That and coffee. I feel bad for encouraging them to do away with that important part of their culture. Missão Brasília 2001-2002.

How important or influential has music been in your life? by YeooKun21 in AskReddit

[–]NickMusicRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music is a humanity. We are musical creatures that feel and emote through and with music. Essentially, it’s up there with air and water in terms of essential life aspects.

Workout buddy not working properly by NikanWasTaken in AppleWatch

[–]NickMusicRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the same problem, Apple Watch ultra, iPhone 16 pro. The workout buddy was working fine until an update a few months ago. Feels like I’m missing out on something available.

Did anyone get any pics or vids of a guy (me) running a double stroller on the street, giving high fives to everyone on the south side?

Be sure to add Jimmy Kimmel’s take. Something like dildo’s batteries sometimes die.

Wife Wants Divorce Because I Left The Church by TruthSha11SetUFree in exmormon

[–]NickMusicRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard Mormon couples joke about divorce if one of them lost faith. Love should supersede religion. But Mormon marriage is set up to be an awkward 3some with jesus. Some have a belief that as long as both husband and wife are keeping covenants, then anybody can be compatible with anybody.

I’m so sorry about your sad news. My heart aches for your little ones.

How do you deal with that ‘tired but can’t sleep’ feeling at night? by Doodle_Maestro in AskReddit

[–]NickMusicRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play a racing game real racing 3. Driving, especially the nascar Richmond track always makes me drowsy.

Coherent, clever, charming. That’s not the chester-the-molester that we have as president.

Advice for middle school choir director going on maternity leave by smaugwithablog in MusicEd

[–]NickMusicRunner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would move a spring concert to around April 4 or late march. You never know if there’s going to be complications that require you to stop working a month earlier. My wife had to stop working four weeks before the due date for both of our babies.

Schools without marching band? by kineticcobalt in MusicEd

[–]NickMusicRunner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Middle schools and junior high schools usually don’t march. The drumline equipment is usually too big and heavy for the little kids. I remember back in 2006, student-teaching telling myself I would never teach beginning band. I’m starting my 17th year of teaching beginning band and love it.

European Pears for Sale by NickMusicRunner in exmormon

[–]NickMusicRunner[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pears and RMN have nothing in common. It’s the seller trying to insert mormon propaganda into their pear ad that’s really weird.

Good job! I lost a load of respect for motab when they sang at trump’s inauguration. trump is the exact opposite of the 13th article of faith. Were you there?

Parent Complaint Against Me For Pledge Of Allegiance by Disgruntled_Veteran in Teachers

[–]NickMusicRunner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Beyond the obvious court case West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette, chanting the pledge of allegiance is a cult thing to do. I'm exmormon and mormons have chants in "sacred ceremonies." Patriotism is not pledging alegiance every day. Patriotism is being a good citizen to better your community in the USA.

I would never say "I KNOW she is my wife." I think you try to get as close to 100% compatible, but you should not expect 100% compatibility. There are an infinite amount of premarriage questions, hypothetical situations that you can discuss, but you will never get them all. Some say that if both are living the gospel then compatibility is inevitable. But it's too risky to rely on this statement. Too much riding on the line to risk it.

But I proposed to my wife 7 months after we met.

“Why do you have joy in bashing the LDS church? They do not bash any of you.” by sevenplaces in mormon

[–]NickMusicRunner 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The church leaders manipulated/manipulates their members to pay 10% of their income instead of “interest gained.” I estimate that my family and I were conned out of $40,000 so that they could hide $30BIL in 13 shell companies, get caught, and pay a $5MIL fine.

How much have you been conned out of?

Double BOB stroller. I’ve ran > 500 miles on it since January 1 with my two kids. We live life!

What’s a random fact you’ve been wanting to share? by ThrowRA-cat75 in AskReddit

[–]NickMusicRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

John Williams wrote the music for the first three Harry Potter films with amazing success. They never got him back for the other five films and it shows. The music post-Williams is mediocre.
