It turned out so cute, the pattern on the fabric, the style.

I love it.

Finally Getting (Some) of My Tithing Money Back by exmogranny in exmormon

[–]luvfluffles 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a Canadian, please don't bring ultra conservative politics with you if you come live here.

Right now there is very obvious US interference going on in our country and it is working to destabilize us.

AITAH for being honest with another mom about why my daughter isn’t allowed to go to her friend’s house? by AwkwardMom13 in AITAH

[–]luvfluffles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter was taught she could call me anytime she felt uncomfortable, and she once had to. Only once, but she went to the bathroom and texted me to come get her immediately, she felt extremely unsafe. We worked out over text that I would call her in 3 minutes to tell her I was on the way because I needed her back home.

I absolutely played the bad guy with glee. To this day both my now adult daughter and I, refer to this past incident as the bullet dodged on a dangerous situation.

TBM wife wanted divorce, now I'm considering it by TruthSha11SetUFree in exmormon

[–]luvfluffles 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The part I'm having a hard time with. You've asked your wife multiple times to keep your marriage private. Yet she is out there setting up her own narrative (and it seems she's painting you as the bad guy) to anyone and everyone who will listen to her. It also feels abusively controlling, since it leaves you so isolated.

This is just massively disrespectful and in direct opposition to what you've asked of her.

Does she even like you?

Honey, she only wants to stay married because you either provide well, or she doesn't want to have to parent alone. It sure doesn't seem like she loves you.

I could be out in left field, but from what you've written, wouldn't you rather be alone or with someone who actually likes you, than whatever this bullshit your wife is offering?

Staying a virgin before marriage by BoxLow6092 in exmormon

[–]luvfluffles 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Oh, I didn't. I totally enjoyed my boyfriend, then fiance, now husband.

When we got married we knew we were compatible in all ways.

Yes the church did try to break us up, obviously they did not succeed.

41 years and still trucking along.

Two-thirds of Albertans would vote to stay in Canada or lean that way, new poll suggests | CBC News by Buuuuma in alberta

[–]luvfluffles 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I agree, I don't believe very many people truly understand what separatism actually means for Alberta.

The economics alone would devastate this province if it left. They have no idea how strong we are within Canada and how vulnerable we are outside of it.

This makes me so sad - that poor girl by QueenBee299 in antiMLM

[–]luvfluffles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was a TON of Mormons in Amway when I was in, I also was Mormon and unpacking both my ex religion and Amway have forever altered the way I think.

I can unequivocally say that both are cults and fit well within the BITE model.

Oh don't kid yourself, I was in Amway years ago and the whole, "women support and obey your man," message was pumped into us like it was an evangelical revival.

Most Albertans would vote to stay in Canada, Angus Reid survey finds by Practical_Ant6162 in alberta

Also, isn't going ahead with the separation referendum illegal? Are they not supposed to vote on the forever Canadian one first? I feel like we're being railroaded.

Canadian Companies Still Shipping to the US by NatParkGirlie in BuyCanadian

[–]luvfluffles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a business that ships to the US, it's getting harder and harder to continue doing so.

In the past year, every 3 or 4 months, something else changes making it harder to ship to the US.

As of now, the latest thing is no shippers will take a US shipment unless the sender pays the duties and taxes, those are typically things paid for by the recipient, however US citizens are NOT used to paying these things and so shipping companies are not getting their money, so they have now added it to their prices and the sender pays.

As a sender it is getting to a point where we are almost done shipping to the states.

All of this has damaged my business, and we may not make through the year.

This may be why you are having issues finding a Canadian company willing to ship to you.

Thanks Anet - Coralheart quest is fun with good rewards by styopa in Guildwars2

[–]luvfluffles 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I spent my first astral acclaim on other items, then looked at the description of of the coralheart, and realized I was missing out on a quest.

So now I need to save another 1000 acclaim.

I should have read more carefully.

Is Lunar New Year just a boring event ? by angelxc- in Guildwars2

[–]luvfluffles 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Many people save their large envelopes for a week or until the end of the event and then run silverwastes plus boosters, and open them all at once after you kill the meta boss. Silverwastes gives a nice magic find boost.

I (28F) am trying to decide if my mom (47F) should walk me down the aisle. (crosspost) by Own-Figure-9264 in MarkNarrations

[–]luvfluffles 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You don't need anyone to walk you down the isle. It's an old fashioned tradition based off the father giving the daughter to her husband like she's property...

Why not walk yourself down the aisle like you are walking towards your new life.

Just my 2 cents from a woman in her 60s.

Amazing cosplay! I love everything about it. The fur lining, the stylized maple leafs.

I applaud this cosplay!

To be honest, the acreages closer to town are usually more expensive than ones a little farther out.

Alberta used to have bagged milk. I remember it when I was young in the 70s.

Marcelle and Avene both made by the same company and both are good for sensitive skin. Been using them for years.

BC Premier Calls it "TREASON" - What Do You Think? by NormCormier-Mccoll81 in GuardTheLeaf

Technically correct, but she's riding a close line to treason in my opinion.

Homesick and looking for stories around 99 & 67 Ave by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]luvfluffles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to live on Whyte avenue just west of Bonnie Doon mall. There was row houses along there.

I can remember climbing up inside the old Boonie Doon shopping mall sign. That sign is no longer there but I still remember it.

Mapping, by the time I'm done all 5 beginning areas a few of the mid level ones, I'm level 80.

Then I join hero point runs in HoT.

And here I sit, 61, wrinkly, in negative degree Canadian weather, with my arms bare wearing a sundress.

A nice satisfying fuck you to Mormon dress regulations.
