I watched and thought...heh...that would have been me...except I would have kept the gun once I got possession of it...

As near as I can tell, the Church's official position on birth control is that it is up to the couple to decide, and that whatever decision a couple comes to is okay -- not some kind of slap in the face to God or anything like that.
I'm pretty sure that there is a small paragraph (unless it has changed recently) in the CHI that recommends against "permanent" forms of birth control -- the reasoning I have seen given is because of possible regrets later if the couple changes their mind (and only the couple themselves can know if that is a possibility). Even though, as noted by the previous posters, that the Church discourages it, I am unaware of anyone being subject to any kind of church discipline for choosing permanent birth control like this. In my mind, it all comes down to the couple's choice.

And to also point out.  Decaf still has caffeine.  Unless is uncaffeinated there is still caffeine in it.  But as you said, it's not the caffeine that is the issue.

I only wish to point out that the Word of Wisdom prohibition against coffee and tea was not established because of caffeine, so the "decaf" part of this scenario is irrelevant.  Whether you had a cup of caffeinated coffee or decaf, it's the same violation of the Word of Wisdom.  Beyond that, you'll have to figure out how you want to handle this, particularly if you have a worthiness interview wherein keeping the Word of Wisdom is discussed.

My husband feels he now has to grow a beard and buy a plow to be attractive to me. =D

MH friends, I've had a bad word of a day.  My class was out of control: a stealing party, the ADHD bunch were all off their meds/therapy, the one who was smashed by a fridge last year spent the morning in court about it and was thus distracted all day, our grade team meeting devolved into a suspicious rant about other staff and administration, which left me feeling negative, we burned dinner, and my daughter chopped her hair off.
I need Girl Scout cookies, a bubble bath, and my guilty pleasure Amish romance novels.
And yet, I found myself reminded that about this time last month I was in the hospital as my other daughter fought off bacterial meningitis.
I am so lucky my biggest trial right now is a bad day at a job I otherwise love and my kid cutting her own hair.
Rant/acknowledgment of blessings over.

I hear that ....old Trafford.   Would love to see a match there.  Too bad as a missionary in England I wasn't allowed to go.   

See a football match at Old Trafford, preferably against a top tier team, but any game would be cool.
Tour London.
Visit Europe (actually doing that later this year).
 
 

Applegate was in "Don't tell mom the babysitter's dead"  Which is the movie I think Anatess2 was thinking about

Okay don't laugh.  But I watched Adventures in Babysitting last night.   I always loved this movie and I had not seen it in years.  

@mirkwood.  So, my kid made money.  And guess what he bought with it... you'll never guess.

A Mosin Nagant!  Of all things.  I'm still scratching my head wondering what's going on in his brain.  I, for sure, thought he was gonna splurge on iTunes or the App Store.  Oh, and he had enough money left over to go to the range to try it out.  He was excited to show me the difference in the clusters of his scoped .270 Winchester and his new iron-sighted Mosin.  I have to say, he is much more accurate with the Mosin with all 8 holes within an inch of each other on his first outing with the thing!  His Winchester was varying more than a couple inches and he's been shooting that rifle for a while now.
What's interesting about it is... he got the Mosin from a friend who got it from another friend who got it from his grandfather who used that Mosin in WWII.  It's ooooooooollldddd.  But well maintained.

That trigger has a built-in safety, Mirk!  

lol...I can...

As you wish...

I have a legitimate story about a legitimate person who was legitimately triggered. 
I know a lady who was sexually abused and had PTSD. Her boyfriend took her to see a play - A Streetcar Named Desire. They didn't know at the time, but there's a rape scene in that play. When the scene happened, the lady became physically nauseous. She said to herself "Dang I hate when that happens. I'm trying to enjoy a play, but I can't, because I watch this one scene, and then suddenly I'm having to try to hold down my lunch. PTSD sucks!"  Her bout of nausea lasted a good 30 minutes or more. She made herself sit through the rest of the play to prove to herself she could, then went light on dinner.  
I don't think anyone else noticed, besides her boyfriend, who was so apologetic and felt so bad he almost made himself nauseous out of empathy.
She didn't campaign for trigger warnings or safe spaces. She didn't push to have the scene removed from the play.  She just bumped up her level of pre-googling and took fewer risks with her entertainment choices.  She also, over time, saw her PTSD symptoms subside as she moved through the healthy process of dealing with trauma. 
Anyway, anyone want to guess what she thinks about all the nonsense going on in the name of being triggered?
