Humor will not be tolerated!! -Portia

Wisteria, I agree. If they can't find real news to report on they should put on something else. One of the reasons people find Glenn Beck so easy to make fun of is the guy has a 3 hour radio show and a one hour tv ... rant? every single day. That's a lot of time to say something dumb. sqrt(-1) ... ...

It's amazing how petty everything is in politics. Everyone gets (and the media FEEDS it) so strung up on the dumbest subjects. Sarah Palin writes notes on her hand (gasp!). President Obama uses a teleprompter everywhere he goes (what a dunce!) . Scott Brown drives a truck (oh my gosh!) . Rahm Emanu...

Wisteria! I, for one, have missed you.

I think anyone who has even the slightest inclination or aptitude should learn additional languages. Learning to speak Spanish was one of the best things I ever did. Now I'm working on French. If and when I speak French fairly fluently, then it will be on to Italian/Portuguese. (I figure sticking i...

I seem to be really good at crafty stuff. Basically I keep finding things I want and deciding I don't want to pay what people charge for it, so I make it myself. I sew costumes, make my daughter's hairbows, woodburn pretty cool stuff, etc. And people keep telling me I need to start selling things o...

I like to think I have an aptitude for languages. Actually, I have an aptitude for learning in general. Except I prefer not to learn in a classroom setting. Instead, I would rather Google whatever I was learning about, and pick the website that explains it in the most depth, so that I actually under...

Like "The Wint'ry Day"? G above middle c for the tenors, and a high f for the sopranos?

Out of curiosity, are you home bob? (As in "home from Florida", not "home from school".)

[quote="Gimgimno"] "A Mighty Fortress is Our God" proves to me that Martin Luther really knew God. [\quote] The other day in institute choir we sang that. The director shared some verses in it that aren't in the LDS hymn book, but none of us could come up with a reason why. I'd e...

I'm excited.

Who wants to sing, "How Long, O God, Most Holy and True," anyway? I'm going to go on a limb and say that I can identify about a half dozen hymns on the unplayed list that were justifably unplayed. :P My opinion. Just for the record, I recently discovered "How Long, O God, Most Holy a...

If, ya know, I was actually in the same state, I would vote for TOTALLY HAVING TODDLERS at the party. Because I love them.

But I'm not, so the point is.... I feel lame saying moot because someone just said it. So I won't.

Dear Whistler, I'm sad to see you go. For the longest time, I didn't appreciate you. However, recently I've begun to appreciate not just your writing and your answers, but also you as a person. I always look forward to your blog updates, and think the things you share are almost always amusing, and ...

Umm.. Nope. It was BYU hating on me and not paying me very much money. ; D

You and all your hating on me in Arizona... Racists.

Alright: Game time. Everyone who cares. What are your top 3 soundtracks. Ever. Preferably available on iTunes. Excluded from your choices: Pirates of the Caribbean, Chronicles of Narnia, Braveheart, and The Lord of the Rings. Oh, and John Williams. I'm going to take each person's choices in a week (...

I'm pretty sure the Lord of the Rings soundtracks are the originals. As in, we've had them since the movies came out. John Williams... I dunno, his music has great, catchy, genius, repetitive, melodies. Part of the reason I like the LotR ones is that they have several different melodies that are all...

Bombastic doesn't bother me. Neither does stuff I already know. To give you an idea of what I like to listen to, currently, my favorite soundtracks are The Lord of the Rings (specifically Fellowship, because it's the only one on my iPod currently), the Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Chronicles of...

That's. AWESOME. Love it. Wow.

Hi all. Long time no see. This is Gio. I semi-got rid of my account for the Board Board, but I was wondering: If you could recommend two (2) soundtracks for me to listen to, which two (2) would you pick? I got a $25 gift card for iTunes, and I need good book reading/study music. Or, if you'd rather,...
