I have heard that if you have too many open accounts, even with zero balances, it may count against you because you have the potential to go too far into debt compared to your ability to repay.

Knew a PO in Northern Cal that had an affair with his daughter's friend. He was early 50s, and his "babe" was 17 when they met. Carried on for some time. He was disfellowshipped, divorced his wife of 30 plus years and married the girl after she turned 18.
Here's another one for ya.
This elder, also from Northern California, was in his early 50s and struck up a relationship with a 17 year old pioneer sister in his hall. Left his wife of 30 plus years, married the youngin'.
In case you were concerned about their "spiritual condition," happily both ex elders are re-instated, along with their new/young wives. I figure they are reaching out now for a fine office.
Both ex wives are still plugging away, supporting themselves and their children. The kids are a little mixed up.

Is that the one with Goldie Hawns in "Laugh in?'
YES! And they were "hot." Bikinis et al.
I remember when she came to our Circuit Assembly to tell her experience. As a teenager, I was very impressed.

by Lady Liberty inthe horseshoe crab's miracle bloodalthough the horseshoe crab is considered a living fossil, its blue blood provides modern medicine with a substance that is crucial for drug testing.
although horseshoe crabs have remained relatively unchanged for over 250 million years this living fossil of a creature now provides modern science with a substance crucial for saving thousands of lives.
this is the miracle blue blood of the horseshoe crabs.

I don't think that it is "IN" all injectables. It is used to test all injectables. Big difference.

'63 Convention - Rose Bowl fiasco
by Gregor in) day ordeals.
the pasadena rose bowl is in a canyon and this was dead summer, temps.
over 100,000 in attendance.

"Divine Endurance." LOL.
Yes, I remember the Rose Bowl in 1963. Ice water in a jug, and wet papertowels got us through the heat. I was a veteran of the 8 day events by then.
My first was NYC 1958. Too young to remember it though.
My first memories of the conventions are of playing and sleeping on a small blanket under the seats. Then, as I got a little older, I remember my head bouncing off the back of my seat as I dozed.
Candlestick in the mid 60's was amazing. Blistering sun burns during the day, large colorful umbrellas. Freezing at night, wrapped up in a sleeping bag.
Selling Shastas at Dodger Stadium in '69. 117,000 on Sunday.
Baptised at Oakland Colliseum '73. International Assembly. I think there were 1500 baptized at that one.
Twickenham, 1975. The big year!
Because my family was part of a "mighty army" preparing for the end of 6000 years of mankinds existence, most memories of these conventions are positive.
I stood through some long prayers, that's for sure!
