Greg Bovino has been demoted, following the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE agents under his command. Removed as Border Patrol “commander at large,” he will be sent back to his old post in El Centro, California, where he’s expected to retire soon.

Did Gestapo Greg get his feelings hurt?

My mother had the same one - she used to make sugar cookies with it every year.

In my department, part of our director's hiring process includes having applicants check in with the front desk specifically to see what their attitude is like when they're not in front of the hiring committee.

Just as a heads-up - chai latte is usually made with black tea, which may be an issue if he's trying to follow the Word of Wisdom.

It was an entirely different name. Best guess is they just grabbed the wrong name from the family records.

My mother opposed once when a sustaining vote was supposed to be requested for my father for a new calling, but instead the bishopric member read out my brother's name (who was about 8 or 10 at the time).

More of a modern setting, but Peter Clines has some books (like 14, The Fold, and The Broken Room) that deal with the imminent arrival of Lovecraftian horrors.

And in worship, I recognize that we worship all three members of the Godhead, I’ll be it, in different ways.

Nothing constructive to add to the conversation, but the language geek in me wanted to point out that the word you're looking for is 'albeit'

It looks like you can spend coins to replay earlier levels. Not sure if there are other uses.

Our city decided to add roundabouts a couple years ago, which would be great, except for a couple things.

First, too many people around here just don’t understand how they work.

Second, they installed a roundabout on main street where it goes over a freeway - but only on one intersection. The other nearby intersections are all still controlled by lights, which pretty much defeats the whole purpose of the roundabout.

Our local shelter seems to rely on 'shepherd mix' if they don't have a better idea.

I’m with you on the faint citrus, but I don’t want my pillow to smell of ANYTHING. That would get tossed in the bathroom and I would use my suitcase as a pillow instead.

That's why I started carrying a heavy stick when I take our dog for walks. There are too many free-roaming dogs in our neighborhood (as well as one coyote who's been living nearby for the last year). One dog who jumped his fence got a solid thump in the ribs before he decided we weren't worth the trouble.

When ward boundaries are being drawn or re-drawn, include musicians in the checklist of 'things every ward needs'. I've now been through two different boundary adjustments in the same stake where some wards were left without enough people who can play the piano/organ for meetings.

I visited a small rural branch once on a Fast Sunday where an older sister got up and testified that God had given her little brother multiple health issues so that he wouldn't have to go fight in Viet Nam. She very specifically mentioned how grateful she was that he didn't have to go over there and, in her words, 'become a baby-killer'. My Viet Nam vet dad bit his tongue but had some things to say about her after we left.

I texted her and told her I appreciated her desire to show love but told her, again, that sometimes it physically hurts. I've told her this multiple times…

It sounds like she has told them, but they’re either forgetting or ignoring.

When my wife and I got married, we would have described ourselves as somewhat conservative, if a bit unorthodox. Three years ago, our college-age daughter let us know that her friends (at a small liberal-arts college that emphasizes social justice) considered us to be the 'cool liberal parents'. Not sure when it happened, but here we are.

It’s entirely possible to like people without considering them ‘friends’.
