Oh dear! I here ya! I'm a "California Mormon" living in Utah, and get sick of the "differences" people think are there. I've heard it both places. Who cares!! In reality, there are faithful members everywhere. Yes, you have to get past the cultural differences and the cultural Mormons, but there are plenty of people outside of Utah that follow their faith for cultural reasons. It's just how it is, whether you are Mormon or Catholic or whatever. In reality, many people who live in Utah now aren't from Utah or have lived elsewhere. Some people here do have a closed minded mentality. Oh well, nothing new. Their's people like that everywhere.

As for plastic surgery, it's a personal decision. If you are really unhappy with who you are then it won't help. No amount of surgery in the world will fix low self esteem. If you are really unhappy with a part of yourself and you can afford it, more power too you! For me it's my dark circles and the scar on the tip of my nose, perhaps some day I can have these corrected.
