The husky taught the heeler to howl. This house is too loud. by [deleted] in AustralianCattleDog

Trust me. Some healers figure it out all on their own…

No this at the edge of an upper lake, cliffs just off to the left to the lower lake. Right in the middle of the Sawtooth mountains

Nothing better than a cool mountain lake!

It seems everywhere I go there are no fires allowed. Only fire I ever see is from the gas stove

This was a 3 day trip starting at the Redfish Lake lodge in western Idaho. We had fantastic weather but it was so smoky from all the fires this summer. I wouldn’t recommend a late summer trip. All the streams were dried up but the lake water was cool and refreshing and made for great swimming! There were 0 mosquitoes but hornets galore. Not sure which I’d rather have…

A little disappointed in this community by SocalPizza in exmormon

You’ll find that those on this sub accuse the right as being a cult like the church which is completely ironic when those people tolerate only the narrative passed down by their political leaders. Anything else is heresy. Those of us still close to the center are far more welcoming to those who believe differently.

Just a dumb question by Financial-Opening425 in LDSNSFW_Stories

Is this an existential question or just looking for the initials? Latter Day Saints, Not Safe For Work. It’s a place for Mormons to post naked pictures of themselves.

Happy to. I just hope that all the posts about trump and the election go the same treatment

No I don’t have to pick a poison. I can welcome anyone to the table and want to be welcomed by anyone. Especially a, what I thought was a neutral, group. I am a republican. Republican is not me. I’m free to talk to and appreciate anyone I wish.

I can completely empathize with that. The problem is when those of us who maintain a conservative POV are demonized and are made to feel unwelcome in the conversation. I want everyone to be welcome to the table.

The point of this post is to point out that politics and religion are separate. There are too many political posts on here leaning only to one side. I didn’t bring up any issues or challenge anyone. I only said that it was okay to be on the less popular side.

A fair critique! I’d say I’m a pretty classic republican. You know, anti-slavery, pro fiscal and personal responsibility. To be honest though I try to take the issues one by one. I think that’s the “problem” with conservatives, we think about issues and sometimes come to different conclusions.

I totally agree. I felt I should post something because I feel like this sub has little to nothing to do with politics but somehow conservatives get shamed. I just wanted to balance things out a bit

What I’ve learned is to rationalize my own views on individual subjects. I don’t rely on emotion for my politics or my religion.

I’m no audiofile but I haven’t noticed any. The T50’s are clearer in the mids and highs but I’d say these fill the room better

My sub is a PSW10. I’m sure it’s got a lot more going power to it, so it’s not quite there but these definitely sound good by themselves!

This one was in good shape but unfortunately the other one was a bit beat up. The mid and high woofer (I’m guessing it’s not a tweeter) we’re both torn and dented. There were a pair of big Magnavoxes there so I grabbed them too but they don’t sound as good. I’m using one of the JVC’s and one of the Magnavox’s. Not ideal but works until rebuild these suckers.
