I'm in but could be auto drafting as we'll likely be in the midst of the worst hurricane in my lifetime. An earthquake and hurricane the same week in NJ.
That wrath of god thing is finally coming through.

Felix Jones is gonna be huge until he gets hurt. No more Marion the Barbarian in D.
Man what a puss. A 5.8 earthquake and a category 3 hurricane? That's nothing. Let me know when you've lived through a category 5 hurricane and we'll compare stories.I'm in but could be auto drafting as we'll likely be in the midst of the worst hurricane in my lifetime.

Did you really endure one?
I'm a little on edge because I just bought my first home and it's had some issues, one of which was a roof leak that I (hopefully) had fixed correctly. I also live on the edge of a flood plain. I didn't have to get flood insurance but am literally right on the border so I'm a little concerned though even when we had over four inches of rain a week ago, my basement remained bone dry. Plus Ms. Serp hasn't helped. Her **** has an itch and she bought five rolls of duct tape to use on the windows, which in my opinion, we won't need, because it's only going to be a category 2/3 up here and we have newer windows.
You are going to have a super time getting duct tape glue off your glass.
Yes. When I was on my mission in Honduras, Hurricane Mitch came rolling through. At that point in time, it was the most destructive Hurricane to ever hit the Caribbean (I think a worse one has gone through since). It was a big 5. Where I was, we got no wind, but it rained like a bitch for like a week straight. I think we had like 30" in a 24 hour period at one time during that week. Entire neighborhoods were washed down the hillsides in Honduras and Nicaragua. Entire towns disappeared. The area I was transferred out of a month before it hit was flooded to point of people living on rooftops for days. As missionaries, we did nothing but service for a week after, helping people dig out. In downtown Tegucigalpa, entire buildings were full of solid mud from the river flooding. We went to a machine shop to help and it was literally floor to ceiling, wall to wall mud. I was extremely worried that we would find a dead body in the mud. We went without water for weeks after Mitch. It was an experience I'll never forget and can't really explain.Did you really endure one?

Which would you rather have in a PPR League?

^ You realize that the VAST majority of Mormon missionaries do this on a regular basis on their mission? People always bitch about them coming to their doors, but are quick to forget about all of the service they do. If not for 8 missionaries doing service for my family and me, I wouldn't be a Mo.
This was off topic, but I really hate people who are anti-Mormon.
Ya, not really. The VAST majority of Mormon missionaries spend the VAST majority of their time knocking doors/street contacting/visiting members (active/inactive/part member) and teaching. Service like that is a very small part of the mission, if the 4 missions on 3 continents (I saw the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean on my mission) I served in are any indication.^ You realize that the VAST majority of Mormon missionaries do this on a regular basis on their mission?
Dude, I can still read what you wrote. Here:You misunderstood what I wrote, Thomas. What I meant was that the VAST majority of Missionaries spend a lot of time doing service.
The vast majority of missionaries do not help out victims of hurricanes on a regular basis. They spend 4 hours MAX(by the letter of the law, anyway) out of the 60+ hours they're out doing missionary work per week. Forgettable, generally, I'd say. And, for what it's worth, only in the first of my missions (North Carolina-Raleigh) was I expected to do any service at all. You happened to be a less active member with an active GF...prime pickin's. That, plus the whole living in Utah thing (since, you know, knocking on doors in some areas would be an absolute waste of time), is why you've seen/experienced a disproportionate amount of Mormon missionary service. And hey, you're back at church, so it paid off in the end.the VAST majority of Mormon missionaries do this on a regular basis on their mission[.] People always bitch about them coming to their doors, but are quick to forget about all of the service they do.
Bull ****. I never would have argued about what you did on your mission. And, again, those are the standard rules. 4 hours maximum for community service. I don't doubt that there are exceptions to the rule (I have no problem with what catratcho has written in this thread, and I forwarded an example from a mission I served in), but those are just that: Exceptions.GVC is the same guy who tried to argue with me about how much service work we did while on my mission. Just because he may not have been required to do service work longer than 4 hours a week, doesn't mean that all missions are the same.
