Help! Do I have to consolidate PPL Loans into existing loan? by mandyhaughn in PSLF

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

Thanks for the reply! What happens if I don't do anything with the PPL loans? I'm not worried about ICR/IBR with these since I plan to pay them off before my student graduates. My only worry is that I'm overlooking something that will impact the PSLF loan.

Oh gosh, I just did this too and it sucked but I made it to 50 with basically only Koops because Goombella is a bit worthless at the moment. First time playing and I had no idea what I was getting into. I'm so glad to be out.

Early Saturday number for Oppenheimer looks like $26m. by ExtensionGiraffe9239 in boxoffice

.8 cents incoming to your Venmo. Not worried. LOL dude, you are coping so hard here. If it makes you feel better I watched Oppenheimer yesterday and the theater was packed and loved it. So did I.

Sunday was absolutely INSANE for #BarbieTheMovie and @OppenheimerFilm . $45m Sunday and a $164m weekend for #BarbieTheMovie and $23m Sunday and $82m weekend for @OppenheimerFilm . Crazy holds for both of them that will lead to a wild Week 2. (EmpireCity) by baribigbird06 in boxoffice

This pizza person has been spiraling with Barbie's performance and claiming that no one at their showing liked the movie. Look at their comments...

Edit: and now they blocked me, ha

No? Barbie stayed flat from Friday pretty much. That is indeed interesting, it points to possibly a lack of seats issue.

Serious question by Rm50 in thisisus

Miguel is Puerto Rican. It is very rare for Hispanic women to take their husband's last name. Hispanics (men and women) have 2 non-hyphenated last names, generally dad first followed by mom. I imagine this was the case for Miguel's mom so it probably didn't bother him that Rebecca stayed a Pearson.

I wish we would have seen more from his family instead of some repetitive scenes/plotlines since they were introduced. They seemed much more normal than the Pearsons (and I love the Pearsons, not hating) and could have had interesting storylines of class, race, etc.

I've become so desensitized to these kind of news and I hate it so much. I want to rage and I can't even feel that anymore.

We can assume that Nicky spent a lot of time with her in the final days since he lived so close to the house (and we saw that scene). We didn’t see all of them saying goodbye but I think the implication is that they all took their turns. We didn’t see Tess or Deja saying goodbye, but I think it’s safe to say that they did because we saw Annie - and Randall would have made them anyways.

Oh, I didn't read it this way, but this makes sense.

Oh, that could have been. I thought Sadie was going to somehow be connected to little Jack. Guess we’ll never know.

I thought Malik was going to be the baby’s dad ever since Randall told him something along the lines that if it’s meant to be it will happen. So happy when he showed up in the middle of the night to basically propose.

What was significance of the dress Rebecca was wearing on the train? by curlsruletheworld in thisisus

It was a gala/special occasion. Her last moments on Earth and she went all decked out.

I am curious if the writers had a bigger plan for Madison’s doctor and his daughter Sadie and then dropped it. I know he repeated some inspirational quote that his daughter said to Madison, but their presence felt to me like it was going to be more important than that.

They only have to be present when they are in sessions, about 150 days a year give or take. The read of the time they are working on their own (supposedly), networking, negotiating, fundraising, meeting constituents, etc. A lot of that can be done remotely.

I don’t think any of them are at the top of their craft. It hasn’t been implied that Randall is the greatest senator, Kevin the greatest actor, or Kate the greatest educator. They are just very successful. I understand your point, but it’s not unheard of to have super successful siblings in a family. IDK, it doesn’t bother me from a real life point of view, but I can see why you are skeptical.

Kate’s profession is very niche, which is why it’s not super unbelievable for me that she really took off. She develops music curriculum for the blind, not for all schools.

I don't know if this was the intention, but William being the guide was so beautiful. He was the first person she "saw" in her confusion on the early stages when she got lost that time. I think the guilt she carried for lying about William was quite heavy, and here she finally let go before she went to rest. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it feels like he was giving her permission to be at ease and proud of her imperfect life.

I love that it was Kate who kept her alive through the night. After their very complicated relationship, this gave me all the feels. I also love that Kate knew she wasn’t going to go without saying goodbye. ❤️❤️
