  • D&C 89:9

    Today has gone smoothly so far but I’ve already had too much sugar and caffeine. That did not stop me from letting my wife order a cold brew horchata for me. I have never read the exegesis about Doctrine & Covenants 89:9 which specifically forbids “hot drinks.” I’m not really inclined to do so. That…

  • A Career Path

    What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? I don’t think I have a career path and never have. I’ve had jobs and a lot of them have been customer service. Is that a career? I don’t know. Walgreens feels like a vehicle I’m riding in and not a final destination. Caregiving…

  • Sausages

    It is two o’clock in the morning here. I woke up after three hours of dreamless sleep. Now I’m not tired. I have Pharmacy today so I need to go back to bed. I already took an extra Trazadone to get to sleep the first time so that’s our. It’s too early in the morning…

  • Original Version

    I am reading the original version of the Book of Mormon. I just finished the first chapter today. It has been reproduced faithfully right down to the typographical errors. I was challenged by a former member and missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with his complaint that the Book of Mormon…

  • Hating is Natural

    I occasionally encounter the saying that “We are taught to hate.” I disagree with both the sentiment and the logic. Human beings are hardwired to be tribal creatures. We have to work and be taught to accept others that are not like us. Love is a learned behavior not hate. Hate is an aspect of…

  • Magic Pancakes

    What food would you say is your specialty? When the children were all young, they and my wife were eligible (all at once) for WIC. That is the Women, Infant, and Children food program. We got, among other things, 18 eggs every week. That was way more than we could eat fried or scrambled. Since…

  • Spiders

    When I was seven or eight I went to Thursday Evening Liturgies with the adults at my father’s Episcopal Church. I always felt very grown up but they incorporated a gong into the service which I got to play at the correct moments. There was an offering plate that got passed around and I always…

  • Hostages

    What major historical events do you remember? The first major event in the world that I remember was the crisis where US citizens were held hostage in Iran. I like Jimmy Carter. He’s a good man. But I don’t think he was a good president. Those hostages sat for over a year and he didn’t…

  • Rent Dream

    Sometimes my dreams make sense. I just woke up from a dream where I was living with a rental contract in a hotel. I was either the only one with that kind of contract or the first one because my paper lease had a “#1” on it. The lease was for one person and had…

  • Mr. Miggle

    This is Mr. Miggle. I drew him in the 2D animation section of Blender and recorded the animation with OBS. Then I uploaded the video to Facebook, took a screenshot with my phone, cropped it, and uploaded that modified image here. This is what I do for fun and at least one of the reasons…
