Yup; those people never address Missouri, Maryland, Delaware and Kentucky, where the Union allowed slavery to continue.

Even better; if you'd all just think like me, we'd all be right.

The internet would be such a lonely place if people did this.

Uh, what else would we do with dead people? Drag them out to the curb on bulk trash day after we go through their pockets?

It's very important; how embarrassed would you be to put the wrong number of candles on His cake? And you just know He's going to have one of those savants who can count them all at a glance show up at the party.

Well, as long as the next dog likes horsemeat...

I think that about sums it up. We'd all do well to apply that to a lot more sins than murder, too.

Hopefully they went to talk to the MP right after; can you imagine having to stay with your mission companion throughout his honeymoon?

Considering his attitude, I'd say he's dead on right about any women that are throwing themselves at him.

I'm still hearing pretty recent complaints of women who were engaged and trying to get the cancellation for a year or more, gave up, got married, requested it again and got it within 2-3 months, along with a waiver so they didn't have to wait the rest of the year after the civil marriage.

And, as I've said before, if you're not absolutely certain you can commit to a one year plan, you have no business pretending an eternal covenant. More or less irrelevant for me, though, since women within 10 years of my age are pretty much all either nonmembers or still sealed to their exes, and it seems the FP is very slow to grant sealing cancellations unless the woman is already civilly remarried to a temple worthy man...effectively requiring a civil marriage first in that case.

They postpone the sports discussions and talk about Sacrament meeting instead.

You mean so there's time to send somebody home to get a white shirt, right? I think I've worn a white shirt to Sacrament meeting three times, and all by special request of certain people. Other than that, I wore one for the funeral of a woman who put a lot of effort into getting me ready for my baptism, and the rest of the time they stay safely in my closet staying white instead of graying like they do if I wear them very often.

Obviously she's observing one of the most prevalent of LDS traditions. It's a sign she's on her way back.

Like a serial killer is going to risk the hassles of divorce.

Yeah; we don't like to use rattlesnakes in the ceremony.

Not sure where you're looking, but when I did a stint as a janitor at the local schools, well over half of the janitorial staff consisted of women who had been doing it 10+ years and had no plans to do anything else with their lives. Same for the waitstaff at the cafes. Maybe a third of the remainder were women working their way through school. Men in those jobs are almost always doing it as a second job, working through school or supplementing retirement income, with the occasional exception who just couldn't hack the grooming requirements to be a Walmart greeter or Waffle House cook.

Didn't they do that with Ted Kennedy for several decades?

Yeah, they're also married.

I can't even find one who won't cancel the first date if something else looks like more fun. Having a hard enough time finding one who won't get drunk during Conference.

I really despise that statistic; it disregards the difference in attitudes. How often do you see a man make a career of waiting tables or mopping floors? Most men in those positions are working their way through school or building capital for some other venture. Many of the women have no future goal. The ones who do tend to end up making just as much as the men, if not more.

Fill the crock pot with pinto beans and leave it on low. Season however you like. When you want a snack, or just don't feel full, graze from the pot. Replacing almost any other food with protein and fiber is a safe bet.

If she's that concerned for the dogs, why not work to keep them from getting lost in the first place?

Only three types of people aggressively run toward a cop who's in the process of making an arrest. He's clearly neither backup nor a lawyer, so that leaves thug.

Hands in full view, no sudden movements, if nobody's giving you orders, then slowly back away until you're outside the mess, then find yourself a comfy spot out of the way and sit down until it's over or somebody tells you otherwise. Carry your ID, wear a shirt, (ever notice on Cops that the guy without a shirt always goes to jail?) and know the real first and last name of anyone you ride with, borrow a car from, deliver a sawed off shotgun and bag of white powder to, etc.
