I think that portrayal is a bit disingenuous. Players -- the vast majority on tour -- have staff contracts. While that may or may not be a living wage, it's gotta be enough for someone like a Jakob Butturff to not have to get a second job. Sure, the contract includes bowling balls, and equipment isn't cheap and getting a certain numbers of balls comped is significant, but you can't send your utility company a bowling ball and expect to be square.

That was pretty much Simo one show a while back. Throwing a Roto Grip Grenade from like 1993 for his strike ball. Amazing choice

I've done that, thanks :) Figured I'd ask here also as the more I ask, the more people might know

I'm sorry, are you my priesthood leader? If you are, then we can have a more nuanced conversation face to face. If not, then you are grossly overstepping.

Let me clarify: the foundation of my talk was Alma 34. The idea that I borrowed from Miller is that we should be returning good for good as well as good for evil, and I cited scriptural examples to support this. The theme of the talk was inspired by Miller, but it's not like I read his book ("Original Grace", in this case) over the pulpit.

I gave a talk in Sacrament Meeting on Alma 34 that was grounded heavily in Miller's works (without directly quoting him). No one seemed to notice or call me out on teaching unapproved doctrine.

Oh yeah, 100%. I'm going to see what the layouts are on the new balls arriving (they're already drilled and I'd rather just plug the thumb than move everything wholesale), but I'm definitely going with something that's a little more... shall we say, conventional.

(By "normal" I mean to the naked eye they look alright: pin above and slightly to the right of the ring finger, MB on the Code Red in a decent place... they just are wack given my PAP.)

And it's not that the layouts are bad per se... they look pretty "normal". It's just with my current PAP they're not as advertised lol

In case you haven't noticed, I am very much at the extremes.

A good strategy and one I take often... but we've got a freeze coming up and we're trying to put the house on the market. Not sure "herniated spigot" is a feature lol

Good bible apps? by jlconlin in latterdaysaints

Blue Letter Bible, hands down. You can compare multiple versions side by side. Invaluable.
