    LDSGator reacted to mikbone in Grocery store prices.   
    I live in california.
    The wife does most of the shopping.  Anyway yesterday I bought a few things
    Dozen eggs - free range, organic $9.95
    Pound of butter Land-o-lakes  $8.50
    Rib-eye steak 14 Oz  $34.50
     
    I make good money.  Dropped the steak like a hot potato.  We just had baked potatoes for dinner.
    Bought the eggs and butter but we are gonna start using coupons.

    Yep, anyone is welcome to come here and post, as long as you follow the site rules.   We are not a place to voice criticisms of the church or debate the pros and cons of LDS doctrine or theology, but if ya wanna come talk or ask questions, we're it.
    Mormondialogue.org lets folks debate and criticize their little hearts out, so that's always an option too.

    Exmo lurker( if you exist)-if you want to talk with us, feel free to start. We won’t bite. And if you are nervous, I totally get it. 99.9% of people here, even those I don’t get along with, are wonderful people. So if you are out there, wade into the pool.  
     
    You just might be surprised.

    Apparently we're the the only public site that qualifies as TBM.  And we're "losing it" over this appointment.  Hmm...  Interesting.

    Not even our sister forum MormonDialogue.org, where they literally talk every topic like this to death, are talking about this guy.   
    It makes me wonder - @old, your opening post was a thoroughly researched and documented post.  Did you get this stuff from somewhere, or did you get it yourself?  I'm not demanding answers, but I would be interested if the work is yours or someone else's.

    That’s what scares me the most. I actually want Biden out of office as much as anyone here, but because Trump has some, uh, “baggage” I think the GOP will shoot themselves in the foot by nominating him. Time will tell.

    Actually, I copied your words. 
    Without question the most amusing thing out there is the hard right ranting about stolen elections while the…hard right…tried to overturn…the election by storming the capital. Odd for the party of law and order.  
    I don’t think I’m wrong anymore than you think you are. The issue the right has is that, even if I’m dead wrong, millions of Americans agree with me. So if the right was a little wiser, they’d drop the stolen election rants and focus on winning issues. 
     
    The “stolen election” rants is what the losing side always does. No difference from Bush vs Gore. Or Bush Kerry. It happens all the time, it always will.  It’s just another version of the same old story. Winners win, losers make excuses.  Happens in sports, business, personal lives. It’s human nature.
     
    I know the drill though. Only the other side whines about stolen elections. When the side I agree with complains it’s totally legit. 
     
    Not making excuses means people have to admit they failed.   Which people have a very hard time doing. It requires good ole’ personal accountability and being able to admit they were wrong.

    People also will blame widespread fraud and conspiracies when Trump loses again. But it’s just not true. I mean not even remotely.
    The bitter truth? The majority of voters don’t like him. His supporters can stomp their feet, storm the capital, rant and rave, but it won’t change reality.  
     
    As to the repetition thing, I get what you are saying, and I don’t get it. I’ve practiced similar kicks countless times. I do my basics every day. Same with my forms. I DO expect different results. I expect to get better.

    Thank. I was talking about @Travelers op. I’m lost how he said there is no greater evil than diversity. 
    Diversity of thought is a good thing, a very good thing, but it’s not how the real world works. Like I said in another post people generally want to be surrounded by those who spew out what they believe. It applies to liberals, conservatives, atheists, believers…
