Utah Makes Welfare So Hard to Get, Some Feel They Must Join the LDS Church to Get Aid

Good luck with that.

When I was a member living in Utah and ran into a financial issue they wanted to look at my bills and help me figure out how to cut costs out of my budget first.

His suggestion- cancel your cell phones a land line is much cheaper. He also suggested I sell my smart phone and get a dumb phone.

That wouldn’t have helped at all as at that time phones were on contracts for 2 years and I’d have had to pay for the full price of the phone if I left the contract early. I’d have LOST $500 between retail and what I could sell the phone for.

I ended up just borrowing money from a friend.

Keep in mind the Mormon church has a hedge fund worth OVER $100 billion.

YSK about bismuth subgallate, an "internal deodorant" that makes your stools and flatulence not smelly

The suggested use for anyone not bothering to look this up is to deodorize gas and stool but it’s suggested use is for people with colostomy or exposed stomas where smelly gas and stool is a constantly expelled or people with chronic gas and liquid stool.

I wouldn’t want to stick any drug in my body just to stop farting in social situations. Every drug has or could have side effects even Tylenol or aspirin.

Seriously, it takes skill to fuck up that bad

Not just GoT- I have a hard time watching ANYTHING because of how fucked that ending was.

If it’s a Serialized TV series that hasn’t ended yet and gotten rave reviews. I prolly ain’t watching it. 8 years and 4 massive books I invested in I ain’t got time for another massive fucking disappointment.

Reddit trying to flex

If they aren’t going to pay mods who are they planning to pay to make sure bots aren’t gaming the system? This is going to fail hard and we’ll see another influx of disgruntled migrants when they take it away.

I found out recently that those percentages actually mean 80% of the local AREA would have rain and 20% would not. Meaning if there is a chance of rain in your town at all it’s likely raining somewhere even if it’s just a tiny drop or two.

So if you don’t want to get wet at all bring an umbrella if the chance is over 0%.
