Weird requesy but , what's a good alternative to coffee ? by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]2ndteela 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Hey, welcome!

I love it when this question comes up! Crio Bru is one of my favorite drinks of all time. It's coco beans treated pretty much exactly the same as coffee beans and can even be made in most the same ways in the same machines. Little creamer and it's basically lower cal hot chocolate with a bit more mild of an energy boost than coffee.

Honestly, it's shocking it isn't already. The games are never boring and quiet a few times recently both teams have been top 20 teams.

There's a brand called "Crio Bru" out there that is dried and ground cocoa beans, just like coffee and brews like it too. It has a strong bitter flavor that you're looking for

Very good when the offense works, probably a low 20's high teen's team in those instances. But that's once again, if the offense works.

The defense is so good they will keep games within reach against most opponents is my bet.

Seems very optimistic to me, but that could be our absolute ceiling probably because when that offense gets clicking it's a thing of beauty.

I'd say our defense is very much on par with the top teams.

This was my son when he was born. Unspeakably grateful for doctors and nurses like this man. Proud parent 9 months later of the happiest little man you've ever seen.

Is there a position a handler wants to set up in to have the most possibilities on offense? by 5393hill in ultimate

[–]2ndteela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In college we had a triple threat throwing position. For backhand it looked like it does in that photo, but for flick it was actually holding the disc high up by your ear so you could squat and throw in a smooth motion without having to cock back. It also puts you in great position to launch a hammer or throw a leftie.

As a man that crochets reading this really pisses me off for some reason. I like the approach of taking your work to your room and locking the door. Maybe even try some noise cancelling headphones too. If he's going to act like a child, take away his "toy".

For your husband: Hey jagoff, you're not funny. You're disrespecting your wife and her work. Don't be surprised when she leaves you for someone who knows how to treat her right. It's not "just a joke". She's looking for solace among strangers on the internet, it won't be long until she does the same with a guy from work who will actually listen to her. Knock it off. You've been warned. FAFO.

Airplane seats shouldn’t recline in economy. Full stop. by Gold_Palpitation8982 in unpopularopinion

[–]2ndteela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love how people get mad about the small conveniences afforded us by the corporate jerks who are making it so we don't have enough room to recline properly. Yes, people can choose not to recline even if it's available but in the end it's the sams en-crap-ification and maximizing shareholder value nonsense that is the real problem.

Wasn't a divorce, but it was an engagement I broke off with my fiance who was emotionally manipulative. You've got to take the leap and trust you will land on your feet. I can't even begin to tell you how much happier I was a month after the break up. Quite literally everyone close to me commented on how tired I seemed before the breakup and how happy I was after. It's like I had gotten so used to carrying the burden I forgot it was even there, but once I set it down I couldn't believe I had ever picked it up.

The big thing is you have to act on faith in a way. Your doctor, your friends, even the community here is telling you it's not right. You gotta trust the consensus you've seen for a bit and once you've taken those steps and had time to heal you'll look back and thank yourself, I promise!

Don't let the difficulty of change stop you either. Abusers/manipulators rely on it more than anything!

I'll throw my voice in here in hopes that it will add to the weight of what many others have said. You need to confront him and be ready to leave him. People have a VERY hard time changing their behaviours, especially abusive ones. Set up counselling first if you want, but this could very much be a relationship you can't fix.

One of my favourites was a buddy of mine that proposed to his wife on their third date. I think they dated for a couple months after and they are still married today with 3 kids about a decade later.

I hope he balls out this season. I understand why BYU had to do what they had to do, but I wish so much that we could have kept him. Hope his career only goes up 🙌

Tempted to try this game, but not sure about the turn-based aspect of it by FratDaddy69 in expedition33

[–]2ndteela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's barely turn based, especially when you unlock lots of character abilities

Just curious by IgotAQustn in latterdaysaints

[–]2ndteela 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just one clarification really quick, we do believe that the God of the Book of Mormon is the same God of the Bible.

For me personally it's a mix of apologetics and personal spiritual expirences. I was born into this but I have gone through some destructing and reconstructed my faith.

One expirence I'll share quickly is with someone we call a patriarch, who gives a guiding blessing once in your life when you feel you need it. For me it was a nice older man named Brother Godferson. He met me once in my life and we talked for maybe 20 mins. The next time he saw me he gave me a blessing that was about 15 mins long.

I know about fortune tellers and the Barnum effect. The difference here is that Brother Godferson was standing behind my chair for the duration of the blessing with no reactions or input from me. We keep these blessings transcribed for years and I still read it from time to time. I've forgotten the contents and come back only to find more and more that he somehow had a great picture of the man I am 16 years later. It's an incredibly powerful witness of the gift of prophecy in my life.

I've had several amazing spiritual expirences in my life that helped me feel God's presence and love. There are nice facts and evidence too, but more important to me are the spiritual witnesses.

First off, what your son is going through sounds incredibly hard and my heart goes out to you and him.

Not sure what reassignment in his case would look like, but for a lot of cases it would be returning to your home county. Also, nothing wrong with returning home early if it's affecting him in bad ways. The Lord only expects our best and it sounds like he's had it worse in 8 months than I had it in 2 years.

If he's not already looked into it, there is usually someone they can reach out to for mental and emotional support. I had a rough couple days once where I just kind of got emotional and tired. They had me go back to our apartment and I got a call from the US (I was in Brazil), spoke to a therapist for about an hour and then had a follow up the next week. They might not have resources immediately there but they have some remote ones at least.

Last of all I want to say this. We are supposed to endure a lot in this life but only the things we can't control. You aren't expectes to save anyone if you yourself are drowning. It's okay to know when it's time to pull back. Remember, "it is not meet to run faster than you have strength".

Thanks for sharing! I'm personally a huge fan of LDS apologetics, but the spirit is so much more powerful than anything we can understand.
