That's not what happened

I'm sorry to hear that and i hope it gets better for you and your wife. It's not easy hitting those deductibles when one or both of you aren't able to work.

Facts. I had a major health issue essentially overnight, no long term disability but decent health insurance. Maxed out my deductible 2 consecutive years, was unable to work for 10 months. Still in medical debt with no savings almost 3 years later because of this setback. Hoping to get the debt paid off in the next year and start saving up again.

Same, I had to read up on it again.

Also, this was the first time parents were charged, as they purchased the gun for him.

Yea, it doesn't really matter if this was done because of a rivalry between schools or between fraternities. It's pretty fucked up regardless. Hopefully, they find the responsible parties and hold them accountable

Here's similar statement from an article I found.

Kennedy Thomason, a reporter for The O'Colly, told _WFAA that she speculates this to be a prank from a rival fraternity. She was first on the scene, and her pictures of the steer before it was hauled off have been widely shared.

"I can't confirm that, but from my own opinion, yeah, that's what I would say."_

The original statement I made originated from a local OSU podcast. I'm not sure where that was from and can't source it. __

Edit: For what it's worth "The O'Colly" looks like Oklahoma State's student newspaper?

I haven't seen anyone mention it in this thread, but speculation is this is a feud between two Oklahoma State fraternities. They have been placing dead animals on each other's property for months and this has nothing to do with the championship game. The longhorn apparently died on one of the students farms and they relocated it.

I can't confirm any of this, just what I read elsewhere.

I also got Boulder with top 3 of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Portugal. The Man, and Flatbush Zombies

We can't disappoint the stakeholders. Next 12 months needs to be hotter.

[–] Okkai@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

What a weird comment. They are not even remotely comparable.

Honestly, it was a bit of luck.

We live in a larger city in the the Midwest. Looked on indeed frequently and applied for a position at a privately owned - medium/large sized company that is headquartered in our city.

In terms of experience they were looking for 3 years of design and course curriculum. My wife had more of that, just in a different industry. Also required a bachelor's degree and she had a masters in education. A lot of overlap skills but different titles.

It also helped that her hiring manager and two peers on the team were former teachers as well. Luck was definitely involved.

They did request sample work before one of her interviews. She YouTubed a walkthrough on how to use a free instructional design platform and threw something together. A lot of the skills and platform knowledge she has now was self taught through Google and YouTube.

Good luck to you and your wife. Teaching is a challenging career.
