I know our local community college has 8 week courses each semester and the second 8 week session begins on October 11th. I don't know if that might be a possibility for you but it might help you feel more productive. Otherwise I would throw yourself into a job and save money and really help out around the house. Cleaning the kitchen and folding laundry are two tasks that the majority of moms hat

are there any estimates as to what the first presidency and the 12 make? I was under the impression that they lived like senior missionary couples. I remember also believing that they would pack their lunch if they had to drive a long way on a sunday or fly someplace. My mom was trying to tell me that even the prophet had to spend money on sunday sometimes and I wouldn't believe her... though

As I was planning my own vow renewal today (it will be in another 4 years but it's never too early to start planning is it?) I was crushed with grief as I realized that if I hadn't of been brainwashed all my life my nevermo grandfather who means the world to me (only my husband can compare and they obviously fill very different roles) could have walked me down the aisle. I sobbed for quite a wh

you have to admit that silk boxers sort of have a 90's pornstar vibe going on with them... though I bet they feel awesome! I agree that he is probably just jealous... or at least I know I was always jealous of my girl friends who could still wear stuff from Victoria's Secret. I always thought working there right after high school was the reason why I hated garments so much. I had "lived

President Joseph F. Smith “While a simple game of cards in itself may be harmless, it is a fact that by immoderate repetition it ends in an infatuation for chance schemes, in habits of excess, in waste of precious time, in dulling and stupor of the mind, and in the complete destruction of religious feeling. These are serious results, evils that should and must be avoided by the Latter-day Sai

This is a little different but my friend told me that while he was at BYU they had a real problem with students eloping in Vegas so they could have sex and then getting a divorce or annulment. Sounds like a lot of people my generation and younger are doing things in their own way.

Are there any pictures of JS's plural wives? Out of the 30+ of them, were any ugly? That would be interesting to see I think... (I'm also posting this over at postmo)

Ever since I have told my husband how I feel about the church I have asked him every Saturday night and Sunday morning if he wants to go to church the next morning. I've said I will go with him etc. He hasn't wanted to go yet. These past few sundays have been so nice going to the playground with the kids, an early lunch, an early nap. We've already had a lovely and relaxing day and it's only

I remember after having one of my four babies (within a 3.5 year time frame) having super bad post-partum depression. All I wanted was sleep and rest. I didn't think I could handle things and thought how nice it would be to just die... then I remembered that we would be required to do missionary work etc and everything else the gospel said happened after life.
