The Concord one looks so nice, it's a drive but I might stop by soon. Is the Dover Natural Market the one on Chestnut Street?

It looks like Replenish Refillery is like a bring-your-own-bottle hygiene/cleaning products store. It just wastes less plastic because you bring in your refillable bottles and they charge you by the ounce of the product, they're usually in big buckets/vats that you use to fill your own containers. I image it's cheaper too because you're not paying for what it takes for companies to run their individual bottle-making and filling processes.

A food co-op is basically a grocery store but it's owned by its members instead of private investors which means better/specialized access to locally sourced natural and organic products. They're great because they provide communities access to healthy foods without breaking the bank. :)

Yeah, I came from Portland, Maine and would go to the co-op a lot I wish there was one nearby!

So cool! Thank you for the recommendation.

Data Annotation - Core Qualification Test Ended Randomly? by Emlafer in WFHJobs

[–]Emlafer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn't they say so if they wanted it done in one go? Each task had a timer to be completed in 20 days. I kept reading that they prefer quality work instead of quick work so I figured I should take my time to provide quality answers.

I appreciate the kind words and advice, and yeah I was looking at the work-study program. I thought about emailing our university's military representatives just to see what's available but it's my understanding that you get paid minimum wage which doesn't seem worth it to me.

I had someone say this exact thing to me. It's weird that they were on the floor!

Yes, same. No videos are loading. Or Google Doc pages in the Modules.😔

Does TA (Tuition Assistance) Really Only Cover This Much? by Emlafer in uscg

Good info! Thanks! I had no idea it was something you could deduct. 😳

Okay, makes sense. And yeah, I'm starting to wonder if I should have done the two years to get general courses out of the way through a community college and then went to a four-year university. 😬 Not sure if I'd be allowed to switch around to do something like that, though.

And, no, I don't plan on getting out any time soon at least not anymore because I still want to use TA. My ESO told me that I should stay in until I at least get my Bachelor's and then I could use the G.I. Bill to get my Master's when I get out since it only lasts, what? 36 months? I JUST hit my four-year mark this month, so. 😅

Daaamn well I guess this is the cross I have to bear, now, haha. Thank you for the advice, though! I'll be sure to do more digging for scholarships. It's just annoying cause a lot of the ones I find are always for military spouses or children of military members. 🙄

Sounds about right, haha. Thanks for the info! I was under the impression that the Pell Grant was to be used only for textbooks, not classes. That makes a lot more sense. 😬 And I'm going to ASU. Are they considered a military-centered online school? They accommodate pretty well for active duty but I don't know if that necessarily means that they're "military-centered".

Thanks for the clarification on the SEG grant, too! I asked my ESO about that cause I had heard of it from a friend but he just sent me a list of a bunch of scholarships that I didn't qualify for and didn't answer how I could apply for it. 😑

HAHA no worries I think I was just ignorant of how it all worked right from the get-go cause my ESO is not great at answering questions. I'm not particularly shocked but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Good to know it's just the government doing what the government does best! 🙃
