LOL I'll spend $500.00 on a pen

I own several and they are superior writing instruments IMHO

How much do you want to spend? You can't go wrong with a Mont Blanc.

Street smart. Lesson one. Don't mess with other people's wives.

Neurosurgeon, well your super smart why do you need advice from us?

Your like a small child who does not see anything wrong in what he has done. Try being a little bit objective and introspective.

YES!

1. Costa Rica is a beautiful country 2. Good for you, what are you studying? 3. No one said you couldn't succeed in America of course you can this is the land of opportunity.

This. See a professional, your bishop can help you wade through the process of repentance but your root problem needs to be addressed. You are engaging in dangerous and potentially life threatening behaviors.

@MormonGator has it nailed down, are you close friends with her husband? was this a long standing friendship that preceded their marriage? Are you respecting his wishes?

@mormongator

Baring the exceptions @MormonGator I would have a problem with my wife going to lunch or the movies with her single friend. There are thing that are and are not appropriate.

You can be friend with married women sure, as long as it's a hi how are up you? or getting invited over for dinner with your girlfriend. Men and women cannot be friends in the traditional sense of friendship. (there are exceptions) but it requires more maturity and understanding than most people are capable of. If her husband is uncomfortable with the friendship you need to knock it off. Unless you value your friendship with her more than the sanctity of her marriage.

I can discuss my 2 previous callings, both I treated the same way. I created a dedicated email associated with that calling only. I use gmail. This allowed me to setup Google docs for all of the items we wanted to discuss. I created folders for Agendas, Activities, home teaching, Callings, etc, etc. I shared these with the other members in the leadership role with me. We always had an agenda which was updated and added to as we went through it weekly. All had access so if they had an idea they could add it to the agenda. there was no shuffling through papers to find out information as I had links in the agenda that would take them to the folders that had this information. We used the email address I set up to communicate this solves 2 problems. 1. As a dedicated email everyone does not need my personal email address I can keep it private. 2. when they get an email they know that it is church related and are more likely to respond and communicate through it. When I get released the new person coming in gets a email address, and has access to all of the underlying information and work that we have done during our tenure. They don't have to reinvent the wheel they get to pick right up and there is no down time for new leadership to adjust.

I'll jump in, it's this. You need to grow up a little bit and not text married women. Single men can't be friends with married women. You can't text them or go out to lunch or hang at the beach, when you do no matter how innocent it may be this crap happens. People get the wrong idea, a statement or look or gesture gets misinterpreted and you get your temple recommend taken away.

In America we have safe meat processing (in general) E-coli lives in the intestinal tract of animals, not the flesh since we are discussing beef this would be the primary concern. There is some danger that during butchering contents of the intestinal tract may come in contact with or be exposed to the flesh and contaminate the meat. In the US and other 1st world countries this is very rare, for this reason it is safe-ish to eat it rare or medium rare 125 to 135 F. Burn it if you want but when your excess intake of heterocyclic amines causes you to have colon cancer don't come crying to me.

They have gone back and forth on it. I do remember a time when if you had intercourse it was no way no how, but I think the rules have eased up and it is a facts and circumstances issue now.

May as well be eating one of these

The short answer is it depends, stay on the straight and narrow....

Anything more cooked than this and you have ruined your meal.

I'm going to go with symbolism, The number 8 is a recurring theme in the scriptures.

STOP right there. 16yo water heater.....holy cow Buy a new one

So when is the Prophet speaking as the prophet? I would argue that general conference is one of those times. You have made the argument that his words are scripture, but we don't memorialize their words in our cannon. Why not?

Because they are not always right.
