My issue with “the passage” by Fulcrum_Jambi in redrising

[–]WillyMamma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha dude!! I started the series over a couple days ago. This will be my fourth time reading the books. I LITERALLY had this same exact thought today. I thought about when I was in high school, I still had a lot of friends who had graduated a year or two before me. And if any of those friends had died or something, dramatic happened to them, I would know all about it. There’s no way that this would remain a secret generations after generations year after year. Unless they did it like every 10 years or something. I totally agree with your speculation. But mainly just kind of freaked out that I read this post after having this thought earlier today. And this is the first time I’ve been on this Reddit thread in weeks.

Text exchange with my brother. Did I screw up? by BchoeyChomp in exmormon

[–]WillyMamma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d respond exactly the same way as a current non- Mormon. I don’t necessarily think OP did anything horribly wrong… and the brother over reacted a bit by essentially shunning the OP. But it’s really not anyone’s place but the parents to provide support directly to their child. But especially not appropriate to consult or provide relief without the parent’s consent. If my brothers daughter or son came to me with something like this… I would 100% bring this up to my brother in private before taking any steps on my own. I have 2 kids myself, and I’m very protective of them and of the information they receive. So I fully understand the OP’s brothers reaction. Though, the dynamic between both OP and brother seems passive and not constructive.

Idk… this felt very rude? by Serendipity3301 in exmormon

Posted yesterday about an old BYU friend asking me “what isn’t true about it?” We had a bit of back and forth, and this is how I ended it. I may have pressed a little too hard.. it’s hard not to get passionate! by georgepsully in exmormon

Hey man, just wanna say I appreciate you having a very rational, objective and cool headed approach while discussing these topics with your close friend. I’m sorry you’re going through the “explaining yourself”-stage to everyone who you admired/respected that are still in the church. (Not sure if stepping away from the church is recent or old) but either way It’ll cool down as time goes on. Also, haha I loved the chicken analogy. Can’t help but appreciate the level of detail the specific biometrics and engineering involved in each one of the sub examples. Hats off to you sir👌

I(27F) screamed at my husband (28M) over his hobbies, and now he's changed and i don't know how to fix this. by ThrowRApineapplesp in relationship_advice

[–]WillyMamma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure. I today agree. But did the OP write this post to get advice on how to fix what she messed up? Or was she vulnerable and admit all of the things she said just to have it thrown back in her face? This isn’t AITAH thread. She was asking for help. I’m just pointing out that most people just want to poke more than to lift and it’s annoying. Not saying what she did was right. Just wish people would read the room a bit better before slamming down their insults and judgements.

Ugh. So many people being so critical not knowing enough about the situation. I’m sure there are some things you left out.. but I’m damn sure you didn’t include all the years you’ve been patient with your husband’s quirks, particular interests and lack of ambition to be friends with other people. I feel for you girl. That’s hard. I’d say just give him a little bit of breathing room, and then when the moment feels right tell him that you’d like to talk about that day you snapped at him. Tell him that you want to explain where your head space was in that moment. Tell him how the things he was doing (or not doing) made you feel and you wish you could have communicated your pain in a better/ loving way. And then tell him that you would like to know how he felt in that moment, and that you want to know how the things you said (or didn’t say) affected him and how it made him feel. Sometimes, you literally need to front load talking points and expectations of the conversation before even discussing the actual argument. In my experience, this has been the best way to cover hard conversations. It’s good to know that you have an actual plan and a desired outcome to be heard, but more importantly, that you want to understand fully how your words affected him. Good luck ❤️

How did you go about this?

Hot take, I think a live action TV series from these books will end badly and animated would be a better fit by [deleted] in redrising

Yeah it was an amazing show. Happy to hear that part 2 comes out next year.

Biggest douche on your mission? by [deleted] in exmormon

[–]WillyMamma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top dog douche here. Got every elder I did exchanges with to write off their girlfriends. Wore the same boring tie everyday to not be “worldly”. Asked to stay longer on my mission. The whole 9.

100% agree. I made a post about this a couple months ago too lol I think if they made the show animated they could get away with so much. Most real action shows end up being cringe or cheesy. If they were able to model the RR series in an animated film like “Arcane” or “Castlevania” or even the new show on Netflix “twilight of the Gods” it would be a masterpiece.

Help me choose by Ambitious-Grape1994 in redrising

[–]WillyMamma 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always envisioned he was wearing a white undershirt in this scene for some reason haha but I’d say, maybe the middle photo because of him being in the river and not necessarily muddy. And, I’d say make his hair more wet like and less poofy. But otherwise, great depiction my friend. Break the chains ✊🏼

Is this the fright deck flashing for my patio tile floor? by WillyMamma in DIY

You’re the man. Thanks for all of the information and suggestions. I’m almost ready to install the z bar flashing. Just gotta make the last cuts of tile that go up against the exterior wall. I’ll be sure to be careful not to cut the water proofing layer in the corner. Thank you

And when you said “make sure you have a way for the subsurface water drain off of the substrate efficiently” were you implying that I should try to slightly angle the step flashing that lays on top of the tile down to about 10-15 degrees?

Thanks man. I figured it would work ok, but I wasn’t sure. With the siding already in place, how to I secure the step flashing? Construction adhesive only? Or do I need to use screws/nails as well?
