Even though I had been a "new order Mormon" for several years, it wasn't until 2005 that it even occurred to me to look up Mormonism online. I randomly googled Mormon and mason and quickly ended up at FAIR, then eventually here. I have read and posted a little at RfM and other sites, but m...

This thread needs this song and video: Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes: First Day of My Life Now everyone watch it! My girls and I like it lots. It's sort of our theme song. The lyrics go like this: This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain, suddenly eve...

I often try to pop the seal by whacking the lid edge against the edge of the counter.

So in other words we will let people die if they don't get the right coverage? No. People might die only if they risk it. Their own choice. What if the only reason they "risk it" is because they simply can't afford it. It is either feed the family or get extra insurance to cover the possi...

They definitely have more fun down in the bargain basement. I have to admit, I didn't think I'd be impressed when I first brought the video up, but I had a lump in my throat before the end of it, and really got into it. It just sucks one in. I had more than a lump in my throat. I cried. It was a be...

Uhhh...wth? I totally did not see that coming. You didn't see it coming because you live on the west coast. Adam lost because Kris was from Arkansas. Crazy as it sounds, I'm pretty sure it is true. People here were voting like crazy! I have a high school friend who figured out how to speed text on ...

nutjob I'll have to admit that he sounds like the nutjob prophets of old. He's got that part down, at least. Crazy, though. I'm skimming around on the blog, and it is wild. I'm seriously trying to see even the tiniest hint of something in those mountains. I see mountains. That is it. Not that it wou...

While I enjoyed my mission in general, I really wish I hadn't gone. I am female. I felt it was more important to get married and/or go on a mission than it was to finish my degree. I don't know that I ever said it to myself in those exact words, but now it is obvious that finishing school was not as...

Dh and I were both raised very active in the church, pioneer stock and all that, attended LDS universities, went on missions (both of us), and married in the temple. About 8 years ago, dh started researching the church. Within a short time, he was intellectually out of the church. He didn't want to ...
