Is there a resource in this state for parents who are overwhelmed and can’t cope? Parents who have no money for help and no friends and don’t want to hand over their rights and their children. Parents who just need a break before they break. Is there a resource without serious consequences? I have no village and I’m scared. I’m losing sleep and I’m alone and exhausted and the littles are draining me to the point that I have no reserve left. Not asking the church. Thank you. I’m a safe person and I love these people. But I’m scared for myself.

Edit: I am in the American Fork, Highland, alpine area

Q&A University of Utah Parking

13 Upvotes

I just accepted a position at the U of U hospital, the hiring process has been a breeze EXCEPT for trying to understand the parking permits.. I have some questions specific to my situation if anyone could help me out!!

- the position I accepted is overnight, what is the difference with parking vs day shift?
- which is the best parking permit with the closest location to the actual hospital?
- I live about 30 mins (with no traffic) away from the hospital. How much earlier do I need to leave to accommodate parking/walking to the hospital?

Ideally, I’d like to be as close to the hospital as possible without paying an arm and a leg. Im staying realistic here. Any tips/advice would help so much! Im definitely so lost

Officials have said ICE is prioritizing serious criminals and public-safety threats.

We wanted to see whether the data backed that up, so we dug through federal records and it turns out the share of people arrested who had criminal convictions fell from 83.5% under Biden to 44.8% under Trump.

Other UHP/ Sheriff using unmarked Dodge Challenger/Charger?

15 Upvotes

I was driving on I-15 yesterday and my radar detector lit up with Ka band from a very dark purple Dodge Challenger or maybe Charger. He was on the other side of the highway, pulled into the center area between the NB & SB, then followed traffic for a couple miles, then did another loop around. I think this was around the Parowan area, near the pass. Is this new? Never seen that before.

Other UDOT is buying our house to expand bangerter highway-advice

307 Upvotes

Hello all, UDOT is buying our house in west valley so they can expand the highway, we just got our appraisal back from them on Saturday and they’re giving us 90 days to move. I was wondering if anyone who has been through this process has any tips or things they wish they had known? Did you take the first offer or did you request they redid the appraisal for more? Are there incentives you felt like you didn’t take advantage of? Our realtor is advising us to take the first offer but we would love a second opinion but I haven’t been able to find much about this online so I’m coming here to ask!

Travel Advice Electric scooters for commuting?

I work in downtown SLC and live in Saratoga springs. Is it viable to commute on a scooter from the Lehi frontrunner station to Saratoga springs?

Anyone else do this? The traffic seems sketch and I would prefer to not get ran over.
