By this he meant we would likely never do anything good enough to get on the news and we wouldn't do anything stupid enough to get on the news.

I'm amazed we don't lose more there. It's Disneyland crowded lately.

Huh. Learned something new. I didn’t know Angels Landing was locked down due to Covid. No one there then?

You dangled while the other scout clinged to your body?

Did you keep in touch with that kid? I wonder how his life turned out. Not that you could take all the credit, but you

Thanks for asking. I was just talking to my mom about him.

That's good to hear. But if he makes his quorum do "the circle", that might be almost as bad as the serial killer route.

What's "the circle"?

Back in the day, when we actually met together for Elder's Quorum, we'd put the chairs in a circle. I never knew why.

Interesting. My quorums have never done it but I visited one that did and loved

Our EQ did that too for a while. It made for a large circle.

If he had turned out to be a serial killer or something, I think it would have been fair to blame deeklyfter.

Must have been the most terrifying 30(!) minutes of your life.

You caught a kid by the fingertips and held onto him for 30 minutes?

Don't be ridiculous. I'm sure he got a better grip once they stopped sliding.

Cru Jones

That, and I had to switch hands a couple of times, I mean the kid loved cheetos

DeekLyfter

You're telling me that you held this kid who in all probability weighed 150 lbs
