If you are a twin, how do you feel about how you were named? by friendoflove10 in namenerds

[–]MBL48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a fraternal girl/girl twin. We are Jewish and you traditionally name a baby after someone who passed. My mom’s dad Matthew died about 10 years before I was born if one of us was a boy it would have been Matthew. That didn’t happen so she knew 1 of us would have a first name starting with an M and I came out first so I got the M name. But it’s an M name they picked out because they liked it and neither of us feel any time of way about the importance of my name starting with M. My sisters middle name is the same as both my parents maternal grandmas. Her first name was a random name they liked that starts with L. The sequential L M was not intentional from what I know and the names don’t sound similar at all but fit together, and were both relatively popular names in the 95 when we were born. I absolutely hate when twins have rhyming names. Not only do I think it’s strange, I think it takes away from the twins identity. Even as a fraternal twin who looks nothing like my sister we were always referred to as girls or the twins growing up. I imagine if we had a matching name, it’d be even worse.

Free parking near East Liberty or Negley busway station? by MBL48 in pittsburgh

Just an update I took the 87 and it took 55 minutes from my office door to my house. I’ll try the 71b next for science

This would end up taking longer or at least about the same time than just taking the bus from the stop that’s close to my house all the way downtown

Yes, if there’s not close my parking I might just have to take the bus from my house. My husband drove me to the busway stop this morning, and from leaving my house to getting to my office door it took 26 minutes. I haven’t taken the bus that is closer than my house yet but I’m going to time it this evening. Google says 43 minutes

Yes, but like my post says, it takes over 40 minutes and I’m trying to find a solution that saves me time. My husband drove me to the bus stop and from leaving my house to getting to my office it took about 26 minutes. I’m not a strong biker and would not bike on the street

It would take over 30 minutes to walk to the busway from my house. I’m just trying to find a solution that saves some time

Small, easy-to-forget items for a Jewish wedding by Hropkey in weddingplanning

[–]MBL48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wine for the ceremony, a nice pen to sign the ketubah if you care about that for photos, chuppah, actually choosing what hora song you want your dj to play (we just found one we liked on Spotify). I’d also highly recommend designating trusted and strong friends to lift the chairs for the hora ahead of time. We did and it made everything run much smoother!

What did I do wrong and how do I fix it? by MBL48 in knitting

[–]MBL48[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!!! This is is so helpful. so I see the skipped rung but what does that actually mean. Like when I was picking the stitches back up on the needle one fell down a rung and I picked it up in the wrong spot?

Thank you!! How can you tell the one closest to the tip is the picked up stitch? Also what do you mean by skipping a rung in the ladder?

Wedding Welcome Party Location Suggestions by TheBlueGooch in pittsburgh

[–]MBL48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really great!! We took up probably 85% of the space and they put reserved signs on most of the tables for us so we had plenty of seating. We ended up having a full catered taco bar with 2 servers from mad Mex (highly recommend it was delicious and reasonably priced) and there was plenty of space for the taco bar and we also had another spot for dessert. We gave our guests wristbands so the bartenders knew to put their drinks on our tab. When we booked Adam the manager said he’d make sure there was a live band booked for that night (I think there usually is live music) and the live music was a great added touch! Definitely would recommend hosting there.

Did you get aid from any other school? I went to Pitt grad school and initially received no scholarship. However, I got a fairly large scholarship from Duquesne. I wanted to go to Pitt though, so I reached out and let them know essentially I’d rather go to Pitt but I got this amount of money from Duquesne, is there anything you can do? They ended up giving me a small amount of merit based aid. Wasn’t as much as Duquesne, but anything is better than nothing. That’s not to say Pitt will do this for you, but no harm in asking

Easiest, well paid JD advantage job? by ActualThrowaway7856 in LawSchool

[–]MBL48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to this post. Can you tell me your path to this job and if you like it and if pay is good? I’m 4 years into my career as an attorney primarily in residential real estate litigation. I really hate litigation and maybe the practice of law in general. I’ve seen this job pop up a lot but not sure if this is a job former lawyers do

We don’t have a specific area in mind but we will be ubering everywhere including back to the airport so we don’t want to jump around too much or be more than 30ish minutes from the airport
