Serious question. We're a-movin' to Utah, and I find it embarrassing. But even with all the trouble and expense, divorce would cost much more. So I have only met a couple of you personally, and would like to have a meet-up with any of you who live there in "Zion".

Been in Utah permanently since 1980 when DH was hired at BYU.

Left LDS, Inc formally in 2009 but was out mentally since late 90's

There are lots of folks here not who want nothing to do with mormonism, at least where I live in South Salt Lake County.

We met and had lunch, I believe at Squatters at the 2008 ExMo Conference. I was living in the Midwest at the time, but now am about a 5 minute walk from Squatters. Can do lunch anytime/

Come on in. The water’s fine.

BoJ- Who is the ‘we’?

Me and cludgie and a few other people at the conference - Cheryl and Jerry and the guy with the two @@ signs in his name, among others, if I remember correctly,

ahem.

WCG!! You back?

I'd love to do lunch if I ever cross the border and come down there again.

Be careful. They might decide you're Venezuelan and ship you to El Salvador.

That's right! Hey, I'm game to do it again.

Contrary to some here who are confused and think I live in southern Utah, I have not lived in Utah for almost 40 years.

I have many family that do live there (thus visit there from time to time). I kind of use this site to keep track of the latest comings and going from them parts.

Scooby Doo

I escaped !

I've now been living in Utah one month.

Sad. So sad.

I have a gf who lives close to the U, time will tell if we partner, we've known & been friends for about 25 yrs which is close to my personal record.


Love & loving are the most important sources of happiness IMHO, but everything is Mass superficial & Very transactional in Morland.

I'm here

I don't believe in Utah.
You name me just one scientific study in the last 10 years that proves its existence!

I guess you aren't a Brighamite. I didn't know to were CoC.

It all depends on whether you believe in a "spiritual
'Utah or not.

Since when do you believe scientific studies ?

"divorce would cost much more"

And you would forfeit the longevity competition.

I USED to live in Utah...

I had a good time! If conditions were similar, I could be induced to return.

While attending the Y, I was making about $2.00/hour ($90/week) and paying $75/month for a house in Lakeview. Gas was under 35 cents per gallon, full service, an all-day ski lift pass at Alta was $5, and tithing was only 6%!!

Okay, I lied about the 6%... Very clever of ghawd to name a percentage instead of a fixed amount.



Edited to add the mission decimal point; I still suffer from unmet expectations and delusions of ... well, just delusions.

So you are telling us you only worked 27 minutes/wk.?

"Living in Utah"


What a concept!!

Think of it like being in Utah but not of Utah.

Ouch! Very cringe-worthy comment, Miss D.

Oh, that was just a couplet.

If people didn't couplet, there would be no new words!

Miss D? Didn't Clint Eastwood do a movie with that title?

Something like, "Play Miss D for me"?
