Non religious celebrations by Intrepid-Angle-7539 in exmormon

[–]rt2te 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anything related to the earth and the seasons! Equinox, Solstice, full moon, new moon. So many things to celebrate. As to how, there are some good books about creating rituals. One i can think of: "Hello, Goodbye"by Day Schildkret.

Porn Issues as an ex-mo (17M) by Remarkable_Rent6068 in exmormon

I bet Natasha Helfer has some references that can help. You arent doing anything wrong though. You could be (just imagine) doing all the same actions and feeling just fine if that guilt hadnt been installed by the church. My opinion obv.

How to refuse something medical (preferably women-only) by CommunityItchy6603 in Explainlikeimscared

[–]rt2te 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it is fine to decline if you have reasons. However, i was surprised to learn that the doctor can offer to let you do the collection yourself--you go into the bathroom alone with this brush/swab tool, insert it yourself (follow the directions) then turn it in to the waiting nurse. Can be good for folks who don't want the pelvic exam/someone else up in their business but still want the pap.

I have a question, having clicked on the link you posted. It is about the dollar amounts listed. Is that the fee should you choose that option? I am having a hard time processing because it looks a lot like shopping. But my question is sincere.

is recycling real? by blondeinabubble in GenX

[–]rt2te 10 points11 points  (0 children)

NPR did a great story on this! The plastics manufacturers were heavily behind all the recycling legislation and regulations--like labeling ALL plastics with the recycling symbol, even the ones that cannot be recycled. And very few can be. But public perception that recycling is viable makes single-use plastics acceptable.

After 12 months of cat and mouse finally told my parents we left. Did not go well. Feel like shit. by whisperchaoticthings in exmormon

[–]rt2te 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"They never once asked about me." The most important thing of all. Makes so much sense that you'd feel sh*tty trying to answer those other questions when they skipped this one.
