Man, if I could get to 208 I'd run naked through the streets.

As they say, I've taken *ts bigger than her. ;)

And as for me, I'm 235ish and need to hit the gym one of these decades. :o

I'm with FM on this. That was reason #2 I didn't join a sorority.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 100: This Poll Sucks

At the start of my senior year in HS I weighed about 205 and was only 5'-6". By the time I graduated I was 5'-10" and 160. I basically stayed between 160 and 185 (usually 175-180) over the last 30-something years.

When I was diagnosed with empysema in Nov 08 I was put on prednisone ('roids) for 2 weeks. One of the side effects was increased appetite... well, by February of last year I was up to 200 (Thanksgiving of 08 I sat and had 5 helpings of everything while the family just sat there in amazement of what they were witnessing). Combine that with the inability to do any strenuos activity and I'm now at around 205-ish, and it's all on my waist.

I do not like it in the least, but since I can't really exercise there isn't much I can do (I have trouble climbing a flight of stairs). I try to watch my diet, but that gets real boring. The doctor thinks I might be able to try swimming so I'm looking at joining the new local YMCA when it opens this spring.

Reason #1 was?
(Other than the fact that sororities at NMU can't have houses, because that'd be considered a brothel)
(and no, I'm not kidding, 'diva can back me up on that one, I'm pretty sure)

She's right on that. Any house with more than 4 female occupants is considered a brothel according to the City of Marquette. Reason #1 was my general distaste for what I've seen of NMU's sororities. The Greek life here is a joke, though the fraternities have improved a bit.

Sucks if a husband and wife have quadruplet girls.

Since I really don't want to do actual work, I went to the city of Marquette's website and found their zoning laws in the city ordinances section. At one point they specifically refer to how many parking spaces fraternities/sororities need to provide per for each capacity occupant. I doubt they would bother to do that if sororities were banned. The fail is still on you.

That doesn't change the fact that there are no sorority houses in Marquette. However, given the average intelligence level of the average NMU sorostitute, this might be for their own safety.

A-HEM.

I'm looking at the same site, and while I haven't found a limit on numbers of women, there are restrictions on "rooming houses" (which is a heading under which fraternity and sorority houses fall):

(13) Rooming Houses (RM)
a. Shall have a manger residing on the premises.
b. Shall comply with the yard requirements for duplexes.
c. Shall be inspected and licensed on a yearly basis, in compliance with the Property Maintenance Code and the City Business license section of the City Code.
d. One off-street parking space shall be provided for each occupant and the manager.
e. No rooming house shall be located within 500 feet of another rooming house.
f. Rooming houses shall have an outdoor livability space ratio of at least 0.50.
g. Prior to application for zoning approval, the applicant shall meet with the Planning Department and is encouraged to inform the neighbors of plans for the rooming house.
h. Must be located on sites having at least 15,000 square feet and 100 feet of frontage.


So, they need to be on big lots, have a lot of parking... and need to leave their Christmas decorations up all year. ;)
