@bjrop91 bleh, the misery-go-round of "remedies" that don't work or are only temporary. I hate that it's a prerequisite. And the tiniest improvement is like "welp I guess this is the best I can hope for?" so you try to live with it, as if years of guinea-pigging isn't a cost.

My kid finally asked how babies are made. "Well, there's an egg and a—" "What, you go and get an egg?" "No, the eggs are inside of our bodies." "WHAT." That's when she laughed at me and left the room.

Got my daughter a Facebook Kids account to message friends and family during coronavirus, and now I'm seeing she sent pictures of herself to all the grandparents, with animated ornaments and the label "Big Sister." Uhhh. That's not happening. Time to get on the phone.

Fifteen years ago today, I moved to Salt Lake City. And it took all 15 of those years for me to discover that we have in this town a bar that sells boxed wine by the frosty mug. Cheers, friends. You changed my life.

New records confirm it was “standard practice” for BYU to use police in its Honor Code surveillance.

BYU police had claimed officers were not “out there digging up dirt on students and shipping it to the Honor Code Office.” Newly released documents confirm that’s exactly what was happening.

A federal judge undid racial gerrymandering in a majority-Navajo county in Utah. Now white political leaders are talking secession.

There's more to the story behind the famed bobcat Mr. Murderbritches! Turns out this "mean little cuss" was a repeat offender, but wildlife officers think they have set him up to survive in the wild. For in-depth Murderbritches coverage, turn to @sltrib !

Insulin prices have gotten so high that Utah diabetics are going online to beg each other for their leftover pens & vials. Now a group of #Insulin4all patients is shuttling donated meds around the state — even though it's technically illegal.

As costs of insulin rise, Utah diabetics are going online to plead for the drug from strangers

Remember how BYU students were getting punished after reporting sex assaults, and predators were using the Honor Code to silence their victims, and then the school added an amnesty policy to encourage crime reporting & keep victims in school? The latest:

My kid's first-grade class just switched from Zoom to some other platform for her online class because of the porn-bombing reports. But this new platform sucks so bad that I think we'd all rather just deal with the porn.

I kind of couldn't believe how many times I had to write that this or that statistical resources hadn't been updated. Cases are spreading more rapidly than ever, Utah's got the 5th-worst outbreak in the US, and ... just a whole lot of nothing.

With 622 more cases of COVID-19 in Utah, leaders call on Gov. Herbert to impose statewide mask order
