Depending on how the ward that recorded this handles records - if you had a close relative who was a member the immediate family is sometimes counted. Even if they’re not baptized. In my experience this was more common in smaller wards. Policy is that only those who’re baptized are supposed to be counted. But some do…

My grandmother-in-law, now deceased, used to tell missionaries of any stripe - Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, etc. - that she was a druid. There was never a single case of them coming back a second time, and the reaction is universally priceless.

It doesn’t surprise me. On the private side, people with director’s units in a Title 22 setting are basically expendable to an owner, let alone most chains. Here’s a quick synopsis of a few of the places my spouse worked at in no particular order:

This. Especially in California. By the time you get the required 12 semester units (specific courses) to begin working as an entry level preschool teacher, you’ve spent enough money and time that in most cases, you would’ve broke even or been better off working at In and Out or Starbucks during that time.

That’s the part that really blows my mind. I’ve never run into a provider before that wouldn’t accept external records from another system in the same city. A similar issue came up when I had a work related injury. The worker’s comp has its own provider network, and when I tried to transfer a copy of the worker’s comp…

That’s the problem. We have printed them out before, then physically handed them to the PCP or ER doc to have them placed in their record. I wouldn’t be surprised if they basically shred the thing as soon as we’re out the door. It’s gotten to the point where I’ve basically lost faith in the system entirely. When your…

I have an interesting question. Do any of these federal statutes help you if you’re trying to transfer in existing records and your current provider won’t accept them?

When I first heard about the possible a few weeks ago, it was on a podcast of a radio show. An interesting position was floated. That while Egypt would get the ships if sold, it was Saudi Arabia and UAE who was doing the bankrolling. Not the Russians. Basically this would give the Arab League the beginnings of its own…

Serious question. One I have thought about for a long time. Instead of fighting over who should be allowed to get a marriage license, why not abolish the requirement for marriage licenses at the federal level?

Random musings and theories, some or most of which may contradict each other. Feel free to discuss, or dismiss as crazy rantings. The flame suit has been donned.

1. Kylo Ren is an altered clone of Vader but imperfect, with little of the original’s power and memories. By collecting item’s associated with the original,…

Interesting, but not very much on the process itself in the website. From reading other sources, their patented process sounds like a variation on Multiple Stage Flash or Multiple Effect Distillation. Or it could be just technobabble. Also, the site is very vague on technical specs and price. Clicking on the entry for…

Better idea. Kickstarter to give it to these guys. If I can’t have my jet pack, I’ll settle for a mech with a Saleen engine built in Texas.

Old soft rock coming up. Can't help with Starbucks though.

So much for trying to be Fresh AND Easy....while I go before the pun firing squad, some entertainment...

On 2 and 3, yes and I just rolled with it. On 1, I didn't read it that way. I had thought that the use of 'her' was not due to something specific to Breq, but more of something specific to the Radch language/culture. Basically that 'her' considered a universal reference to Radch regardless of sex; similar to how 'ser'…

Technically, no you don't need a move away order. My children were covered in CA under an order stating they couldn't be moved from one county to another without notice and agreement between both parents, with notification and approval of a court first. Mine were moved out of state in defiance of that - and the judge…

In CA the laws regarding second hand pot smoke are vague at best, unlike second hand tobacco smoke. While I have no personal issue with marijuana (I know friends/family who smoke) I have a family member who's actually allergic to the plant, smoke, and derivatives. They're also allergic to avocado - which makes Mexican…

The people of Round Mountain, CA (pop 155) would disagree that your town counts as small.
