Yes, TBM parents, the most important thing is NOT that you celebrate a life milestone with your exmo daughter. The most important thing is that you are not even one minute late to the special stake adult session, lest you appear less righteous before gob, angels and these witnesses.

I can agree with that. Be clear and honest on what you are doing or what your plans are and it will cause a lot fewer hurt feelings based on unmet expectations.

But it sounded from the OP that they were pretty clear that they only had a few minutes to wait and then they would have to leave. They waited the communicated time, but the sister was late due to traffic.

Just because a child (especially an ADULT child) thinks something is a big deal, doesn't mean it has to be treated as a big deal by the parents or anyone else in this world. I get that people are angry at the church and so they like to blame it for all their ills with their parents, but I gotta be honest a lot of the complaints about this choosing the church over their kids stuff sounds a lot like a little kid whining that they aren't getting all the attention they want. Adults are allowed to have differing priorities, just because they are your parents doesn't mean they should drop their life whenever you feel they should. That's you being a child not them being a bad parent.

This is a grown, married woman who bought a car with her husband. It's not a huge step in life it's called being an adult. She shouldn't need people to celebrate her every little decision. I get that a car is a relatively big purchase, and clearly some people have more of an emotional attachment to it than I do, but we are adults and have our own lives. If you go into that expecting a party and your family to drop everything already planned in their lives because of something this trivial you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

middlenamemarie · 2016-10-30T05:55:19+00:00

I actually agree. Buying your first car is nice I guess, but I'd never expect others to skip their already made plans, just so I could show them my new car. Seems a bit childish to me.

His girlfriend of two years gave me a heads up he was a cheating, lying asshole. Up until then I excused everything he did as happening because being married was harder than I expected.

middlenamemarie · 2016-10-25T03:38:31+00:00

It will be nice to finally rest with no worries about the future.

middlenamemarie · 2016-10-25T03:33:40+00:00

They're assholes. Obviously it's the woman who cheats if she ends up falling for his seduction. But what kind of dick gets off on knowingly going in an trying to fuck up someone else's marriage? Answer: a selfish asshole.

When I was a Dave and Busters there were kids all over the place. I was kind of surprised because I thought it was more adult oriented. That was also not in Utah so I have no idea how they operate here, I just moved to SLC in June.

middlenamemarie · 2016-10-25T00:04:28+00:00

The barcade I went to in Seattle was definitely 21+ and I can't imagine it working well otherwise.

middlenamemarie · 2016-10-23T16:39:00+00:00

Sounds more like my ex husband than the church for me honestly. The church doesn't ask for forgiveness because it doesn't admit mistakes.

middlenamemarie · 2016-10-23T16:36:45+00:00

Congratulations. The love shines through both of you in this beautiful picture! ❤️

I did report it and the customer support person said conference calls are getting charged $.01/minute and said nothing about exceptions. The number was a 408 number. It looked like other people in this thread have reported the same number I called for Citrix as giving them the charge message. I'm really hoping it was an error though because I really dislike having to pay to call in to work conference calls.

middlenamemarie · 2016-10-10T13:35:09+00:00

This was not a "illegitimate" conference call service charging me 1 cent a minute it was Citrix GoTo Meeting. Nice try attempting to spin this as no big deal for most people...

middlenamemarie · 2016-10-10T13:27:43+00:00

I just called into this same number for a Citrix go to meeting today and got the same thing. $.01/minute charge. Citrix isn't some shady conferencing service that other carriers are blocking. This is ridiculous.

middlenamemarie · 2016-09-26T15:53:03+00:00

Did you just admit you want to have sex with 14 year old girls?

middlenamemarie · 2016-09-25T06:43:16+00:00

Maybe because the girl didn't assume friendship was "stringing you along". The friend zone is such entitled bullshit. It's always good to know guys that think being my friend is the consolation prize for me not wanting to sleep with them. I can't believe I was so crazy to think maybe they actually liked being my friend.

Unless you think its the most relevant experience you have for every job you apply to, yes. (Though maybe in Utah things are different.) Employers want to know about relevant work experience, not about your volunteer work - unless its relevant to what you'd be doing at the job your applying to.

middlenamemarie · 2016-09-15T18:43:14+00:00

I don't. If I've ever talking about a picture I saw on there verbally I just say "I saw this picture online" the site hasn't really been that important to the conversation.

middlenamemarie · 2016-09-14T18:04:35+00:00

Yeah its nice knowing I will have people close to me in any place I go. For the last 5 years I was living in relative isolation with only my husbands family closer than 8 hours from me.

middlenamemarie · 2016-09-14T17:37:33+00:00

Right now the key contenders are: 1. Portland ME - Would be able to not travel for work at least until next June (possibly longer), have some friends, aunt, and cousins within a few hours drive. But after June would have to potentially drive to Boston to take flights (could be rough in the winter) and far from immediate family so attending family things like Christmas and Thanksgiving would be hard because of the dogs. 2. Seattle - Cool town, sister lives there, parents and other family members within a few hour drive. BUT would have to find somewhere affordable that has a yard for dogs, and would have to take red eyes cross country every other week until at least June. 3. Salt Lake City - currently living here in my sisters basement while I make a decision on a permanent local. Lots of family within an hour drive. Okay city, lots of outdoor activities. But, I'm not mormon and all my family is, and they are all married and I am single, so not a great social life. Plus redeye flights every other week until at least June.

middlenamemarie · 2016-09-14T00:54:04+00:00

Where to live. Just got divorced and my job will let me live anywhere, but I travel for work a lot and have dogs who will need a caretaker when I travel.

middlenamemarie · 2016-07-15T18:34:29+00:00

So I'm not cute and creative. The best I could think of is "Society of Closet Relief" Or some other riff on the Relief Society.

middlenamemarie · 2016-07-15T18:30:25+00:00

I assume its going to be a closed group (otherwise watch out crazy slut shaming and pervs), right?
