"Every female who has not been placed, can, by proper arrangements, demand to be married."

That's a "be careful what you ask for" situation if I ever saw one. (Particularly if you live in the shadow of a psychiatric hospital.)

My great great grandfather was commanded my Brigham Young to marry a widowed mother and her daughter.

I know right?!

My mind gets all boggley.

Joking aside I think that would be a very interesting family dynamic to watch as a fly on the wall.

Well, the doctrine of polygamy was for welfare as much as for multiplying.

Quote

The certainty is that your body will, in due time, grow old and eventually become uninhabitable.

Oh yeah? Tell that to the bacteria and worms waiting for you to die.

Uninhabitable for our spirits, at any rate (which was clear from context). I just thought it was an amusing way to put it.

Even in regards to our spirits it's not true. Did Elijah's body become uninhabitable?

Maybe you should take it up with President Packer, who wrote the article.

I have issues with President Packer I would resolve first before that one.

Well, I'll let you two work it out.

Until one of us is uninhabitable then!

I like it.

I'm also a big fan of Packer.

I like President Packer just fine, but some of his decisions regarding church administration bother me. I'm sure that could be said of just about anybody though.

A faculty member took the executive to task for using the word "meeting invite" in an email. He said that you invite someone to a meeting or extend a meeting invitation, but not a meeting invite. So I hopped on to OED (thanks to my awesome local library) and took a screen shot for her that shows that invite has been used as a noun since 1615.

She works hard for the money, so hard for it honey... (I am singing this about my job typing, and not to say "we did work hard for the money" and vice versa.)

What the heck is that from, pooka?

Plaintiff interrogatories definitions and instructions. I'm afraid it might be standard for this sort of thing.

The Genuine · « **Reply #1170 on:** October 16, 2012, 06:31:52 AM »

I've never seen anything quite like that before. In fact, I think it disadvantageously adds a lot of ambiguity.

The point of interrogatories and requests for admission is to back people into corners. The only time you want to be really broad is with requests for production (usually documents).

It's a mistaken identity case involving the AP and the NYT (a classroom treatment of an actual case from 1998). So a lot of it involves documents, photos, records, communications which include... (someone kill me before I continue)
