By Stephen Judd One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events. The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general. The Grandfather replied, Well, let me think a minute, I was born before: Television, penicillin, polio shots, frozen foods, Xerox, contact lenses, Frisbees and the pill. There were no: credit cards, laser beams or ball-point pens. Man had not invented: pantyhose, air conditioners, dishwashers, clothes dryers, the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air, and man hadn't yet walked on the moon. Your Grandmother and I got married first, and then lived together. Every family had a father and a mother. Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense. We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege.
Denver, Colorado: A year-old man came out as gay to his friends and family via email and Facebook during the Pride Month. Kenneth Felts, former counsellor and supervisor from Colorado, knew that he was gay since the age of 12 and decided to go public while trying to write his memoirs amid lockdown. He began to relive the romance he had with a man named Philip in the s. Recalling the memories of his relationship with Philip prompted Kenneth to go public. People who came out, came out on their own, without support. The two lost contact after splitting up. Kenneth went on to marry a woman. He had a daughter with her, but the couple divorced. Opening that door at the front, I had great trepidation as to what people would say. As Kenneth's story went viral on Facebook, netizens showered him love and support.
I've luckily broken down my GF's defenses about the church a little bit. Even Mormon girls who marry non-Mormons want great dads for their kids, and they are oriented to having kids, sometimes many kids. This can be a good way to learn more about your personalities. Mormon girls are raised to believe their worth is how young they marry and how many kids they have. I adored seeing him when I could planned good home made meals and always sent him off the next night with a special packed lunch. Dozens of missionaries have told me that the gender ratios in other countries are far, far worse. Know that you are playing a game aka dating mormon girls that has low odds of success. It sounds like if we were to have a happy ending, it wouldn't be quite so happy because of how we raise our kids or how the rest of the family would treat me forever We'll discuss it again in more depth now that I have a few specific concerns about what our future together might look like. There are billions of other girls out there who I wouldn't have issues like this with. I knew that when I met him.

Your Grandmother and I got married first, and then lived together. Every family had a father and a mother. Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense.
We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege. We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent. Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins. Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started. Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums.
We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings. I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey. Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of. Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel.
And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards. Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon. We were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby. So, how old do you think grandpa is?
