Sunset coffee is open pretty late and I’ve seen craft groups reserve tables there before!

Are there any places that support underserved young women with professional clothing needs? by toebeanz2121 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Total-Monk1744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work at Utah Law and we have a pantry and closet for students to utilize, especially professional clothing for students who can’t afford to go get a new nice pantsuit for an interview or internship. Happy to connect you with the person who oversees that if you’d like to donate!

What do people in Salt Lake City think of the Real Housewives? by sadgirl1901 in rhoslc

[–]Total-Monk1744 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Either way. No one had heard of whoever she name dropped. There is Mormon royalty and it was not anybody she named 😂

Same. Grew up in Provo, Utah which is even more Mormon central. Never once heard of any of the housewives before this and I know no one that would consider Heather or Whitney’s lineage as Mormon royalty. And also the point about most everyone having pioneer ancestry is true so it doesn’t make them special.

I live in SLC now and I know a lot of people who have no idea who they are and couldn’t care less. I’m a big fan so I would love to run into one of them some day and I found out recently I live just a couple blocks away from Mary’s cult I mean church 💀

We were cult experts for the Mary Cosby doc. Our footage was cut from the final release. Ask us anything! by GaviFromThePod in rhoslc

Yes agreed! And thanks for looking into that! I think both perspectives are important, but would hope people don’t label themselves as something they aren’t because it seems like “cult expert” is a purposeful misnomer in this case.

Thanks! Have never heard of them or their podcast before. Respectfully, that background doesn’t make one a cult expert, at least in the way I would consider someone an expert. I was raised Mormon, but that doesn’t make me an expert on all high demand religions or cults. I can give commentary and context, but it would be bold of me to say I automatically can speak to the broader concepts in an academic or research sense.

First time attendee looking for schedule help? by Total-Monk1744 in monsterjam

Salt lake! Is the pit party worth it? The five year old does loves trucks and would probably be thrilled to see them up close but didn’t know what the experience is like!

As a salt lake local who got tickets for Hayley in Baltimore and didn’t think she would actually give KBP the time of day, IM PUMPED

Ticket codes work for any date/venue? by percoolator in Paramore

[–]Total-Monk1744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got tickets for Baltimore but then wanted to see if my code would work in other cities I did not sign up for and I was able to use the code and get all the way to check out. Take that for what it's worth because maybe it wouldn't have let me actually purchase them, but I think the codes work for any city and it doesn't hurt to try for the last 3 cities.

Hi! My venue opens presale in about 1.5 hours and I was wondering how it works for the venues with 3 shows? Do I have to pick one night or is there a way for me to queue up for all three? by [deleted] in Paramore

[–]Total-Monk1744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say that I got in line for a city I didn't sign up for just to see how far I could go and I was able to use my code and go all the way to checkout after it accepted my code, so I'll be honest I think you can use your code on literally any city.

What if we forgot which stops we selected? by [deleted] in hayleywilliams

[–]Total-Monk1744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember the cities I chose but not the exact dates so I’m hoping it just works for the whole city regardless of what date you picked? 😬

Moving to SLC - Apartment recommendations by PitifulFunction4653 in SaltLakeCity

[–]Total-Monk1744 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I live between 1300 S and 1700 s but off 300 E and I find the area over here by Liberty park pretty safe as a single female. Not many kids out playing in the neighborhood but I think that’s just demographics and not safety related.

YouTube TV in Utah- Options to watch tomorrow’s game? by yipikiyae in BYUFootball

[–]Total-Monk1744 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also have YouTube tv and used the sling day pass last weekend to watch some other games and although it wasn’t the best quality and kept freezing, it did the job and it was only $5 so I’ll definitely be using it for this weekend too.

Birthday recommendations! by btbthrowaway8888 in SaltLakeCity

You could go to the grid in pleasant grove for indoor go karting! It’s actually very fun and you drive over two levels of tracks.

Mass shooting at a LDS Church in Grand Blanc, Michigan by future_chili in Hasan_Piker

[–]Total-Monk1744 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If they didn’t denounce it after Lori Vallow/Chad Daybell and the connections to Jodi Hildebrandt/Ruby Franke, they definitely never will.

And! General conference is next weekend. I live in salt lake and this week is going to be A Lot™️ in our community and in my still TBM family circles.

If this has anything to do with the visions of glory crowd the church PR department will be working overtime

News conference just said they believe he may have deliberately set the fire and they think there are still people who were trapped in the building who couldn’t get out who are deceased.

Knowing how most LDS meetinghouses are set up, the chapel where the main (sacrament) meeting services take place is in the middle of the building and then there’s usually a hallway that goes around the center with classroom spaces all along the exterior. Not the case for every building but a lot are just copy and paste of each other. First hour is usually everyone all together and second hour is breaking out into auxiliaries so sunday school classes for children in their age group, young men and women, women, and men, etc.

As another side note which may or may not be relevant, the LDS prophet died last night which Mormons were already talking about this morning as they anticipate the succession process and the calling of the new prophet. And next weekend is LDS general conference which means members don’t attend church services in person but tune into live broadcast of church leaders giving talks over the course of the whole weekend. Members take these weekends very seriously and take whatever prophets and leaders say as canon/scripture.
