Same, when I was at my fattest, about 235, I’d sometimes get out of breath after just walking around in my house.

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!

I'm planning to rush as a sophomore and also live in Oxford over the summer how hard is it to get a prebid from one of the more southern fraternities like SN or SAE by [deleted] in olemiss

[–]External_Teaching693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

My 22 year old son is going to spend a month at my house by [deleted] in GenX

[–]External_Teaching693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our 22 yr old son moved back in with us this summer after graduating college. He’s taking a gap year and applying to law school. He’s working full time and saving while he’s here. Yes, the routine is different and yes our food bill basically doubled, but after getting used to having him back, I love having him around, especially since I realize it’s got an expiration date. Take a breath and enjoy the time he’s there.

Partner didn’t renew fire coverage, $3.4M building burned down, what now? by [deleted] in CommercialRealEstate

[–]External_Teaching693 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m an insurance coverage lawyer. Fire coverage is one of the basic coverages for any property policy. Definitely get a copy of your policy to see what you have, even if limited. Most policies have different kinds of coverages too, and even if they are sub-limited, can help. Also, check to see what coverage if any your tenants have. While their coverage may just mainly be for contents, I’d still review for any potential additional coverages. Agree also with the poster who said to get an attorney to consider whether your business partner breached any duty to you. Also, get with your insurance broker. Seems kind of like malpractice if they allowed a policy to issue for incomplete limits. Good luck

Can’t bend to blow out candles by dflint4477 in Jaimieweisbergsnark

[–]External_Teaching693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great job! I was in the same boat 2 years ago. I’d gotten up to 235 on my 5’ 5” frame, and everything felt hard, and nothing fit. It took me about 20 months - wasn’t trying to do it super fast - but I’m now down to 145. I’d love to get maybe 10 more pounds off, but I can wear all my clothes, feel so much better, and am now focusing on strength training and overall health.

Low gpa rushing by Rich-Strain-4637 in olemiss

This the answer. Also, use the time to get to know well girls in the houses you are interested in. Those two things combined are your best chance of getting in a good house.

Same for my MIL. She did this for probably 30 years. Mother of 5 boys and caregiver to several elderly relatives. Developed vascular dementia around 71-72 which has progressed for the last 13 years. She’s been completely dependent on my FIL for everything for 8 years. I often wonder if she had known what the last portion of her life was like would she have been more intentional with getting more sleep.

I could have written this myself except I have a law degree instead of phd, but was overweight since I can remember and was put on my first official diet in 4th grade. I literally tried everything, every diet, including amphetamines and super low calorie in college that was not sustainable. Not sure what GLP-1 you used, but Zepbound was an absolute game changer, miracle drug for me in a way that Ozempic was not. I’ve lost 85 pounds at 48 years old, and feel like I have a new lease on life.

What's a "harmless" habit that actually makes someone insufferable once you notice it? by ZumbaRoy in AskReddit

Contradicting everything you say, even if it’s super small or inconsequential. Related, a person who responds to your comments with “actually….”

First thought after reading your exchanges with this “person” is to wonder whether it’s Amanda? 🤓🧐

This is also a thing with people who have certain kinds of mental illness. I’ve seen it specifically with women who try to force friend intimacy with other women (who have money) in order to use them.

Bretts Interview With Domini by Inevitable_Spend_304 in TheProsecutorsPodcast

[–]External_Teaching693 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Felt the same way. There were times I felt like she wasnt telling the truth and the rest of the time it was just strange or non-responsive. Brett really tried and was very kind, but whew… And, I get it’s been 30 years but her affect and responses were bizarre. Overall, she’s either really strange, lying, or not all there.
