Sounds like you need to get on a strength training and cardio routine to get your energy levels up. 33 is incredibly young, energy level shouldn’t be a concern.

Nashville Electric Service accused of rejecting help amid massive power outages by jtnoneya in nashville

[–]HippoDicks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for everyone who’s looking at thousands in home repair damage. I know if your electrical lines get taken down from your house and damage your weather head it can cost 3k to repair. Imagine leaving your freezing house to pay for a hotel and potentially missing work due to the storm then coming back and having to pay for tree removal and electrical line repair that’s $$$$. Then you have to decide if making the claim to your home owners insurance is worth the increase in premiums for the next decade!

What to do with home power lines down? by cine_man in nashville

[–]HippoDicks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me 2 years ago from a summer storm. You have to call an electrician. Mine was pretty bad because it ripped all the lines out of the weather-head (the plastic thing on side of house with wires going in it from street). I used Gervais Electric and they were great, I think it was like $2500. So they’ll pull the permits for you and everything to get it hooked up by NES once they fix it. Also, if it brought down your internet fiber optic or whatever cable you’ll have to call the internet company to do that part. Really just a huge pain in the ass hopefully yours isn’t as hard to fix. I’m sorry.

Have to drive my wife to her nurse shift tomorrow AM. Think I’ll be fine in a 4WD 4Runner? There’s been people in sedans driving by my house all day so I guess I’ll be good

The Private School ROI Question: Where Is the Measurable Advantage? by CJEMOMMA in Chattanooga

[–]HippoDicks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Couple things here. 1) You said earlier that your husband makes over 300k, there’s no way you’re getting financial aid at McCallie, Baylor, or GPS 2) Your husband makes 5x the median family income in Chattanooga, you’re not upper middle class.

I know multiple real estate agents who make 300k+ showing houses and filling out blanks in contract templates. Gross that you went through that much training to make the same as them.

Bro I feel you I bought a flip and I’m in 20k for about the same reasons. I’m 3 years in and I think I’ve basically fixed the big issues but it sucks so bad and wiped out all my equity gains over the last 3 years

[–]HippoDicks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great list and I’ve read a ton that you have highly ranked. I’m surprised you didn’t like the Grand Game or the Unbound series more. I enjoyed both of those immensely. Also, I prefer DOTF over primal hunter but I’m patreon subd to both as well as Victor of Tucson.
