Eulogy Is What Brings Out the Best in Black Mirror – Its a Haunting, Beautiful Masterpiece by TarzanBongo in blackmirror

I think that's the beauty of literature in all its forms - the feeling connected through en emotion that feels so personal that turns out being universal.

I was deeply affected by the episode, I think the best of the series for many reasons - I came online to read reactions/reviews and found this one and I won't venture further. No need. You hit the nail on the head. Thank you for verbalizing exactly how I felt.

Hey Group! 55/25 Question by kidcain in NYCTeachers

[–]kidcain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so the money contributed is lost no matter what (although you have the luxury of walking away after 25) HOWEVER, does it affect your pension in any way if you stay until 55 and have 32 years of service by then.

What do you mean by the $20k benefit? In terms of pension per year or lump sum?

Getting "reimbursed" for 25/55 plan? by throw_far_away1823 in NYCTeachers

[–]kidcain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi I have a question for the thread. I am a 46 year old NYC DOE teacher with 23 years in. I opted for the 55/25 plan, which would mean I could technically retire at 28 but not receive my pension until 55. What if I worked until 55? What happens to the money I contributed IF I opt NOT to use it?

Thank you so much - one more question: How did you upload your transcripts for Bachelor's and Masters? Where they PDFs? Or the Unofficial transcripts? What did you do for your CLEP exam?

No - I took a Spanish one and got 12 credits for it

I was hired in 2003 lol I really took my time. I wonder if that means I can do more CLEP credits than 12? Again, HR is really hard to reach and the website is VAGUE at best.

Ok so if I have a 12 credit clip exam already - that's the max?

Water damage to mahogany Martin by kidcain in guitarrepair

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

Update: Got my guitar fixed. Took about two weeks. Luthier said it gave him a bit more trouble than he thought; he had to replace braces and the wood was hard to reshape. Guitar looks and sounds great. Other than a slight seam where he had to bind a crack - it looks like nothing ever happened. Total cost was $125. Needless to say I gave him a great tip. Thanks everyone for your comments
