    That's a trap question. It's like asking what is your favorite sexual perversion?

      I’ll go with either Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite.

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

          "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

            • Mrs. Diddley comes out of the bathroom after using hairspray or something and exhales a deep breath and breathes again.

              Mrs D: I held my breath because of the smell.

              Me: Been there!

              Mrs D: Different smell!

              • In today's smartphone world, the opposable thumb on the dominant hand is arguably more necessary than ever.

                I decided to deep clean our oven doors on Saturday, and when removing the first door, my thumb happened to be placed near the spring-loaded hinge as I slid the door off. The hinge snapped down on my thumb, cutting it longways, about an 8th of a inch from the edge of the nail on the side closest to my index finger (ulnar?) The cut was pretty bad, as it was not a particularly sharp hinge that mashed through my hand. My thumb immediately began gushing blood. My first thought was "will I still be able to golf?" My second thought was that it could have been a lot worse. It mostly missed. Had my thumb been placed closer and in a different direction, I legitimately believe it would have severed my entire thumb. Which brings me to my point. I've had my thumb bandaged for the last few days, making it wholly useless for using a smartphone. No texting, no swiping, etc. I basically have to use two hands on my phone right now. Super annoying.

                  Weird. I typically use my non-dominant hand.

                    Me too, but I figured that was because I'm left handed. I also use a mouse with my right hand, because all shared computers are set up that way.

                    Hope you heal quickly DH.

                      I only do that when I want my phone to think a stranger is using it.

                        What does the "stranger" do with your phone?

                        • It's Garbage Eve, and as I struggle to compress a week's hoard of trash into a single bin, I'm vexed yet again by the thought that the entire universe (including everything that would result in billions of trillions of stars and solar systems) was once the size of a basketball. I need a better trash compactor.
