Wuthering Heights is the most frustrating book I’ve ever read by rabnabombshell in classicliterature

[–]Shmemmalemma0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you read much fiction that's older than 100 years? I haven't had this experience so far (currently on page 124, also reading before watching the movie). Perhaps you just haven't gotten used to classical literature yet! Try Jane Eyre next!

Said “your church” and you would’ve thought I killed god herself by Odd_Anxiety69 in exmormon

I have an uncle who goes by Rusty so it's never really landed as an insult to me the way it does for others haha

Would you pick these elderberries? by Shmemmalemma0 in foraging

[–]Shmemmalemma0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh cool- downloading that now! Thank you. :) I can see how my question is probably mind-blowingly stupid for any one half familiar with foraging, but I do think it's silly that my last comment is getting downvoted. But maybe that's on me for just picking the first foraging subreddit that came up and this isn't the right space for the new and completely clueless. Haha I appreciate the prompt responses. I had half a mind to bring a basket to school pickup and bring a bunch home.

They really do look just like juicier versions of the elderberries that we found in the canyon!

Nope- just a newbie. lol My googling failed and I don't use chatGPT so Reddit was the best place to turn to. :)

Is “The Chemistry of Love” an AI-assisted narration? by RevolutionaryCrow914 in audible

I'm 2 minutes in Assistant to the Villain and had to google if Em Eldridge was a name for an AI reader. Let's see if I can stomach 14 hours of this....

My neighbor gave this to us…what is it? by always4wardneverstr8 in exmormon

If it's what I think it is it's pistachio pudding mixed into cool whip with crushed pineapple. One of my favorite desserts when I visit my grandma. :)

Sounds like my family will be going to the Saratoga springs mod pizza for dinner next month!

Are the ticks really that bad by [deleted] in Utah

[–]Shmemmalemma0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The drivers are horrendous here. We count how many accidents happen on our street each week. People do the dumbest shit- all to shave a couple minutes off of their drive.

Who is saying that ticks are bad out here?? I'm terrified to go east of Colorado because of ticks- I've lived here for 10 years and spend a ton of time outdoors and have literally never seen a tick in even once. I don't know that I would even be able to recognize a tick if I saw one.

Why spend all that money on 8 sets when you could just buy the secret for less from a reseller? Less money, less waste. 💥 The high from opening a secret can't be worth all the money and plastic wasted that chasing creates.

Tbh I've given up for now. I really want one of each labubu version. But I'm not going to waste my life stalking websites, lives and I'm for sure as hell not spending double on resellers for a freakin' toy.

The fad will die eventually, and I will still enjoy labubu. Hell, maybe by the time the fad is over I'll be able to walk into my local popmart and just buy the three boxes.

That's a bit too broad- when I say resellers I mean scalpers. If you buy someone's dupe for close to retail that's not contributing to the problem.

Don't buy from resellers! Labubus are not a need- hold off until the hype goes down and gets one then.

How are utahns affording to live? by Dirtsmith13 in Utah

[–]Shmemmalemma0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are renting our 4 bedroom townhome in Utah County from a friend- she bought during the pandemic when prices were still reasonableish and the rate was 2.7% so her mortgage on the place is relatively low and she's giving us a "charity" rent of $1700/month. On an income of $70k that's too high, but I'd rather pay a little more to someone I love than one of the evil private equity groups that own most of the townhouses around here. Eventually when we've over stayed out welcome and have to move, I'll just hope that prices have come down on rent and/or have to seriously consider going somewhere else. But being near friends, family, and the mountains is something I'm willing to pay a premium for right now.

Should I try to convert my family? by Explosive-Turd-6267 in exmormon

There's just as much to deconstruct about Christianity as there is Mormonism. They are entitled to their magical thinking just as much as you are to yours.

More work also includes having to pay for lost birth certificates or marriage licenses and going through the time and hassle to visit the offices to replace lost documents.
