  1. 1. Football is dead to me. 2. Nationalism and patriotism are not synonyms.
  2. Is anyone ever ready to have kids?
  3. So, what steps have you taken? Repented? Spoken to the Bishop? Your husband?
  4. I think I'm just amazed that someone is a "writer". I'm constantly writing in my Leader's Book and I DO like nice pens, but I lose them so fast I'd never spend money on one.
  5. In some arenas, I'm fine with that. Change won't come until a few people lose eyes.
  6. Matt Walsh had a great podcast last week. He was talking about the case of the baker who wouldn't make a cake for a same-sex wedding and its upcoming decision. He spoke about how for decades conservatives and libertarians have been sitting back saying "you do your thing, just leave me alone". They never do. Now it's time for non-liberals to push their agendas.
  7. What's the backstory on the fountain pens?
  8. I appreciate the offer but it’s not a ton of money. It was just the principle. $10.50 to buy a jar and $14.00 to shop two jars. Amazon carries it, too.
  9. I went to go order a jar. It costs more to ship it than the jar costs.
  10. Why not join overdrive or your local library?
  11. I've used Barnes & Noble, Kindle, and iBooks. I've enjoyed them all, but I typically use iBooks now because of the flexibility between platforms.
  12. Exactly! My wife is perpetually mortified because I talk about things in public that shouldn't be talked about, but in a way that only she knows what I'm saying and everyone else thinks I'm talking about something else. I don't know why she stays with me.
  13. Sounds like a smart man. I'm not very easily intimidated. I'm a man. I put on my pants just like everyone else.
  14. No, you just need to change your delivery so you're laughing inside but they are unaware you throttled them.
  15. My wife says when I'm displeased I switch into my "Sergeant Grunt Voice". She's amazed at the reaction people have to it when they don't know me. It's not a conscious thing at all.
  16. Stephen King has a screw loose. I won't watch or read most of his stuff.
  17. I have far too many years as an NCO to take someone yelling at me.
  18. Interesting. That seems like an odd relationship in a religion to me. The Bishop cares about you. He's there to help you in any way he can. Come to think of it, I don't particularly worry about any mortal. Maybe I'm the odd one.
  19. Why so much anxiety over meeting the Bishop? Is this normal, or are you normally like this (not meant as an insult. The Bishop asked to meet with ME a few weeks ago and my wife was sick about it. It's her personality. She gets nervous about everything).
  20. What's a MoTab?
  21. I finally just came to this level of "not understanding". Some things I've just stopped trying to reason and either accepted or not.
  22. Wish they made it for my Keurig.
  23. I believe what I believe. If that reconciles your doctrine and my faith I don't see an issue.
  24. Thanks! When I was struggling with WoW one of the things I suggested was that I just drink decaf coffee. It was said to me at the time that the WoW says nothing about caffeine. I'm free to drink caffeine, but certainly not coffee since that is what WoW forbids.
  25. I've seen that, but under which part of the WoW do people think is prohibited?
