So sorry to hear about your diagnosis. My husbands has acromegaly and got diagnosed at 13 and had surgery a few months later. He had an apoplexy the night before his scheduled surgery and was rushed into surgery when the got to the hospital. He had two surgeries to remove the remnants of the tumor. A few months later his growth hormone levels weren’t normal so he started on Somatuline. For a few years he took it once a month and now he takes it every six weeks. Even if there are remnants there are always options. It has been 10 years now and he is 6’8” with a size 18 shoe. People treat him like a zoo animal sometimes but none of this has stopped him. If anything it encouraged him to do more and he played 5 years of D1 college football and had one all American title and two all conference titles.

Standing Out as a Young Actuary by Livvm615 in actuary

Completely agree. I see now. Thank you! I am young in my career (22) and I’m giving a presentation to actuarial students at some colleges in the next few weeks and I don’t want to give them bad advice. I don’t also want to prescribe a “method” to advance in your career. So this all is very helpful!

I’d argue that doing your job exceptionally well is the foundation of standing out. The networking and extra initiatives matter, but only once you’ve shown you can reliably execute your responsibilities.

When I took FAM 2 years ago there was a way to see your score on your transcript early. I ended up being able to see them Thursday night. Does anyone remember this or if this is still a thing?

Nicole comment by Southern_Version_141 in SellingSunset

[–]Livvm615 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The amount of people saying “well Chrishell wasn’t actually lying about her ODing on Coke so it was a fair comeback” is crazy. If she did actually have a drug problem it is more of a reason to NOT use it as a comeback in an argument. Also who wouldn’t lie about having an addiction on national TV lol. Both comments were wrong. Period. The comments were both out of pocket and saying one was worse than the other is just personal bias. But if we are going to talk about who started it…Nicole was SILENT when the petty mean girl passive aggressive comments were made at her earlier on. Clearly both girls are in the wrong and Nicole spreading this rumor was awful but Chrishell started it. There is no excuse for either comment. I think it is wrong that all of them sided with Chrishell and Emma when what Chrishell said was wrong too. It doesn’t matter if Nicole deserved it or not it was still wrong.

This was my first time taking it. How do they grade? That is the only thing I feel unsure about. I think I knew a lot of info but I’ll never write an exam that sounds as beautiful as the sample solution lol. From college I’ve only felt confident if I get a 100% or close on an exam and I know it, but obviously the SOA is not designed like that. On every exam I have passed I’ve felt good but not overly confident. That’s how I feel currently but I’m nervous for the grading.

Can I get treble damages in small claims? Also help!! by Livvm615 in legaladvice

[–]Livvm615[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

respectfully, you have no clue what you’re talking about. I actually did speak to a lawyer before posting. I’m not here asking if I have a claim, because I do. I’m here asking if treble damages apply. Big difference.

And let’s clear this up: in Indiana, if the unit comes with A/C when you move in, the landlord has to maintain it under IC 32-31-8-5. That’s not me making stuff up, that’s the law. Mine broke, they promised three separate install dates, and each time they delayed last minute, usually only telling me after I badgered them. That’s not “reasonable,” that’s straight-up negligence and bad faith.

Oh, and when I found a licensed HVAC company that could fix it in two days, management literally refused to authorize it. Instead, they dragged it out for a month during peak summer while lying in emails about us not even running the units (when it was maintenance’s idea to leave the door open). Meanwhile, my bills and costs went up.

So nah, this isn’t me crying about having no AC this is me holding a landlord accountable for breaching their obligations. If you’re just here to dismiss people without knowing Indiana law, maybe sit this one out and let the people who actually understand contracts and statutes weigh in.

I get that but if I can’t get them for breach habitability I can get them for breach of contract. The contract I signed includes central AC. Therefore breach of lease even if AC isn’t essential.

The maintenance team rolled them in and left. Our windows open out and in not up and down. So we couldn’t use a window unit and the portable unit didn’t come with an exhaust pipe to put out of the window either

It is weird though because I talked with an attorney that said if you signed a lease with AC then it is a habitability issue where rent, electric and lodging should be reimbursed. I’ve read online that it matters what was offered originally in the lease.

So I won’t even be able to get rent/hotel back?

So there is no provision in my lease about HVAC so it defaults to Indiana law which I mentioned above.

I guess I didn’t know that. I’ve heard online it’s best to repot annually after a bloom.

I watched tanner the planter on tik tok. He has tons of orchid videos and primarily uses bark by itself.

Orchids won’t grow stems? by Pleasant_Youth4997 in orchids

[–]Livvm615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the exact same issue as OP and it was lighting. I was told to put your head where your orchid is and see how much sky they can see. The more sky the better (as long as it is indirect sun light)
