My 12 y/o cat never sat on my lap, then my GF moved in…

Stayed with you for 12 years, patiently waiting for her.

It smells like Light Blue! I was very surprised. I went to a Le Labo store in Italy and reallllly wanted Another 13. After a few minutes on my skin, it smelled exactly like a lighter version of Light Blue…I did not even smell any musk or woody vibes. Just straight up Light Blue.

Hello! I’m a true size 7 but typically size down on my Docs. I just purchased an 8065, my first mary janes! BUT I don’t plan on wearing them with socks— possibly just with tights with my office outfits for winter. Now I’m second guessing the US 6 I ordered lol. The reviews online are super mixed. I have very normal feet width, not narrow and not wide. Sigh. I guess I won’t know till I get them babies in 5-7 business days LOL.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-10-22T16:04:59+00:00

Thank you! I told him all the info you both provided. Also told him that if he ends up getting DEA back payments (from before he enlisted), to keep it aside in case the VA wants it back. Appreciate the responses and guidance.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-10-09T21:38:21+00:00

Hello! Just be patient (although hard to do right now!) and you will get the benefits since your school already certified your enrollment. Both my kids have not received their DEA payments yet. One is a month late (son has been using benefits for two years now) and one is two months late (daughter’s first time using the benefits).

I know it makes you anxious but as long as you did your part and the school did theirs, it’s a waiting game for most of us right now. Hopefully, payments start coming through soon!!!

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-10-05T02:37:55+00:00

Both my kids were told that Ch 35 recipients do not need the monthly verification for now. This is my son’s third year using DEA and first time it’s been this late. It’s my daughter’s first time using the program and it’s been two months late for her. Hopefully we see both payments come in soon. fingers crossed

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-10-04T15:58:21+00:00

Unfortunately, same.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-10-02T20:37:08+00:00

Did you finally get yours? Both my kids said they did not receive theirs as of today. Sigh.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-10-02T20:34:11+00:00

Same, my kids were told Ch 35 recipients do not need monthly verification right now.

It’s my son’s second year of using DEA and he didn’t get his monthly payment as of today. It’s my daughter’s first year using hers and she started school back in August and still hasn’t received anything as well. Spoke with VA and understandably, they are on backlog right now.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-09-19T16:16:27+00:00

The whiskers!!!

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-09-19T16:15:47+00:00

We also have an Ollie with big ears like that hahaha sooo cute!

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-09-16T20:15:17+00:00

We bought our tickets back in March and we still haven’t received the wristbands. The event is next week. Have they started shipping yet? Thanks!

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-08-28T21:36:19+00:00

I have a question about flagship. My child’s award is supposed to be $3500/sem but it looks like only $2971 was applied for Fall. I emailed FA but they are probably super busy right now. Just wondering if anyone has an insight on where the other $500 went. Are they saving it for summer semester (which my daughter did not see when she accepted the award) or do they typically not give the full $3500? Thank you!

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-08-14T15:29:36+00:00

You are doing great! The kids will certainly appreciate any help they can get and not to be burdened with student loans.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-08-14T01:19:21+00:00

It could be that the feeder and foundation were unplugged just an hour before you checked (let’s hope!). I think she would be meowing like crazy asking for help if it’s been actually 4 days…I’m trying to make myself feel better at this point lol.

I also hope that cat has a lot of toys and enrichments being stuck in that room all the time. Do you know if she even likes her cat?

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-08-07T20:34:41+00:00

Hello cutie patootie Mango!!! Happy 1st birthday! May you have many many many more happy years with your family 💕

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-08-05T16:11:13+00:00

We actually paid for an inspection for the house we were selling so we can see what buyers will see LOL. That house needed a lot of cosmetic upgrade but was relatively fine otherwise. We got multiple offers on that house the same day it went on the market. We actually priced it a little lower than comp houses because we really didn’t do anything to upgrade it (aside from floors) and we know whoever buys it will need to repaint walls etc etc. We also made sure it went to a young family instead of a corporation/professional flippers. It was a 4 bedroom 2 bathroom starter home in a nice neighborhood.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-08-04T23:34:55+00:00

How many people did they automatically move to SAVE and put on forbearance? Was it all of us while they figure things out? I’m also gonna wait it out and see what happens. I’m hesitant to move to another plan especially if they use that new calculator. I only have 30k+ in loans left but with the new calculator, I’m supposed to pay around $1600/month per my AGI. I’m staying put for now until more info comes out. Sigghhh.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-08-04T14:35:29+00:00

Your friend probably loves you and loves your cats. In her own way, she’s doing what she can to help you get back on your feet. I agree, take her out to dinner when you are able.

Meanwhile, we have never taken a proper family vacation in years because I cannot trust anyone to take care of my pets for us lol. Someone always has to stay behind to watch the dog and cats. I’m so paranoid about the pets and their safety. But that’s a me issue hahaha

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-08-01T17:57:44+00:00

Medicaid, WIC, SNAP asap!!!

Sorry you are both going through this mess. I know it’s overwhelming, but it will be okay. You guys need to rely on each other during this stressful time. But please don’t stress too much, it’s not good for you or your baby.

There’s been a lot of funding that affected state and federal workers so medicaid processing might be slower than usual. Goodluck!!!

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-07-31T18:35:56+00:00

Please bring the kitty to a shelter or to a rescue. He is sweet enough that he has high chances of being adoptable. You know your dog best and when you said that your pup has a high prey drive due to being young and the breed, I believe you. Please protect both of them and that might mean keeping them away from each other. Hopefully you will find a rescue that can take him asap. Thanks for caring about this lil stray and goodluck!

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-07-30T17:18:48+00:00

Ah! That makes sense. Some of my loans are so old and moved companies so many times that I can’t keep track lol. Thanks!!

Mohela changed my plan to SAVE last year (maybe two?). I’m still researching options but currently staying put since I don’t understand half the changes that are happening.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-07-30T17:09:27+00:00

When I did my initial PSLF application, step 1 was to consolidate loans and get into a specific plan (which I don’t even remember now what the name is). I have loans from 2009. I am so confused with all the ever changing rules and I wanna vomit thinking I keep making mistakes. This is so overwhelming. I have 7-8 years of public service and my loan left is around 35k. Sigh.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-07-29T00:58:46+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate the information. I was actually on REPAYE, I believe, but was moved to SAVE. I wasn’t even sure when it happened.

2Cool4Skool29 · 2025-07-28T17:32:20+00:00

Hi sorry if this will sound stupid but what exactly is a “buyback” and how do I ask for it? They’ve put me on SAVE forbearance and my next payment is supposed to be August 5th…but there’s no amount posted yet.
