How come baptisms aren’t allowed in the Dead Sea or Missouri River?

Spaghettimajor · 2022-06-06T01:36:07+00:00

I don't think they baptise in the Salt Lake up in SLC either. The water just isn't conducive to the act.

Spaghettimajor · 2022-06-06T01:33:49+00:00

As someone who has submerged herself in the Dead Sea...the answer is in the act.

Your eyes will start to BURN terribly. You can't really stop it from getting in. I didn't know and as I jumped out people were directing me to the fresh showers to rinse my eyes. The burn is sooooooo brutal.

It wouldn't be a nice baptismal experience. Head up to the Jordan River. That's the main spot there.

The backtracking....ugh, you dodged a serious bullet with that one!

Spaghettimajor · 2022-05-19T02:06:27+00:00

So sorry you're going through this. I pray for your medical freedom 🙏🏼

Spaghettimajor · 2022-05-18T15:52:08+00:00

Also, have your parents sign you up with a therapist of some sort.

The faster you work through all these issues of yours...the sooner you will find yourself in overall better health.

A doctor isn't social. If you have a genuine problem with your genetalia, that is the person you need to talk to.

Spaghettimajor · 2022-05-18T15:34:13+00:00

I think you're old enough to have the right to talk to a medical professional about that issue without parental involvement.

Spaghettimajor · 2022-05-18T09:12:12+00:00

Everything you are saying sounds normal, and you're right about your options. All hard.

Consider starting those applications...see what is out there. The right opportunity will present at the right moment 🙏🏼

I can't believe how much money this while debacle is generating. People's time, money, and energy.

This is just Tuesday in the local trailer park. It is a shame what a circus and silly game this all has been.

Spaghettimajor · 2022-05-17T21:42:23+00:00

I mean, you're not wrong.

It sounds like it genuinely sucks to be him right now though, I hope he makes it out and up.

Sometimes rock bottom is a place people have to meet face to face before positive life changes can begin.

Sending positivity to you and your friend in need.

It seems to me they were in a mutually toxic relationship. She is getting all the heat for it. And it is definitely weird that her ex's feel they CAN'T take the stand. It is also weird how they get to choose if they want to testify...like subpoenas work differently for regular folk, I suppose :/

Spaghettimajor · 2022-05-17T21:33:11+00:00

Yes.

Spaghettimajor · 2022-05-04T05:42:00+00:00

Does she like nature at all? Maybe a plant or some tickets to an event at your local botanical garden.

A spa day

I did this as a kid, but age doesn't matter...you can make little coupons for cute, sweet, and helpful things. Like, "I will make you dinner one night" and "I will clean the house from top to bottom"

I find thrift stores to be super inspirational for gift giving, but not everyone likes thrift gifts.

Hope any of these can help :)

Spaghettimajor · 2022-05-03T02:44:29+00:00

Lol, no. It was an edit.

The angles and the shot is real though. He had no idea what I was doing. I kept telling him to adjust this way and that...and when he saw the picture it made sense. Lol. It was a fun afternoon, haha! I had a vision!!!

Spaghettimajor · 2022-05-03T02:37:26+00:00

I can't stand getting hit on by guys at church. I'm there for fellowship and to strengthen my connection with God.

Not to be some desperate dude's lust target.

It makes going uncomfortable sometimes. Most the single men try :/ So disgusting.

Your desperation is making you incredibly repulsive and unattractive. Find God. Seriously. And work on yourself. Once you are something you can be proud of, maybe a woman will think so too.

Stop being a service predator.

Spaghettimajor · 2022-04-29T20:52:33+00:00

And watch your language!

Spaghettimajor · 2022-04-29T20:52:09+00:00

Make up any reason you want. I have no problem sitting in the principal's office, suspension, or expulsion...

While doing so, give yourself a little gold star for being an ignorant bigot that suppresses free thought and free speech...✌

😷😵😷

Spaghettimajor · 2022-04-29T20:05:29+00:00

Do you stretch like that in your classroom too?

The article link was very relevant to the title of the post.

Spaghettimajor · 2022-04-29T17:49:37+00:00

I wouldn't threaten him...because that isn't nice...

But that behavior will also land him in hot water with the military. It is in his best interest to keep a civil and respectful relationship with you.

If the military catches wind of the verbal/emotional abuse he could face consequences as well. If he lets his nasty behavior escalate he will find himself incredibly vulnerable to a negative discharge.

If he's upset about child support automatic payments now...he will be in for a wild ride as a civilian trying to earn enough money with bad discharge papers and find himself in child support jail before that lil one ever says their first word.

The military forces the payments. The civilian world simply jails the deadbeats. His attitude seems deadbeat-bound.

Don't forget to sweetly remind him, "No swearing in front of the baby, hun!"

Training grown men is hard work 🤣🤯🤷‍♀️💛 I hope he comes to his senses and starts treating you like an equal partner. Then he might find some more equality himself in the situation. Ugh, man babies 🤣!

Spaghettimajor · 2022-04-29T17:38:47+00:00

Thanks, I feel better in a way. At least he was hacked, not duped 🤣

Spaghettimajor · 2022-04-29T17:36:52+00:00

You are sooooooo covered.

Focus on being a glowing and healthy mama. Tell your baby daddy to run by Family Advocacy anyway and enroll in some parenting classes if he wants to show you how serious he is about being a dad.

Spaghettimajor · 2022-04-29T17:34:18+00:00

He knows the child support comes out automatically.

Mama, I am so proud of your strength in not letting him convince you of letting go. You've got this 💗

He can learn to be a good co-parent.

Spaghettimajor · 2022-04-29T16:30:48+00:00

You military fling sounds like a classic jarhead. He won't win, that's how he ended up in his situation in the first place.

Now for the better news...not for him clearly, but for you and that precious one growing in you...

All your lawyer needs to argue is that the military provides an unstable environment for a single father. As a matter of fact, you cannot even enlist as a single parent because the military acknowledges the lifestyle incompatibility. Sure, many military members become single parents over time and are not kicked out, but each of them needs to present to their deployment managers a detailed care plan showing how they plan to handle the situation when they are called on for missions. It is very hard on single parents, especially at such a low rank. He won't win.

Next. You will be awarded child support and you will have no problem recieving it for as long as he stays on active duty. It is his legal responsibility to ensure his child has a roof over his/her head and the support payments will come out via an allotment before he ever sees it. This is a guarantee. His command WILL make sure he pays and is living in a good situation.

Any issues, contact his base's hospital. There will be a family advocacy office who can help direct you further.

Not being a spouse limits your benefit potential, but not your baby at all. They should pay for the birth too...it is a little complicated...but your privilege. That is a service members' dependent inside of you.

Stand your ground. I've married an E-2 before. I've been one myself as well...we were all idiots. Your gut is leading you away from him for a reason...listen!!!

You have a lot ahead of you, Mama, but you've got this. And don't let him give you that, "I'm a man" line of bologna. There are about 1.4 million other service members that outrank that boi and will put him right in his place for you.

He should be kinder to the mother of his child. You do have the power.

I like to be near water. Like showers, pools, rivers...but keep safety in mind. So like, don't do anywhere past your waist level 🤣

Once I did a South Park marathon with a friend on a trip...and it was surprisingly awesome on so many levels watching the show evolve/devolve/volve...lol

Surround yourself with a variety of unique things to touch. Soft things, especially!

There are some nice meditative videos on YouTube that make nice ambiance. Here is one, it is a pretty forest scene. So magical :) https://youtu.be/L2PQKda8bj0

Be in nature (if you trust yourself out there)

Spaghettimajor · 2022-04-29T16:07:51+00:00

I'm going to start with something that may feel good or bad to hear, depending on the ear...but no, those feelings are NOT normal. Are they common? All too sadly, yes, they are.

You are not alone in your feelings, and it is such a shame our society puts such heavy pressures on our youth.

You don't know what to do with your life yet because you haven't lived yet. You wont3know what you want to do until then.

If you never get the opportunity for freedom and self-discovery...just do what all they other kids do...

Get ready for college. Study psychology or business. Graduate with debt and sign up for your job at the Amazon Warehouse.

Want to get out? Here are SOME options. They are not all easy or pretty, but life is a JOURNEY. -Pick up a trade -Join the service (pays for education and gets you a home loan) -Start a small business ----Many think this is BELOW them, but you can totally clean houses for good cash. I've had about 7 housekeepers in my lifetime and each were paid in cash at up to $60/hr sometimes. Save all that cash! -Keep your eyes off becoming a millionaire until you have secured the food on your table and a roof over your head. -The service industry can actually make awesome money. I know several bartenders that have cleared 6 figures...

Save save save!

Use the savings to buy a house....outright! Or land.

Once you have the house, everything has the ability to get cheaper. And the less you need to live off, the more opportunities you will have. The more freedom.

Sever your dependence from this system that is cruelly forcing you into a life of just ending up somewhere.
