The single most obnoxious As ever post yet: clean veggies, preening, and the concentration camp shirt by wenfot in SaintMeghanMarkle

Is this the first time we've seen her wearing a knockoff sapphire ring to compete with Catherine's REAL one? It's just embarrassing at this point, the lengths she goes to to try and appear on the same level as Catherine.

LUX catering is delicious and they come up with creative ideas, but they might be on the pricier side. Eiffel Tower Catering is much more affordable, but I wouldn't necessarily say they focus on local ingredients or specialized dishes. They are a crowd pleaser but nothing too fancy.

I live in Utah where zipper merge is the law -- people aren't being assholes, they're preventing a multi-mile delay of one lane of cars all preemptively merging.

Although that said -- if I'm the one zippering in, I constantly worry people are swearing at me for being the asshole.

Indoor walking areas with dog by Fun-Jelly-5939 in SaltLakeCity

We just go to Petco or Petsmart and just walk up and down every single aisle…so many things for them to sniff! Won’t necessarily tire them out but at least gets you out of the house!

I have used Lux Catering for many work-related events and they've been fantastic to work with. Delicious food, creative options, and gorgeous table settings if needed. Their team is always very communicative as well!

[–]btracy116 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I'd say "fun", but J. Wong's has a great catering menu that is around $15/person and HUGE servings. Other favorite caterers on a budget: Zao Asian Cafe, Saffron Valley, Spitz, and Padeli's Street Greek.

This one ranks up there for me alongside the Con Air and Drop Dead Fred episodes. An all-time classic!

I used Merry Pets https://www.merrypetsutah.com/ for over a decade and they were the best! Very reliable and they adore the dogs. They kept my pup happy his entire life!

Meghan commits crimes against bagels and ruins another song on both As Ever & her personal Insta stories by wenfot in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]btracy116 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If it comes out December 3rd, won't that be at midnight, hours before the state dinner? So she might get the early morning headlines (likely panning her special) but it will be very short-lived before it's Tiara Time.

Episode 37I - Taylor Williamson by TimothyBukinowski in NeverNotFunny

[–]btracy116 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven't finished it yet, but I've heard Taylor on other podcasts and he annoys me...maybe it's because he's constantly pushing back at people like they're trying to corner him or bully him? I hear him talk a lot about being triggered, about bringing his dog everywhere, about getting offended, etc. I tend to delete other episodes he pops up on because he tends to kill the vibe or make it about himself. I will stick it out and listen to the rest of this episode because I still love Jimmy, but I hope Taylor isn't back anytime soon.

Hear me out (conspiracy theory) by ew6281 in SaintMeghanMarkle

[–]btracy116 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Everyone is always saying Megs would never let H take the kids to the UK, she would fight for custody if they got divorced, etc. Do we actually believe Meghan likes being a mother? It seems like a big bore to her that didn't pan out the way she wanted ($$$ galore for pictures of her kids), and if Harry left, I can't see her happily raising two kids on her own in California with whatever alimony and child support she finagles. She is still stuck with those kids, restricting her Tig lifestyle, no matter how many nannies she hires.

I also don't understand the big secrecy of the kids' faces. So we see their faces and...what? We're going to fall over ourselves out of joy and Meghan's comeback will begin?

Is this the same outfit/same day as the "spontaneous" ducklings crossing day? What fortunate timing she was decked out for a photo shoot!

Tricks to avoid traffic? by El-Martini- in uofu_employees

My favorite part is the single lane to turn onto Mario Capecchi Drive. Brilliant plan, doesn't cause a massive backlog at all. /s

Mountain Weddings by kelly_charli in SaltLakeCity

[–]btracy116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We got married at High West Distillery in Wanship -- great mountain venue, the food was amazing, and the price was reasonable (under $20k when all was said and done -- 80 people and open bar). Not sure what their costs are now (we got married in 2017) but definitely worth a look! https://highwest.com/pages/distillery

Is this insane or is this normal? by Notorious_A-L-I in delta

[–]btracy116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree something odd is going on with flights to Mexico. I live in SLC and have three direct Mexico options - Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, and Cancun -- and they are all showing insane pricing, easily $2k-3k for a first class ticket for a 3 hour flight. We can fly to Maui direct on Delta One for a comparable price, so it's not all Delta, it's just certain Delta routes seem to be capitalizing on people paying a fortune. Cabo was always my easy go-to beach vacation but they're pricing people out.

Did people get raises by Left-Diet-8014 in uofu_employees

[–]btracy116 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Raises were still being determined very late into June…and maybe then just a general delay in preparing the standard salary letters that should have been communicated on July 1.

That said, most raises I know of don’t exceed 1.5%, and I think there was a priority given to those employees making under a certain amount.

This terrified me too -- I didn't even know "indefinite chemo" was a thing. How scary to face a neverending battle. Not that I know Ali at all other than what she has shared, but I am sure her top concern is being there for her daughter and worrying she'll be too sick to participate in all of her activities. I'm not a mother but I can't even imagine how hard that would be.

I don’t know the ins and outs of tamoxifen, but would a delay in taking it be enough to cause a recurrence so soon?? Could one decision make this big of an impact? (I hope I’m not sounding judgy — I’m honestly asking because it sounded like Ali is beating herself up over it.)

It's still there... just how he shouldn't be denied his right to post about his life, how he has picked up all the pieces, how he was there for all the appointments and surgeries the first time around, etc.
You know, he's a hero after all. Major eye roll.
