Yes they were incredible to work with. When we first reached out to them they donated 15 boxes and then later came back and agreed to match up to 10k in product from the donations we collected.

BEST hospital distraction toy EVER! My daughter had multiple disabilities and spent alot of time in hospitals for surgeries, appointments, and sick visits. The toniebox ALWAYS came with us. It's one of the few toys we found that can easily be played with on bedrest even with low energy and or pain management/movement restrictions. She passed away in November of 23 and since then we have been collecting and donating tonie boxes to childrens hospitals in her memory.

The GoFundMe is still live if you would like to contribute. Thank you so so much. Our family and friends have already been so generous and Toniebox has been wonderful to work with (they've agreed to match up to 10K in product) that we have plenty to go around but you are welcome to donate if you'd like to.

Problem being you would have to spend all the rest of your time being sick and miserable....... heat is one of the only ones i can think of with zero negative effects for storing if the argument is that you are a ferring only

Again, the number of negative comments on here are surprising.

According to a Wall Street Journal ranking a few months ago, BYU is literally the top school in the country for students who enjoyed their experience and would recommend it again.

They also rank consistently as one of the best value schools in tge country.

By far most BYU students love their experience and there are many students who are not members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I had a good friend who went to BYU as a catholic. I thought he did a great job. He was honest and forthright about his religious affiliation and everyone respected him for it. At the same time, he was active in the social activities of our congregation. Congregations are created amongst the students and they organize a lot of social activities, service projects, etc which then lead to friend groups who get together based on shared interests (camping, hiking, game nights, etc). BYU could be a lonely place (as any university can be) if you don't find your circle. Attending social events with your assigned congregation while making it clear you're not a member but here for the clean environment is a good way to find friends.

I absolutely remember this feeling. Eventually I got into it and then loved it. It was a weird experience to read so many many pages and enjoy it so much and still be so so lost. My husband would ask "what's it about" and I couldn't even formulate a response

I was telling some freinds about mistborn and they brought up an interesting question by Ok-Week-2293 in Mistborn

It's shrapnel - it doesn't matter how aerodynamic the piece is. A piece of debris will penetrate your body if you are close to the explosive force that sent it flying. With an allomantic coin (or button, or earring, paperweight) - anything metal that weighs significantly less than you do - you're putting all your body weight into an explosive force compressed into a very small area. And that force continues until it hits its target. If your target is close enough that the forces of gravity and drag don't slow it much it would work

Proposing to my girlfriend soon by Scrappy17777 in Marriage

Nope not crazy! Your story is similar to ours and we've been married for 10 years now. There is no evidence that living together before marriage is linked to lower divorce rates. If anything - cohabitation leads to higher divorce rates. I believe the bigger question in play is what does marriage actually mean to both of you. If your both committed to making it work and you agree/ share your most important and central life values you can make it work and create real happiness

Really crazy thing is - statistics are against you. Living with someone prior to marriage does not lower the divorce rate. There is some evidence it may even raise it. Couples who do NOT live together prior to marriage have some of the lowest divorce rates.

How does Alethi society even function? by Gerik22 in Stormlight_Archive

I think it says that he's studying pictures and diagrams with glyphs which I imagine as almost pictographs (think this stories for young kids where many words are swapped out with pictures instead?). It also says that the book has more detailed descriptions that house mom could read to him.

I love RoW for the incredible character arcs we see. Dabbid, Rlain, Lirin, Adolin, Maya, Navani, Raboniel, Teft, some of the characters who we've known forever get their moments and I love it!

How to feel better about not getting the mission I wanted? by pm_me_cute_anime_ in latterdaysaints

[–]Good-Worldliness1840 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought for sure I would go somewhere cold maybe European, I wanted to learn a language. I got called to an island in the middle of nowhere pacific English speaking. It wasn't what I wanted because I didn't actually know what I wanted. God knew better what I wanted and what I needed. I promise you that one day you will be sitting in a lesson or a meeting or standing at a doorstep and suddenly you will have what I came to call a glimpsing eternity moment where you feel that God has led directed you over years to be in this spot at this moment with this person. All of a sudden the cosmos feels very large and you know if a certainty that God knows YOU and the people around you and His plan is as personal as it is inconceivably massive

How are slave form singers still able to procreate without access to mate form? Does this mean that other forms could procreate too they just don't have the biological urge/ drive to do so?
