Agreed. Those are super annoying.

My offline discussion of the Very Personal Sex Question came down to the idea of manual stimulation. If orgasm is a goal, then yeah, I think any couple should ... consider female anatomy, beyond the vaginal canal. (Isn't that crazy amounts of pressure for dudes? No wonder he's stressed.) But I got ...

Anyone else seen this yet? Thoughts?

Last Saturday I noticed that the power was out in our guest room. Texted the landlord, he said he'd come by this week to look. Thursday rolled around, hadn't heard from him so I texted again to find out when he'd be coming. Said he'd get on it soon. Yesterday afternoon, while my husband and I were ...

That's the ticket, a member of the seventy, to be specific.

Nope, it was really more mentioned than announced (if you want to be technical) but it was on the day I was born, and it is how the majority of my ward found out my mom had had her baby.

JESUS?!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...no.

My birth was announced in General Conference.

thatonemom, Yep, one of my three total interviews was with a Catholic school. I even got a call-back interview with them, but they decided to "go a different direction". My husband feels the same way about Chicago. He has been here since 2010 and is itching to get out. Trying not to compro...

Lately my favorite pen has been the Paper Mate InkJoy. They are fairly cheap (which is good because I lose things a lot) but tend to write a smooth line that doesn't smear as much as the G2 pens, which I used to use for grading. I'm obviously not a super-fancy pen person, because I lose them all the...

] You know where it's pretty awesome to be a teacher if you're in the correct districts? Texas. You should move here. We always need awesome math teachers! Wish I could. A lot of my friends are in Texas right now, so I would be totally cool with moving there. I'm stuck in Chicago for a year while m...

Ugh. I. hate. Chicago. I never ever ever ever want to live here again. The teaching job market sucks, the bureaucracy is worse, the city is way in debt, which means taxes just keep going up. As a teacher with 5 years experience including time teaching AP Calculus where I raised the AP pass rate by a...

So in education, there's this idea that if your class is "teacher-centered," that means that during class you're up in front of the room doing all the work while the kids just stare at you and passively absorb information. On the other hand, if your class is "student-centered," ...

That is all.

OOOH! I love Persuasion! I had the same experience reading it for the first time not knowing anything about it. The only movie version I have watched is the one on Netflix, which does a decent job. Though in order to communicate to the audience how Anne is feeling, I feel like they took away a bit o...

Thanks Zedability for sharing that article at the end. I read it, it was great. It resonated a lot with my own personal experience. Your answer was awesome too.

Indefinite Integral, I'm not trying to jump down your throat at all. I'd agree that the culture here has shifted since I started writing in 2008, as I said above. My question for you is: does that make us unfriendly? Are you nervous disagreeing because it's hard to be in the minority (and it is) or...

I hope this doesn't get people jumping down my throat or demanding lots of explanations (because I don't do well with either of those things) but I have been reading the Board Board since 2010, and from my perspective the general culture of questioning and in many cases opposing church culture (and ...

I discovered the board after I started living with Hermia, so sometime during my junior year of college. I would have been 20 or 21.

Congrats! I'm just 6 days away from my own wedding (did I ever even mention that on here? I don't remember...).

It is exciting stuff. Enjoy!
