I loved #5 and onward the most. It was a good reminder that God is not a "tame lion."

Re: mission paper timeline

The shortest I've ever heard is 2 weeks, which is what happened to a good friend of mine in high school. SLC called and told him he was leaving before his call arrived in the mail. Then there was the kid who was sent BACK out into the field after a year off, and he had three days. I, on the other h...

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10

Yeah, I'm afraid that it would have gotten you yelled at. Maybe if I had stepped in they would have stopped, but I have some combative friends. My opinion is to talk about what they need to hear. And if it's someone less active who doesn't want any spiritual message, I think it's more important to b...

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10

I just deleted the whole thing because I was tired of their nitpicking. I'm feeling bitter right now because of it. (This is your fault, Craig . . . I feel obligated to make amusing remarks every now and then so people don't unfriend me.)

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10

I just made a status on Facebook remarking on how the message for visiting teaching has been visiting teaching for months now. Meta visiting teaching. I don't really care . . . I just felt like saying something and have found it somewhat amusing this year. But the thread following it has now turned ...

Re: Happy Days in Random Chatter 10

I saw not a greeting card, but a greeting sticker, that was professionally designed and printed, that said "Glad your [ sic ] back." It's funny how a blatant grammatical error on one's résumé would likely keep one from getting employed at the company that made that sticker. I thought for ...

Marduk, my fiance says you're a troll. Haha.

Re: wedding dresses

I hadn't heard of the body suit. I just wore long sleeves over my wedding dress. This whole discussion is making me laugh a little because I'm one of those tacky girls who essentially wore a white prom dress as my wedding dress. Lacy bodice, square neck, poofy skirt . . . and I'm not ashamed to admi...

Re: Pranks in BYU Housing

I just read my last post and noticed a slight contradiction. What I meant is that I tried to sleep through it all. I didn't go out in the hall to see the fuss, though now I sort of wish I would have.

You're a good friend, TBS, to have helped with that.

Re: Pranks in BYU Housing

I have had many similar conversations with my differently-schooled RA friends. And as a former RA myself, I have no sympathy for this kid, especially since nothing will happen to him, probably. And I kind of have a PhD in sympathy. I was RA during the Great Newspaper Incident, and my best friend wa...

Re: Life lessons

Krebscout, are you going to share one of your widsoms or life lessons? Well, I'm not sure this is actually a positive thing, but I've been feeling lately like laziness isn't always a bad thing, especially in parenting. Sometimes it can have the same effect as patience. I swear my kids are good slee...

Re: neighborly etiquette

I finally met my next door neighbors yesterday after living here for 3 weeks. One of the first things I said was, "Do you hear our baby? our piano?" and they responded in the negative. They then asked if I heard their little girl throwing tantrums. I didn't. Anyway, I think we both feel a ...
