Be careful.

Giving them an engagement ring is consenting to ritual sacrifice.

You know, I don't have any of those. And I never saw anything inherently 'magic' about them when I helped fold laundry as a kid, but hey. I don't know the whole meaning and ritual behind it all, having never been through the temple for that particular deal, but the gist is, from what I've heard, that it has to do with modesty, with remembering the sacred covenants one has made, and taking them seriously and such - which leads to following the gospel, and overall leading a better life - wherein comes the blessings and 'protections' and what not. I could be wrong, but there ya have it, fwiw.

Robbed... by you? :p

Gim wrote:I personally liked Kalosia's over Normandy's, because the graphics and the level of organization by the former were just pure excellence. Normandy, I think, N&P only got the majority of the votes, because he was innovative by using a PDF brochure-type presentation.

I don't currently have as much time as usual to host which is why my bid has been downsized, but if I have the time I actually have a great idea for my next bid - not an original one, but an upgrade to a previous idea that will bring my bid to a whole new level. As for what that idea is... you'll find out eventually ;)

Polkopia wrote:Yeah, true. Also, apparently Kalosia and I were in the same Skype group chat and we didn't notice it until like 3 months after it was formed. Small world, heh.

How different am I on NationStates vs on Skype? :p
and the only reason you found out was because I posted my remix, i.e. my WV41 tune on the chat. I kinda wish you found out in a different way, like me introducing NS to the group or bringing up Annalisa's Una Finestra Tra Le Stelle (your winning WV39 melody - esp bc i'd say "someone on the internet introduced me to it" but little would i know that person is in the same skype group!)

Polkopia wrote:There wasn't. It was a Tumblr Eurovision fans one that we just so happened to be in together, haha

It isn't very active atm but I still chat regularly with the group owner/moderator/admin; I initially had a project w/ him that lead to me discovering the tune that I eventually used for my winning WV42 entry... the domino effect eh

I didn't know that, religious jews wear a fringed garment under their clothes for a similar purpose, it's a remindER of the closeness of god.

I very much doubt there is. I'll try and look for it. But this book was already old 2 decades ago when I first read it.
