NightSG

Guys, I'm trying to drop a few inches off my gut, and you're all making me hungry for foods that really wouldn't help with that.

This. I don't much care for mashed potatoes without something to mix in, though I prefer green beans over peas.

Reminds me of a girl I dated several years back; she would always complain about not being able to find swimsuits with a top big enough and a bottom small enough--even in the separates, since the bottom was a junior size and the top was...well...impressive.

Maybe just because it's rude to chow down in front of hungry folks on fast Sunday?

Then it's His decision whether and how your life will be supported. Personally, I've always considered the advice I got from a friend a long time ago to be pretty good. The only things worth getting tattooed on are your blood relatives, (you're stuck with them for this life) dead people, (they don't usually do anything that would change your opinion of them) military service, (another one of those things that would be with you forever in a sense) and useful information. (Like the SSN, medical instructions, etc., though I'd tend to put any of these in the least visible place where they'd still be easily spotted in a situation where they'd be needed; SSN probably somewhere just below the waistband, drug allergies high on an arm, and so on.) I might include a bit of scripture that one actually needs as useful information, since it could serve as a really good lifelong reminder of something that one could benefit greatly from. Having had some anger issues that occasionally pop up when I thought they were gone, I've thought about Colossians 3:8 or Proverbs 16:32 somewhere I'd have to see it every day at least in the shower.

Speaking as a fairly recent convert, (at 35) who spent a lot of my younger years on flirting and flirting to get laid, it can be a path to copulation, but often the only reward I'm after is a smile from a woman who has a pretty smile, a bit more of her time and maybe a good night kiss. There's usually not even a thought toward a second date (and sometimes not even a first) during the basic flirting, but of course, what happens as a result of it may determine a new course. Sometimes, I just get a kick out of being romantic purely for the sake of making sure the next guy who wants to take her out will have to work for the privilege.

Wait...so it is possible to be just a little bit pregnant?

Every pan in the house does not need to be washed (as loudly as possible) while your husband is taking a nap after a 12 hour night shift.

You feel like you didn't do enough on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox, (yeah, come on, tell me that's just a coincidence and not a blatant ripoff of a pagan festival day) like snuggle with rabbits and hunt for fertility symbols?

Great, now we're all going to explode from holding back gas.

This; if you want to define subsistence as being outside of tithed income, then you first have to define subsistence in a meaningful way. Is it the minimum you could subsist on, or is it everything you want that happens to fall in the food/clothing/shelter category? After all, some people have monthly mortgage payments larger than my annual rent. I could eat (well) for a week on what some people spend for a single meal. If I decide to eat steak every night, do I get to deduct the full food bill, or just what it would have cost me to graze off the McD's dollar menu, or even just the price of a week's worth of ramen noodles? Frankly, even if someone wanted to do this, the time spent figuring up the deductions would be enough to get another part-time job.

IMO, if I reasonably control the spending of it, I'll tithe on it. Thus, if mom hands me the exact amount of my rent, (or the amount I'm short that month) specifying that it's for my rent, I don't. (I suppose I could spend that money some other way, but that's like saying I'm not technically forced to breathe. Besides, if mom's paying any part of my rent, it's because I'm otherwise flat broke. Asking her to tack on another 10% seems to defeat the spirit of tithing.) If mom hands me the rent amount rounded up, then I'll tithe on it, assuming it is a gift and not a loan. (If a loan, then tithing from the income I'll be using to pay it back covers my "increase.")

Raised Methodist, converted later in life. Haven't had the spare cash to buy new ones I do occasionally swim with a stainless revolver (and clean it well afterward) but I figured wearing it at the baptism would be tacky.

An LDS gun? Sorry, but mine tend to be Methodist, since they only get sprinkled. If I ever get a good sonic cleaner with a tank big enough, I'll start dunking them, though.
