I learn more about LDS businesses on 2peas than I do anywhere else. I learn more about LDS everything! I tried listening to the podcast about Mormon history sleepingbooty shared but it's more than I need or want to know. I need to find a condensed version. Naked Mormonism is an extremely dense and rich podcast and even I haven't been able to get completely caught up despite trying for a few years now. But it's the best thing out there to know every little turn and detour of the history of the LDS Church if anyone is ever interested (I think this is best suited for those who already have some decent knowledge of Mormon history because otherwise you'll be googling terms and names left and right). For a very condensed version, I recommend this 4:30 min (yes!) video: This discussion with Bryce Blankenagel, host of Naked Mormonism, is also very informative and focuses on Joseph Smith (a "colourful" character, to say the least) + the Book of Mormon (just over 1h): ETA: Look, I'm critical of religion in general and in particular those that have strict social requirements, mandatory tithing and whatnot. But I can vouch for Mormonism as being one of the more entertaining religions to look at historically. It is one heck of a story. I have no ties whatsoever to the Church of LDS but once I stared into that abyss, trust me, it stared right back at me like I was on some serious drugs. It's extremely entertaining. Don't be fooled by the no-coffee-no-alcohol-pure-bodies of modern Mormons: the origin history of their Church is bonkers. Wild wild west, swindling, setting traps for outsiders, setting traps for insiders, coup attempts, shootings, forming an alliance with Natives to overthrow the US government, polygamy, family rivalry, etc. There is material for SO MANY seasons of very entertaining TV. And that's a major compliment on my behalf. I spent years down the Scientology rabbit hole but Mormonism blows that out of the water. I don't know how one could possibly render the extent of the Church's origin story in just one book or two-hour movie.

This is how the latest email begins, written below a photo of her staring down at us with a smirk. It then goes on to share IG stories about how to document the virus from herself and others, and download links for "coronavirus journaling sheets," offered to help in "documenting your experience during this historical time."

^^^ HUGE face palm. She is really clueless, isn't she?
(oh, but it's all under the guise of her 'serving us' with her wisdom... so that makes it all better, then.)

I am going to miss her. She always came across as positive, authentic, full of life, and just a very bright light in general. Had no clue BH knew her.

I am not a cynic. She doesn't update the App at all for almost a year. It has been a year right? Then she updates the app during a pandemic? ? WTF!!! I took a peek at her IG and people seemed happy about it. I don't know this doesn't seem to be an act of kindness. I don't know how she can wrap her head around Project Life at this time. Her husband should be in the thick of it soon with his work in the hospital. Maybe, this is her way of comfort and coping. If she wasn't so shilling and whining all the time I would think that this was a coping mechanism.

While we are all staying home lots of people are crafting to pass the time. There are lots of peas even who use the PL app so what is so wrong about that to you? Oh and if you think BH is so bad you ought to check out Jordan Page on YouTube and Instagram. That woman with her 8 kids and constant discount codes will make your head explode. BH doesn't have anything on Jordan and her fellow minions LOL.

Acutally I got that info from this thread that she hasn't been updating. Yes, the app has had updates. She hasn't had collections in it. Yes, it's this thread where you all talked about it.
I posted that people seemed happy about it. I don't get it. That's what I was saying. I even had compassion that maybe she was just uploading things because her DH is going to be in severe danger and this is her way of coping. I shouldn't said WTF and I deserve a hand slap. It was this thread that has shown many times that Becky usually doesn't do things for kindness. I am not going to get an argument or debate about this. I was just a bit stunned that is all. What do you all uncover here every single time- Becky greed. It was an observation. I am not going to get in a debate or argument during a pandemic. We all need to unite right now till we flatten the curve. I said this on another thread. It's a place of privilege and health if you can debate and argue. Keep that close to you because soon it could be taken away. Flatten the Curve then we can all debate and argue to our content. Yes, I will call out greedy people during this pandemic. They deserve it. If Becky was just trying to bring some happiness and trying to cope during all of this then I send her hugs. If she's being greedy then she needs to be called out. Really ladies I know we all like to bitch about Becky. I hope we can go bitch about her soon. I know I did the WTF and I need a hand slap about my post. Becky's DH is in this and he's on the front line. I am sure she is scared out of her mind. I have a DH too on the front line. Her DH could save one of our loved ones or even one of our members here.
No, Thank you I don't want to want videos or follow IG's of privilege women. Those women are putting my DH and Becky's DH's lives in danger.

If you scroll 5 comments down to where "flawsomecottage" comments, I find that sooo sad! In case my attempt to embed this doesn't work, here's the synopsis. Becky posted about this being a time of thankfulness, prayer, faith, etc. Flawsomecottage posted that she is a nurse who is working somewhere without enough supplies, etc. and she's NOT finding peace, gifts, or anything positive right now except feeling like this "hell on earth". insert code here http://instagr.am/p/B-ezdlUBFP8

Becky should have had a full bag of a Big League Chew in her maw. She sees this PANDEMIC as a gift from God??? Good Lord, I get being thankful for time with your family and making the most of this terrible situation, but saying this “pause” is a gift when how many people are out of work, separated from their family, struggling for a myriad of reasons and nearly 60,000 sons, daughters, husbands, wives, grandparents, sisters, brothers, are dead already. And this isn’t even close to being over. She makes me sick.

Well, I tried to show empathy to somebody who has a husband in the medical field during this crisis. Becky does it again with another clueless post. I still want to say maybe she is posting these things because it's her way of trying to find a silver lining in a horrid situation. I really hope that is the case but she keeps doing this entitlement thing. Don't yell at me about Becky and the things she does. I have read all the Becky things she does, lol. I like to be positive and try to see good in things even when they are not. I do really hope her DH is safe during this epidemic.
My DH is on the front lines. Every day he goes out I have the worst fear that I could never put into words. He keeps coming across entitlement like you would not believe. People who jeopardize his health every single day. When he comes safely home it's like I keep starting a clock over again from a possible exposure. He is being super safe but we know this virus doesn't care about that. I have already lost five people from the virus. I agree with the nurse that slapped back at her. I don't think Flawsomecottage is a member here but she is a blessing and a warrior. I wish we could all send her gifts of more testing kits, ventilators, masks and more protective gear. That is the gifts right now in this world.
@skellinton Love your Grandma's quote.

Doesn't her husband work in a hospital? How can she be so tone deaf and clueless when her spouse is one of the people on the front lines?! Unreal.
@amayalylac, I hope your husband is doing okay, both physically and mentally.

I always got the impression that Becky doesn’t handle reality well and David “handles things” so it wouldn’t surprise me if Becky is unaware of the severity hospitals are facing. She’s pretty sheltered and likes to live in her bubble.

I don’t have any feelings one way or another about BH. She isn’t worth my energy...but...she uses a phrase a lot “a feeling of overwhelm. Not “feeling overwhelmed” or an “overwhelming feeling”.
Is “a feeling of overwhelm” a regional phrase or a Becky thing?

Post by kiera on Apr 5, 2020 5:56:41 GMT
crafty that's a good point. Either she's blissfully unaware, or she's in serious denial. I'd love to know more about David and what he's like, I imagine he's a good balance to her...... quirks.

Unreal. @amayalylac , I hope your husband is doing okay, both physically and mentally. He's an anesthesiologist. I know most of the ladies here know more than I do. What I have heard over the years he seems to be a sweet man. Thank you about my DH.

She’s pretty sheltered and likes to live in her bubble. she needs to just stay in her bubble, then, and not try to philosophize about it for the rest of us who live in the *real* world. @amayalylac, I am sorry to hear about the losses you've had due to this pandemic, and for the worry and fear you have for your DH's safety. (((hugs)))
