Mmm I know what you mean Oubliette but actually his age fits with the plot. He had either an advertising or a PR agency before the war with the aliens and was conscripted to be the PR man for the new army. So he has never seen action and is a raw recruit (forcibly as you will see). However he has the intelligence because he was an astute business man, to work out how to defeat the aliens and the muscle and fighting expertise is actually provided by Emily Blunt who trains him. Interesting plot.

elder said that after the letter on the new donation arrangement was read, the contributions for that fund went from the average (i believe it was $500 or so) to $0.
after that reminder, cash was put into those boxes.

Finding my husband's elders book, whatever it was called then, in a drawer at home, was part of my journey to see TTATT. There was a part in it about trying to prove a sister has committed adultery which involved sitting outside a house watching her. Thought it was one of the weirdest things I ever read.

After leaving did the feeling go away?
by committeechairman inthe feeling that you're never good enough.
the feeling that you're wicked and evil.. .
because i'd give anything not to feel this way.

Oh how I remember that feeling. Yes it does go away. The secret is to treat yourself as if you do feel worthy of good things. Give care and good things to yourself and it creates a feedback loop that your unconscious processes as, I am having a good time, I must deserve it. Sound odd I know but that's how the brain works. Be good to yourself - it works.
