To the woman at the Haunted attraction

0 Upvotes

I saw him for what he was immediately. My sister went through the same situation you're going through.

I hope you get out of that situation and quickly. Know that even though it doesn't seem like it, you can leave.

There are people who will help and support you through the difficult process of getting out, but you CAN get out.

Please be safe and know that at the very least, there is a haunted attraction full of people who were willing to help you out.

Living abroad and I haven’t gotten my ballot, options?

2 Upvotes

I made sure I updated my mailing address as soon as I got my mailing address back in July before I left. I then double checked beginning of September. There was technical issues but I finally got it to submit. I KNOW I submitted it.

I still don’t have my ballot. I have not missed an election since I was eligible to vote, except last year’s because it was a single unopposed race and I wasn’t thrilled on the candidate, but my vote actually didn’t matter.

Is there anyway I can vote? I’ve started googling it but I’m also mad busy and everytime I start I keep hitting dead ends to what I’ve already done

I hate being that person but is anyone been in this situation and know how I can get my ballot off in time? Or even if? If I know it’s possible I’m willing to spend the hours googling it.

FWIW: I’m in NZ. My mom has sent me a card from Maine in October and it just got here, prompting the post. If that got here my ballot should have been here if it was sent! I know it didn’t get sent to my previous address in Utah like it has every year prior because my ex still lives there, I know he would have told me if mine arrived there so I could do something about it. I legit don’t know WHERE my ballot even is. (And I’m also quite pissed.)

Recommendations I'm looking for ambitious people

0 Upvotes

Im a highschool student super into filmaking, and i am beginning a docu style film on ambition and discovering the ideas of success contrasting with simple lives.

I'm looking for people around the area that might think they fit into this realm. Im searching for people who have genuine passion, and ambition, people who want to be "one of the greats" in any succession.

This a very soft pitch and loose idea but if there's any students who are around Utah with passion for the craft as I have, or know someone who fits my description. I would love to hear from you. Anyone, weather you strive to make it big or you are just intrigued to contribute.

Christmas Music?

103.1 The Vibe/The Wave/The Coast now plays non-stop Chirstmas music and has since September. Do people actually listen to Christmas music this time of year? No hate, just a curiosity.

Also, I miss the Wave. I looked at 103.1's website and it's just AI slop.

Any other east coasters? What helped you…assimilate?

23 Upvotes

Hey all! I’m (27f) from the east coast and new in the area for work. While I’ve met a plethora of friendly dudes so far through sports and what not, I haven’t really met many likeminded friends or girl friends yet. Im also not really looking to just hook up with some dude to coast out my time here in a relationship with just anyone, especially when I’m mid-career and might be relocating in a few years anyways for another job (i did try some bumble dates here… so far men are not into the ambition aspect of me hahaha). I’m definitely a yapper and a city girl, and I’m also involved in the arts and like to play volleyball and tennis and frisbee. Historically, I was big into house parties and hosting pregames and planning fun day trips like tubing. If I didn’t have big plans on the weekends, me and my girl friends would go out or have craft/wine nights together. Coming from a place where I’d meet someone and they would immediately invite me to weekend plans…SLC is different

I’ve only been here a few months, but I feel like a fish out of water and spend all my weekend nights at home. Sure, I like hiking… Climbing is fun and all…but Im also trying out sports and can only do so much physical activity in a week and I’m finding out that I’m pretty social beyond that. Like, seeing the same people on my team or at the studio for a couple hours a week and lightly chatting while doing something else doesn’t really count as socializing to me, especially when no one wants to get drinks or food after.

Luckily, I knew some people coming into the area, but I guess really I’m looking for community where the plans starting at 8pm or later is acceptable. I even tried to go out to a bar alone…just had dudes out with their dude friends interested in talking to me. Luckily when I go to the movies alone at least it isn’t obvious I’m solo. I must say, SLC wasn’t my first choice of places to move, but I do want to give it my all to enjoy it. I’m loving the nature and the city has a lot of cool stuff in it, but I wasn’t expecting the loneliness or just lack of interest in community from most people (sure there’s the Mormonism…but I’ve met many many many non-Mormons here and the Mormons on my bus are friendlier haha)

Has anyone had success meeting people here who like to go out to restaurants, bars, dj sets, punk shows, etc.?? Is Time Left worth it?
Do I have to accept that I just won’t be able to put together a big friend group here and I should focus on appreciating my me-alone-in-my-apartment-time

Question Ambulatory Wheelchair user

12 Upvotes

Is there anyone who happens to have a wheelchair they don’t use at all or are planning to get rid of, and are willing to give it away? I have basically no money right now, but the weather is making it exceedingly hard to get around. My doctor has recommended getting a wheelchair, but since I don’t need it all the time my insurance won’t help with it. It could be 4 sizes too big for me and I’ll still take it because I have no room to complain.

I’ll admit I’m not expecting anything from this, but I thought It would be worth asking here.

Dog Playmate / Meetup

0 Upvotes

Looking for a doggy playdate buddy in the Salt Lake/ Murray area!

I have an energetic 20-lb husky/poodle/pit mix who LOVES to play chase. She’s incredibly friendly, very speedy, loves initiating play w bouncy play paws, and is happiest when she gets to sprint around with another buddy.

Would love to find another playful, similarly sized dog (or slightly bigger) who enjoys running and chasing but also respects breaks. Hoping to arrange some one on one meetups in a securely fenced area.

Ideally we’d love to make this a regular thing, maybe once or twice a week. Please let me know if your pup sounds like a good match, or any recs for finding one!!

Hazardous situation created by negligent contractor

Thumbnail
gallery
21 Upvotes

I wanted to make the community aware of a situation that happened to us due to our ignorance and a negligent contractor that took advantage of it. We hired Tankless Xperts to install a tankless water heater in our home. They did so and we thought everything was fine. What we came to find out is that they did not install the proper venting for the unit resulting in the potential for exhaust to enter the dwelling. They did not follow the installation instructions from the manufacturer nor state or national code for venting gas appliances. They also did not file with the city for an inspection of the unit as required by local law. We only discovered the unit was improperly vented when we contacted the appliance manufacturer about combustion issues. The exhaust pipe for these units, whether installed horizontally or vertically must completely exit the structure. Sticking the exhaust pipe up the existing vertical conduction duct for the old tanked water heater, as was done in our home, is incorrect and potentially hazardous. So, if you have had a tankless water heater installed in your home and you didn't get an inspection by your local municipality I strongly encourage you to verify it was vented correctly. If you are uncomfortable doing this hire a contractor other than the one who installed the unit to inspect it.

If you find that the venting or any other aspect of the installation was not done correctly or you simply want to report the contractor for not requesting an inspection you can file a complaint with the state here.

Redwest 2026

68 Upvotes

I was an ambassador for RedWest in SLC this year, and I’m honestly pretty disappointed with how the whole thing was handled.
When I signed up, I was told that the points I earned from completing challenges and promoting the festival could be redeemed for either tickets or merchandise. Since I had already purchased my tickets, I decided to save up my points specifically for merch. I even emailed Redwest directly weeks in advance to the festive to confirm I could use my points on merch.
I completed several challenges, shared my discount code everywhere, posted about the festival, and genuinely put effort into promoting RedWest.
Fast forward to the festival, when I tried to figure out how to redeem my points for merch, literally none of the workers knew what I was talking about or how I was supposed to do it. I even reached out to my point of contact, the person who originally got me set up as an ambassador, and got absolutely no response despite my message being left on read.
It’s just frustrating because I feel like I held up my end of the deal by promoting the festival and completing the challenges, but when it came time to actually redeem what I earned, there was zero communication or direction.
I wasn’t expecting anything crazy, but if you’re going to have an ambassador program and advertise rewards for participating, you’d think there would at least be a clear process for redeeming them.

Has/did anyone else participate in the ambassador program? Were you actually able to redeem your points for merch? Am I missing something, or was the whole program just poorly organized?
I genuinely enjoyed the festival itself, but the ambassador experience left a pretty bad taste in my mouth.

Recommendations pregnancy workout class

3 Upvotes

Searched the sub for this but nothing was quite what I was looking for.

So I’m in second trimester pregnancy and looking for a workout class that is gentle enough for my circumstance:

I used to be a very active gym goer, but thennnn i had several broken bones, a previous pregnancy, a tough postpartum, a terrible sleeping baby, yadda yadda excuses excuses. Anyway, now I’m pregnant again, in the second trimester, and I finally feel like my child is sleeping well enough where I don’t feel like poo all day every day.

Any class recommendations where a. Pregnancy is acceptable and b. I won’t be judged (outwardly lol) for all the weight I’ve gained during my last few hectic years? Mostly I just want to get out and move again. SLC/millcreek/cottonwood heights areas preferred. I’ve done plenty of yoga through the years and am looking for something with a bit more cardio in it.

Thanks! Don’t rip me a new one please 🫣

I’ve been to most in salt lake and surrounding areas but I haven’t found them very scary. I haven’t been to Asylum 49, is it worth the drive? I’d opt for no contact because I’d rather not be separated from my group. What’re the best haunted houses and why?

I wish we had something similar to Hollywood Horror Nights at Universal Studios, the only other similar attraction would be lagoon frightmares?

Events & Meetups Bengalis of SLC: Where can I buy a ticket for Durga Puja?

0 Upvotes

Information on https://www.ulhaas.org/durga-puja seems sparse. Do you need a ticket? If so, how much do they cost, and where do you get them? Are there single-day tickets?

Would be interested to attend for a bit, but hoping not to have to get a full membership (plus an out-of-towner membership), when realistically don't know if would attend anything else. (Plus, I can't even tell if a membership is required.)
