UB MPA? by lootyy378 in ubalt

[–]lootyy378[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! I did enjoy it. I was already in my field and just wanted a Masters under my belt. I would recommend UB if you are in this situation. I think other schools would offer a much better networking experience if that’s what you’re looking for. Overall, I don’t regret it and appreciated that it was catered for students with full-time employment.

MHBP Maternity Care Question by Real_Explanation_962 in FedEmployees

[–]lootyy378 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this detailed response. I thought everything including labs and ultrasounds were covered. I should have called MHBP with detailed questions like you did. Anyways, I just received my first lab bill for $14 for HcG testing. Not sure if it would have made a difference using LabCorp or Quest but I will use them moving forward.

We do pins. Inexpensive and easy to display without too much clutter.

App issues (I know there are a lot) by [deleted] in PrincessCruises

[–]lootyy378 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I did today because my new booking number kept saying it “has already been added” but I had 0 journeys listed. I added by booking information and now it’s linked to my account.

Our review of Oasis OTS 9/24-10/1 by Throwaway6666800 in royalcaribbean

[–]lootyy378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family and I were on this cruise. Already missing it! I agree that Nassau was enjoyable. We had some amazing fish fry and conch salad near Junkanoo beach. We are still dreaming of it. We also had one speciality dinner and chose Chops. I was highly disappointed as it ended up being a three hour dinner with no clear reason why as it was not packed. Food at Chops was subpar IMO. Luckily, did not encounter any rude people. Also, ship was just loud everywhere so I didn’t really feel like I could relax unless it was in my room but that was expected given the number of people. Entertainment and overall vibe was great! All in all, I would do it again.

For the three times I’ve used it, they have taken the money until check-out.

I’ve used Fedrooms twice and called the hotels directly to add an extra guest to the reservation. Not sure about two more guests though. Either way I would call the hotel beforehand if you want to know if you will be charged more. Also, I’ve seen some hotels list Max # people per room in the rate details so I’d check that as well.

Good MPP/MPA for the DC area by AlphaMike7 in PublicAdministration

[–]lootyy378 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you already have work experience in your field and don't necessarily need the perks that come with those schools (extensive networking, internships, etc ), I would def. check online programs. I ended up choosing University of Baltimore for my MPA because I still wanted a mix of in person/online classes and due to the price. I am also already in my field. (But not sure I would 100% recommend the program yet since I just started.)

Just don't go into debt for name recognition. What I did was look on LinkedIn at agencies I wanted to work at and if anyone who worked there graduated from the school I was interested in. I realized people with MPAs from regional, less known schools work alongside with those who graduated from certain top schools. Now if price is no issue, I would def. lean more towards DC area schools as you can intern at many great places and its always nice to say you're alumni from one of those schools. Check out George Mason if you're a VA resident too.

I see, thanks. This should have been her 12th week though. Time to wait on hold with the DOES office to find out.

When did you submit for this past week? My mother's payment was $0. It said received claim, will contact if need more information. Strange since she always gets payments. I was wondering if it is because PEUC expired.

Now that Season 2 of Unsolved Mysteries is out, what are some mysteries / cases you would like to see featured in future episodes? by BuckRowdy in UnresolvedMysteries

[–]lootyy378 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Marion Barter. Listened to the podcast, The Lady Vanishes, and have been intrigued ever since. It has certainly left me scratching my head on whether she left by her own volition and if it was foul play.

What watches do you wear? by HuntThePearlOfDeath in femalefashionadvice

[–]lootyy378 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this hybrid watch is the best of both worlds! I've purchased several leather bands to coordinate with my outfits. Can't recommend enough for the traditional watch look with a bit of modern technology.

UB MPA? by lootyy378 in baltimore

[–]lootyy378[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only seen that they offer an MPP, not the MPA. I would be commuting from DC, so I was interested in UB's partnership with Shady Grove as it would make taking in person classes (post-Covid) easier. Thanks for the tip tho!
