  1. I really hate this sort of thing.   Unless I am certain that the target would really enjoy my meddling, I don't see why my thinking that bothering the property of another is funny makes it OK. 

    Our car had a few balloons inside, some writing outside, some metal (cans?) dragging in back.  It wasn't difficult or time consuming (broken hyphen) to live with, caused no permanent damage, long term (broken hyphen) embarassment, or expense.

  2.  

    Has anyone found the magic bullet for the hassle of bedmaking the upper bunk?

    I have seen fitted sheets with an zippable top sleeping surface, a pseudo-flat sheet attached to the fitted on two sides, and a fitted comforter.  These all have advantages and drawbacks. 

    Does anyone have a favorite specialty linen for the top bunk sleeper who likes to change sheets often?

  3. All Who Go Do Not Return by Shulem Deen describes some of the fraud in this educational system.  

     

    ETA:  I posted without clicking on the link. Now I see that the article in the OP is by Shulem Deen.  I highly recommend his heartbreaking book.

  4. My son applied to U Alabama long after the published scholarship deadline.

     

    Today he received word that he is awarded the Presidential Scholarship there.  It was hard to parse the dollar value one the screen without a comma--so many zeroes in a row.  I am stunned that he is hearing about this now. 

     

    We are so humbled and blessed that he has great options.

  5. Ds was just accepted to The University of Alabama in Huntsville!!!! Fingers crossed for financial aid!!!!

    Big congratulations to your son!

     

    We are trying to manage a visit to Huntsville.  I thought it would be next week, but trying to coordinate a trip to the other southern schools is proving really annoying.  Three different spring breaks, days when tours aren't offered.  

    He really wants to visit, but I am having trouble making it happen.

  6. I hope you aren't sick of hearing from me--maybe my son applied to too many colleges.  He was covering two disparate majors, though.

     

    We just heard he is in at Northeastern engineering.

    Also heard from RPI engineering on Saturday with a scholarship--I think it was called Leadership Award
