New to board: Edward777

[edward777]

Hello. I would like to make an introduction of sorts

I am LDS, have lived in Utah (Vernal) for a year and am originally from the pacific Northwest. I am married, have 8 kids, and am a high priest. However, I may at times come across a bit unconventional (liberal on some issues, libertarian on some issues, and conservative on others). My main philosophical bent? Question authority anytime, anywhere.

Dude, did you not see the introductory template I pointed you to? Please, take a look at that, and try again. Welcome to the board!

Looks like he's already giving the finger to authority here on CUF.

wow! Looks like Jarid's got competition!

Edward, why are there three 7s in your name?

Didn't the Knights Templars view the number 7 as the most powerful?

And DU Ute -- that is one awesome profile pic!!!!!! Gotta search for a good one for me.

Welcome Edward. You should fit right in.

What brought you to Vernal? Oil industry?

With Uintah wilderness, the Green River, and Flaming Gorge, I could stay entertained in Vernal.

[TripletDaddy]

I love your credo. You will fit in well here. Welcome.

Also, I find the 777 to be a quite comfortable option of transcontinental air travel.

Quick question, I just uploaded a pic as my profile pic, and it shows on my file but not in the forum. What am I doing wrong?

Your avatar is the picture that appears under your moniker with each post.

It's a fun pic, but the guy in the photo is a huge Oregon St/Ute fan and is absolutely insufferable.

Welcome. Pay no attention to the following posters here:

They're all blowhards.

You should know that you have basically zero chance at becoming an apostle since you had so many kids. In fact, pretty much all the new apostles have fewer than four children.

See the trend below:

Boyd K. Packer 10 children
L. Tom Perry 4 children
Russell M. Nelson 10 children
Dallin H. Oaks 6 children
M. Russell Ballard 7 children
Joseph B. Wirthlin 8 children
Richard G. Scott 7 children
Robert D. Hales 2 children
Jeffrey R. Holland 3 children
Dieter F. Uchtdorf 2 children
David A Bednar 3 children
Quentin L Cook 3 children

Eduardosietesietesiete, you'll notice that he listed me first because I'm dearest to his heart. However, I'm more of a cockalorum than a blowhard; I should add that LA Ute is a first-class smellfungus.

Maybe its a generational thing with plastics leaching into food, or estrogen in the water from female contraceptives. I have read a lot about the decline in male fertility and lower testosterone levels. Things were more natural in Elder Packer's day. However, I keep pretty healthy and with all the exercise I do, combined with a good supply of meat/fish in my diet I do not think I have had any problems in that category.
