Hello to all of my new followers! You should know that while I always try to be respectful, I am an Exmormon who sometimes will rant about the actions of the church and its members. I don’t like to criticize someone’s belief systems without their consent, so consider this your warning.

“This is not something we see in Alpine.” Well, guess what? Yes it is. You just did. The racism is coming from inside the house. 😠

I just sent a hefty check to our local food bank. This is not a flex, it’s a call for action. Starting November 1st we could see the largest hunger event in the US since the Great Depression and the food banks need all the help that they can get to feed the hungry. If you are able, give.

I had a very short stint as activity days coordinator and then they decided I was too liberal and was a bad influence on the girls. 😂 I never got called to YW for the same reason. I basically directed the choir and taught RS and SS for 20+ years. An attempt to put me in nursery was an emphatic no.

I’m so sorry. 😞

For what it’s worth, my teenager, a huge connoisseur of the poop emoji, really enjoyed the first version. 😂

My teen just picked up his violin for the first time in 7 years, tuned it, and started playing like he’d never stopped. He fought me tooth and nail during his 6 years of lessons, but now that muscle memory is there and he’s finally at the point where he wants to play just for fun. Worth it.

I completely agree with you. It’s a certain type of man that seeks out these positions of power. We see it everywhere.

Aprilcots @aprilcots.bsky.social · 15h

Yup. It was because they wanted to take advantage of my years of professional musical training. Nothing more and definitely nothing for me.

Some of them can be down right sadistic. It’s a power play. “It is the nature and disposition of almost all men…”

Followed up by the time hubs and I were called into the stake president’s office at the beginning of med/graduate school and weeks after having a new baby and he asked me if I was ok with hubs being called into the stake YM presidency, and I said no and explained why, and they called him anyway.

Thinking for no reason about how when we moved here, our new Mormon bishop came over and asked me which job I definitely did not want to be called to and I told him choir director because I’d been doing it for 20 years and was burnt out, and the next Sunday he called me as choir director.

Is anyone else’s husband making focaccia from his sourdough starter (Fortescue) at 11 o’clock at night? As one does? No? Just mine? 💤

“This is how it works: We protect each other, period. These are our neighbors, our friends, our family. We do the things we have to do to ensure that as many of us can make it to tomorrow as possible. Not everyone does. I need you to understand that we tried.”

This is a must read.

Yes! The singer in me endorses throat coat tea which is magical, but any hot tea with lemon and honey works wonders.

Not a homeopath, but steam often really helps. I like those Vicks menthol steam tablets that you toss in the shower. Good ol Vicks rub works wonders too (try putting it on the soles of his feet. Weirdly effective).

We riff tracked our way through the whole thing and the laughter cured us (at least temporarily).

I needed to watch destruction this morning, for reasons, so we turned on San Andreas with The Rock. We couldn’t figure out how we had never seen it, but an hour in, we know. This movie is Sharknado level bad. It did make me feel better, but only because I laughed hysterically the entire time.
