Re: Baby gift for coworker + wife?
yeah, I second what Katya said--sometimes it really is the thought that matters. Something like a store gift card would be something they could use no matter how the pregnancy ends.

Re: #85685 - conservative parents
We can thank Ezra Taft Benson for this particular strain of political conservatism wedded with Mormonism. He was a vocal member of the John Birch Society throughout the 60s and 70s and wrote lots of polemics warning of the satanic influences of Communism and the Civil Rights Movement. Some of these...

Re: Rant of the Day
(For the record, I'm tried some online alternatives, which may be better than nothing, but certainly feels like the concept of a YA novel.) Were you the one who recommended some meditation apps? I tried out Pacifica, which had some interesting exercises, but I couldn't bring myself to emotionally i...

Re: #85685 - conservative parents
I think focusing on compassion is great for families, and the advice is pretty good. It seems like some people base most of their identity around their political ideas though, so it can be difficult to think about something else to talk about. My dad listens to conservative talk radio all the time, ...

Re: #85685 - conservative parents
my grandma is very much like this, to the point where she flat-out said something like Obama is the antichrist or something like that. Luckily she doesn't push her political views on me very much any more; maybe she just got tired of disagreeing with me. But I pretty much try to change the subject t...

Re: #85500 - same-gender attraction
sorry to use that phrase, I don't think it's helpful and I should have been more thoughtful with my word choice. Although I think in an LDS context, any sexual desires often feel like a struggle, because LDS culture has a hard time accepting that sexual thoughts are normal (just my experience).

Re: #85500 - same-gender attraction
not every person who struggles with same-gender attraction is exclusively homosexual, so I think that some mixed-orientation marriages can work. It's obviously not a good solution for everyone though.

Re: What's your favorite cheese?
but yes, all the pregnancy books make it seem like you'll kill your child if you so much as eat lunchmeat without microwaving it. So if it helps lessen your anxiety, it's a small thing to not eat soft cheese for 9 months. my favorite cheeses: gouda, mozzarella (no shame!), cheddar, goat cheese I thi...

Re: What's your favorite cheese?
I love brie, chevre, bleu, roquefort, and feta. On sandwiches, havarti, pepperjack, and provolone are my favorites. The fact that pregnancy limits my cheese options is possibly my least favorite thing about pregnancy. double-check your local soft cheese--if you're in an American grocery store, it's...

Re: the modesty shaming valentines letter #85338
For some reason, this makes me think of that time a few years ago when someone thought sandals were immodest because he had a foot fetish... anyone else remember that one? yes, which helped me realize that... at some point I don't care if it turns someone on, I'm just going to have to wear something.
