In our ward, the RS newsletter is called The Sego Lily Gazette.

It is free.

But, and please correct me if I'm wrong, you're a woman. So it's ok.

No, but I was about to provide the worksheet provided by Nancy Pelosi's staff. Can writing summaries of Judge Judy episodes be considered "legal work"?

Indy, I understand that actuaries need more schooling than Jesuits and that it takes a rare personality to pursue the field, somewhat like morticians. I hope they pay you a lot.

It's OK, not because I am a woman, but because I am no longer the primary source of our income. I do a little contract work on the side from home.

More schooling than Jesuits? OK, I'll plead ignorance on that analogy. You only need a 4 year degree, but then the actuarial exams typically take at least 7 years to complete. Actuarial exams are all self-directed study. No classes or anything like that.

My last exam covered 2,400 pages of material. Six hour essay exam. That's only one out of 10 exams though.
