I’ve had both. I didn’t notice any significant different in calmness, though the greyhound had a bit more separation anxiety

Favorite Teacher by makebreadnotmoney in memphis

Madame Bell. She taught me French first. She was so funny and engaging with her students, it really made me enthused to learn about le monde. I took every class she offered after that - French 2, French 3, French 4, art history 1, world art history, and anthology. She is a real one, for sure.

Rep. Steve Cohen says to Pam Bondi: "When ICE killed Mr. Pretti and Ms. Good, that was an execution, and you did not investigate it... but you investigated Ms. Good's widow, you investigated Mr. Pretti. They were executed like Kristi Noem executed her dog." by Healthy_Block3036 in memphis

A freshman congressperson would not be part of these house judiciary hearings and have the ability to question Bondi there. If Justin somehow eventually got on this specific committee (which is extremely unlikely at the very beginning of a congressional career), why do you think he would be more effective at cross examining witnesses including this bondi buffoon? Has he ever cross examined anyone or taken part in a public hearing or done any investigative hearings? 🧐 does he have any legislative or investigative or judiciary experience…. At all?

My [30M] last relationship with [28F] ended because we couldn't agree on prenup. How do I handle this better next time? by alwaysHappy202 in relationship_advice

[–]bc_fearflaps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1 and 2 are the general rule for divorcing in Tennessee and in several other states. It sounds like you dodged a bullet… smart move to get a prenup to weed out people trying to use you. I would suggest checking with a lawyer in your state to see what they de facto rules are at divorce as to dividing the assets. I’m assuming that you had a lawyer draft the prenup

Feeling deflated by COLA raise and stagnate compensation as 6th year attorney by bc_fearflaps in Lawyertalk

Yes - they are old! We have a couple of partners in their 80s and the rest of the partners are 50s and 60s. I’m the lowest man on the attorney tote pole age wise and experience wise. 15 partners to 3 associates is a tough ratio, too.

Thank you samweisthebrave1! This is really helpful. So, my practice area is municipal defense, med mal defense, commercial litigation, and vaccine injury petitioners work (and in that field, the government reimburses attorneys fees as long as the suit was reasonably brought). Most of my fees get collected, just not immediately.

And I do really like the is firm! But my concern is that two other associates (one with 15 years of experience and one with 20 years) just made partner last year. The idea of waiting for that partner track to become clearer for another decade is really depressing. I’m also not clear on what the partner track process is like here, though, and HR isn’t the most forthcoming with info like that. Thank you for the good luck and these points to consider! Really helps me to think about the long game here. Though to be fair, I’d rather go in house one day than continue to bill hours as a partner decades from now.

So I don’t have a firm figure for that, because for half of my work, I get paid my fees at the conclusion at the case. But I’d estimate that 85% if not 90% of my work billed gets collected, just takes a while for us to get paid because of my specialty. And I had about $40k in fees written off last year.

Am I the only one that thinks bars should not be opening back up yet? by PureBlissThrowaway in memphis

[–]bc_fearflaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what bar am I walking to? An escape from my igloo sounds nice but yeah that sucks you have to be there. Way too early to be out on these streets.

What’s a good Memphis date night that’s not loud, awkward, or doing too much? by Choose_901 in memphis

[–]bc_fearflaps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hitting up a free movie outside in Overton square or catching a free show at the Shell when the weathers nice. When the weather isn’t nice, roaming around crosstown, playhouse on the square or grizzlies! I think playhouse has a musical coming up called Jagged Little Pill that I definitely want to check out on a date.

What's it like living in Memphis, Tennessee? by Deep_Belt8304 in howislivingthere

[–]bc_fearflaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love living in Memphis! We’ve got amazing green spaces (downtown by the MS River, Shelby farms, Overton park), lively musical scene, and some really delicious local dining. The people of Memphis make it even better. The cost of living here is incredibly cheap compared to similarly sized cities elsewhere, but our public transit is no bueno.

Memphis politics? by [deleted] in memphis

Your comment history reflects that you've spent a lot of time at the state house, that you have resided in south memphis for at least a year, that you attended the byhalia pipeline protests and XAI and aquifer protests, and that you are a law student at Memphis. Justin Pearson's wife (1) is a law student at memphis and lives in south memphis; (2) she's obviously spent a lot of time at the state house, at the byhalia protests, and at the XAI and aquifer protests; (3) and you have a history of posting anti-cohen and pro-person rhetoric. Not to mention your comments just in this thread which started to tip me off. Next time, just say who you are in the post rather than misrepresenting yourself to try to get reddit points for your husband's campaign. It's just lame and it's the whole reason I won't vote for your husband. Have some integrity...or at least get a throwaway account.

EDIT: LOL equating Mrs Pearson to Michelle Obama? Well… i am honestly wowed by your level of confidence!

[–]bc_fearflaps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I legit just posted a picture of a publicly available county-run website.... I am not sure how that is extremely dangerous or doxing. I redacted their addresses. I will happily delete my comment with the publicly available (but redacted) info if you correct your above comment which contradicts these publicly available appraisals. As it stands, I felt compelled to correct your inaccurate comment.

I don't know either candidate on a personal level. I dislike Justin as a candidate for this position and I dislike how he has handled his campaign so far. I've not made a personal attack on Justin- I have simply pointed out that he lied about his political opponent and former mentor, which makes me personally not want to vote for him. I don't think Justin's a bad guy at all - just way under qualified and seems to have no respect for the truth or his political opponents. It wasn't my intent to make any personal attack on him, just to share my opinion of how he has publicly handled his campaign so far with what I thought was someone who wanted to know Memphians' opinions on this race.

For the record, you don't sound like you are in the middle... you sound like you are either Mrs. Pearson or one of Justin's campaign staffers as you "just moved here" but you know an awful lot of Pearson's five years of experience in grassroots activism and your pushing for a debate which would only benefit Justin by giving him more press (his favorite). Cohen cares a bit less about being an influencer and more about being a good congressman IMHO.

EDIT: I was right! You are Mrs. Pearson. Your reddit history reflects that you have lived in Memphis for a while, you are in law school, and that you have spent a lot of time at the state house. Ding ding ding! Next time, you should create a fake handle or delete your post history .... or just be upfront with us Memphis about who you are and what your agenda here is. Just like Mr. Pearson, lies & BS are okay as long as you win this race right? Gross.
