<p>WOO HOO!!! Congrats to jym’s son on his marvelous PSAT score!!!
WAY TO GO, KIDDO!!!</p>
<p>Congrats on the PSAT! That’s always a relief to know you’ve leaped that bar.</p>
<p>But the server keeps going down, and I am constantly wondering if you guys are partying without me. <em>Whines</em></p>
<p>We never party without you. You are here whether you know it or not. And now. to jymsboy’s PSAT’s, I would like to raise a toast. Fortunately, I can do it in her own words from the Christmas tree thread.</p>
<p>
Let’s hear it for the class acts!!!</p>
<p>Thanks alumother! :D</p>
<p>And thanks, mommusic, berurah, sybbie and all! Lots of celebrating in here today! Lets hope the server stays up so the other “server” can keep the drinks coming! We sould be hearing in here from lots of ED folks celebrating (hopefully) today as well!</p>
<p>Hey, Aluson just called with his PSATs too. SUCH a happy sound to his voice. Nice scores. Celebrating - joining in with you all. Hooyah for the slackers with the high test scores:).</p>
<p>And for those of you who have followed this saga, he did a little better than Alu D. Which, BTW, Alu D will be happy about. Good outcome all around.</p>
<p>Great, great news alumother!!! Slackerboys unite!!!
Is there an up-to-date list of the schools that offer NM money, and how much? The Schools that offer merit aid" thread is for all merit $$. Is there one specifically for NM $$??</p>
<p>This is the Alley. We don’t know anything about money here:). Frankly, I had never thought about $$$ for NMF. Perhaps I should, given the way I seem to be virtually drinking my life way in here…</p>
<p>Server still seems to be on drugs, but congrats all around!</p>
<p>Are there virtual costs for drinks? Even so, will buy everyone a round. Congrats on the PSAT scores.</p>
<p>Thanks, mathmom!! And you mean I wasn’t supposed to pour that keg of beer into the server for all to share?? :)</p>
<p>CONGRATS to ALUSON on his PSAT SCORE!!! WAY TO GO!!!
Awwwwwwwww, Alu…how WONDERFUL!! I’m really happy for y’all! :)</p>
<p>~berurah</p>
<p>jym626 & Alumother congrats on the PSATs, I have been trying to log on for ages but CC has been all tied up…</p>
<p>Ummm, I am so excited, mystified, happy DD got in to Harvard! (The Marmots must love me) Anyway…I toss the crown and sceptre into the air and hopefully another lucky parent will catch them as they tumble down in the misty air of SA.</p>
<p>Huge Bottles of Bubbly for Everyone… :)…Thank you everyone for helping to keep me sane over this last year and for understanding, well everything :D</p>
<p>PS last night the errant trampoline blew from the side to the back of the property knocking out another fence !</p>
<p>Holy Cow Bhappymom!!! What INCREDIBLE NEWS!!! (I’d do all the big letters and fonts If I dared try to figure out how) . That just WONDERFUL!!! Your post is so subdued and understated. I hope you are currently sitting on your rooftop with your laptop as you read this, shouting out simultaneously for ALL to hear!!!</p>
<p>Congrats BHappyMom! No mean feat these days!</p>
<p>BHappyMom you little devil you! Never even told your drinking buddies in here that D had applied. That D was even old enough!</p>
<p>If your D is the kind of friend of the Funny Fairy that you are I am in no way surprised. However, it wasn’t the marmots. We did not point out that the big posts bring good fortune, because we aim for serendipity. It was your 5,000th post crown. It came with a Get Into Harvard Free card:).</p>
<p>Serendipities for all!! There must be a drink named Serendipity!</p>
<p><em>rushes off to scour the Internet for recipes, leaving trails of good will and happy feelings for BHappyMom’s D</em></p>
<p>TSFS got a stellar PSAT (for him, no ritalin: 193). I am on the floor, just pour booze into my open mouth.</p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>Watch out, SBmom! Incoming!</p>
<p>Just came back from picking up DD from her week-long retreat. No phone, no ipod, no car…she didn’t miss any of it. In fact, she didn’t want the phone back right away (but I just realized she’s on it now).</p>
<p>Now I’ve got massive amounts of laundry to do. Anybody want to buy me a drink? I need it!</p>

<p>Translation: Wait, I’m on this side:). SBMom, that S stands for sophomore. That is a great sophomore score for anyone. Let’s hear it for the boys who drive us crazy!!!</p>
<p>And for our daughters far away. My D just found out she is delayed in Newark two hours and won’t be back until after 1am tonight. Send out the marmots to bring her home safely. I’m not joking. I’m terrified of flying and every time she gets on an airplane I tremble.</p>
