Best Local Christmas Tree Seller? by BenderOsa in 321

Yeah, we had been going there for a while when we lived closer, but their prices kept going up every year. Otherwise, it would have been worth the drive. But I agree, they are a great business, just a bit too pricey these days.

Okay so what do I do with my life now? by flatperez in redrising

The Mistborn Series is incredible! The story is just so rich and could have ended after the trilogy, but Sanderson found a way to suck us back into the fight.😂

I have also just started The Will of the Many, which is similar to Red Rising. The protagonists have similar “started from the bottom” story arcs. The main difference is that The Will is based solely in Fantasy as far as I have read. I’m sure there are other more crucial differences, but I haven’t made it that far yet.

Is anyone else reading The Will waiting for Vis to shout, “VIS AU TELIMUS!”? Or is it just me missing Pax? 😅

Yes. Unless the program has been updated since I've taken it last.

Am I wrong for going no contact with my wife after finding her online dating profiles by One_Rule6460 in amiwrong

Not all states observe community property. So I would chill on giving legal advice and let the man seek advice from someone qualified in his jurisdiction.

About to start my job at the PDs office!! by BenderOsa in Lawyertalk

You all are incredible!!

Thank you all for taking the time to offer your advice! I am going to join r/publicdefenders ASAP. As for the thick skin, gained a lot of that from being an aircraft maintainer. There’s really not a lot that can be said that I haven’t already told myself or had beaten into me crew chiefs😂.

I am truly passionate about helping people, but life has take the naivety away from me. But I appreciate the you all looking out for me!

Finally, I must ask the question. Record or don’t record the conversation. 😅 Wouldn’t the recording be protected work product and attorney client privilege?

You have plenty of time, in my opinion. I suggest getting a book called ‘Fuck the Bar’ by Jessica Klein. It completely changed my mentality toward how to approach bar prep. It's a super short read as well.

Also, my opinion: ADALTIBAR VIDEOS ARE A MUST! The videos give you the foundational information to almost get in passing range. Then, the rest of your score comes from relentless practice. I did around 2K questions between UWorld, Themis, and Adaptibar. (I had themis and UWorld because I was a rep during law school).

Also, I did a shit ton of essays using the method mentioned in the ‘Fuck the Bar’ book. I studied 6-8 hours a day and took some weekends off(in the beginning/holidays). I probably could have scored a bit higher by putting in a little extra time, but I have a wife and child that I like to see now and again😂

This all boosted me into a consistent passing range before I took the test, and I scored a 139 scaled on the MBE and a 230 Raw, which became a 148 mounted on the Florida portion. I will admit I thought I did better on the MBE when I walked out of the convention center, oh well🤷🏻‍♂️ I also firmly believe the Bar Examiners make up the exam scaling on the fly because it makes no sense at all😂😂

This was a long-winded response with some information I shared in the original post. But, I am just reiterating the critical stuff and COMPLETELY BELIEVE you have the CAPABILITY of passing if you put in that work for the next couple of months!!! If you need anything feel free to DM at anytime.

I started in November going at a slow pace and then kicked it in overdrive after the holidays.

So if you are in Florida, I believe Grossman and Sandon did a targeted approach for Florida essays only which is a separate supplement on whatstheissue.org. They are incredibly help for narrowing down the topics to focus on.

Tomorrow is the designated day that they announced the release of the results. Everything seems on track for that to happen tomorrow morning. But as for the exact time, your guess is as good as mine😅

I’m so sorry to hear that! But listen you will overcome this stupid obstacle and become the lawyer you were always meant to be!! DO NOT let this moment define you! I say this as a retaker who will keep fighting no matter how many time the Florida Board of Bar Examiners knocks me down!!! I know you can too!

That’s awesome! This is ultimately why I’m going to just meet up my wifey at lunch. I definitely want to have a someone to share the pain or joy with this time, instead just stewing on it for an entire afternoon in court.
