  1. Per semester. $8k-$10k per semester. I can't read. Like, I can't see the words on the screen.... That's still a lot better per year than many of the numbers in this thread.
  2. Lots of ::hugs:: and prayers!! I'm pretty sure I'd feel scared, too. It's so great you're doing it anyway!
  3. I wonder what makes the difference between persistence and self-resolution?
  4. Hmm... I'd still have kids. I'd do that over again, though I'd learn from my mistakes. Same thing for all my relationships, of course. Otherwise... Coffee house owner (original game plan; get a business degree and open a coffee house in "the city"), world traveler, homesteader, nun, house flipper, singer (not of idol fame, though; that sounds terrible), woodworker, maybe writer...I might think of others in time, lol
  5. I don't blame her. I'm torn between needles and books; surgery just seems pricey as the thing is not super inhibiting. It's on my right wrist and I thought it was one of those little bones out of place, but I just can't put too much weight on that wrist, so I'm in wait & see mode.
  6. I was told it needed to be surgically removed, unless I wanted to slam a huge book on my wrist, which I don't! The PA said that they could drain it, but there was a chance in would just refill.
  7. Other: it didn't occur to me to think about having a favorite, lol. But I'm generally not good at the, "What's your favorite..." game. Tan cloth is fine; it's what I'm used to.
  8. So this makes me want to send my kids to college abroad... Is that possible? Actually, a nearby college's tuition and fees are about $180 per credit hour, a grand in fees, and $600 in books. R&B bring it to around $8k-$10k per year. Not terrible. It's not a prestigious school, though. It's just a school. Public funded, fwiw. My private LAC is about $44k/year for the whole thing; $30k for tuition et al and $14k for R&B. It was around $23k/year when I was there. I don't have particular attachment to it, anyway. I think they'll be going to the public college and living at home, lol. Edited for additional thoughts and formatting.
  9. Aww. Here. edit: weird things are happening with my emojis!! My smiley was tiny the first time I posted, then after I edited the post, *poof* it was huge! Hmm..
  10. Yes, but not in that sort of way. My big changes have to do with interpersonal and faith stuff. I wouldn't mind traveling; I love seeing new places, but I'd want to spend several months in each place. I'd love to volunteer...my idea of mission work is more helping people build/repair houses, though. Spend quite a while in a women's monastery (months). Otherwise, it's changes I can make now--hike more, camp more, find a few live entertainment events, go to the beach...things I just haven't given myself permission to enjoy for the past 15 years.
  11. This is me, too. Though to be fair, when I was 16, I got a 2-year-old purple corduroy sofa from a boyfriend's neighbor and JUST replaced it about 5 months ago with a nice leather reclining sofa.
  12. Testing... Default emojis are small, "text" emojis are huge?
  13. My theory is that it's both account and emoji specific. I'm on Chrome on a laptop, fwiw.
  14. That sort of thing is just...really unfathomable for me. It's someone else's stuff...you could just give it back...
  15. Holy wow. Ok. Thank you for sharing your stories. ::hugs::
  16. Thank you. And just to clarify in general, it's not an aspersion on anyone here or meant to undermine; I'm thinking of people I know and myself in particular. And I think of specific things like gaslighting, and am trying to square that with things like faulty human memory, different perspectives/perceptions, etc. e.g.: Do I just think I have a bad memory and am really gaslighting? Am I narcissistic toward my children? etc.
  17. Is it possible for narcissistic generation A to abuse their offspring (generation B) and essentially turn them into narcissists who then abuse generation C? And if so, how is C not also turned into a narcissist? edited for grammar
  18. Really great (sorry!). But ours was straight forward, we never itemized, and they withheld way too much in 2018; I'm having it adjusted.
