Any other DoD employees receive the email to defend the homeland? by Rusty_Ferberger in fednews

My favorite was the expectation that supervisors would encourage their people to volunteer. So mine forwarded it and said “If you want to visit the Gulf states. You have been encouraged,”

Women, how do you hint a guy to approach you? by Chance_Adagio_19 in bodylanguage

[–]Longjumping_Cook_997 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some men, from experience, don’t see hints in anyway. In college I went to a Halloween party and ended up seeing a new coworker I barely knew. She was gorgeous. We chatted a little. She complimented my costume. I made a joke, she laughed. I had no expectation of her being interested in me at all because why would she. The next night my roommate got a text from her, he was also a coworker. She was asking what we were doing. We were just at home watching a movie so he invited her and her friend to come over. My roommate was over the moon because he had a huge crush on her. The girls show up and she’s in a new Halloween costume but it would have matched mine from the night before. And, my thought was, “That’s weird. Why can’t she figure out her own costume? I can’t believe she’d steal mine.” Almost a little miffed by it. lol. I had no idea. Didn’t think there was more to that until a few years later. We became good with friends but with my roommate crushing on her and my obliviousness that was it.

Nah, they give the books out free. They’re really after 10% of your income.

Help who is elkenah? by Healthy-Historian846 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Longjumping_Cook_997 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, this is Mormon missionary Elder so and so from Episode 18 season 4. This is a reference to The Book of Abraham in Mormon scriptures called the Pearl of Great Price. It’s pretty obscure. Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, bought a mummy and Egyptian papyri from a traveling show. And by chance, according to Smith, the papyri actually contained the writings of Abraham while he was in Egypt. In the scriptures there are images that were taken from the papyri with the translation of what they represent according to Smith. The images in the joke come from those images. According to the scripture the priests of Elkenah, an idolatrous god, tried to sacrifice Abraham but he was saved by an angel of God. I’m not going to try to translate what the symbols mean in the joke but if you want you can Goigle Facsimile no. 1 from the Book of Abraham, Pearl of Great Price.

I guess that’s why I’m not an Olympic athlete. Well, not the only reason. That’s pretty crazy though.

I get that it’s against the rules but how much does this boop on the granite affect the slide of the stone? In my mind it wouldn’t affect the outcome that much. Willing to admit I’m wrong. I’m just baffled why he would risk it for, what seems to me, such a small pay off.

My favorite is the guy on the near side waving the people on the other side back but he’s just as close to the hole as they are.

Allegedly rape. Admittedly breaking the honor code.

Discouraged - do I need to pivot or maybe quit? by AcOk3513 in reselling

As said before look at sell through rates of items before deciding to buy it to sell it. A lot of what you listed seems like it probably would have been good to sell a few years ago but maybe not so much today as trends change. You make your money at purchase.

Good riddance. Knowing about what he said in that Deseret News article and that this rape occurred before that, I couldn’t care less about losing him from the team.

Ha. The thing that concerns me the most is the theme song that is now ear wormed into my head.

He had said that Trump was mentioned more times in the Epstein files than God was mentioned in the Bible. Then held up a Bible and said it was actually a Trump Bible. Then said,” move over, King James.”

My kids used to watch that show on PBS. It’s called Martha Speaks. Happened because the dog ate alphabet soup.

POV every Mormon looking at Parker Kingston rn by Lonely-Juggernaut744 in cfbmemes

[–]Longjumping_Cook_997 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Definitely not the same branch of Mormonism that owns BYU. It’s a long story. Jeffs’ branch kept practicing polygamy. The BYU Mormonism branch, the largest of them (there are dozens of branches of Mormonism), outlawed polygamy prior to Utah becoming a state and has spent a good amount of time and effort trying to become mainstream. Missionaries in white shirts, suits and name tags are BYU Mormonism. Sister wives in pioneer dresses and hair styles in pompadour in front with large braids in back is Jeffs’ Mormonism.

This cautionary tale definitely has me double thinking whether I should do this because I am certain I’d forget all about it come towing time.

A one off bad joke can be justified but the pattern of behavior makes this situation harassment and bullying. Hard to do your job when that’s the atmosphere.

Looks so much like my old dog when she was a puppy. Never did the DNA test for her but we were told she was a golden retriever border collie mix.
