    I can't even deny the allegations. I've seen too much around here to say that's an overstatement. Even one of my old friends was called to be a bishop - and ended up taking a 2nd wife while being the bishop.

    You should see our ward parties - lot's of swapping going on!

      I wonder how he tied in doing jumping jacks and learning to drive a car. Every once in a while I'll hear a woman say, "you men are sick" and after hearing story like this it's hard to argue against that.

                  That episode has been weirdly mismanaged, but so have a lot of recent, post Prop 8 policies been awkwardly considered and issued.

                  Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                      Takes a special kind of person to do what he did. He can call it helping people who want to grow their family through adoption - but the human trafficking element is pretty sickening. I've heard way too many stories of low income families from the pacific islands thinking they are sending their kids to get citizenship and an education without understanding what "adoption" really means. As the article says - many of these families, this time from the Marshall Islands - thought that their kids were coming home at age 18, after finishing school.

                        Well that's kind of shady.

                          Cans of beer have littered the parking lot of a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Sandy after a semitrailer crashed that was carrying cases of the brew.

                            You were in my thoughts, if not prayers, yesterday when I read that. I assume you volunteered for building clean-up.

                              I hope Max Hall's family wasn't anywhere near the meetinghouse. Lord knows they've had enough beer poured on them to last a lifetime.
