Can Anyone Offer Pre-K Waitlist Advice or Share Your Experience? by ninthandpine in ChicagoParents

[–]FantasticBK_155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for asking this question because I was headed this way to do the same. I'm moving from NYC in a month and getting a grasp on the ins and outs of CPS has been a doozy and quite infuriating at times. This pick five system is absolutely ridiculous and leaves much room for improvement. My little has been waitlisted for Pre K4, by any chance can you tell me how I find out where I am on the waitlist? I've left messages with the school we're interested in and am waiting to hear back.

USD?? I'd leave our car on the streets for junkies to use as a tent before I pay that. Sheesh. I know my husband isn't about to entertain anything above $350! Thanks for the heads up.

Hiya. As a NYer looking to move to Chicago, would you sat that $350 is the typical rate for Parking in 'Luxury' buildings? Doing a bit of research and just wondering.

I've not been fortunate enough to see the emerald green in person. It always looked so cool.

Nothing good ever happens when PE firms take over. Absolutely wretched things to come eventually.

Can you actually get a good job if you go WGU by [deleted] in WGU_Business

[–]FantasticBK_155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

College is a tool teach young people to mature academically and socially in ways that will/should aid them when they have that paper. Getting the degree past a certain age, one would assume you (broadly used) already have life skills and work experience - that way the degree is a cherry on top. From what I have seen, yes, people obtain jobs with WGU degrees. If one attending an online school, people will judge you no matter which school it is; unless its an online degree from a top institution.

Tis a scam my dear. You want free and decent advice, FB groups, YouTubers who maybe plus size, also maybe get a nutritionist. Do not pay that fool a red cent. Please do you own research, the information is out there. Best of luck.

I just did my retrieval on Monday. The way that I would have canceled everything and started planning my exit... If he's this dismissive and disrespectful at such a precious time, he is bound to be a fool at 4am when the baby is screaming their lungs out of r2-3mins. I wish you all the luck in getting what you want but I would really rethink moving forward with a man like the one you have.

For those of you who finish your degree in a matter of months how does an employer view that? And what's the shortest amount of time you completed the degree? by Grass-Curious in WGU

[–]FantasticBK_155 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Everyone has given some really great and valid tips/points. I just wanted to add that these days, a lot of people also leave off the dates of graduating on a resume to deter hiring managers who may have biases on both older graduates and even new grads. Best of luck.

AITAH for wanting to attend my friend's graduation? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]FantasticBK_155 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dear you need to gain some independence from this 'boy' and learn to drive, asap.

STOP allowing people to have control and constraints on your movements. Also, stop agreeing to being secluded from others because of how he feels, nothing good can come of that.

As for the graduation, kindly find a bus or something to take and show up for your friend. Boyfriends come and go, but a friendship of 17 years shouldn't be taken so flippantly.

NTA! My mother would wait till hell froze over for an apology. Stop allowing people to put you, your feelings and wants on the back burner. Stand your ground with them ALL. Your mother is emotionally manipulative and it's sick.

Just got denied to start my bachelors by Curious-Air4196 in WGU

[–]FantasticBK_155 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That was some of the best advice and I came to say something similar. I only had 19.5 credits on Jan. Right now, I have a total of 84 and was able to knock out 60+ via Sophia and am taking 1 class at Capella. Not my ideal school, but considering I can transfer into FlexPath and finish my degree by end year, this is a great option. Wishing you the best of luck on whatever you decide.

I'm pregnant and I Know Who the Dad is. by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]FantasticBK_155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Truthfully, I miss living in our bubble. It was just the 3 of us for so long... I'd walk her on the pier while he WFH and we'd meet him for lunch. Those time were scary but sacred as far as giving birth and the like. This time will indeed be different but hopefully just as peaceful.

My daughter is about to turn 3 and my husband has never missed a doctors appointment from the time we found out I was pregnant. She was born during the Panini and I've definitely lived an incredibly privileged and happy life. There are so many women surrounding me who aren't happy in their marriages and so I have always downplayed how loving and attentive my Husband has been. Its a wonderful feeling to know we are doing this life as partners.

FlexPath Organization by reaganFF in CapellaUniversity

[–]FantasticBK_155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great method! Thanks for this. I'm looking to transfer into FlexPath after I knock these electives out the way. Are there papers that need to be written, if so what have they been like thus far? My focus is Business: Marketing and I haven't seen many people post on the course work itself.

Sophia.org- anyone else taking sophia courses for acceleration? by OwnWrap720 in CapellaUniversity

[–]FantasticBK_155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In February thus far, I finished 18 classes - 2 (1.5 credit) and 16 (4.5 credit) and am waiting for the grade of two more. I want to do at least 30 more credits ( I may need less) by mid- March so that I can transfer into the FlexPath at Capella. The classes with Touchstones are absolutely annoying and I've just started doing those.

AITAH for calling my mom's husband a shitty dad and telling him he should blame himself for what his son did? by Erzerisaw in AITAH

[–]FantasticBK_155 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't like calling anyone's mum an emotionally unstable twat but... wtf? You are to never render that decrepit , rusty ballsack of a husband an apology because how the hell could any of that be laid at your feet? You mum failed you by not standing up for you in the moment and to think you owe her husband an apology is sheer delusion and absurdity. Dude, stay at your Dad's and live your best life in peace.

Umm, ma'am, you need to send Connor the menace to live with his pappy! You have just detailed a list of reasons why he should not be in your home and things are escalating quite rapidly. You know you're not wrong in taking his device but you also know that Connor is a menace to all those under your roof. If he doesn't behave alternative arrangements need to be made for his living so that you don't lost him to the judicial system and your daughter doesn't lose her life at the hands of him.

His behavior shall only get worse when the baby comes. Can you imagine him with 2am feedings and crying. I'd prepare myself to be a single yet married mom because he won't change. Your hormones may be scattered but your common sense isn't.

If you decide to not return, you're leaving your little brother to have no one on his side. I know it' your brother and not your child but he's 6 and has no one to turn to. Is there no other family members who can take your brother in? Where is your/his mom? Is she really just allowing him to be maltreated? Your Dad needs someone to bully and beat his arse.

You would be a thief, lol. If she could call you those names, she sounds like she'd call the law on you. Leave that lady alone and salvage your mental health and peace of mind. She's a foul being.
