I'm not sure what to think about this one. Girls Basketball Team Wins 100-0, Seeks Forfeit DALLAS A Texas high school girls basketball team on the winning end of a 100-0 game has a case of blowout remorse. Now officials from the winning school say they are trying to do the right thing by seeking a forfeit...

I watched Ben Stein's movie, "Expelled", the other day. It was interesting in many ways, but one question that came up for me was this: Isn't every believing LDS, by default, a proponent of intelligent design? I mean, whether you believe the straight story from Genesis or whether you beli...

Our Christmas was kind of humble this year, but very fun and very memorable because of family and the gospel. Later we go over to my brother's for Christmas dinner.

While my favorite OS by far remains the Mac OS, until I get my laptop fixed or replaced I'm using Linux on my PC hardware. Now, I'm a Windows expert, but I also know Unix, and I'm finding Ubuntu Linux to be a much more pleasant experience than Windows so far.

Why do we need unions today? I understand the history and necessity of them in the beginning. But, it seems as if unions are there to preserve jobs (even when someone should be fired), inflate salaries, and provide a ridiculous amount of benefits. Tell me I'm wrong and why.

Our mailbox got destroyed recently. We'll probably be able to put it back together, but this is an ongoing problem. I'm told that previously it has been destroyed by farm equipment passing by or even the rural mail carrier (the rural mail carrier had a turqouise paint job, and the destroyed mailbox ha...

I think it'd be funny if we had a "Swear Jar" and those who were most naughty on the board might have pressure brought to bear, to buy the next month's funding so it can be perpetuated banner ad free... It could be like selling indulgences... ...where has that ever gone wrong?

We're finally going to be able to move our cat house (a shed we remodeled to be the luxury condo for our cat studs). At first we had thought we'd get a lot of people from the ward together, jack it up, and put a trailer underneath it. But the schedules have never worked out well enough for us to be able to borro...

Spammity spam! Any ideas how to convince people that I don't work for a spam company? As of Monday, I will be working for an email marketing company. They help companies come up with email campaigns.

We're moving in the near future. Our lease is up and we get to find a new place. The problem is I haven't found a house in the ward we're currently in. Our 13 year old son really loves the ward.

I had a tire blowout on the way to work today. I was driving in the left lane on a highway, where there's basically no shoulder on the left side.

For the first couple months after going on my current eating plan I let my husband do most of the cooking and I fended for myself.
