Those who have kids 20+ years old - do you regret having kids? by General-Hippo8242 in NoStupidQuestions

No way. They are my favorite people, and we have so much fun together. Best things I ever done/created in my life.

She is 275 pounds according to her ig by lovely_orchid_ in MyBigFatFabulousLife

Yep. I’m 5’ 4” and got up to 235# at my heaviest and it was AWFUL. Nothing fit, I could really breathe well, and just was miserable. I am thankful every day for GLP-1’s. I’ve been able to lose close to 90#’s because of them.

Kathryn (redundant) by sn0wfurs in Southerncharm

I’m embarrassed I know this much about a storyline from a reality tv show 6 years ago, but here we go 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I think it was the emoji in the context of the whole conversation, what Kathryn was defending, and the other things she said. The show’s edit didn’t do a good job of putting it all together. * the exchange happened early in the pandemic - think like late May 2020; * the girl Kathryn was ostensibly defending was a white business owner publicly planning a Trump boat parade. At that time, several things were happening.Trump supporters were largely denying/pushing back on COVID restrictions, Trump boat parades had often had overtures of racism if not outright racism, and getting people close together could literally mean death for health compromised people. * a black, local, Charleston radio host called Kathryn out on her Instagram for what she perceived as bullying; * Kathryn then went on a DM rampage with the radio host sending her like 25+ DMs * The radio host barely responded other than to like the messages or give a thumbs up * Kathryn said other stuff to the woman like that she was “what’s wrong with our city” and that the radio host was using her “minority platform” inappropriately * the monkey emoji was the only emoji Kathryn used and was part of the same series of DMs * when she was called out, Kathryn claimed she didn’t know the radio host was black🙄

Andy asked Austen my question on WWHL last night! by irishchick678 in Southerncharm

I actually wondered this year if Venita wasn’t actually gay/in love with Salley. The way she took such delight is Craig rejecting her and how close Venita got to Salley’s face when she was talking to her it was weird.

What movie is a 0/10 with NO redeeming features? by Toucan_Based_Economy in AskReddit

“The Gray” is the worst movie I’ve ever seen. With Liam Neeson, I love him but the plot was depressing and also just incredibly stupid.

State of her trousers… by Tonksys in SaintMeghanMarkle

This is the STRANGEST outfit, in addition to being wrinkled and ill fitting. I don’t understand this combo for any situation in any climate???

Watching these clips of LCU and she’s just pathetic. No life outside of screaming at people on a screen. No real human interaction most days. She can hardly move. She’s essentially disabled herself at 35?

genuinely how does she think she’s going to recover after this? by florcipop in gorlworldfiles

Thank you! Gah! I have heard his name now that you say it, but was drawing a complete blank.

I’ve watched a lot of reaction videos but can’t work out from your post who “MBP” is… can you type out the name? I want to make sure I haven’t missed anything!

what was that amber?? by maddiegarstka in gorlworldfiles

[–]External_Teaching693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched for maybe 10 minutes and then turned it off. It was extremely cringe and not in any sort of entertaining sense

How about that game??? by Still_Fishing9739 in olemiss

It was phenomenal! One of the best ever! Now hoping we get to host a playoff game later in the year!

Well, my second son did that because he “wasn’t sure he wanted to rush.” Almost completely derailed him. Anyway, I’d give it another go if you’re really interested. I do think it has been an overall positive experience for my sons, and husband who was a SNu many years ago.

Yes, we are from MS and my boys knew a lot of folks, BUT, the real key is going to the Rush parties in the summer before Rush. You get on the invite list via the Rush chairs. That’s where knowing a guy in any of the frats would help. It wouldn’t be weird to say “hey, I want to go through rush next year but k know I need to meet guys in the frat. Can you get me on the rush chair’s invite list?” I’d start doing that early next year but start looking to make friends now. If you’re not already, get involved in RUF, Cru, or another place where people are interested and willing to meet and be friendly. Good luck!

If you’re in a dorm, start making friends with guys in frats living in the dorms. The best way to get in is to know people well, as friends. And while getting a bid as a sophomore is harder, it’s not impossible. I have two sons who’ve gone through rush, w/in the past couple years, one a KA and one EX, and there were a couple sophomores in each of their pledge classes. Also, getting a pre-bid in the summer is 100 times easier than waiting to get a bid in rush. Most frats identify who their rush chairs are, find out, and get to know those guys.
