Sleeping Dogs - Zakk Wylde

Not what one expects from Zakk, video makes me laugh every time, but the words are awesome.

Thanks for this one. It has made it on my personal NOM playlist!

I swear listening to this soundtrack in 2011 is what first started cracking my shelf, and I didn't even realize it at the time. Still haven't seen the show live, but thank heaven for the heroes who sneak in video cameras.

First tip: don't buy beer in a Utah grocery story because it's only 3%, hardly worth the calories. You know that you're getting the same % when you buy a mild barley drink on-tap at a restaurant in UT, right RubinHIGHlander? 8-) Fortunately, I'm in Phoenix. I can buy anything at any grocery store o...

Sounds to me like we're related, because I'm 99-percent sure you're describing Erastus Snow.

Yep. What's up cuz?

Heyyyyyy. Did you go to the Snow family reunion like 20-25ish years ago in St. George? I'm 32. Were you a fellow kid hanging out? Maybe we met way back when.

My G-G-G-grandfather was an early polygamist with 16 wives. I used to take pretend/not-pretend pride in being from his first wife's line. I am now ashamed I had those feelings. Looking at his wives, quite a few were actually pretty old (post-menopausal) when he married them, so I wonder if there wa...

I'm a g-g-g-grandson of Erastus Snow and his sixth (depending on which account) wife. There are a couple other polygamists in my tree. Their stories make me really sad. What I'm most interested in is this guy: https://www.ancestry.com/genealogy/records/john-robert-green_41371558 This is also my g-g-...

Pfffft. Don't give them the satisfaction. You may think you are making a statement, but in a way you are legitimizing their authority - "here is your recommend back you authority figure you". The very fact you are going into a leader's office to hand him back a Recommend to some extent is recognizi...

I'm really heartbroken for you, for the record. I send positive vibes every time I see this thread on NOM.

I've done this (giving back a TR) before. In all honesty, it felt GREAT to say (to the SP1C)-- I don't want this. This is basically the reason I'm thinking of doing it. I can see this point of view, but to me, giving it back to them gives them power. If you don't want it, throw it in the garbage. T...

I bought Depeche Mode's Music for the Masses on the way home from my mission and listened to it. It was awesome. My SP seriously considered not giving me an honorable release as a result. What a turd!

omg, screw that guy

Ooh, I've got some fun ones to add today. "Gronlandic Edit" by of Montreal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBfgQvM7wtE "I guess it would be nice to give my heart to a god, but which one, which one, do I choose? All the churches filled with losers, psycho and confused I just want to hold the divine i...

I feel you. My mom sent me the really bad "debunking" of the CES letter (the one that doesn't name the actual document or Jeremy) that's been going around this week with advice to "consider my sources!" It's causing me to retrench and not want to visit for Christmas. Moms like this think they're doi...

I focused on shared values. What we both clearly believed, and why I didn't think the church represented those values for me anymore. Good luck.

With books and most church-produced DVDs, it's not worth the time of trying to sell on the secondary market. But the cost of these makes them perfect for eBay. Clear some space; make some cash. Hell, these might be rare enough that Decluttr would pay well. Check it out.

I had a dear teacher/mentor/friend die prematurely about 10 years ago. I never met her husband, but I found his information based on the obituary/internet and sent him a letter. Page one talked about my relationship with the teacher, how helpful she was to me at a critical time in my life, and how I...

(Quick aside here: I learned last night that the recent big annual EQ family activity with picnic, pool, guns/a shooting range had only four elders show up, and I understand that most didn't bring their families. Hahahahahahahahaha. I hope this trend continues.) My wife (as we both have many times ...

These are always kind of fun to return and report. The missionaries came over last night. It was fine. We ate some food and chatted a bit. Nothing particularly noteworthy. Then they sat down for the "spiritual message" and I took the opportunity to do the dishes. Unfortunately, I could still hear. I...

Perhaps I was mistaken about splitting up the youngs... although it would appear that on this board, I am a young!

The current version of the New Belgium Folly 12-pack is *so good*. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0227/0581/products/New-Belgium-Folly-Variety-Pack-12PK-12OZ-BTL.png?v=1495673510 It has the classic Fat Tire, the crucial IPA (Voodoo Ranger), and two really good citrus beers in the Lime Citradelic ...

If it's not too late to edit, I'd split 18-30 into 18-24 and 25-30. There's a lot of difference between an 18 and a 30 year old.
