Our dd recently got braces and she's shocked us all with how conscientious she is. We were really concerned going into it, and she's more than risen to the occasion. Just wanted to through out a positive experience for you!

We've used Gildan for the unisex shirts and I think another brand for the women's/girls'. Our printer helped us match the colors and the shirts were inexpensive. There were some colors that matched but not all. The girls shirts were fitted and really nice. I know it wasn't bella, but bella is another brand that makes girls shirts.

In order to meet those early deadlines, should we be asking for LOR now? Thanks!

Thank you all for posting. I'm a year closer than Evanthe with a junior this year, and I am floundering. I appreciate all the info you all through out here so I can soak it up!

The student receives a booklet of stickers with their AP number for that year on them. They use the stickers on the exam book and answer sheets. If your student needs to switch schools for an exam, they need to take the booklet with them, as they’ll need the stickers.

I’m on my phone so will be brief. My dd took AP Environmental with Molly Olson and really enjoyed it. It stands as one of her favorites and she’s taken 10 now. She said that Mrs Olson was very organized, timely and clear. The workload wasn’t tremendous, but she isn’t available tight now to ask. I can let you know when I speak with her later. I think I probably have it in a prior post. It was one of her first AP classes, and she did well. I think a seasoned AP student would definitely find it manageable. I think there was a post not too long ago that was less than stellar for Dan Burns. We decided to go with Julia Reed as a result.

How do you filter the schools that will award merit aid to a high performing student?

Not a list, but I wanted to recommend including a book like The Auschwitz Escape. I had read many books about the Holocaust and never realized that there were some who escaped and the reception they received when they explained what they had experienced.

I agree with most of you. My first instinct was that I already have done a lot of this as a private tutor just assuming that was part of the job of making the child successful. I think that if it's helpful to the child/student it isn't spoiling them. I think a lot of the younger kids who need tutors need them for emotional issues as much as academic issues. Often the emotional impacts the ability of the child to access their academic gifts. I don't think that all parents are created equal, and I sincerely admire any parent who tries to meet the needs of their child when they can't. Quite honestly, I think much of tutoring is helping the child to get past emotional stumbling blocks. You can need help and still have grit. I know I do!

We have 4 cats and took on a relative's cat about 6 months ago, bringing our total to 5 cats. The new guy didn't have a problem using a litter box before coming to us. We tried to keep him sequestered away from the other 4 but he broke out every night. We had put a litter pan in that room which he used. Once we gave up on keeping him separate, he began using the litter boxes downstairs (finished basement). We eventually caught on that at least one of our cats were bullying him and so he didn't want to go downstairs to use the litter and had begun finding hiding places to go up here. For the past month or so, we carry him downstairs periodically, and he uses one of the pans but not the same pan that he was using up here. We have 4 pans and all 5 cats are doing their thing in that one pan where he goes downstairs. So, 3 basically unused litter boxes and one full one. And, this is not the one that he was using up here and which I imagine they chose to use at times. What is this?! And, of course, he walks away if it isn't perfectly clean. How do I get them to use the other pans? Or do I just give up and clean litter all day long?

Maybe she doesn't like the flavor and is striking?

I read a book just a few years ago written by an orthodox woman who left her community in New York. The education that she described receiving was pretty terrible. I don't remember the details but from my recollection, her education sounded barely better than his. I can't remember the name of the book and am not turning it up while searching.

Me, too!

I don't have any information on Melissa Barnes, but I know that many have liked Lilli Serbicki who used to teach Lang at PA Homeschoolers and then was teaching with Debra Bell, I believe. She still teaches Lit at PA Homeschoolers.

Thank you! I'll let her know!

She gave him the money when she moved into hud housing - definitely not before the 5 years. Provided she wants recourse, which she may or may not follow through with, where would she go?

The question isn’t if fraud was committed. The son did this to shelter the money in the most positive interpretation or to steal it in the most negative. Im asking if the woman has legal recourse to get it back even if it all goes to HUD. She feels things should be done legally and also believes she can will this money to her grandchildren. I think the money is his now unless he willingly parts with it and he isn’t. And, her will won’t cover money that is in his name. He’ll just say it’s his.

Can he take it in June this year?

We heard her speaking with him on the phone saying that she wanted him to tell her how much money she had since he said he was investing it for her and that she wanted access to it. He was very evasive and said he didn’t think it was a good idea to give her access to it now. This was right after he tried to have her qualify for Medicaid against her wishes. He definitely didn’t deny the money was hers. Also said he was holding it for when she would need it.

Thank you. That's the clear answer I was looking for.

The question is, "does the woman have any recourse to access the money that the son is holding?" My feeling is that the only recourse she has would be going to the police and explaining that she had been part of the fraud with her son. She could then pay the penalties she would be assessed. However, I don't see the son readily admitting it to the police. I don't see how she could prove it unless the son confessed, and I can't imagine that. We have heard her discuss it with him, but I don't see that as standing up as proof.

I had the same problem and emailed WTM for help. They fixed my situation right away :)

Can the woman prove anything? She's saying that she would hand it over if that's what should be done. I just don't see how anything can be proven.

Elderly woman sold her house and gave her son a large portion of the proceeds to keep for her. He had her sign a paper saying that she is repaying a loan that, of course, never existed. She enters into government subsidized housing based on her assets which presumably don't include the money that her son is holding. Years pass and elderly woman lives very close to the poverty line the whole time. She has very little food, clothing is in disrepair, etc. Son rarely visits but also has access to her checking account with her money she gets from social security, etc. Son and daughter try to have the woman declared as needing 24 hour care and keep her in a rehabilitation spending down the money that she does have so she can go onto medicaid. The elderly woman involves others to leave the rehab and state social worker and rehab social worker note that the daughter seems interested in the woman's money (not the money the son is holding but the money in the bank account). Elderly woman repeatedly talks about how her son will not give her access to the money that he's holding for her as he just puts her off. She's convinced she can will that money to her grandchildren when she dies. I tried explaining that the money is gone. If the son has it, he has no legal responsibility to hand it over to anyone. She acknowledges also that she probably is supposed to hand the money over to the government, as part of a spend down. Son is also the President of a bank. She thinks that what he's done must be legal because he's "the president of the bank". Please tell me I'm not insane. The money now belongs to the son and she has no claim to it, correct? And, nothing can be proven against the President of the bank, right?
