Little sis', don't worry about it. The cup runneth over with envy on this site.

Obviously. And for good reason.

The family resemblance in making good early impressions is certainly strong.

Hyperbole.

Hyperbole.

"may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression but is not intended to be taken literally."

probably too much to hope for here.

So you were speaking literally when you said "most people?"

we should create a new category where all personal discussions reside. i propose we call it the "Care to Step Outside?" category.

I suggested something similar back on Cougarguard. I suggested it be a sticky called the "Personal Vendettas" thread. Ultimately, the suggestion was declined.

I think it would be an interesting thread but ultimately too acrimonious.

I was hoping you'd see the irony in my response.

I think it would enhance approximately 99.99% of the threads here to banish bickering to the "Care to Step Outside?" category.

We could have threads for each major offender (the "Care to Step Outside, SU?" thread, etc.).

A story on the funeral of one of the missionaries:

At funeral for missionary killed last week in Texas, Elder Russell M. Nelson urges faith, forgiveness

[grapevine]

The missionary from Fairfield his brother just younger than him is now in the MTC going to Puerto Rico. His parents dropping him off to the MTC that ought to be hard on them. Even in Temple difficult I think. One son not coming home in mortality anyway now they send the next one off. Talk of a test of faith.
