Don't do it ute4ever. At one point SU extended the same invitation to me and the sonuvabitch started pitching Amway!

A very large Indian population here in Memphis, my friend. But I suspect Mike is right about the pressure to marry within the culture.

Who knows though. I'm sure you're a charming guy that could melt the heart of any Indian mother and father.

My ex-bishop was half-Indian. There is a white/Indian couple in one of the college station wards. In my circle of acquaitances there is a French male/Indian woman couple. So it's possible. Just fraught with difficulty.

Ute4ever, are you still moving to Memphis? Because the India Palace on Poplar just south of Overton Park has great food. Their lunch buffet is also quite reasonable. I think you could eat there every day and get your fill of Indian food for less money than it would take to marry an Indian bride. Of course, if you gave them enough business, you may be able to, just as myboynoah said, melt their hearts.

If you could get an Indian gal steeped in their culture, it would be awesome.

I used to work with a guy who was Indian. He would fly back for a month each year and take care of the businesses he had there. Very, very rich guy. His kids marriages were all arranged for them.

Here is the great part. He messed around and his wife accepted it. Someone said it is part of the culture.

Yeah I am moving on Friday. I'll definitely have to check that place out. It's only a few miles from where L'il ute4ever presently lives.

BTW, there is a great Indian restaurant in the gas lamp district of SD called "Monsoon". Have you ever eaten there?

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
