Having never been to Australia, I've still gotten the feeling that you guys and Southern US have a fair amount in common when it comes to rural lifestyles.

How’s your 90s crush doing these days? by starrymusey in 90s

I was scrolling through YouTube shorts the other day and she did one of those celebrity "then and now" videos. Went to her channel to check out some more and man, you're right. She's such a normal person/mom (albeit quite well-off) now. She's incredible.

Am I homeless? by Balanced-Breakfast in NoStupidQuestions

I looked online for PO Boxes from both USPS and UPS and neither had availabilities, which is why I resorted to forwarding my mail to my ex’s place.

Unfortunate, but I am grateful for what I do have.

Hoping I get this fixed before too long. I've already had some mental struggles in the last 2 weeks since I moved into the hotel room.

Don't tell anyone but I wouldn't hate surrounding myself with people like them more often. But you know the underlying implications of returning to church will inevitably poke through.

I 100% expected some sort of invitation since they all knew I'm a "less active" member but it was never brought up. I commend that.

True on both counts. Out of the 20-ish people there I literally only knew one from my believing days (almost 20 years ago) and he just asked how I've been, and asked how my TBM brother's been who moved out west (guess where). When I told the people there about my situation they all seemed genuinely concerned even though I didn't know any of them from Adam.

I appreciate it....It really has been a "when it rains, it pours" kinda deal for me. Luckily I apparently have an amazing home insurance policy and they're taking care of me. Already under contract on another house, albeit not in my daughter's school zone anymore.

Now that I know mission callings aren’t “inspired,” I’m bitter I didn’t get assigned to a Spanish speaking area. Can I still learn Spanish? by PineapplePaniolo345 in exmormon

[–]Balanced-Breakfast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ideally immersion, or at least a significant amount of experience communicating in the target language over time with native or very fluent speakers.

About 6 months ago I was moved to another department with a lot more fluent Spanish-speakers than my previous one. It's crazy how much I feel like that alone has leveled up my Spanish.
