Hey y’all. I’m a bit of a veteran here and I don’t post much at all anymore, but I’m looking for information about one of my old friends here, FlattopSF (Kerry). He passed away in 2013, and I’m just looking for a link to an archived obit or anything. Anyone have any info? I’d be deeply appreciative. ~GLA

Summer! Consider the chair pulled up! Actually, lemme grab the $1500 massage chair I’ve been lusting over for 2 years LOL! Beats the hell out of the horrid metal folding chairs we all had to endure for 2+ hours every Sunday! LOL

Ziller…this was perhaps the best belated birthday gift I’ve ever received! Feel free to giggle at my expense, but reading one of your beloved stories made me literally tear up *sniffle*. How I’ve missed this!!

Pierogi are an absolute staple in our house. Unfortunately, we just buy the frozen kind, but cooked the right way (DH has perfected the method LOL) they’re an addictive vice that I’m in no hurry to recover from! *Wink*

Not a huge surprise there. But, if we can help even one person take the blinders off, we keep fighting! Yee haw! Or something…

Hi!!! I definitely remember you!! Yeah I’m looking around trying to get my bearings again since there’s been so much of a switch-up in management, etc. Lots of things (a majority of them very unpleasant and due to my health) have happened and are continuing to happen in my life. It’d take an epic poem or doctorate thesis to go over all of it. Suffice to say that I’m in a very differen

Hi y’all! Hoping that some of you guys might remember me; it’s been so many years since I last posted here, but I wanted to drop in and say hi and catch up with my RfM pals, and to see what’s being discussed these days. GLA

If so, I was on that for awhile a few years ago. It really helped for awhile but didn’t last more than a few months, even when I was on the higher end of the clinical dose. I take Cymbalta and Lamictal now. After almost 2 decades of trying every medication combos under the sun, this one has been the best so far. Also, for depression, I found something that has literally changed my life. Eve

...to some publishers (after some intense editing and a lot of additions and corrections). The link is just to another spot in RfM, so I figured it wouldn’t be a big deal. All the parts are on the linked page. Once again, it’s a bigass read, but I’d love some feedback. http://exmormon.org/phorum/list.php?3,page=12 GLA

Just FYI- I emailed Susan I/S about posting the link to my Exmo blog here in the forum. My memoir and a bunch of my other rants and ramblings are there, too. I just don’t wanna post the link until I get the OK from the Powers that Be.

Many of you already know this, but a few years ago, I had a ridiculously ferocious attack of writer’s diarrhea, and typed out my life story (up to that point, anyway), focusing a lot on all of the horrors and my shattered heart and soul at the hands of the LDS and its members & local leadership. It ended up being over 60 pages written over the course of less than 10 days. I posted it here i

Kerry chose to end his own life. He was probably one of the last people I would have expected to do that. Just goes to show that we all battle our own demons every day. There have been a few terrifying incidents in the past couple years when I quite seriously considered it myself. But now, probably more so than any other time in my life, I want to live. I want to thrive. But none of us should ass

Yep! Just southwest of the Poinathamou’in Veil in northern Utah County. We should maybe get coffee sometime. I can already tell we would get along famously. Was that too presumptuous of me to ask a married straight guy on a totally-platonic-man-date?
