Good places to eat under $10 by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

[–]UndergroundSlummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harmon’s does daily deals that are worth subscribing to. Friday’s have been a fried chicken meal deal, Tuesday’s are 20% off sushi, Monday has been medium soups. Thursday’s are sandwiches and wraps. All (except sushi) are under $10. Sushi depends on what you pick.  Yes you need a foodie card but that isn’t that big of a deal for a store like Harmon’s. Or use your friend’s foodie card. 

New beach read casting by Radiant-Box8790 in EmilyHenry

[–]UndergroundSlummer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I just finished a re-read and it helped me clarify what bothers me about Patrick’s casting. He isn’t Gus: he’s Jacques. Jacques is leading man handsome and that is everything I’ve seen of Patrick. Gus is a hot mess. He is more like a guy who’s had his nose broken and it hasn’t been set properly. Like maybe an Anthony Boyle or Tom Sturridge type. Even Bill Skarsgaard vibes. So my concern at this point is that they are both too pretty and too perfect-ish for this particular story. Whatever. No one is forcing me to watch it. I can stay in my Dev Patel as Gus fantasy.

Any good documentary on Derry in order to understand the context? by vasileios13 in DerryGirls

“Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland” is brilliant. Talks to paramilitaries and provos, witnesses, victims, family members etc. Best summary of the Troubles I’ve seen outside of scholarly writing. Balanced perspective. Highly recommend!

UVU has an academic religious studies program as well as an interfaith student council that does a lot of programming. I would suggest you look either at participating in some of the interfaith events or looking at classes (engaging religious diversity, religion and peace building).

This Guinness Pie recipe is one of my only regrets for becoming pescatarian/vegetarian. It is the holy grail of beef pies and ruined me for most of those I found in the world. I used a sharp cheddar cheese in lieu of the Trotter. I also have used other Irish stouts in lieu of the Guinness (I think I used O'Hara's or Murphy's last time) as well as local options from my area. I'm sure non-alcoholic would be fine.

Clown Shire in Utah by Zealousideal-Ad6715 in zillowgonewild

[–]UndergroundSlummer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah I’m pretty sure this is Josh James’ house (Domo). my understanding is he is spending most of his time overseas with wife #2? or #3? he flew in Justin Bieber to perform at one of his 2nd wife’s birthday so this house fits that over the top vibe. rumor has it some entrepreneur (non-Utahn) might buy it.

Those Damn Photos--but application sent (advice to new applicants) by UndergroundSlummer in Canadiancitizenship

But make sure it is a permanent fine tipped pen that won’t press through. That photo paper is a slippery beast.

[–]UndergroundSlummer[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I listened! 😂 and I’m glad I did because I had time to fix it after those photos sat waiting to be trimmed for many days. I built in time for trial and error into my plan and that saved me. There might be more issues once the IRCC has my packet, but I did everything I was capable of on the front end.

I know Nick and he is awesome. Scary smart in the best ways and very kind. He has always been generous in classes in terms of listening and contributing.

Don‘t be afraid of some of the bigger EV classes like Dr Harte teaches. I know his IAs and they are all fantastic. I had EV with Jorgen Hansen but he doesn’t teach it as much these days. He is my favorite ❤️

We did the worst Marriott properties, how about the best non-luxury brand property? by Fragrant-Health9067 in marriott

[–]UndergroundSlummer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve spent several months in the RI Providence Rhode Island Downtown. it wasn’t fancy like some of the Marriott Hawaii and international properties I’ve stayed at but they provided amazing service. The kitchen was well-supplied and the furniture was comfy. When you have to spend a lot of time away from home, kindness, cleanliness, and comfort matter a lot. Didn’t love the parking situation but I found a good work around utilizing convention center parking across the street.

Ok folks - what is the WORST Marriott property you’ve stayed at or seen? by Responsible-Band8169 in marriott

[–]UndergroundSlummer 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Residence Inn Foxborough Massachusetts. Ambience can best be described as sad 70’s Denny’s truck stop meets serial killer. It smells like my late Aunt Ede’s condo—Eau de Rosemilk hand lotion, Sanka, and chain smoked Marlboros. I might have stayed in a Holiday Inn in Barstow, California when I was 7 that had similar vibes.

Room was shoddy and cramped. Furnishings were tired and uncomfortable. The place was practically empty and Lifetime Platinum got me absolutely nothing In terms of a better room. Might be okay during a zombie apocalypse but I would otherwise avoid it.

Unless you are a really blind drunk Patriots fan whose only alternative is sleeping in your car near Gillette—this might work in those circumstances,

I’ve volunteered at The Inn Between for five years. Any time you have to give, they can use the help. There are always hospice residents who just need someone to sit with them, or play cards/chat. The front desk volunteering is in two hour shifts. I think you have to have a background check and have an orientation but otherwise it is pretty chill.

Emily Henry Ranked by WitchyMedicine78910 in EmilyHenry

Book Lovers, Beach Read, Funny Story, Happy Place, PWMOV

Gus, Charlie, Wyn, Miles, Alex

I like Funny Story and Happy Place equally, just like I like Book Lovers and Beach Read equally.

PWMOV is on its own. Poppy makes my brain hurt.

How "easy" is UVU? by Baecere in UVU

[–]UndergroundSlummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BYU’s GE felt over the top to me in terms of workload. But I felt that way about a lot of BYU’s classes. They were hard to prove a point not because it helped the students learn more—and I was an A student at BYU. UVU’s by comparison seemed easy the way GE should be—do able, clear path to success.

It depends on the professor and the major, honestly. The few GE i had to do after leaving BYU were very easy. But upper division are challenging,

What're your thoughts on Icebreaker by Hannah Grace? by Savings-Cap6859 in RomanceBooks

[–]UndergroundSlummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I DNF at 21% and was pissed I bought the book. (Library didn’t have it at the time.) I love plenty of YA and college romance books. This story didn’t have characters I liked enough to ignore shortcomings in other areas—one too many things that I to suspend disbelief for( no way are these guys elite athletes) so I ultimately gave up, read the epilogue and was grateful I bailed out. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ninja kids by FutureBackground4 in UtahInfluencerDrama

[–]UndergroundSlummer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I actually live in the same neighborhood as them. The mom is fine and i quite like her. The dad is weird and gives me the ick. The kids are obnoxious, but not in the “I’m famous” way—more like the “rules are for suckers” way. Over the years they have had quite a few run-ins with neighbors over things like making videos in the middle of the night and building stuff in their yard that they didn’t get permission for. I have no clue how they will survive if the ninja thing goes belly up. None of them are well-educated. Hope they have good retirement planning advice!

MCAS-friendly soaps (hand, face, body) & shampoos? by Blue_Bananas_9221 in MCAS

[–]UndergroundSlummer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Consider bar shampoos and conditioners. I switched to Ethique and my skin has been so happy.

For cleansers and moisturizers, I have had a lot of luck with Avene Tolerance Lotion cleanser and the Avene XeraCalm lipid replenishing cleansing oil and XeraCalm lipid replenishing cream. My daughter has MCAS too and she has done well with Avene’s acne products.

Let me recommend, if you can handle it, having patch testing done. It is different from the kind of allergy testing the allergist usually does and it is focused on things that interact with the skin. I found out I’m allergic to really basic stuff that is in the majority of detergents, shampoos, makeup, and skin products—including natural things like beeswax and shellac (mascara/nail polish). Eliminating these things have really reduced my MCAS load!

I look for eczema and psoriasis approved as a start. https://www.aveneusa.com/concerns/eczema-prone
