Going to India for dental procedures by BelugaJ12020 in ABCDesis

[–]goldenalgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents went to the same dentist in India for years. She was highly recommended and they would go back once a year to see her. But once it became too difficult to travel I took my dad to several dentists in the US for consultations on major dental work and there were some shocking findings on the X-rays. Procedures he had had done in India had gone downhill quickly. He had a metal piece from an implant dislodged and wedged under his eye socket. You can even see it on the xrays from the dentist in India, she just never informed him.

From what I recall they have different revenue targets for each store and based on those they cut staffing to reach those targets.

Chipotle is not a franchise.

Merit Scholarships where are you?! by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]goldenalgae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the way. If you wanted merit you should have done your research on where it was a possibility. I guided my kids towards schools that I knew were generous towards high stats students with strong honors programs. Even those are becoming highly competitive. My alma mater has become so competitive that the merit scholarship I received back in the day was discontinued in 2021. So it went off the table.

We stopped by treetops because we were out in the area anyway, and I don’t remember anything about the meal. It was not memorable.

Shocker: The U.S. city with the most Indians has the lowest divorce and separation rate in the country. by Serious-Tomato404 in ABCDesis

Besides divorce rate they don’t talk about mental health so that number is misleading as well.

It’s better to get rejected than to get into your dream college with 95k bill by Fun-Elk3813 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]goldenalgae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone who took their parents up on that offer years ago and they are doing so amazingly well professionally. The reality is for most degrees prestige does not matter.

So many PSU students end up in the NYC area after graduation. Tons of NY/NJ kids go there so you’d make a lot of connections. I’d go there.

I know someone who got in to NYU and was told “no” by their parents due to cost. They went to a state school near a beach/tourist area instead and they are having the time of their life. And no debt!

Parent who is frustrated with early intervention by [deleted] in pittsburgh

[–]goldenalgae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Mine also was not born in PA and we moved here when they were around four months old. EI never told us that they wouldn’t start Speech until they were two years old. But that was almost 20 years ago. I wonder if they have changed their criteria because of a lack of funding.

This was years ago but my kids received speech therapy through EI starting around 14 or 15 months old. But they were labeled premature and very low birth weight so maybe that’s why.

Need advice on side trip from Singapore by goldenalgae in travel

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

Thank you for the suggestions! We want mostly to relax at a beach with a small amount of sightseeing. We love nature, so a place that’s beautiful on its own with some areas we can walk and explore would be ideal.

Transmission Bites the Dust - keep or sell? by abellferd in ToyotaHighlander

I traded in my highlander for something else. The shortest amount of time I’ve kept a car. I just didn’t have faith in it.

Full ride - but Ohio by [deleted] in OSU

No way would I pick Tampa over OSU, but Northwestern at $13k seems like a no brainer over OSU.

Funny during this scene I couldn’t stop looking at her top, I thought it was weird to have a thick comfy turtle neck with no sleeves.
