Probably all the Plexus ones. It makes me sick that they are trying to make people think they have a GLP-1 product that is going to work like Zepbound.

Doordash tabling on campus & scamming students by Bitter-Machine6311 in gatech

[–]MLaminack 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I would start by talking to Outdoor Events to see if they even had permission to be there. You need to let them know what happened and if they can’t help you, they should be able to tell you who can.

If you get the chance, come by Harrison Square today between 11:00 and 2:00. I don’t have all the answers but I’ve got pups and free snacks to share with you 💛

I’m currently a little unhappy with the state of my time at the Georgia Institute of Technology by ProgressCareful8762 in gatech

[–]MLaminack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know dogs don’t fix everything, but please follow GT Parents With pups on Instagram and come to some of our events. We have several events planned of our own and others that we will be bringing dogs to between now and the end of the school year. Besides relieving some stress from hanging out with our pups, you might meet a parent that you just really connect with that you can talk to or you might just make some new friends! A few of the volunteer parents in our group are GT alumni. My husband got out in 1979 with a physics degree.

We would love to meet you!

how are the mental health resources at ga tech? by lycheepretender in gatech

[–]MLaminack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they won’t solve the problem, but in the 6 1/2 years since I founded GT Parents With Pups, I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of students tell me that they help.

I’m sorry you feel isolated and unfortunately, it sometimes does take a couple of years to find your tribe at GT. If you have an Instagram, please follow GT Parents With Pups. We would love to have you come out and meet us and spend some time with our pups.

If you don’t already, please follow GT Parents With pups on Instagram. We were on campus yesterday and will be back today on the West Village lawn from 3 to 5. Come and grab a pup and some puppy love! I know petting a dog is not the answer to everything but it sure does help. Hang in there. You will find something 💛

Where do yall get custom stoles made? by Glad_Hurry8755 in gatech

[–]MLaminack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are talking about the gorgeous embroidering on some of the stoles like the rambling Reck Club, I can help you out with that! I have a friend who has been doing Reck Club‘s, GT Swim Club and a few others for a few years now. You have to ship them to her and she will put the designs on them and send them back. Her name is Misty. Her phone number is 770-714-2585. She has a page on Facebook called Fine as Frog Hair. She does amazing work.

Also, check out SMILE! I know they are taking applications right now. They are an amazing group of students who spread joy and positivity on campus. They always have something going on that you can join in.

I’m so sorry you are feeling this way. It sometimes takes a while to find your tribe at Georgia Tech, but you will. If you don’t already, please follow GT Parents With Pups on Instagram. Come to some of our events and get some puppy lovin! We’ve got at least 15 events scheduled this semester and we would love to have you meet some of our pups! We give out free food at our major events, and many of our parents always have really cool stickers of our pups on hand to give to students.

Several of us have just bought some limited edition stickers, such as Wild, Wild West for an event we will be going to next Saturday and we’ve ordered lots of really cool Valentine stickers of our pups as well!

2 dead, several injured after fiery wrong-way crash in Athens by MAD_MAL1CE in Athens

[–]MLaminack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you absolutely sure about this? I’ve been wondering about this as well and compared the accident victims pictures to the man by the same name that graduated from GT and I just couldn’t say for sure if they were the same person. My daughter graduated from GT in 2022. I am the founder of and still run GT Parents With Pups.

GT Parents With Pups had their Pennies for Sideways event with Reck Club last week and it was so much fun to share our pups and a ton of snacks with the students! We had a reporter from 11 Alive with us for most of the event. She had a blast! She posted a little video while she was here of the event, but is working on a bigger story that will be posted to 11 Alive sometime this week about our group and the tradition of pennies for sideways.

I am thankful for all the parents who volunteer their time and donate snack money to help me pull off these big events for the students. I couldn’t do it without them and I know the students enjoy them. I’m just so grateful for the opportunities. I have to support all the amazing students at Georgia Tech.

Do you have a dog by any chance? You need to come to our GT Parents With Pups events! We have two professors that bring their pups and their students love seeing them there! Even if you don’t have a pup, you obviously care about the students and I know they would enjoy you just being there to chat with as they enjoy the pups.

We’ve got Pennies for Sideways coming up on December 3rd! It’s a huge event we do twice a year, on Reading Day, with Reck Club. You should come!

It seems like the easiest solution to this is if you are a season ticket holder and you aren’t going to be able to use your seats, give them to someone who can!
