No such number. I learned that in math class. The number is one hundred one. One hundred and one is an equation, not a number.Or it could be:
one hundred and one

Even when our kids leave the house we still have a responsibility to teach them. You have every right to be firm with him and tell him that what he's doing is wrong. Allowing him to do it is condoning his behavior, and that's not acceptable.

As long as you agree with me and give me lots of praise we'll get along just fine.

Ever notice how the cultural acceptance of a made up word lands that word as part of the official language? 'Sticktoitiveness', 'spelt', and 'bling' are all in Webster's dictionary.

GrammarAlso I was hoping we could get back to just posting pet peeves and not going off on wild tangents about dictionaries and grammer.

I'm aware of that now, but she prefaced it by saying Utah shouldn't be capitalized. She said "capitalizing words that shouldn't be capitalized" instead of "not capitalizing words that should be capitalized."The_Jason..Elphie was saying that when someone refers to the state of Utah, they should not capitalise the word state but people often do as in..the State of Utah...
It didn't make sense the way she worded it.
-
Merely trying to clarify. She typed one thing but implied the opposite.Grammar police.
-
Then this sentence doesn't make sense. Perhaps you meant to say "When people don't capitalize words they should, such us...."When people capitalize words they shouldn't, such as state of Utah, director of Personnel, department of Records, etc.

When does Utah not get capitalized?9. When people capitalize words they shouldn't, such as state of Utah, director of Personnel, department of Records, etc.

When did the word "like" replace the word "said" in the English language?
"I'm like 'How are you doing?' and he's like 'Fine. How are you?'"

Sticktoitiveness
What the...?

I could care less.
So that means you really do care, because you're capable of caring less, right? Did you mean you couldn't care less?

SUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How ya been? FYI, look at the top right corner of your last post. It says how many posts you have.congrats my friend!!!! i wonder how many posts i have.... how do i tell? oh wait! there's a counter somewhere....i know. now what did i do with it?!
and i just wanted to say that i, for one, have very much enjoyed everything you've had to say...even if i didn't agree with all of it and called you a big meanie... you know i only said it out of my great love and respect for you!!

Forgiving her does not mean you have to take her back. Infidelity is pretty much an inpardonable sin in a relationship, depending on how far it went. The decision is yours whether or not to take her back. You are obligated to forgive her. You aren't obligated to trust her.

Well said, Thomas.To be honest, I'm worried that your focus is in the wrong place right now. You wouldn't be the first guy who was "tempted" by a girl right before his mission. Be wise.
The time and place (I think) for romantic involvement like this, is AFTER your mission. Until then, girls are a distraction.
You will do what you want, of course, but I thought I would share my immediate impressions after reading your post. I am sure she is a wonderful gal -- just hold-off on the serious dating and engagement. Stay friends. If it is meant to be, she'll be there when you get home! I promise!

Thank you, thank you. *takes a bow*

I guess this officially makes me an old timer. Sorry you've all had to put up with me for 1000 posts. I'm not sure how you did it.

Who's Pete? I thought he was in love with Jess?But for the love of pete, spend a year in the same town as her before you get married.

It sounds to me like you are jumping the gun a bit. I understand having feelings for someone you met online, but becoming engaged, especially if you plan on serving a mission? That just doesn't make sense to me. You've been talking online and on the phone for 5 months, but you still don't know each other. If you two are meant to be then she'll be there when you return. Your focus right now should be on your mission and nothing else. Plus, you don't want to risk doing something that would prevent you from serving, do you? I'd suggest you both stay where you are until after your mission. There's too much at stake for you to be doing things backwards.

There are many Mormons who believe abortion is acceptable too. That doesn't make it so. When investigating beliefs of the Church, look to the written scriptures and the leaders, not your ordinary run of the mill member.That is what I originally assumed, but there are many Mormons who do not dispute evolution. Since Genesis and evolution appear to be mutually exclusive theories, I was just asking for come clarification.

Nope. There are enough mods in this place who visit the forums often. Between them there should be someone who notices it and takes care of it. I shouldn't have to report it to get it fixed. A mod no doubt has already seen it.Did you report it Jason? Because I didn't see a reported post.

I'm sure the Church's official position can be found in Genesis chapter 1.

This is the very thing I'm talking about.
"Furthermore I am under the impression that the Mormon Doctrine greatly goes against the teachings of the Bible.
I witnessed to two Mormons the other day. Their minds changed on Mormonism. My friend and his Historian father-in-law got two Mormon missionaries to cry because they found the truth. I am asking that all of you hear me on this and open your hearts to the truth, that is the Bible is all Truth and Book of Mormon was forged by a man, not inspired by God."
Tell me that's not contentious or anti.
Please help! I'm active, he doesn't care about church anymore...
