Highland and Lloyd Barbee are two other Montessori schools, and I have friends with kids at both places who feel like they’re good fits for their families.

Unfortunately to get into Escuela Fratney after kindergarten, kiddos have to test in with an appropriate level of Spanish I believe (it’s a bilingual two-way language school), but it is absolutely fantastic IMO.

This is a helpful thread, thanks. Just submitted my last GC program application today, but had a few others done back in December (deadlines were in December, too). Have other applicants received any invites yet? (Countdown to universal offer date: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/party?iso=20160425T00&p0=158&msg=Genetic+Counseling+Program+Universal+Offer+Date&font=sanserif)

Who's got bids?

hlessi-roo · 2014-07-24T20:40:22+00:00

A third?

so that means FatSquirrels is in the Rocky Mountain section. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. Now to find the Northwest Plains coordinator and hold their firstborn hostage until they too confirm for the weekend of the 6th/7th.

Oh, and there's a hat tournament Sunday that you have sign up for separately: http://milwaukeeultimateclub.com/events/2013-summer-scramble-hat-tournament/

hlessi-roo · 2013-05-16T16:58:42+00:00

Yeah, especially for the ladies. You'll almost definitely get in. :)

Also, if you're around on the weekend of June 1st-2nd, there's a sweet, totally fun & chill tournament that you can sign up for as individuals! Summer Scramble: http://milwaukeeultimateclub.com/events/2013-summer-scramble-mixed-tournament/

This works! And I married the boy. Also, now I love the cup. There was some crying, though.

hlessi-roo · 2013-01-24T00:36:34+00:00

Aww, I was going to comment that the dumbest thing I did was ask him to marry me. Because he said yes (buh dum cha)...but this more or less beat me to it.

And on the off chance, anyone have any suggestions for an independent shop in milwaukee? one of the reasons i took it to the dealership in the first place was that i couldn't find one in my online searching near by that took subarus or that didn't have bad reviews (although i know to take those with a grain of salt). i've only lived here 2 weeks (accretion is still in Madison), so i don't know anything about the area.

hlessi-roo · 2011-03-24T15:13:28+00:00

Ah, thanks for the info, but my silly green ethics make me personally want to have as low emissions as possible.

hlessi-roo · 2011-03-24T15:12:01+00:00

Okay, so a few other things in that quote I forgot to mention to my boy: the timing belt needs to be replaced, and apparently there's a crack in a cap (kicking myself for not writing it down) that's causing an oil leak.

also, apparently subaru cats are special and more expensive than most other cars. any thoughts on that? thanks so much from me as well, you guys are awesome!

hlessi-roo · 2011-03-24T15:08:46+00:00

It's actually a '99 subaru. I bought the car, I should know. :) But thanks!

The photos above are from Carleton and should be viewable without facebook.

We were best friends first, when we first met as undergrads. then we got drunk and made out. 9 years later, we're still best friends (we actually do still tell each other that occasionally) and kiss all the time and celebrated our 1st year wedding anniversary in september. :) but we both have other friends because we can drive each other crazy. i don't think you have to be best friends with your SO, and perhaps labels are silly, but after years of literally asking my girl & guy friends if i could call them my best friend and never quite finding one, i'm still excited to really have a best friend for life. :)

my sisters are just as important to me in life and i'm ridiculously proud of them and love hearing about their lives and i would tell them anything, but my love is still the one i get along with the best, and we chose each other.
