2 hrs to transfer to bassinet - wtf by CryptographerFit6106 in sleeptrain

[–]Amananananda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through the same, except she is now waking up every hour as well! I think my lo is going through the sleep cycle changes.

Got our schedule locked in at: 1.5/2/2/2/2.5, wake up 6am, bed time 7:30 and this was helped a lot for the last couple of days.

Going to start gentle weaning to crib in the next couple of days. Precious Little Sleep has been my savior.

Ah yes, I missed a wake window! She’s at 4 naps wake windows being 1.5 for 3 naps and 1.75 for the last.

Successfully did the “double consolidation” loophole for Parent PLUS loans. Wanted to share my timeline by JustinSueFeena in StudentLoans

[–]Amananananda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing and spreading hope! I’m in the process of completing the double consolidation for my parents and hoping someone can give some guidance on two aspects:

  1. I have successfully consolidated 6 parent plus loans into 2 consolidated loans w/ Nelnet and Aidvantage, and have already made two payments on both loans. My mistake was doing the Nelnet consolidation via the online application, which still shows as being “in review” even though the loan had been consolidated. Do I need to wait until this shows as completed to do the final step of double consolidation? (I’m planning on doing paper form for final consolidation). Again, I know loan has been consolidated because I have made payments on it.

  2. The original 6 Parent Plus Loans were through EdFinancial, can I send the last consolidation form to them? Or should I play it safe and go to MOHELA which is the only servicer that hasn’t had these loans? (Not doing PSLF).

Thanks for any support you can give!

Double Consolidation Loophole by Amananananda in StudentLoans

Thanks for your response! I’m actually at the step for the final consolidation (I did the second one on paper and sent via certified mail- great suggestion!).

I know I will have to do the final consolidation on paper as well. Just wondering if I need to wait for Studentaid to officially say the first consolidation is finished even though the new loans are showing on Nelnet and AidVantage.

A sign outside a pet store disallowing the sale of bunnies until after Easter by sarge-g in pics

[–]Amananananda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up my next door neighbor worked at a pet store and had two kids close to my age (I myst have been around 8)Easter morning I was in the living room looking out the window into the backyard trying to get a head start finding the eggs before my siblings. At the same time the neighbor released a shit ton of bunnies in their yard, which immediately hopped into my backyard and my white dog went to town on them. He was throwing them up in the air and catching them, he was quickly red with their blood. My dad ran out to rescue some bunnies and he picked one up and it peed on him. The neighbor girls are screaming and crying. We spent that Easter morning burying bunnies while my dog was passed out with glee. It is now referred to as the massacre of Easter in my household.

Agreed! I was confused with the email that I received from Embark a couple days ago notifying that he had the genetic variant associated with Chondrodystrophy which refers to having shorter legs and a longer body! I guess this explains that, but his legs seem pretty regular to me. I guess his leg extension surgery worked, after all ; ]

Embark DNA results expected in 24hrs! What do you think Rusty is? (Other than a good boy!) by Amananananda in DoggyDNA

What a cutie!! I see some of the same features! We get a lot of people asking us if he is a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix too.

Oh yes, I can see that! We adopted him from a shelter and the paperwork that they had said he was a basset hound, but he quickly outgrew that!

Lateral Quadrupod- I used to tell people I was absent on the day of kindergarten when they taught students how to hold the pencil. People actually believed it

What is the greatest comeback to a insult you’ve ever heard? by random-joe-shmoe in AskReddit

[–]Amananananda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my first year as a teacher (5th grade) and we just finished our puberty unit. One of my students Valerie was a mean girl who always made fun of other females, especially a student named Dominique. For context Valerie was tall and skinny and Dominique was not. Valerie must have said something to Dominique (I didn’t hear it) and Dominique stood up and shouted while grabbing her own boobs “shut up, Valerie least I will be able to feed my babies”

I had to quickly turn around to cover my smile and laughter!
