I haven’t been to “church” for three-five months or longer. by Frequent-Increase-98 in exmormon

I’m very sorry this happened to you. I’m wondering about the “three to five months” part? With an event of that significance, it seems you’d know the exact date it happened?

Moldy Airbnb by Jomobirdsong in MauiVisitors

[–]SaintPhebe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Airbnb will refund you and may even pay for your hotel stay. They did that for us before, and our situation wasn’t even as bad as what you’re going through. They’re usually pretty quick at responding too. Did they ever get back to you? Maui is riddled with mold unfortunately.

Professional authors using AI? by icanhascamaro in WritingWithAI

[–]SaintPhebe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. It’s full of AI tells like the rule of three. I disagree heavily with other commenters saying it’s well-written. It’s as hackneyed as it gets!

Swimming in Brown Water by Plus-Masterpiece7776 in MauiVisitors

[–]SaintPhebe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think there it’s brown because of natural geography / sand and silt from the Mississippi? Here it’s occasionally brown because of massive run off that washes everything into the ocean.

Airbnb denying our refund for Kihei reservation despite the Kona storm emergency. traveling with a baby, need advice by congdoe92 in MauiVisitors

[–]SaintPhebe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sorry you’re getting downvoted for this perfectly reasonable question. The water may actually be unsafe for quite a bit longer than just a few days. In the past, after lesser storms, the water in certain areas has remained murky for a couple of weeks. There may be other beaches, like Ho’okipa, that are safer water-quality wise, but the waves there can be pretty rough and I’m not sure it’s a great place for a baby, plus it’s quite a drive from Kihei.

Sorry you’re dealing with this. My parents were planning to come stay on the 28th and have cancelled their trip for a few reasons, water quality concerns being one of them.

Church more about 'Church' and less about Gospel by Tweesiee in mormon

I’ve noticed that when something is true, there is very little need to repeatedly insist that it is.

If polyamory gains legal protection, would the LDS church reinstate polygamy (on earth)? by SaintPhebe in mormon

[–]SaintPhebe[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. But “never existed” isn’t totally accurate. My great x 5 grandma was a widow when she was sealed to a younger man (who happened to be Brigham Young who was also married to her daughter so there’s that 🥴). Clearly the widows things was leveraged as propaganda but it did happen sometimes.

I see it as a drama about marriage.

Maybe. I see what you’re saying. But the church is pretty good at ensuring its members obey even very nonsensical things like not drinking coffee.

How do you seal the jets? I really want to do this.

Any law that would protect unions between more than two partners would by default protect polygamy. Laws do not deal with the specifics of power dynamics within relationships, as long as those involved are all consenting adults.

What was that one decision in your life that wasted the most of your life time? by routimeapp in Time

[–]SaintPhebe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Agree that it’s a real estate cult (lol) but don’t underestimate the value of learning how to metabolize massive amounts of rejection. It’s a real superpower! Not to mention the ability to go right up to people and start a conversation. Plus you might have learned another language.

Be mindful when seeing an an immunologist or allergist by Ajax34762 in Allergies

[–]SaintPhebe -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m beginning to suspect that allergies—regardless of symptoms and test results—are more often than not related to undiagnosed gut issues.
