    Rude Post Office Employee

    If the postal worker is getting complaints that frequently, I would get her a new position filing mail in the back. There are ways to limit their exposure to the public. :(

    Do you think I did anything wrong with this or was unprofessional?

    I did not read all the responses but were the passengers who commented possibly upset that you took your son on a holiday instead of quarantining?

    Life Alert or something similar for seniors?

    I found out that the latest Apple watch has a fall sensor that will call 911 after 60 seconds if the owner does not respond. I am seriously considering buying one for my mom.

    I work at a food pantry and early morning weekdays, we pick up bread and bakery items outside the grocery store door on those shelved carts like you describe. Just might not be throw away items...

    Delivery charges for pizza delivery.

    My son delivers pizza for a nationally recognizable company. He is paid min. wage and .99 cents for each delivery for the company. Tips, he keeps. He uses his own car, pays his gas and insurance. More for insurance because he delivers pizza and could only find one company who would insure...

    Reasonable hotels in or near Destin

    I live in Niceville across the mid-bay bridge from Destin. I cannot think of any hotel in Destin that is beach front unless you want to spend $$$ at Henderson Park Inn. There is a Hampton Inn, Comfort Inn and an Embassy Suites that are across the road from the beach. They all seem nice and...

    Can you negotiate college tuition?

    I would call the school admissions counselor and see what other scholarships are still available to compete for. My daughter got a call from her school choice and was encouraged to apply for a scholarship that has a December decision timeline. It also allowed my daughter to question a...

    High School Class of 2016/College Class 2020

    My family is very excited that she might go to Montevallo. Her great-great grandmother graduated there in the early 1900's with a teaching degree. She told me she wanted to go to a small school, so we visited because of the family history and she loved it!

    High School Class of 2016/College Class 2020

    Thanks for the replies. My daughter will retake the SAT in December. A higher score could mean a higher scholarship offer from a college too. She was accepted to Montevallo.

    High School Class of 2016/College Class 2020

    Hello all! Just wanted to check in and tell you that my daughter heard back from her first choice college, a small liberal arts college in Alabama. She was accepted! I sent in the housing deposit to insure she would get a room into the new dormitory. Now, she has no motivation to apply...

    High School Class of 2016/College Class 2020

    Hi All! I thought I would join in. My dd17 is a senior. She spent the last 6 weeks in Guatemala for an internship working with children. We went shopping today as her senior portraits are scheduled tomorrow. She applied to her first choice college today, too. Band camp/rehearsals start in...

    How much should we pay in interest on a "family" loan?

    She would feel more appreciated if you would ask her over for dinner in your new house and thank her again for the loan while you pay her the original 30,000. It was a gift given in love, don't make it a business transaction.

    Missouri may be banning steak and seafood from Food Stamp Program

    In my area, a few food stamp recipients have been known to peddle steaks for cash in the downtown area. I think maybe this is to curb that kind of behavior.

    No Cell Phone?! DS12's Response to his upcoming school trip

    My daughter went to a church camp and the youth minister prohibited electronics. I was miserable not being able to keep in contact with her. Not to mention that she lost her camera, alarm clock, weather forecaster, bible, books and her flashlight too. :rotfl2: If we have the technology, why...

    College Kids -- spending money?

    I do not provide "fun" money for my college aged children. My freshman daughter's meal plan covers about 1 meal a day so I do provide her with monthly food money for groceries, hygiene items and eating out. It is 160 a month as that is the price difference from her meal plan to the unlimited...

    I'll Just Go to the Car Dealer Real Quick

    Just a word of warning...Bring your own calculator. Never assume that the car dealership did the math right. Yep, last car we bought. The numbers looked great, invoice, discounts, fees but adding it all up, the out the door price was several hundred more than it should have been. :scratchin

From what I understand from my daughter, this includes initial national fees,chapter room rental, all activities and socials (except t-shirts). The dues go down each subsequent year, where freshman year is the most...
