he didn't bring it back for like 6 weeks. So I guess you could say I gave up my rake for lent.
  20. They only let jocks live in the North of England? Why don't they like athletes in the South? Is there some kind of law? Do they deport them as children when they show a certain amount of athletic ability or do they wait to see if they're still jocks as adults?
  21. I doubt there will be anything on Google about my username. I won't even bother to look.

    I want Peyton Manning to win, but the Broncos to lose.
