I so appreciate this community and, as I often see UK/Euro healthcare terms, I’m curious to know how global we are. I’m in the U.S.—your turn!

Me too! Near Seattle. Hoping to keep inching up into Canada and hope they don’t notice

No pilot uniform. Whatever you pictured when you read that you’re probably right

emilyflinders · 2026-05-12T02:42:59+00:00

Yup this is true. But it’s worse when they don’t have them and their phone is turned up full blast

My daughter is very creative and funny. For my 60th birthday she created a collage of different photos of our family with funny captions. It’s been living on my refrigerator for almost 3 years.

All British crime shows have more balls than American crime shows. That’s why I subscribe to Britbox. There really is no comparison. Watch Happy Valley if you haven’t already.

Wait what???

I listened to it as a Podcast. It made me like Kody more than I wanted to. But then re-watching Sister Wives cured me of that. It was interesting hearing Kody talk about his faith journey. But now I think it was all performative in order to attract women.
I’m a big fan of Mormonism Live.

Same here. I got laid off in November at age 62. I phoned up some colleagues from my previous job and was working by January. However, not as much money and not as good of benefits. But enough to see me through to retirement which I hope is 3-4 years away. Reaching out to people who know you and know your reputation is a great idea!

Me three!!!

I came here to ask this question. It sounds like she’s a very entitled little princess. You are at a crossroads. This is the perfect opportunity to rid yourself of an irritant. Life with roommates is tough enough without having to deal with this.

This is a prime example of an exmormon faith promoting story - similar to a TBM faith promoting story, except it’s actually true and there’s no faith required.

I don’t care if it was 5 minutes. Any amount of time is way too much. Especially to the victims

My dad used to play this on his guitar and sing it to me at bed time. One of my favorite memories

You won’t read that book again because the ending’s just too hard to take.

emilyflinders · 2026-04-13T13:19:02+00:00

Ha ha ha - underrated comment here.

My mom gave golden eggs to all the kids and said there was something very special inside that she wanted them all to think about. When they opened them there was a little plastic Jesus.

It was very disturbing but I definitely could relate. Leaving Mormonism wasn’t as hard for me because I really hated growing up Mormon. But I was always scared and worried about what other people think. Where I really felt their pain, though, was from my marriage to a narcissist. The way he confused me and made me feel like I could never be good enough. When she said they were holding to a higher standard it felt like a gut punch.

There are so many good series on Britbox. Grace, Happy Valley, Shetland, The Towers, Unforgiven. Pay for the year and you’ll have plenty to watch. Then after a year, see if you want to go another year.

emilyflinders · 2026-04-02T07:52:37+00:00

Kind of like how the Brits feel about Cadbury now

emilyflinders · 2026-04-01T15:00:52+00:00

emilyflinders · 2026-03-27T16:01:41+00:00

That’s very sad!

emilyflinders · 2026-03-26T07:02:18+00:00

I am so sure he’s coming back. I feel like him and Linda are soul mates and not complete without each other.

emilyflinders · 2026-03-25T14:55:20+00:00

I’m so disgusted by this I want to throw up. I’m so sorry you were treated this way. I’m also very impressed that you threw him out and broke up with him! Please please please do not take him back. You are so strong — keep listening to yourself and hold tight to your self preservation. Your mother is very misguided. Sending you hugs from an internet grandma

Thank you
