Re: Do I tell DH I've tried alcohol?

I also only have 1 drink per night and I usually only drink once a month or so. Alcohol is expensive and then I h ...

Re: Bishop's Youth Interview - Return & Report
Is it the "power" of the priesthood which I hold, or is it the "authority" of the priesthood which I hold? I'll probably go with "power" because that bothers my FIL. I dont think it would be very appropriate to be holding your priesthood power in public. That kind of thing is done in the privacy of ...

“By their ‘prophet/profit’ that eerily has many similarities to evil corporation president on The Simpsons shall ye know them.”
So many parallels between those two characters.

Re: being there for a victim of sexual abuse
Two of the most helpful things I've heard are I'm so sorry you went through this alone And I'm so sorry you've carried this so long Another helpful thing I've been told is that I'm strong. Do not, under any circumstances, tell her she needs to forgive. She already knows forgiveness is important. If ...

Re: Costco selling garment look-alikes
I applaud Costco for providing rhetorical and material coverage for the undercover unbeliever who want to pass the dreaded "garment check" when dealing with friends and leaders. Yes this could help ire a few who are out but need to appear in. Red Ryder, thanks for your diligent underwear searching ...

Re: Costco selling garment look-alikes
I bought a package of these a couple weeks ago! :lol: It's nothing new, and it's not specific to Costco. I've purchased items like this as Walmart and Kohls. I use them when I wear dresses because my thighs are a little thicker than I like and well, I hate them rubbing together. The Costco ones are ...

Costco selling garment look-alikes
And for this, all you have to pay is your $75 annual membership to Costco instead of 10% of your income. :P :lol: It's a great deal if you love ugly white long underwear.

Re: Sort of let the cat out of the bag to my wife.
I'd call that a successful step to authenticity. Do you feel a bit relieved now? I'm glad your conversation was peaceful. Rock waterman's "Are we paying too much tithing?" was one of the first things I shared with my husband years ago, it helped open the doors of thoughtful and honest conversation ...

Bias or blah
