What things would be good to send in a care package to a missionary?

I'm guessing the CTR condoms are a "no" as well.- 20 replies

Given the lack of respect for Church standards at some of the single adults activities I've been to, I half expect to see these on the tables next to the Hershey minis at a singles conference soon.

If you can still snag the deal, FreedomPop had the Kyocera Hydro Icon with activation and a month of service for $40, then you can easily switch it to an unlimited data (1, 2 or 3GB/mo at full speed, then unlimited throttled) for $35-50/mo. Throttled still works fine for Pokemon Go, as long as you don't have too much running in the background. Bonus; it's waterproof to 1m, (IOW, splash resistant and would probably survive a dunk in the toilet) and replacement batteries are about $6 on Amazon. (Good thing, too, high-drain apps killing the battery all the time will cripple one in a few months.)

Meanwhile, Catholics who are Zen Buddhists just don't care, and Catholics who are Rastafarians are too stoned to reply.

Well, if you did your own maintenance, getting something from Craigslist or BikesDirect tuned up right is usually fairly easy. Find yourself a tourer or a CX bike with good rack mounts and you can haul plenty of groceries.

I'm usually on the bike, and when I just want to meander slowly, (eggs don't incubate over a certain speed) I shut down Strava and fire up Pokemon. OTOH, bike commuting since April has me down 4 inches in the waist, my calves and quads are looking great, and I'm back to the good side of the moobs<->pecs continuum.

I have to say there are quite a few people around the local university now walking several miles a day staring at their phones that I doubt walked more than a few miles a month previously. And now that the once-rarely-used bandstand is the center of three very closely spaced Pokestops, and has several electric outlets for folks to top up batteries, it's become quite a popular hangout, getting people out of the dorms and chatting while they wait for the next critter to spawn.

I've met some who avoid Dr Bronner's Peppermint Soap because it's made from hemp oil. I, OTOH, am just very careful with it based on personal experience. Concentrated peppermint soap is an epic understatement in this case. You don't have to smoke it to find yourself rather...motivated. (Imagine getting a full body rubdown with Vicks. When the label says "dilute heavily," it's serious about that.)

Pretty sure Arthur C Clarke's The Nine Billion Names Of God (among plenty of other works) is still sci fi.

The right option isn't there; rather than marrying someone because you think you can live with what they've done, how about marrying someone because you don't want to live without who they are and are trying to become?

Finally told my wife, I cheated, lied and I'm leaving. Help!
NightSG replied to NeedleinA's topic in General Discussion
Does it really matter? For all the Scriptural value of the Pauline epistles, they get picked apart verse by verse anyway. Might as well just sort the verses alphabetically, as rarely as anyone reads more than two or three consecutive ones together. Maybe that's a form the Bible should be available in; totally alphabetized by verse. Better than some of the options out there. -

I'm somewhat disappointed that I made it about through up, up, down, down and skipped reading the rest of the sequence because I still remember it. Why can't I reuse those brain cells for something useful? Grabbed an emulator a few months ago and started playing Legend of Zelda for a bit. Still remembered where nearly everything was. -
"White Elevators" sign spotted at Republican National Convention

Because they'd be admitting that they're also singling out Native Americans and sad people, while still making everyone else take the stairs. -
That seems to simply state that it can't be removed by one party to the agreement. Both parties can alter the agreement by mutual consent, and we can assume HF consents when a person exercises their agency to dissolve such a covenant, in the interest of preserving agency itself.

Meh. Check out most rural areas around here; you'll always find some "farmers" crying about how the farm only made $5k last year. Never mind that that's after buying an $80k "farm truck" and all sorts of other "employee benefits" that they're dodging taxes on.

Well, with all those cats, I should be able to attract - or at least equip - some single women.

Are we thinking of the same Yao Ming? I wouldn't be surprised if his calves are proportionally equivalent to mine, and even side by side with Shaq, he doesn't look underdeveloped. A lot of that is also where it's used; someone like Johnny Hoogerland is undeniably among the highest endurance athletes in the world, at least in terms of lower body. I guarantee I can find a high school weight lifter that will make him look like Pee Wee Herman by comparison. Just within pro cycling, comparing climbers to sprinters to mountain bikers to cyclocross pros, you'll see a wide range of muscle development levels even among the same level of athletes.

This. If you ever get the opportunity to see someone who's good with a sling hunt with it, it'll give you a whole new appreciation for how effective they are. It will pretty much decapitate small animals at medium range, and cave in the skulls of larger ones, so I'm sure the relatively bloodless pictures of Goliath getting hit are extremely tame compared to reality.

Apparently not directly as a whole anymore, but they certainly do still get special privileges that cost government money. I can remember Scouting trips with a multi-day drive, where we stayed on 2-3 military bases during the trip. Certainly not an accommodation available to the average traveler, and I've heard of more recent trips where the same was done. Estimates for Jamboree back when it was still held at Fort AP Hill were around $2 million per event in DOD funds used to prep, host and clean up.

Why can't young married couples serve missions?
NightSG replied to tcrab's topic in General Discussion
Not necessarily. I have a good friend who knew from the time she was 14 that she would never be able to have kids, and another who learned at 17 that he would never be a (biological) father. He wasn't comfortable with adoption until well into his 30s, and had been married about 10 years at that point, so there would have been plenty of time for a couples mission in there. -

NightSG replied to tcrab's topic in General Discussion
My area is so poor, we only get a hamburger presidency. But what if one cannot be a father for some reason? Certainly, one can be the best husband possible while serving a couple's mission together, or the whole concept fails. IMO, if that situation arises, the local leadership should pass it up the ladder and see if the FP will grant an exception. Maybe even encourage such for couples who can't have children. -
No good; remember the screens are flat anyway, so killing his depth perception by yanking one eye out wouldn't really change much.

Hate to break it to you, but divorce is just putting on paper what your "husband" has already done; you don't have a marriage anymore. If this had happened for a couple months after some significant event, that would be one thing, but he's been using you for over a year now. You're not a wife; just a sugar mama.
