What games did you guys play that you both enjoyed?

At what point does putting on makeup to make your skin darker become putting on blackface? Doesn't blackface include exaggerating stereotyped physical attributes?

Have there even ever been any board writers who were students at BYU-I or BYU-H while they were actively writing? I don't remember any.

Like the collective mind of the boarboard. We are nearly as good as the real thing, but much cheaper, and available whenever. I love us, but as someone with close friends who are trained counselors or therapists, I must respectfully disagree. It's great to be able to talk to friends, but sometimes ...

http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/74855/ encourages a BYU-I reader to apply. Four days later, http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/74887/ another BYU-I reader is turned away. I completely get the logic of http://theboard.byu.edu/questions/74830/ by students for students, but what's behind dropping BYU...

https://theboard.byu.edu/questions/74896/ ...from what I've noticed about life, it's the people who think they aren't bishop material that end up making great bishops. I would be more worried if your boyfriend was going around saying "You know, I'd make a great Bishop someday." +1 Well pu...

When each spouse maintains a strongly held value that is incompatible with the other's value (perhaps like spanking vs not spanking) that the couple cannot resolve through respectful discussion and communication, how often does the wife's position "win out" over the husband's position? Are...

Yes. You just flipped the example around. We're saying the same thing here.

it will be harmful to America, destroy a great health care system, foster government dependency, erode our fundamental rights, and weaken our freedoms and liberties. Exactly the position that shows a lack of respect, trust, and good will. Why would anyone, Democrat, Republican, or other want anythi...

Here's what is interesting to me about your Tea Party - Obamacare analogy. The relationship between the Democrats and Republicans is not based on mutual respect, trust, and understanding. They are both trying to discredit and demonze the other's position. In your example you say the Tea Partiers fee...

In the comments at this site - http://www.almanac.com/plant/cauliflower : Side shoots are bonus! Enjoy! Many varieties of cauliflower do not develop side shoots, though some cultivars will produce as long as you leave a few leaves on the plant (eg., Green Comet).

When a mommy and a daddy salad fork love each other very much... the salad fork stork delivers them in the night.

Ideally the man and the woman would mutually seek a revelation from God instructing them on how the problem should be handled in their particular situation.

I believe that any couple whose relationship is built on mutual respect, trust, and understanding will not run into such problems. Every couple, even those whose relationship is built on mutual respect, trust, and understanding will run into such problems. That foundation of mutual respect, trust, ...

My wife and I had a wedding date, but no ring. She refused - did not want a ring because to her, it symbolized being bought and paid for. So no engagement ring. We did purchase silver bands with a celtic pattern to wear after we were married (about $70 for both).

I agree, Whistler that the logic doesn't make sense. If this is what your friend believes, that's fine for her. I'm not convinced that a body has to be wholly separate from another to count (as in birth). Why would they have to have a "do over" just because the child's body was never viabl...

I like Stego Lily's answer. Feeling the Spirit should not make you anxious or afraid.

Where do we draw the line between “normal, rational, not over-the-top things” and the kind of serious, hard to forgive, emotionally damaging experiences that “damaged goods” has had? The line is the same as it would be for men in general, I would just expect "priesthood holders" to work h...

Forget the engagement and wedding. Spend that cash on a long, fabulous honeymoon.
