I make lots of typos and won't apologize for it.
I have some vague memory of a general authority saying in the 90's that "we should be thankful for the Catholics" since they basically did the initial missionary work for large swaths if the world. Specifically cited the Philippines where LDS was going gang busters at the time.

I have family members I'm close with who are currently being basically drummed out of Mormonism right now because they are becoming a bit more agnostic. It's really sad to watch them losing their community in this way.

And any kids born in the interim between a legal marriage and a sealing participate in the sealing ceremony. This happened to my older brother since my dad didn't convert until after my parents had been married for about 2 years, and his birth.

It means less if you have 0 history of giving, but it's one way to register unhappiness and to hit them where they care.

Maybe a city in a metro area. But not any sort of long distance move.

And yes I'm listening to the London NFL Phantom Island for context.

I hear they have a pill for that now.

Absolutely agree. People and just people. Lead with respect and kindness until proven that's a bad idea.

I think if you treat the people with dignity and respect it's fine. Maybe acknowledge that the offering is a bit outside of the box as well.

Sandwiches or including socks might be a good way to step it up, but a bag o meat is fine too imho.

In my buddies cases you're not wrong. In one I think the court tried really hard for 50/50, but after 2 years it was clear that wasn't in the kid's interest.

I have 2 divorced buddies who have at least sole physical custody of their kids. And one maybe has some legal custody? Idk how that shit works. It gets complicated so fast.

And if people don't want to live in dense neighborhoods why are they usually more valuable on a per sq ft basis than suburbs? If people wanted just the suburbs the reverse would be true.

Yup. It's down.

I legit thought they were listing positions at first pass.

The taste of this isn't very strong. The little bottle was way worse. So this is mostly about ignoring taste and doing a volume play.
