Stride Rite used to carry pink Mary Jane style shoes that my girls liked

Carlsbad Caverns in NM. Durango and Pagosa Springs Co are small, quaint towns. Mesa Verde National Park in CO was fun. The actual '4 corners' was not worth the time or money to see.

My inhaler is $350 with insurance, so I use goodrx and it is about $50 a month.

I know lots of kids who only apply to the most expensive college in my state. It is $60K a year for tuition, fees and housing. You are required to live on campus the first 2 years.

A hoe works great for rattlers. Diatomaceous Earth for the scorpions. I hate scorpions. Hate them.

None so far. Two currently in college. One got a $12,000 per year scholarship for academics and we had prepaid tuition for our kids 15 years ago so she is all set. She works for spending money. 2nd kiddo is using prepaid tuition and splits housing costs with us. Her dorm housing is about $5000 per semester, so we can pay that outright. She pays her part with scholarships. We will need to start the process again soon for the next kid. We have committed to getting them through undergrad debt free, so far it is going ok. We have found that homeschooling creates great opportunities for academic scholarships at universities really like, so that has worked out really well for us

Can she move outside?

No. All 20 years of Amazon history is on there. I have archived a couple of things that were gifts that I didn't want my spouse to see

Yep. We occasionally have students who join our homeschool group and attempt to take classes as a junior or senior. They are very behind and didn't even know it. My kids' professors always pull them aside and ask where they went to school.

Once they start their major classes, the courses have been good. But those basics are truly awful. The thing I'm finding most concerning is that peers and roommates coming out of public school are finding the courses challenging. I've had at least 10 college students tell me that they made A's in high school but can't pass college algebra and have taken it two or three times. At first I thought it was an issue of just not going to class, but it's like they didn't learn anything in school prior to college. I think it's one of the reasons why the basics are so abysmal, the kids can't do them.

My college students have found that their two English courses have been extremely poor quality. Last year, my second child had an English class that was supposed to be rhetoric and composition. She watched three movies and wrote one expository paper. That's it. There was no actual instruction on different styles of writing. We have consistently found that the classes my kids take it home or through our local homeschool group are far superior to anything they get in with the college basics. It's really appalling to pay $1,000 for a class when it's trash. With this in mind my next kids will do CLEP in addition to dual credit.

No, that is normal maintenance. Homeowners insurance covers things like broken pipes that flood the house or hail punching through your windows or roof.

I definitely think restructuring the interest. I don't think there should be compounded interest at all. Aside from that, I would love to somehow impress upon high schoolers the incredible burden that college debt can be. I currently have two students in college. We saved in such a way that we could pay their tuition. They got enough academic scholarships to pay for their housing. If the scholarships had not happened, then they would have lived at home and either done 2 years at a local community college or online. After that they would have transferred to their four-year university and worked to pay for housing. We have impressed upon them the goal of graduating with a bachelor's debt-free, and taking on as little debt as possible for additional graduate degrees. Since I have two in college, I have met dozens of college students over the last 3 years and the vast majority are taking out huge amounts of student loans. Dorm housing plus 15 semester hours is roughly $12,000 a semester. These kids are graduating almost $100,000 in debt with degrees in psychology and no idea what they want to do or how to even get a job that makes much more than minimum wage. I like the idea of very reduced cost community college, something like $100 a class along with really encouraging kids in high school to take advantage of a program like that. For reference, I finished a bachelor's and master's degree in the mid '90s with about $20,000 in loans. At that time school was much less expensive, and I was able to work and pay for 100% of my living expenses and only took out loans for tuition. Once I got out of school, I worked two jobs and paid off the loans in a couple of years. Taking out loans for tuition only at the state 4 year school would be about $50,000 now.

It is definitely a labor of love.

Catsite.com. will have the best advice. I use KMS, brand kitten milk replacer. You can get it at local feed stores or pet stores. I like the syringe style of bottle when they're little, it keeps them from aspirating. I feed bottle babies every 2 to 3 hours, and follow with gauze patting n their bottom. I keep bottle babies in a box with a heating pad on the lowest setting. 2 hours after a feeding I picked them back up and pat bottom again so they will go potty.

Absolutely

I'm so sorry. Loosing a pet is so incredibly difficult.

I haven't called anyone an ignoramus. And I don't have an argument. I do however, teach shooting classes weekly primarily to well educated women and 50% of each class believes that when you pull the trigger of a gun, it continually fires bullets until you take your finger off the trigger. I'm speaking as a professional who trains in the area of guns. Comments I have seen repeatedly on this forum are consistent with people not understanding how semi automatic weapons work.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with you.

Speed of semiautomatic guns, which was the reference, is all up the the person holding the gun. Magazine capacity is a whole other conversation and not something I brought up. In watching the video, It sounds like less than five shots was fired each time, with plenty of time to reload. In this particular incident, magazine capacity didn't play a role although it certainly has in the past.

Most standard handguns hold 10-15 rounds. Shotguns 3-5. Revolvers 6.

What I said was that the gun that the police officer used and that they assailant used were both essentially the same and that they are semi-automatic firearms. Semi-automatic means that you pull the trigger and a single shot is fired. Many, many people are under the misconception that it's the gun that is shooting fast. Or that the trigger is pulled and dozens of bullets come out. When in reality it is the assailant who is pulling the trigger quickly. Yes, there are a wide variety of firearms out there including revolvers that have to be cocked after every shot. But the vast majority of firearms that are sold today are semi-automatic. Revolvers, especially single stage, are not common.

Thanks for posting. The type of gun that both the police officer used and the assailant used were essentially the same. You pull the trigger and a shot is fired. It's how all guns work. There really isn't a ' gun that can fire that many shots' it's more that the assailant was able to find victims and pull the trigger relatively quickly. The cop did a great job. As he was running past the moving cars I was wishing someone would get out of their vehicle and hand it over to him.

I worked for two different multi-million dollar enterprises and both did shared hotel rooms (same gender). My husband currently works for a multi -million-dollar enterprise with national offices and a global presence, and they also do shared rooms at conferences. So it may not be common in your experience, but it's extremely prevalent in mine. And definitely not a big deal.
