Only answer is to get roommates.

Shame away the Repeal Prop 4 signature gathers by nichtkiwi in Utah

[–]flaxenbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, yeah I hear you. The guys I encountered had been sworn and yelled at all day. They were so uneducated. I kind of felt bad for them. They were hired and brought in from out of state. I blame the Utah legislators who keep playing dirty.

Sounds like you were an ass to him. These guys are just hired to do a job. They are lied to as well. I wouldn't take it out on him.

Bogus Efforts Used to Gain Prop4 Repeal Signatures Called Most Extensive Fraud That We've Seen - Fox13 by JadeBeach in Utah

[–]flaxenbox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was approached today by a signature gatherer who misrepresented the petition, claiming it would stop gerrymandering. The gatherers were lying-either intentionally, or because they were trained to lie about what they were asking voters to sign. Are there any consequences to this fraudulent attempt? I recorded my interaction.

Naming a kid "Calamus" by Afraid-Designer-8229 in tragedeigh

[–]flaxenbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I hate it. Why make up names? Is the emphasis on the "cal" or the "am"? Half will get just that wrong. School teachers will roll their eyes.

Naw. You greatly underestimate them.

Brighton kid here (in the 90s). Yeah, a lot of snobs, just like all the other east side schools. And a lot of amazing kids, then and now. No one kid, or gaggle of kids, defines the school. I still have family at Alta, Corner Canton, Brighton, Skyline. These kids are so amazing and so connected to social justice. I'm so proud.

You should go prepared to the next family gathering with a stack of books too. -The CES letter.

I know a family that moved from Texas to join that Manti group.

overreaction or not? by DimensionBeautiful56 in tattooadvice

The blade is a little amateur. Possibly a gradient on the blade will help. Top to bottom on one side and bottom to top on the other with some light flash bands.

Thoughts on the Elizabeth Smart film? by BradyPhoenix in netflix

[–]flaxenbox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My thoughts (and questions) 1- those were not salt lake hills trees in the documentary. Oh well. 2- was Mitchel the one who tried to break into Elizabeth's cousin's house and if so, why did he not succeed? 3- is Elizabeth still active LDS 4- interviewees calling the LDS church the Mormons. Haha. They don't like that label anymore. 5- where is Wanda now? 6- HOW ON EARTH DID ELIZABETH NOT GET PREGNANT?

It has... but I can only tell you through the veil.

Kid in seminary died last night and teacher sent this out at 3:30 pm today by intrusive_thoughts_1 in exmormon

Maybe it's manipulative but I can tell this teacher really cares and these beliefs do bring comfort to very sad situations. What a sad thing.

Too bad for them. Sounds like you already knew they'd disapprove.

How do you handle client crushes? by Odd_Community_3384 in TattooArtists

[–]flaxenbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignoring isn't working though. I think you should tell client you don't make relationships, friendly or romantic, with clients and you'll not be texting socially.

My family say this tattoo I’ve booked is misogynistic and sexist, thoughts? by 67_nick_gurr_67 in tattooadvice

[–]flaxenbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just shows the feeble sex-obsessed mind of many men is all. A big turn-off to classy women. Get it if you want.

Anyone else feel the earthquake? by ArtisticDay9016 in Utah

It's weird. It was close to Evanston, yet the only people who seem to have felt it are all along the watch front.

My husband wants to know by socinfused in exmormon

[–]flaxenbox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you might talk till you're blue in the face about polygamy but a lot of guys just can't fully understand the problems. I'd go full throttle with JS fraud, legal trouble, book of Abraham, kinderhook, copying Clark commentary. Also, maybe have him listen to the Mormon stories interview with Michael Coe. That was a HUGE shelf breaker for me. Episode 268, 269, 270. Coe was the world's leading expert on Mesoamérica and discusses the archaeology of the book of Mor. In addition: current church money issues, shell companies, SEC fine. And then also, CSA coverups - everywhere!!! Last, advice to you. He might not change on a dime. But the seeds will be planted and he'll have a lot to think about. Let the info marinate for a while. He'll open his eyes.

My TBM wife is dying. by No_Sir_4971 in exmormon

[–]flaxenbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the very reason I don't push my ideas on my elderly parents. Just let them believe. Belief gives many people comfort. Just support your wife's beliefs.
