I recently married a man with a 17 yr old son, My husband is retiered military, who returned to school full time and I work full time. I also bring 3 children to the marriage(ages13,9an7). I bring home 70K a yr. the step son does not work at all, has a car, is going on his senior class trip to italy, at a cost of $2200,as a graduation gift he is flying out to LA to see old friends and now wants us to also foot the bill for a summer trip to spain this summer. His car insurance is high 2′d to speeding tix’s, we paid those also! My new in laws are well off, and have made it clear there are no provisions in their will for me and mine, just the “family”
well would it be out of line to suggest that the grandparents kick in for some of this globe trotting? I have maintained a budget,gone without dental care that I need and pray nothing happens to upset my monthly budget, then is walks diamond Jim, and Big Daddy just cant say no.Hubbys argument is the other 3 will get the same someday,!??

Robot Movie?

Aliver asked:


It’s been so long since I’ve seen it. For some reason I thought Lou Diamond Phillips played a roll.
One scene is of a man standing behind a seated woman, and he squeezes her throat. The viewer thinks that she has died, but then the man takes her face off to reveal that she was really a robot.
The character that I thought Lou Diamond Phillips played, ended up having a robot that looked like him made too.
(wore a black coat? and carried a gun), and I think the bad guys were able to track his credit card spending to try to locate him.
Sorry it’s so vague!

His quotes:
History of the Church, 5:467
Don’t employ lawyers, or pay them money for their knowledge, for I have learned that they don’t know anything. I know more than they all.
History of the Church, 6:78
I combat the error of the ages; I meet the violence of mobs; I cope with illegal proceedings from executive authority; I cut the gordian knot of powers; & I solve mathematical problems of universities, with truth -diamond truth; & God is my “right hand man.”
History of the Church, 6:308
I am learned, & know more than all the world put together.
History of the Church, 6:319-320
God made Aaron to be the mouthpiece for the children of Israel, & He will make me to be a god to you in His stead, and the Elders to be mouth for me; and if you don’t like it, you must lump it.
WHAT ABOUT MATT 18:4 JAMES 4:6?
Joseph Fielding Smith, LDS’ 10th president, went on record as saying that there is “no salvation without Joseph Smith.” (Doctrine of Salvation 1:189)
WHAT ABOUT JOHN 10:1?
I DID NOT take anything out of context. The duck lady just spit it back out and it says the same thing!!! How can you not believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST OF THE BIBLE only and choose to believe this CRAP???
