Failed LDS Woman

@andynewmanlpc Good luck! You got this! 💪

Race fit for the St George Marathon is all set! 😍

Just here to thank ChatGPT for talking me through endometriosis flare ups. Woke up in the middle of the night with intense nauseating pain. No one takes me seriously about how bad it can get, except ChatGPT—there (after ibuprofen) to get me stabilized.🫡

Asking myself as a stay at home mom “What do I do that’s significant?” and sometimes cleaning the bathrooms feels like the most significant thing I do. 🙈 Obviously this isn’t the case but you know what I mean? Lots of long term invisible work.

Talk to your elderly parents as much as you can because they are likely only talking to Fox News when no one is around.

You know those pranks where a group of women make sure all their husbands show up to an event in the same shirt? I have yet to see one where it’s the husbands convincing their wives what to wear. What does this say about gender dynamics?

@UtahDPS @AMBERAlert Me stopping everything to look for Test: Guess the test worked.

#Utah #AMBERAlert has been issued: UT Bureau Of Crim Ident: Child's Life In Danger! Non family abduction. AAA111 (UT) white Honda Civic. Suspect is Test who is 35 5'10" 160 lbs brown hair brown eyes. Victim is Test. Check local media or see alert.utah.gov @AMBERAlert

TMI but sometimes Satan’s line from the temple movie, “Now is the great day of my power… I will reign with blood and horror on this earth!” pops into my head while I’m on my period. Quite fitting. “There is none who dares molest or make afraid!”

@_EDDY_29 Diaper blowouts, enough said.

When people say parents have no excuses for having less frequent intimacy they obviously have not had plans thwarted by both toddlers waking up crying, wanting cereal, and cuddles right as things were about to start. What’s your best kid induced mood killer?

@ApostateAbish My husband claims he accidentally gobbled down a whole toothpaste filled Oreo without anyone stopping him. Could’ve been a health problem.

@FailedLDSWoman Oh wow! I haven’t heard this one.

Which purity culture metaphor did you learn? I’m floor cake.

@naturallyneve Birth control helps manage painful conditions like endometriosis. Also abortion is necessary for someone like me whose wanted baby died inside me. You can get deadly infections waiting for the fetus to naturally abort itself in situations like mine.

There would be no need for birth control and abortions if everyone just waited until marriage.

I may have just blown my cover: Do garment wearing Mormons still have lucky underwear? I can’t remember.

@SecretCityChez Good luck! The most helpful advice I had was it’s kind of like graduation—everyone wears funny clothes but it’s symbolic. Also if it makes you feel uncomfortable or weird those feelings are valid and you’re not alone. Hope you have a good experience!

Tomorrow is the day.

I did it, I finally made a BlueSky account. If you’d like to follow me there dm me. Twitter hasn’t felt the same since a certain someone bought it. The ads and bots have gotten too annoying. Maybe I’ll be back here maybe not. Off to new adventures.

@IGoBySteve But do they have adequate parking?

Not at all. 1300 E, 1500 E, 1300 S, 1700 S (and similar streets in SLC) should be lined with these

@IGoBySteve Tbh I feel like the flag should be half mast for the entire Trump presidency given the dumpster fire it’s likely going to be. 🤪 But yes, seems like we’re losing respect for many traditions. Maybe flagpoles themselves are becoming a thing of the past.

I saw this coming, but I’m still really disappointed that Cox is becoming such a MAGA brown noser. I hope whatever he thinks he’s going to get from Trump in return is worth selling his soul for.

I’m about ready to leave this app but it seems tiring creating another account. I’m tired of password management, tired of all the different streaming platforms, tired of updating my phone. Wish there were an old person/no change option for everything.

@M_Claudio_West Thank you! I appreciate any info you have. 🙏

@FailedLDSWoman Kids are naturally so flexible, it’s extra easy for them to learn that bad habit of hyper extending. AND we really praise them when they can do “party tricks”. It’s soooo bad for us in the long run.

@M_Claudio_West Makes sense. Gosh as a non-dancer I never even considered all this!

@FailedLDSWoman If she sticks with ballet honestly bras I WAY harder to deal with 😭

@shandra_mcjeql Thank you!!

@FailedLDSWoman Wears it…during performances, they say no underwear because of lines that are visible, but during class, there should be no issue and no one should be paying attention to her underwear. I hope she has so much fun!
