When you believe appearances mean everything, until you decide they mean nothing.

The most shocking thing there is that the Odgen Standard Examiner is now behind a paywall.

Provo's local rag is doing the same thing. And they are charging as much as the NYT, WSJ, or WaPo.

Really sad. I've prepped myself for all sorts of conversations with my kids and how to respond. Everything from 1. not going on a mission, 2. not going to church/resigning membership, 3. being gay. All of the dialogues I have start with "Thanks for telling me, and it doesn't change how much I love you." and end with "let's talk about the best way to break this news to your mom," but none of them involve choking or throwing a kid out of the house. I feel like those initial responses are key to really nail.

Yeah. You are not a psychopath.

I don't want to brag but I've had all 3 of those conversations. Multiple times.

I realize this should warrant a "duh", but people are always more likely to be honest if they know someone will respond with love and kindness. Hostility breeds dishonesty and inauthenticity.

I hope your parents handled it as well as GM hopes to.

What is wrong with people that don't like cilantro. They are all horrible people. When I get home tonight, I'm planning on making some Chimichurri sauce.

I was once in a kitchen in Baja, Mexico helping make some of the most delicious Mexican ceviche I've ever had. However, I was tasked with de-stemming a gigantic batch of cilantro and I think I was very close to killing myself.

A real chimichurri uses Italian parsley, not cilantro.

I think the only thing I miss from my stint in Ecuador is the ceviche.

I understand that there is an enzyme that some people have that will make cilantro taste like soap. My father-in-law had this and we always had to make two types of salsa. One with cilantro and the other with dish soap.
