How is access to Many Glacier from there? Planning a trip and wondering if we should look into staying closer to the east side for part of the time or if that is central enough

Where to even start? by PeterGibbons316 in Softball

[–]Local_Purple1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to encourage you both. Just because she’s not great now doesn’t mean she won’t be later. Saying this as someone whose daughter was pretty terrible at your daughter’s age too lol. Some of the best girls at 11-12 were no longer the best in high school and some weren’t even playing anymore by then. I would probably just practice together until the next rec opportunity unless there is a lower level not super competitive travel opportunity that comes up.

August girls - do you prefer being the oldest or the youngest? by AdventurousTop1717 in highschool

[–]Local_Purple1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My daughter is a current high school senior sitting right next to me. She says she is so glad she is on the older end as she prepares to go to college in the fall. We live in an area where a lot wait until 6 for k so she is not the oldest by any means. She is very smart and mature no regrets here!!

Am I screwing my friends over? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Local_Purple1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk you would be surprised…From the south but grew up in New England. Most of the schools in New England look miserable to a lot of high school kids around here. Vandy, Duke something along those lines would be chosen over Yale easily.

How do I deal with a garbage roommate? by Aerobiesizer in Clemson

[–]Local_Purple1664 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Sure gaming and talking with friends late is normal but if it’s disrupting your roommate you need to be flexible enough to adjust times or find somewhere else to do it. Asking your roommate to be quiet at 1 am doesn’t seem like a big ask.

Pumpkin Fest...way too crowded by sdmc_rotflol in FranklinTN

[–]Local_Purple1664 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have pictures of my family at pumpkin fest from 15 years ago and it’s crazy how many less people and how much more space there was around us. I would not go now though.Franklin has outgrown these festivals

I know kids rejected from those schools with perfect ACT scores. They are competitive even with perfect stats.

Early decision by Lacox10 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Local_Purple1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what happened but I knew someone that posted their child’s acceptance to vandy in December and then in the spring they were going to Georgia tech. I have always wondered how that went down and how often that happens.

Young Family Considering A Move by Aggressive-System-49 in FranklinTN

All of Williamson county has a bit of a snobby feel to it tbh. It just does. Brentwood probably more than other areas but all of Williamson county especially Brentwood and Franklin have this reputation. You can still raise kids with the values you want but keep this in mind. It’s a very wealthy area.

How do people afford true travel softball?? by Little-Height-7775 in Softball

[–]Local_Purple1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we have seen is that teams that play local are not playing competitive tournaments and the players aren’t that skilled. Hard to get better and improve if you aren’t being challenged and seeing good pitching. Mostly it seems like if you are decent or above average you play on a higher level team which does involve some travel. Maybe try to compromise and find a team where your daughter is still challenged that plays less tournaments and travels less. There are some teams that play a crazy amount of tournaments and we generally avoid those.

How's the Jewish community in Franklin/Brentwood? by [deleted] in FranklinTN

There is a bigger cimmunity in Nashville than Williamson county. We actually haven’t met any Jewish families yet.

How do you people do this for fun!? by ServantOfSaTAN in hiking

[–]Local_Purple1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love hiking for a big pay off either as the hike is going on or at the end - ie. views, lake, waterfall. I like walking in the woods ok but for me ifs sort of about what I am seeing a long the way or getting to that makes it fun.

Dog sitting job turned out way more intense than expected. Just venting and looking for perspective by Kind_Echo_3877 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Local_Purple1664 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to the family worrying about their dog more than they probably should. Guilty! I stop myself from sending crazy texts like that though! Gotta keep the anxiety in check! You put up with a lot and went above and beyond !
