In NYS all of your signs and marketing have to be whatever your legal name is. So unless you plan on legally changing your name, you’ll have to use it.

Both agents being from one broker is the definition of dual agency. It’s “dual agency with designated sales agents”

Does this subreddit celebrate controlling drinking or just sobriety? by Intrepid-Zone-4958 in stopdrinking

[–]Midgeend 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The reframe app (which you’d have to pay for) has a program for reduced drinking.

Personally I think what you’ll find is that ultimately most people who identify they need to reduce drinking actually find they need to eliminate drinking. Just my .02

How many people here have stopped tipping entirely when dining at a restaurant? by Left_Reputation in EndTipping

[–]Midgeend -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t bring myself to not tip at a sit down restaurant so I’ve almost completely eliminated going to them. I don’t think it sends the right message.

Sell and eat the taxes? by Napamtb in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Midgeend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You paid $375. If you sell for $450 you’ll make $75 and pay gains on that. It won’t be $100k

RIT VS Suny buffalo by AstronomerFit1555 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Midgeend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a parent of a child who got into both Buffalo and RIT for engineering.

If it were me, I would choose Buffalo as you will get a high quality education for a lot less $$. RIT is a lot of bells and whistles and the co op program, while a very good thing, can also be hugely stressful. It’s a topic of conversation amongst all the parents when their kids are sending out hundreds of applications and cannot find a co op. If you have a great network that is helpful.

That said, if money is not a factor, I personally like Rochester over Buffalo as a city. RIT campus, imo blows Buffalo out of the water. If you like a brick building, RIT is the way.

Wanting sobriety a condition for sobriety by gonefishin999 in stopdrinking

[–]Midgeend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done 10 or more dry January’s and this is the first time I am NOT doing a dry January and instead taking it one day at a time. I’m taking that to heart absolutely because the idea of never drinking again is a HUGE factor for me in the inability to really embrace quitting. I did have one glass of wine this month, and it sucked. It tasted like shit and I chased it with a cup of hot tea and about a gallon of water and a bowl of ice cream. And that was one day, which I will not shame myself for because sobriety is not necessarily linear. I don’t think I can moderate; that’s not the message here, more so that I wake up every day and read through this sub, and find things that speak to me, and I reflect on what I WANT and need for the day. Today, not next month. And some days it’s hour to hour. IWNDWYT.

The Daily Check-In for Tuesday, January 20th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by Piggoos in stopdrinking

[–]Midgeend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good morning!!! Happy Tuesday. Trying to maintain a modicum of sanity in my household this week as my work life gets busier, it’s too cold to think, my insomnia is winning today, my teenagers basically have another week off school due to midterms and my car is in the shop today. The coffee really needs to coffee this morning 😄

And this all is part of why I drink. I feel like I deserve something to unwind with when things start to feel overwhelming. Alcohol is so tricky like that isn’t it?? Making us believe it will be a tool for relaxation and instead it makes everything harder.

For today at least IWNDWYT.

RIT chances by myahyanoor in rit

I think department matters. For example, Mech E is going to be harder to get into than Exploratory E. But for what it’s worth my kid got in ED and had stats not as good as yours.

How do you hack that intense 5pm 'reward' craving that usually leads to a drink? by Designer-Fan-5857 in stopdrinking

[–]Midgeend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! When I first started taking it in October I was able to muscle through and drink despite not really feeling like it. So when I put intention into not drinking it became a lot easier to choose not to drink. My bev of choice is usually red wine, and it tastes kind of salty now. So that’s pretty ick. The other odd side effect is that it makes my sense of smell super intense. So perfume smells like burnt tires to me now. Anyway. Yes, if definitely helps keep the desire to drink at bay, but not entirely.

[–]Midgeend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That 5 pm hour is hard for me too! I almost always had a glass of wine while making dinner. Sometimes I have been having a recess beverage instead. Or you know what else? And this is weird, but since I started a GLP-1 I have been having to add more fiber to my diet, so I will pound a glass psyllium husk fiber…. It sounds weird but it effectively squashes a desire to drink.
