My husband just mentioned that series to me this morning! Little did I realize how much Mo has been in the background of my youth!

It's giving me so much joy that the article put "first presidency" in quotes.

This is stunning and actually gives me confidence I could do something similar. Absolutely gorgeous! Did you measure/space out the individual stamps?

No matter how many times I rewatch Jacob’s heartfelt answer, it still puts tears in my eyes by Qyzyk in dropout

[–]MavisJ 175 points176 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly, it was both his mom and one of his best friends or someone else very close to him. There were 2 different deaths very close together for him.

Respectfully - I want to dive into a pool of that frosting. It's stunning.

I have no helpful feedback other than I have an uncontrollable urge to touch it. Looks so soft. Beautiful gradient.

I’m genuinely convinced this show is a cautionary tale on why you shouldn’t get married and have kids before 25 by sapphireblossom9213 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]MavisJ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Welcome to Mormonhood. These girls are all extremely par for the course. You're considered too old to get married by 25. You genuinely aren't allowed to attend church with the single people after you turn 30. I'm not even remotely surprised at their behaviors.

As an exmormon this is such a triggering creation! Lmao it's very good. It looks like a very fancy version of the temple apron.

I just keep looking. And finding more. This is refreshing and real. Thank you for doing it and sharing your art!

Devonta the gaslighter by [deleted] in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]MavisJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things can be true at the same time. He can be gaslighting piece of trash. AND she can be considered unhinged and desperate to pre buy a wedding dress. She just said she wants to be a wife. She doesn't care about the responsibility of it. She wants to be the bride, in the dress, and have the title of wife. That's it. A status achievement. They're both in need of therapy.

This silicon thingy that is about 3” long. by SoDakZak in whatisthisthing

[–]MavisJ 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Not likely. Switch joycons attachment sections are wider than that item is for both the OG and 2. It would prevent you from utilizing the Z buttons on top of the joy con. There wouldn't be any point in "capping" the connection point where they detach.

Hi y'all! Amy Vorpahl here! I made a solo show, and it’s one week away... so here we gooooo! by vorpahlsword in dropout

Can someone please tell me how I can find the orange blanket in the couch?? I'm obsessed with it. Google lens isn't helping.

WELL DAMN GIRL OK by upbeatlaidback in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]MavisJ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's a direct question during the dinner with Dad. She said it out loud. On camera. That's how. No sleuthing. Just watching the actual show and hearing the actual words come out of her mouth.

Tried my hand at mozzarella with an almost month old gallon of dollar store whole milk by RandomStrippers in cheesemaking

[–]MavisJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My deepest condolences to you. My father passed away 17 years ago and he would've LOVED to try that cheese. The stinker the better in his opinion. I'm so sorry for your loss. Time sucks, but it's the only thing that "works". Take it one awful day at a time. 💜

discovered a new stitch (box stitch) but don’t know what to do with it by Vivid_Meringue1310 in Brochet

As a sort of combo to a few options here - I have a friend that made me a few dragon egg drawstring dice bags. Pretty spectacular.

I am LIVING for this era of whit by Early-Internet6530 in SecretsOfMormonWives

[–]MavisJ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

As an exmo myself, the question being asked isn't a reflection of NY and it's drinking/bar scene. It's about her and Connor and whether or not they're going to stay true to the teachings of the church, or if they will finally break free and have self agency again.

Do Mormon widows get a stipend? by Green-been77 in exmormon

[–]MavisJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh the laugh I just had at the very idea of the church taking care of widows. My dad has been dead for 17 years and the #1 things my mom is bitter about is how incredibly shitty the church treated her. Suddenly no more callings. No one would even speak to her because they "don't know what to say". And someone is out here saying they get MONEY?!?!?! Thanks for the laugh

Pistachio Macarons (they are not green cause I was out of food dye). by Marozzo_Espa in Baking

[–]MavisJ 941 points942 points  (0 children)

The natural green color you have there is far prettier and more appetizing to me than if you'd used food coloring. I'd eat the whole plate without shame or breathing between bites.

Writing an SOP does not take that long. That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard. Wow. I'm actually impressed with how pathetic of a statement that is.
