Do you think the door isn't keeping the connection that it needs to stay closed? We had this issue with a dryer, so we used a child-sized crutch we owned to hold it in place. I think our laundry room was wider than yours, so you may be able to use something shorter. We angled the crutch between the dryer door and the cabinet that was across the walkway from it. Without it, the dryer thought the door wasn't closed and wouldn't run/keep running.

Check walmart.com. They sell Frigidaire knobs for around $10. Not sure if have your model. We have used a wrench in past.

Flint Institute of Arts/Waiting Auditorium has tickets on the end of row with a seat next to it for Sunday show in Orchestra section. Or at least that is what the website shows me right now. Good luck.

I stumbled upon this old thread when looking at open tabs on my phone. I hope the OP’s son is having a wonderful freshman year exactly where he wanted to go. I am responding to this old post, because I know people search for old posts when researching colleges and making decisions. I have two college grads who are software engineers, and their experience is completely different from what this post says. They both had great tests scores and grades in high school, but both knew where they wanted to go before senior year. Both went to a top 100 public university that they knew before applying would accept them with scholarships. Between them, they have worked for/interned for or been offered jobs/internships with all but one of the FAANG companies even though their university is far from Silicon Valley and offers merit scholarships. The oldest has been promoted 3 times in 5 years with a FAANG company. The younger was working with a startup in college and did not intern like the oldest. Covid changed things with the startup, so this one ended up working for a fortune 50 company for a 1-1/2 years before being hired by a FAANG company and has had glowing reviews in the first year. There has been talk of an upcoming promotion. Both survived well-publicized layoffs at their companies. Both have college friends working at FAANG companies. Older alums from their top 100 college are/were in the c-suites at FAANG companies. So, our experience has been different from that of the previous poster. Yes, it would have been easy to for my kids to pay back 40,000 in debt, but they knew there was no reason to take on debt to work for big tech companies.

My oldest planned to be a co-op student and only applied to schools with co-op programs, including at least one school with a mandatory co-op. My student chose to attend a non-mandatory co-op school, and interviewed for co-op placement freshman year. Before accepting an offer, they decided they wanted the freedom to intern with different companies instead of just one. They graduated with 3 internships, including an international one, and went to work for one after graduation.

What did your son decide? I know students who have done something similar at a nearby college, and they were glad they did.

Good luck with the class and the stipend. Hopefully the casino job will come through. Construction skills are always great to have even if you do not work in the industry.

I’m sorry. When does the construction class start?

Good luck at the interview.

I’m sorry to hear about the day in court. I know this answer would not have occurred to me when the person asked “how many interviews I’d gone on in the past 30 day,” The easy answer to that question would be to simply say, “every interview I have been offered since I learned my children had moved 4 hours away from my home.” (If relevant I would add that pay equal to the job I had then.)

Good luck with court tomorrow.

One of mine had a roommate who was in Army ROTC all 4 years. I do not remember any issues. This student came from an Army family and was aware of/prepared for the service commitment after college. According to the AFROTC webpage, you can start ROTC after you start college. “If you’re already in college, it’s not too late to experience the benefits of joining Air Force ROTC. In order to be eligible, you must fulfill all requirements and must have completed at least one term as a full-time student.” I wonder if opportunities are school specific, because the first two hits for my search were for specific college AFROTC programs and both mentioned needing to have x years of college left. One of the college mentioned two years and the other said contact them to check eligibility. One of my college roommates married someone in AFROTC our senior year, and their kids are eligible for in-state tuition at our college (and others in that state) because that is where he was commissioned. (The right words aren’t coming to me this morning, but that is what it means.)

I completely understand where you are coming from, but I agree with everyone saying you should not give him (more) power over your life. While reading replies, something started nagging me and I finally realized it was the old saying that one should never make the first offer in a negotiation. (The explanation is below.) After reading your thoughts, the replies and the explanation below, I have a suggestion. He most likely isn’t going to agree to your suggestions no matter what. So, in your draft/proposal, you simply say kids will be raised Catholic. That is the only thing you put in your proposal about religion, and it will force him to define what raised Catholic means to him. When he wants language saying the kids will attend mass every week, you can counter with kids will be given opportunity to attend mass. If it’s kids will be confirmed, you counter with mother will give kids the option to participate in confirmation. Same thing for confession. (If he comes back again proposing, a high number on these things, you then go with the numbers others suggest here that are vague and/or low.) The wording you start with can definitely be different than my quick suggestion, but you want it to be vague enough that he will be forced to be the one to make the the actual first specific proposal. Good luck; stay strong. This is based on: The 5 rules for a good negotiation 1) Never speak first. This is perhaps the most well known of negotiating tactics, if you can, have the other guy go first. Those who would advise a more aggressive and manipulative strategy will say that it’s a good power play. The truth is a bit more mundane and obvious, if the guy is willing to sell you the thingy for £10 but you open by offering £15, you just shot yourself in the foot. Though, the rule should really be “don’t make the first offer” rather than don’t speak first; speaking first is your opportunity to prompt them to make the first offer (making it very tricky for them to get you to do so). A simple “How much do you want for it?” or “What time were you thinking?” will work wonders. So speak first, offer second

I don’t know much about tip etiquette for salon owners. In your situation, I would simply say, “I’m not sure if I’m to tip since you are now a salon owner. However, I know opening your own business is expensive, so I would like to tip/continue to tip to support you/the business/whatever.

I have not uploaded anything into the Common App, but I think a notarized document would work just the same as anything else that needed to be scanned & uploaded into an application. I know the original notary seal itself is raised, but the notary seal & signature are still visible on a copy. So, they would be seen on an uploaded document.

The MBA is included in the “free” masters program. A master’s in finance, accounting and some others are 50% off. I have no affiliation with Clark; I just looked it up after reading previous posts. It looks like a MBA would cost about $2,000 plus books for the 1-year program. https://catalog.clarku.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=29&poid=5624&returnto=2504

Many (most??) colleges do not require students to apply to a CS program. Before worrying too much about this issue, look into your state schools and other schools your kid may want to attend. Look for programs for your kid to show programming skills in competitions, classes and by volunteering. Yes to this. You do not need to go to a “reach school” to be successful in computer science. I remember this article from a few years ago about an Iowa State student in computer science that addresses that myth. (I have multiple family members and friends who graduated from different non-coast schools who work/thrive at the well-known tech companies. These people include both recent grads and those who graduated last millennium, (just to make it sound dramatic. After graduation, my family/friends have moved to wherever they wanted for work including to tech headquarters.

I’m glad your attorney was able to put you at ease and propose a visitation schedule that will work for you. Did your attorney put in language about ex not being able to move more than x miles away?

I’m a native Californian, but I haven’t lived there since I was 2. That strange fact is just to explain I always read/remember weird facts from California college threads. Posting it for anyone who may have a kid interested in majoring in computer science in California. I know from reading these boards for years there are two ways to study Computer Science (CS) at UC Berkeley. (It may apply at other California schools too, I don’t know.) I learned this when someone posted here years ago about their Berkeley CS student being Phi Beta Kappa, which is only open to top-students in liberal arts majors. (It stuck with me because my CS kid had graduated phi kappa phi not phi beta kappa from an engineering school in a different state.) This is from its website under title two ways to study computer science at Berkeley. “Be admitted to the Electrical Engineering & Computer Sciences (EECS) major in the College of Engineering (COE) as a freshman. Admission to the COE, however, is extremely competitive. This option leads to a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. This path is appropriate for people who want an engineering education. Enter the College of Letters & Science (L&S) and, after successful completion of the courses required to declare with the minimum grade point average (GPA), petition to be admitted to the L&S Computer Science major. This path is appropriate for people who are interested in a broader education in the sciences and arts (such as double majoring in other L&S fields), and/or are not sure at the time of application that they can gain admission to EECS. This option leads to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree. There is no difference in the CS course content between the BS and BA programs. The difference is in what else you take: mainly engineering, or mainly humanities and social sciences. In particular, an interest in hardware suggests the EECS route; an interest in double majoring (for example, in math or cognitive science) suggests the L&S route.”

States differ on probate rules. The state where my only-child/only heir of an elderly relative lived does not require probate to be completed. They also know a widow in that state who filed will/ did basic probate paperwork, but never completed it, because all the accounts/property were in both names and the bank fees/ court fees/attorney fees to complete everything didn’t make sense. Both of these deaths happened nearly a decade ago and it worked fine in their states. Both thought they would compete probate untiil they found themselves in complicated situations as the only heirs with complete access to all accounts and property (for the widow.)

When an elderly family member died, her only heir had handled her finances for more than a decade. Since he had used online banking, he was able to move money/close everything without jumping through hoops. There were many reasons this was the only way things would work for this weird family situation with a relative who lived past 100. All the witnesses to the will had died and the law firm had closed decades earlier. I think I remember you are the only heir.
