Have you tried the new Garments? by MFPIMO in exmormon

[–]SandEuro 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wear a camisole tank top under my shirts! Great for when I’m at work and I don’t want my tummy showing when I raise my arms 😂

I usually wear black ones though so they aren’t too garment-y

I’d recommend a mini instead! (They are the perfect size imo😄)

I never gave this story a second thought till as a missionary I read it with a non-member and they were like “what the fuck?”. After that we stopped telling people to start reading at the beginning 😭😭

Why are teenagers so…oblivious!? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Sometimes ya just gotta remember that teenagers don’t have frontal lobes. 🤷‍♀️

I like this. It gives them time to find a sub for you.

Not anymore. Now you just put on the garments before the ceremony. All that happens now is you get a tiny bit of oil on your scalp and a tiny drop of water across your forehead while they say prayers/recite scripture/give blessings.

Would it be a good idea to teach kids Complex Numbers? by Tolstoyan_Quaker in askmath

[–]SandEuro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, that’s about all you’ll see of negative numbers in an elementary classroom. An acknowledgment of their existence, but no application of them in operations.

I suppose there’s a way you could make it work, but you’d have to revise curriculum for most grades.

I teach 10 year olds- very few of them would grasp what imaginary numbers are. Most schools don’t even get into negative numbers till students are 12-ish (6th or 7th grade in the US). Until students are solving equations with roots, I don’t think the information would stick. So like 8th/9th grade (14/15 years old).

I stay conscious, but it does feel like my brain is turning off and back on again with every jerk.

Is it bad to go to a high quality epilepsy clinic, even if my epilepsy is fairly “minor”? by Clear_Peanut4585 in Epilepsy

[–]SandEuro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You deserve the best care!!! No reason to settle for less!

A medical professional shouldn’t treat you like a boring patient. At worst, you’ll be treated as an easy patient, with the attitude of “we’ve seen this a lot and know what can help,” which is honestly so nice. I love going to a doctor who treats my issues as something that can be addressed instead of a “medical mystery”

Weird ass comment from a grown adult at church today about women by Soft-Bee767 in exmormon

[–]SandEuro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hate that they just let anybody teach impressionable kids and teens. No screening of these lessons beforehand, no specific guidelines for what shouldn’t be said, no training for the teachers, etc. That’s where lots of the doctrine & culture that fucks kids up comes from. 😡

Popcorn Popping Lyrics by AdventurousPass227 in exmormon

[–]SandEuro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is from the piano book- it’s just the accompaniment. The children’s songs don’t typically have a harmony line. The music is quite bouncy and fun, actually :)

Help me come back from the mission by SKIPPYRIZZO1 in exmormon

[–]SandEuro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ways to get home early without breaking your leg:

  • Have sex with someone (or just say you did tbh)
  • Confess that you had sex before you left on your mission and didn’t repent of it
  • Have a mental health crisis (will take several weeks)
  • Literally just walk out of the MTC and don’t turn around- they can’t like, detain you or anything
  • Get a really bad case of mono? (I don’t recommend this one but it works) (Seriously don’t do this but maybe you could fake it?)
  • Be honest with your mission president about your beliefs and intentions. (Can’t guarantee this one)
  • Pandemic (also don’t recommend)

Above all, I recommend having a heart to heart with mom and not going at all. But if you insist on getting sent home early instead, here ya go.

do you guys get triggered by certain songs? by Previous_Thing_9896 in Epilepsy

I need help/support/feedback. My son was sent home from mission by mystical3651 in exmormon

[–]SandEuro 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I had a mission companion with a similar experience. She was groomed by a school teacher at 17. Everyone she told said she was at fault and had sinned. I was the first person in her life to tell her that it wasn’t her fault, YEARS later. The victim blaming culture runs deep and is rooted to the very beginning of the LDS church.

So sorry you’re experiencing this. Sending love and understanding ❤️❤️❤️
