A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him. The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, "I'd rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips." The

Most 10x50 binoculars in the $50 price range will have rubber fold-down eyecups. Just fold them down when wearing glasses and they won't scratch your glasses if you bump the lens.

"God personally revealed to me without a doubt of 100% certainty of its truthfulness." I've responded when told that line that it must be a lying deity because the Book of Mormon is simply not authentic, it is not from ancient Americans, it was fabricated in the early 19th century. So if some kind of God is revealing it is true, that God is a liar.

An inexpensive 10x50 should work for what you described. Best to wear your glasses while using them because you will be looking for birds without the binoculars, then putting the binoculars to your eyes to see more detail, then lowering the binoculars to look for something else. 10x50 will give better viewing in late evening and early morning because it will make things seem brighter.

She only mentioned the Winter Counts in passing, and did not bring up at all the first Lakota horse in those, and made it sound as if they were on hide that has perished. Never mind the work of Garrick Mallery. In fact she doesn't source or mention Mallery at all. And the use of the dog as a beast of burden made the transition to the horse smooth and natural for the plains Indians. For the Lak

I'm not buying it either. On page 46 of her dissertation she uses Fairmormon for a source to argue that the horse bones in the Loltun cave finding are younger than they really are. On page 58, she again quotes from Fairmormon with another argument that does not hold up. On page 138, she uses a quote from Nephitecode.com and discusses the Mormon church involvement and argues that just because M

I live in a rural area and we are all being careful and limiting our social contact without orders and lock downs. Our hospital won't be able to handle very large numbers if a lot of us get sick and we know it. As for every man for himself, I don't think that will happen where I am.
