Its been 4 years for me but they (bishop and counselors) kept saying that they were moving to the internet instead of dialing in. I seriously doubt that has happened. I will ask on sunday.Originally posted by nikuman View Post"Be a philosopher. A man can compromise to gain a point.

Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.Comment

That's certainly true...just as a big wad of cash grabs your attention when someone pays like that. I guess my point was just that for me at least it was mostly forgotten by the time I got home, and certainly never discussed with anyone.Originally posted by Portland Ute View Post"They're good.
