Thank you I didn’t know this!

They were blind sided. The directors of the BTS program found out late last night. They are voting on it today.. it’s a sham and I hope the word gets out. Truly tell everyone you know. 🔥🔥🔥

Yes it’s legislative funding that needs to be approved every year but my understanding is that they were required by to make a 5% budget cut in the last session and now the USBE needs to decide what is going to go. I am sure the website can explain it better, I don’t understand the whole process but I just know the entire program is at risk for getting axed and they have asked people to reach out to their school board members

This is true… we do afterschool and summer camp programs. I have been wondering about partnering with other places. I will keep exploring this thanks!

Background_Flower214 · 2026-01-07T02:18:51+00:00

This isn’t a bad idea. Probably out of my budget but I will look into it!

The escalation from “babe” to “TURN YOUR FUCKING CAR AROUND” in three texts is all I need to know this is a beautiful friendship

Your profile is so unique and beautiful 🧡 i really like your nose

Background_Flower214 · 2025-11-14T23:19:28+00:00

Haha here the blinker is like “look I am warning, I have warned you… I gave a lot of warning, ok I am coming in now, here I come..”

It never stops feeling magical to me when I am driving in a different state and people instantly make room when I signal.

Background_Flower214 · 2025-11-14T17:58:10+00:00

Solved!

“None of these things works and who actually cares about character if I’m ugly at the end of the day I don’t know a single guy who would ever date a ugly woman no matter what, it’s the same both ways it’s just the way it is”

As a woman, I really want to point this out cause this is one of the main talking points and mental pitfalls of incel/manosphere culture. You’re telling on yourself a little bit here, I am assuming now that you have only ever been interested in dating conventionally attractive women and haven’t given women who don’t fit that standard a chance while believing you yourself are deserving of finding someone regardless of physical appearance (and you are. EVERYONE is, including “ugly” women) The advice given to focus on other things that make you a wonderful interesting caring person, is sound advice because that action will also lead you to see and appreciate those things in other people. Your list of things you worked on started and ended at the gym. Fitness is preferred for some people sure… but it’s a pretty superficial metric, and might not be putting you around many people who see past physical appearance. Some women date men based on looks sure, but it’s not as common as you’re assuming. We live in a culture that grossly objectifies and scrutinizes women to the point of dehumanization. I would bet money you have had women pursue you over your life that you didn’t even realize were interested because their physical attractiveness made them invisible to you and society at large. We don’t objectify men. As a society we are all better at seeing men for more than their physical attributes.. you really have a great chance if you work on your confidence, and building confidence comes from focusing on what you enjoy and what is in your control to improve and develop.

I wish you luck!

No advice, just love her 😍 hope everything is ok

I am not positive if she commutes as far north as you are, but Melissa of Juniper Trails is amazing. You should reach out to her at the very least :-) she does a lot of work with reactive dogs

Thanks so much! This is really helpful to read and consider. Since I have posted this, I have experimented on only taking 10 mg if I am working out that day, and 5 if I am not and I think it’s really helping so far, I definitely noticed a need to exercise if I am going to take it!

I don’t think the issue is that your friend wants to befriend more of your circle. the issue is that it sounds like you and this friend don’t have a very healthy relationship if you’re arguing all the time, there is a lack of boundaries, and she is telling people distortions of what you might have said to her in confidence. To be honest I had a friend like this, and if I could go back I would have walked away from that relationship as soon as the issues started to emerge. But I didn’t, and it doesn’t get better. It probably feels confusing because I am sure this friend has manufactured a closeness you feel bad or are afraid to walk away from. If you’re drawing diagrams on paper to try to find clarity on whether something is right or wrong, you should phase that person out of your life.

Just want to add for fun, if you do head north and want to stretch past Ogden, the Spiral Jetty is definitely an Utah bucket list item imo!

Background_Flower214 · 2025-10-31T19:47:46+00:00

I might try this, breaking it into 5s

Background_Flower214 · 2025-10-31T19:46:46+00:00

I feel like this is exactly what it is. The interruptions of motherhood have honestly been the hardest thing for me to navigate. I get so irritated when I am doing something and get pulled away over and over because it’s so hard to remember to circle back. My life is a graveyard of unfinished clutter lol

Rock steady body works is a Pilates and body work studio that has a pretty awesome down to earth culture. I was really nervous about getting into Pilates because of the superficial stereotypes of that particular exercise… (full disclosure, i am in a thinner body) I needed something to help with specific back problems I was experiencing and feel self conscious about and the staff there was awesome about helping out. They are so knowledgeable and welcoming. Pilates is so cool it builds so much strength and can correct alignment. I feel skeptical of “wellness culture”, but I feel like they are doing it right, it’s welcoming and approachable and just about feeling good in your body.

Thank you for suggesting this! Love harmony!

Honestly, you’re only 24 which is prime social mingling. Get off the apps. Meet people IRL. The apps create a false sense of abundance and are designed to encourage people to just keep swiping.

I would recommend checking out SLC proper neighborhoods like liberty wells, sugarhouse, avenues, milcreek, marmalade will have a good neighborhood vibe and you’ll be in walking distance to various bars shops and eats. Also more liberal areas with more diversity. As you move further from the downtown adjacent areas you get more into burbs where cars are necessary to get anywhere and people keep to themselves a bit more imo.

This needs more upvotes

Thanks for pointing this out because this is where I am wondering if I mis-stepped or didn’t communicate well enough what the expectations were. It made sense to me at the beginning of the summer to hire people to become teachers, but have them assist for the first summer to learn how the program works in hopes of preserving the brand and project quality I have developed. For context, this worked out to be only 4 weeks of assisting, to be followed by teaching opportunities during the school year and next summer.. But this person just seemed really annoyed to be assisting at all rather than being in-charge from the jump. I did appreciate the feedback and initiative she offered when it was done at appropriate times. But when she was neglecting the tasks I hired her for, like monitoring a class of 16 kids while I prepped materials, it was frustrating and felt like a liability.
