mappy Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 No worries - I wasn’t assuming anything based on your post. More me opining than anything. Yup...B and K are only a month or so apart, right? My wife is a freelance editor, so she stays at home, and B didn’t go to preschool until last year. She had her own periods of getting sick prior to preschool, but it’s definitely happened more since she started preschool. olds mostly, but things like stomach bugs and other random stuff have popped up here and there, but many of them not bad enough to cause too much of an issue. With the baby, especially given the amount of sickness that’s been floating around this season, we’re being extra careful. She has plenty of time to get sick when she’s bigger and stronger, but until then we’re doing all we can to keep her healthy! Fingers crossed, knock on wood and all that!Yeah K is a late December baby.I agree about being extra careful. Told K to do the same when I heard about the stomach bug. No hands in mouth, wash them often, and don’t touch other kids hahaha. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 did you miss the part where i said i was kidding? also, for someone who lives off of snark and cramping people's enthusiasm during a snowstorm, i'm not convinced you should be advising others on how to act. didn't we already go through this before? i get along with pretty much everyone here except you. i don't find you to be a particularly friendly online presence.That’s fine.

Best July 4th I can ever remember. People were wearing jackets. lol Yep. Mid 70s high, refreshing NW wind, and DP in the 40s. By firework time people were huddled under blankets. I believe the low hit the upper 40s out here. It was like a dream; an early-fall day in the heart of the normally-brutal summer heat. And that wasn't the only continental air intrusion; most of the summer was very temperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but it wasn't monumental. 4-6" fell in my area according to CWG, and there was a 8-12" jackpot near Spotsy. I was at the Greenbrier, and it was a pretty large ice storm there.

I live in a rural area, only satellite for internet. So more you add, the slower it runs. Just wish the adds pop up could be controlled by the American. Never had this problem till like 2 weeks or so ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Yeah, went overboard on applying to places. I forgot one too, lol. Not really sure what I want to major in, but as you can probably tell from the colleges it’s probably in the Liberal Arts. Would be fun to take a met class if possible though. Thanks everyone!

Bob Chill Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I told my daughters they could go to any school they wanted at long as it's in MD. lol. They did get into some good schools like JMU/Delaware/Mason/Penn St but even with "scholarships and financial aid" the annual bill was still $35-50k/yr for the out of state schools. That's insane. They are both in UMD, doing very well, and will graduate with very easy debt levels. I've paid as much as I can but I'm not going broke so they can go to parties every night. lol. Plus, I think having them invest in themselves and feeling the pressure of having to pay loans back will motivate them once they graduate. One of my close friends shelled out $160k for his oldest kid to go to Fordham. He's been regretting that decision for years. His other 2 kids went in state and they are doing fantastic. The oldest is still "finding" herself and working at a restaurant....after a $160k degree...oh the madness...pure madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
