NOM

Ive read the church doesn't manage the donations, only provided the machines. Another charity is in charge of the management.

I’d probably stay active if this were the first presidency:

Brene Brown, Gina Colvin and Lindsay Hansen Park

Id tithe to that.

New tax law will be interesting to see how it impacts revenue. We are not paying anymore due to money being used to defend predators.

However, if we were, the alternating years is brilliant.

The EQ President asked what our family needs. Spouseman said nothing, that church policies and practices around abuse aren't safe for us to attend and make his family dangerous by empowering their denial. EQP listened. The RSP was horrified at the song choice (BOM Stories with actions). Spouseman du...

How to interpret the Starbucks menu options: Almost all of the drinks that I didn't understand are made with espresso. Espresso is a quickly made, and very concentrated coffee made by forcing hot water at very high pressure through very finely ground coffee. HIgh pressures are required because the ...

Update: She must have thought about it, because she just asked if Id like her to bake them later this evening instead of this morning.

But many of the BoA apologetics are weakened even further when you add the Book of Joseph (Ta-shert Min papyrus) to the mix. There is no missing scroll argument here, for one thing. The Joseph scroll reinforces many of the problems with the Abraham scroll: it has been translated and says nothing ab...

What a great idea to make this thread! Thanks Angel!! Ever since my DS passed away (July of 2017) the holidays are my own personal hell. I have to keep my sh*t together to try and give my DD a happy holiday season, but all I want to do is break down and cry and not get out of bed. I'm really lucky ...

I always have seasonal blues. I did schedule a holiday open house to celebrate a saint from my pre-lds heritage. Putting up the tree today. Thanks for starting this thread. The holidays are hard for a lot of people. I have been taking herbal supplements, using happiness guided meditations, sleep hy...

Ah, but to bake/deliver on Sunday for not-LDS people, and insist on Saturday pick for postmos? It's really just her being butthurt that I'm not participating in church the way I "should" be. Is that the case? Was open on Sundays 2 months ago != is open on Sunday now (hours of operation do change), ...

This subject came up in passing today at lunch with a few of us Nommies and since we have a "support" forum it's probably best dropped here. According to my wife, I'm not entitled to an opinion on women's garments because first, I'm a man, and second because I don't wear garments anymore. So I'll t...

Does this baker really see day old pastry as how she wants her product to represent itself? Thoughts? I think it'd be silly to refuse a sale because you were aware the customer wasn't going to consume it that day. As a customer I would think it weird if a bakery insisted I had to eat the baked good...

Dude, I sent Spouseman out for bourbon to try in our nog and about burned my throat off! Might stick to spiced rum. That surprises me actually, an ounce or two of bourbon spiked into a 8 oz glass of eggnog shouldn't be burning throats. At two ounces (assuming 80 proof) that only results in a 8% ABV...

Is there actually such a thing as store-bought eggnog that is actually worth spiking? I've never had homemade eggnog, so I don't have a frame of reference verses store bought options. I enjoy the store bought stuff well enough, not enough that if it was year round it would always be in the fridge b...

I am hosting a continental brunch next Sunday, and my oven is broken, so I ordered the traditional baked treats for the holiday. First I called a bakery that does fundraising for our local victims advocates, donating supplies and labor for benefit sales. I wanted to support their business because th...

Wanted to make a holiday support thread - how is everyone navigating this season? I'm trying to be multi-cultural, will be attending a winter-solstice party, am celebrating Hanukkah with friends this week (Happy Hanukkah!), and also went to our ward's Nativity exhibit - hope to attend a UU service ...

My DS is musically inclined. I'm looking at Christmas ideas and toying with getting him a MIDI system. I have a MicroKORG synthesizer and I can get a MIDI interface easily enough. The question is what software is out that that is good for MIDI and music composition? DS is going on 11 years old, if ...

Seminary teacher casting shame on everyone he ever knew that "apostatized".

I think I'd file a harassment claim. I've asked them to leave me alone and they refuse.

. We haven't come out, yet, but Spouseman is already getting texts about his apostate wife, and my teenagers get messages "encouraging" them to follow their leaders over their mother. We have very little contact with them, which is good. However they claim they want to reconcile. I have no interest...
