  Does this really qualify as good?

  While I appreciate that the MTC is very proficient in teaching languages and dialogue along very defined guidelines, I question whether they are deserving of a spot in "Good". Does a religion that offers godhood and creation of eternal worlds for men, but offers only eternal motherhood and housewifery for women qualify as Good? Or how about a religion that believes the husband holds the power of resurrection over his wife qualify as good? Or how about a man being allowed to have multiple wives in eternity?
  Does eternal inequality sound like something that should be in this magazine? We criticize other religions for inequality, why should this one be ranked as good?

  Sorry, title is messed up!

  A break for a down syndrome parent

  My friend Ceri has had a hard time making friends since she and her husband were transfered to VA. (Her husband is active duty military). Ceri is such a giving person. When I had a kidney infection and my husband was out to sea, she went to the store in the middle of the night to get me medicine to calm my stomach, a movie to keep me company, and a book of puzzles to entertain my brain.
  Such a wonderful person deserves to feel loved everyday. I am moving this month and Ceri will be all alone again.
  For Ceri, I would like to send:
  1-A pen pal from anywhere in the world (she is studying diplomacy, so this would be fun).
  2-A set of movie passes, so she can go out with a friend.
  3-Pictures from people all over the world doing what they love to inspire her to be her best.
  4-An opportunity to contribute to good magazine (she's a fantastic writer), so she feels connected to good works.
  5-A plane ticket to San Jose, CA where her best friend and I will be living.
  6-A funky picture frame that she can use to capture and surround herself with happy moments.
  7-A bag of hershey kisses to let her know she is loved.
  8-A good book on peace, because it is what she is passionate about.
  9-Construction paper hearts with uplifting messages.
  And lastly, an invite from a local good group interested in the environment, peace, etc. So she can make new friends who are interested in the same things she is.
  Please send to:

  Plastic surgery does have medical value

  After approximately 18 months of dieting and weight loss to qualify for a medically necessary breast reduction, I had surgery six weeks ago. I am thrilled with the results, but I question why people put themselves through such pain (and it is terribly painful!) when it is not physically necessay. We as a society need to accept that we can't look like we are eighteen forever.
  That having been said, there are a multitude of benefits to plastic surgery. In my case, after the pain subsided, I am finally able to exercise, my constant back pain is gone, and for the first time since I was 14, I can see my toes when standing up.
  I believe I am more beautiful, because I no longer have to wear two and three granny bras just to get through the day, but beauty isn't what is important to me...it's really about being able to do all the things other people take for granted.
