    Heh.  "Green car".   Here's where the electricity will come from to power your battery, and here's where they get the lithium for said battery.

    Maybe Bernie Sanders will rally for free Teslas for everybody.

    Given that I'm having to haul heavy cargo for good distances (30 miles plus) in all sorts of weather and terrain conditions, there's not an existing 100% electric model that would serve my needs.

    Budget reacted to NeedleinA in New Historical Claim Re: Eliza Snow   
    In conjunction with what LP said, here is another source on that by the Church: Our Heritage pg. 50
    The Prophet and the others were first taken to Independence, and then sent to Richmond, Ray County, where they were jailed awaiting trial. Parley P. Pratt was one of those with the Prophet.  He said that one evening the guards were taunting the prisoners by telling of their deeds of rape, murder, and robbery among the Latter-day Saints.
    Book of Mormon shares:
    Moroni 9:9 And notwithstanding this great abomination of the Lamanites,... For behold, many of the daughters of the Lamanites have they taken prisoners; and after depriving them of that which was most dear and precious above all things, which is chastity and virtue—
     10 And after they had done this thing, they did murder them in a most cruel manner, torturing their bodies even unto death; ...

    I'm sorry for the pain you're going through and feeling.  You've had some good advice and support from above - I'd also like to chime in to say I know they do all sorts of blood tests when you are pregnant and test for diseases, HIV, etc. but I'm not sure how long ago your last baby was born.  I'd highly recommend going to get tested for sexually transmitted diseases - all of them - including venereal warts, HIV, etc.  especially since he was with escorts.

    I've been coming here and reading the forum for about 3.5 years.  I've never signed up for an account until now and this is my first post.
    I've enjoyed reading the posts, but felt that I never really had anything worth posting.  In an effort to reach out and change myself and become more socially active, here I am.
    I hope to be able to contribute to some of the conversations in the future.

    YEAH!     I'm glad you went ahead and just asked her straight out - even before you read my reply.  Ha ha.  I absolutely agree; being honest and forthright is the best policy.

    Megs - I'm so very very sorry you are going through this. 
    I read your post yesterday afternoon and I've been thinking about it so very very often since then. I don't typically post on the board - I mostly just read - but your post is really just hurting my heart and I wanted to tell you someone cares.
    My concern is, judging from what you wrote he is showing nothing but hatred towards you. Not one thing in your post showed the least bit of love, caring or compassion.  Just reading it hurt my heart!!!!  I can't imagine.  And to go 2 months without a call and then have him call in the middle of the night only to curse you, and be so hateful!?  My heart broke for you.
    In addition to the wonderful advice already given and using the support the military gives spouses, I would also like to think you should make a 'back up plan' that involves caring for yourself and your children because it sounds like he not only is going to pursue a divorce but he doesn't sound like a nice guy and it will get ugly.  I'm glad you've reached out to his Dad and your Mom, and will be working with your Bishop and others...  it shows you are trying.  But when he comes back he's going to be dealing with some pretty heavy emotional, mental and maybe even physical issues that are even worse than before he left.  ( I do under the post traumatic stress syndrome as my brother served 3 tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and had things happen that still affect him even though he's been home for a while.)
    It doesn't sound like he is including you or the children in his future...  you should be prepared for this.  I don't hear any love from him in your post at all.

    So, I've only read page two of this thread.  I see letmeoff, a brand new poster from Australia who identifies as a biotheist, telling Eowyn she needs to get out of her comfort zone because she raised an emoji eyebrow at his claim Adam and Eve "were created as bioelectrical pairs".
    Kind of makes me think I may not really need to read page 1 to get the rest of the story.

    I say get a spider if you want. But personally they totally creep me out. They don't seem like they belong to this world. Maybe they were left behind by visiting aliens?

    Wow.  It has been over 4 years.  I had nearly forgotten about this post, but I'm sure some random internet lurkers are bound to happen upon this thread and want advice about their own situation or just want to know how things turned out.  First of all, thank you all for the advice.  To all the lurkers, there is some awesome advice here.
    I married her!  Never regretted it!  We're loving life.  Now, a few things that I've learned:
    1. She was never the problem.  It was always me (basically, I was an idiot).
    2. The idea of virginity is just that, an idea.
    3. What matters most is that you're best friends.  Best friends are loyal to each other no matter what happened in the past.
    4. The past isn't real.  The present is everything.  The future is a dream.
     
    My advice, is that if you're in this type of situation, get over yourself.  Assuming your significant other is completely loyal to you, if you still find yourself "haunted" by their past then the most important thing you need to ask yourself is, "Can I be the spouse my SO needs?"  If the answer is no, then stop jeopardizing your SO's happiness by constantly dragging your thoughts through the nonexistant past.  Get out of the relationship for their sake.  If you can honestly answer yes, then go for it.  You've got an entire lifetime to make amazing memories together.
    I was taught growing up that it was better to die than to lose your virtue.  I disagree with that.  I was also taught that those who had lost their virtue were like "licked ice cream" or "chewed gum".  That way of thinking is wrong, and it's very harmful.  Let go of that type of thinking.  It benefits no one.
    Elizabeth Smart talked about what it feels like to be a "chewed piece of gum" and it sounds terrible: http://fox13now.com/2013/05/06/elizabeth-smart-i-felt-like-a-chewed-up-piece-of-gum/   Don't put your SO through that.  If you're best friends, nothing else matters.
     
    Best of luck to your SO (and you) if you're in the situation I was in.  In conclusion, this image sums it all up:
