So excited you’re joining me and your aunts. I raised you right, my dear.
FUM!
Thank you, universe. Now let him get the job!
Thank you for a universe that allows me to afford to fly to visit my kid
I just can’t.
Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
I’m trying not to think about it.
1 yes that was an amazing recipe --just so good and my changes made it even better.
2 Amazon you are bestie friend and what bad mistake you made. 15 days for a delivery?
3 GF, so sorry you are ill. :( .
4 Dear H, is it not a very nice thing that I think about your mother, who you are so close to and I am so not
close to!. And I figure out that you Do need to visit her on your trip 2 hours from her.
So–just weird to me.
I’ll be thinking about all you lovely CC women taking a “walk” tomorrow.
Why do people insist on posting political comments on a helpful thread, even after being warned multiple times, so that the thread gets shut down. That thread would be very helpful today.
So here’s to schools that think they are better than they are and raise tuition and fees 8% every year but don’t raise merit (non need based) aid in 10 years. News flash: you are not getting my child , one of the brightest and warm hearted in the world. There are plenty of public colleges ranked way higher that are thrilled to get him. So go on and give yourselves more raises on your already bloated salaries. How you keep your not for profit rating is beyond me. You are going to regret your ways when the sheep stop sending their kids to your private ridiculous tuition hiked institution of higher learning. Oh and stick your merit offer where the sun doesn’t shine.
=D>
Only children have temper tantrums.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Another reminder that this thread is for venting only. Please don’t respond to any other posts. You can always send someone a message if you want to respond.
My vent concerns the lack of appreciation sometimes shown by the Original Poster or others in the “college admissions” or “chances” or “college admissions and selection” or “colleges and universities” threads (among others) who pose questions or request advice. When I and other posters respond with useful information and guidance --helpful advice–it is rude when the OP or other requesters of the info do not acknowledge our response with any “like” or “helpful” points. Receiving these “points” --or at least a “thanks” is our “non-monetary” remuneration for taking the time out of our busy lives to impart our knowledge and advice—that college consultants would charge an arm and a leg for–to help strangers (i.e., students and parents) on college confidential.
I felt heartbroken today to attend the memorial service of your son who played at our house when he was young and we were neighbors. But my heartbroken feelings don’t compare to the empathy I feel for your family - who have to bear the pain of burying your young son and brother. I truly, truly am thinking of you so, so much.
I kept waking up all night thinking of you leaving for the spring semester. Wish you didn’t have to go.
Hard to believe that when the semester ends you will be a rising senior.
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Closing this thread temporarily. We’re getting complaints about political posts. I deleted several. I don’t have time to babysit the thread tonight.
OK, I will try reopening the thread. Please refrain from political posts. Even when you “veil” them, they’re pretty obvious. Thanks!
