Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10

You can get the bindings on the skis adjusted to fit the boots you have. I would go to a ski shop and see what they say about adjusting them. I just bought some used skis that are from the 90s but are in really good condition and the bindings were able to be adjusted for some boots I rented for the ...

Re: freebyu

The example that came to my mind is in the Celestial, Terrestrial, Telestial, and outer darkness. D&C 76. vs 83 says people in the telestial kingdom "are they who deny not the Holy Spirit" vs 84-85 says that these people will be thrust to Hell until the last resurrection. (But they wil...

Re: Rant of the Day

I want to make a little complaint about my husband, but I haven't talked about it with him. So I won't at the moment (I've made myself a promise that I won't talk bad about something involving him without talking to him first.) So, I'll make this small complaint/observation. I'll get cold outside an...

Re: The One Where The Question Asker Words Things Weirdly

I think it would help if this question asker would just leave out the links to board questions and just put "BQ#12345". Their questions are pretty difficult to understand, but changing one or two things might make a positive difference on how easy it is to interpret.

Re: What makes you happy today?

My computer was making weird noises so I decided to backup important documents. About an hour after I did, I got a really weird blue screen of death before my computer restarted. It seems to be doing fine now, but I'm really glad for my external hard drive and the backup of all the pictures and docu...

BYU Stem Fair

So, this Thursday is BYU's STEM fair (Feb 12th) and I'll be attending from BYU-Idaho. I didn't think to ask sooner, otherwise I would have asked the board. Is there a way I can print on campus without being a student? Can a visitor access the wi-fi? I'll be bringing my computer and a thumb drive in ...

Re: Update to Question #70199

I haven't asked any relationship questions, but yours reminded me of my own EFY experience. I had a major crush on one guy in my group, he was smart, participated in many of the same activities I did, but he lived about 4 states away. Around 4-6 years later, I was in a religion class when a girl was...

Re: What's for dinner?

Yesterday I made lasagna in the crockpot. It actually turned out better than I expected. I also never cook so this was a pleasant surprise to my husband.

Re: Rant of the Day

No. No, I don't. If I'm sitting in a class trying to pay attention and learn, it is not up to me to be accommodating when others in the class want to talk among themselves. If they really find their own conversations of more value than the lecture, they can go out in the hall. I don't care if half ...

Re: Downton Abbey costume

You can get batting from your local fabric store, you can use it to plump up your torso, bottom, and arms if you're wearing long sleeves. Plus, batting has more structure than stuffing so you you won't be as lumpy.

My sister majored in linguistics and has found her passion in HR. Unfortunately, I don't know how she uses technical communication in her area of work.

#80599 Alcohol 101

In the writer's defense, my sister was a bartender and later on a bar manager, all while being an active member. The restaurant she worked at noticed that when they took the time to train LDS bartenders, less alcohol would be unaccounted for. Us mormons are less likely to drink on the job, which is ...

Re: Sibling shenanigans (#80530)

This didn't happen to a sibling, but a friend. My sister and I look a lot alike, so this served two purposes. We made up a third sister. She had a name, family, went to college, and has two kids, and let's call her May. Mostly we used her when someone would ask, "Are you two twins?" and we...

Re: Wisdom teeth

I only had four wisdom teeth, but I had a fifth tooth removed on the same day. It was an adult tooth that refused to grow larger than a small nub so we had it taken out. I still have a baby tooth because of this.
