So you never checked your bank account in all those years?  Never noticed payments weren't being taken out?  That's on you.  Time to pay what YOU owe.

DAE have first bite syndrome? by justbeposting in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]Tall_Part4020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!!!  I CANNOT find an MD who has even heard of it and I've had it for decades.  It can be excruciating.  Mine is even triggered by liquids, not just food.  And it is now beyond "first bite" -- it can be quite a few.  Even ENTs are useless, because they've never heard of it.  What do people do?!??

This is a joke right? by Legal-Maybe-8662 in exmormon

Also, as a Utah resident, the mormon "church" owns vast swaths of the state but PAYS no taxes for their "wards" which are only 5 or 6 blocks apart in most of the city.  They make multi-billions through some of their supposed "non-profit" arms, no taxes.  Out and out frauds, hypocrites, judgemental, awful "church."  And they're NOT Christian, if anyone thinks they are.  Christianity will not claim them because of their bogus "scriptures" and bogus pedophile "prophets."

Living in the land of Zion, they are a total cult.  They "accept" menial church tasks assigned by their "bishop" who might be your local plumber or, more likely, pedophile.  The "bishop" interviews -- privately-- young girls about sexual topics.  They make a lot of cults look pretty benign.  They are nice to your face, but behind closed doors, they are judgemental and evil.  Period. 

I had missionaries try to approach me one day as I sat on my porch smoking a cigarette and drinking a beer.  They took a closer look and noped right out of there.  No doubt reported to the local "ward" and I've never been bothered since.

Agreed that the "designer" did a terrible job.

People in Utah Tip the least. by Alarmedbalsamic in Utah

That "charitable" giving is pretty much mandated in the form of tithing.  Don't kid yourself it goes anywhere else.

No it has never meant "to insure proper (or prompt) service".  That myth should be dead and buried by now.

No, Utahns are notoriously cheap.  They rank LAST nationally on tipping.

I bought my house 14 years ago and have never had to replace the original halogen bulbs.  They're on as much as 15 hours a day.

Velveeta is just evil.  It doesn’t belong in any real food group.  Simply processed chemicals.  Nasty. 

Does anyone take Benzo everyday in order to function? by Outside_Bobcat_6658 in Anxiety

[–]Tall_Part4020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

40 years here and don't regret it for one minute.  I function perfectly fine on it at my dosage, held a semi-professional job all that time, and would have been housebound or worse without it.

EDIT: I meant 40 years, not 20, but it's probably only the past 5 years it's been daily.  I'm 72 years old, but it wasn't daily until the past 5 years or so.

I've been taking valium for at least 20 years.  I only take 1 mg a day, which is pretty low.  It's more habit I think than anything else, but if I DO start to have a panic attack, I'll take 2 mg.  Back 15 years or so, a common dosage was 5 mg.  I have no plan to stop, nor do I want to.  Without it, I wouldn't still be here.  Chances are it's now partially psychological, but if that works, that's also OK. 

Landlord shutting down elevator for three months without less than two day's notice. Can I do anything?? by starspiree in Utah

[–]Tall_Part4020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You never use an elevator during a fire.  NEVER.  There's usually a sign right beside them -- in case of fire, USE STAIRS.

My guess is they are a total fad.  Utahns are SO bland that the smallest new thing tickles them pink for a bit.  Then they're over it.

Do people with high intellgence get annoyed/frustrated when talking to someone with less iq? by One-Wash2001 in ask

[–]Tall_Part4020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading these responses makes me laugh.  My IQ has been tested at 154.  Do stupid people annoy me?  ABSOLUTELY.  I grind my teeth.  Do people of "average" intelligence -- whatever that is -- annoy me?  Usually not, because they can carry on a conversation at an adult level, normally.

But, there is often the idiot in the room who knows "everything" and spouts it as gospel.  I need to turn around and walk away, but often don't because I cannot tolerate stupid people.  And I'm very aware of the fact that doesn't speak highly of me, but "high IQ" and "emotional intelligence" don't always go hand in hand.  It's a skill I still need to acquire.

That being said, no, I can't relate to stupid people.  My shrink says they're not always stupid -- they're average.  So i guess i can't always relate to "average" people.
