NightSG

I can freely seek other employment at any time. (And if I had to work Sundays without some serious additional compensation, I would.) Sort of hard to just pull your kids out of government schools unless you have either the time to homeschool or the money for a private school. While there are generally alternatives for the (usually P.E.) requirements that these activities fulfill, being stuck in the generic class lacks a lot of the prestige that, for example, debate would bring for one seeking admission to a law school.

And there are plenty who should podcast their testimony: Anti-insomnia podcast.

French cuffs and fun cufflinks (pewter Millennium Falcons, silver/red Rebel Alliance insignia, or silk knots in my HS blue and gold) go well with a fun bow tie.

My personal favorite is another lucky Goodwill find; black with multicolored narrow vertical stripes French cuff fitted dress shirt that looks like it was custom tailored for me. Partly because it keeps fitting better and better as I drop weight in the gut. Nobody says anything to me because the bishop shows up in black jeans. (With a white shirt, but they're still figuring any unwritten dress code stuff is a lost cause.)

Don't you have some Southern Baptists around you can recruit into raising hell over this? (As long as football isn't affected, of course. It's a holy ritual for most of them.)

But what about pigs? I mean, if it's so wonderful there, there must be bacon there, and that's generally not terribly pleasant for the pig. It would have to be agony for a pig that can't die. Or do they like being dismantled, smoked and fried there?

Elsewhere, a commenter opined that maybe they should just get little fetus tramp stamps for each one, like fighter pilots marking their kills on the plane, so the next sperm donor can keep track.

Got to separate Church and doctrine from "tradition" and "custom;" the LDS Church isn't a cult, but plenty of Mormons make their own.

Same ones who show up to class in "JFK shot first" t-shirts?

I'm one of six people that I know of in my ward who have been in Texas since at least early childhood. Everybody else moved in from some other state. Been the same in most of the wards I've visited.

About five miles south. Maybe it's because I'm a convert, but I've never understood the LDS fascination with packing up and moving halfway across the country multiple times. This ain't the Plain of Shinar, and "leave his father and mother" can be accomplished by moving out of view of their house.

Try being white but not looking it for a good part of the year. I've actually had to unbutton my shirt and show the CBP agent my pasty white chest when passing through a checkpoint coming back from the Rio Grande Valley. Oddly, there's nothing in my lineage (French, northern Italian, Irish) that would explain why I tan as dark as many full-blood Mexicans, but it happens. My granddad could pass for native in Mexico until he tried to speak Spanish...or went in the middle of winter when we're pasty white all over.

How much time was spent fasting and praying to find the absolute worst possible forum software in terms of timing out during posting, multi-posting and failing to quote properly on replies? Never had this problem with phpBB or any of the others.

For many of us, they're simply not there; looking around Sacrament Meeting last Sunday, there were no single women at all between 18-65. same situation at every ward/branch within 30 miles in any direction.

Or maybe it's this guy.

So, do different groups of Satanists get together and declare that another group aren't real Satanists? I wonder what their equivalent of Westboro Baptist would be...

The First Amendment was never meant to imply a right to slander.

Having seen her in person a few years before the pic, I'm not so sure there was that much airbrushing going on. Don't know about the surgery, but one of the local Republican Women's Club members is 64 and could pass for mid 30s if she dyed her gray hair. No surgery there, just a very active lifestyle and a determination to take care of herself for her husband since he takes care of himself for her.

Depends; am I one of them? Because I can think of plenty of adults I'd rather be kidnapped and tortured than have sex with.

An upcoming mission is no excuse for a no-call-no-show on a date, nor cancelling at the last minute with "something came up" unless it's because he's heading to the MTC earlier than he thought. Are you really interested in having a boyfriend who thinks it's OK to flake out whenever it's convenient? I'm going to agree on foregoing the groin kick, but there are a number of mildly painful joint locks that are good for showing him just how much explaining he needs to do.

And the other 15% was trying hard not to. Realistically, when my ex wife and I hit some serious financial hurdles before our first child, one of the best bits of help we got was a local church that gave us a weekly supply of condoms. It was something that didn't cost anything and helped take our minds off the budget for a while each night until things improved.

The way I look at it, like any safety device, it may make one a little more likely to take the associated risk, but I still wear a helmet on my bike nearly all the time, even just for the daily commute where I rarely top 20mph or leave paved roads. I even generally keep condoms available, though the last few years it's been more to hand one to someone else who seems determined to do something they might regret later.

Not really any more than explaining to them that they're a lot better off calling me to come get them if they (or whoever is driving) get drunk. I certainly hope it won't be an issue, but we've all been that age, and things do happen. Refusing to prepare for those things doesn't keep them from happening. Now, that's not to say they'd get a 12 pack every weekend; one, just in case, accompanied by a long talk about why it shouldn't be needed, and replaced when it expires. If it needs replacing before it expires, then the long talk will have to get longer.
