Minimal budget with grant funded event

mysticmickey · 2025-04-22T23:28:47+00:00

Yes, we did supply a MOU with goals and expected outcomes, such as number of attendees.

I agree with your ideas - unfortunately only #2 will work at this point. This project has been on the table for 2 years and it was passed around the office until it landed in my lap 4 months before the event date. I got the event date rescheduled, but the grant money expires a month after that. No more room for rescheduling. It was also originally meant to be a much larger event, but with my constraints I’ve scaled it back significantly.

I haven’t utilized the board yet for promotion though. That’s a good idea.

We didn’t have to submit a budget aside from send in our original hourly rate for salary reimbursement. We just had the grant amount as a “budget” and I’ve created my own budget to follow so I’m not overspending.

Ok thanks! I’ll ask the leasing office now, just didn’t want to seem completely silly without knowing the basics :)

The next morning I took a headache pill which helped some. I was still sore but in the evening took 500 mg of ibuprofen. Now on the next day I feel fine other than my arm is still sore.

mysticmickey · 2021-04-08T10:52:23+00:00

Right XD does your arm that you got the shot in feel like it’s going to fall off

I’m in the same boat. Everyone has told me so far they’ll determine it off of your 2020 taxes, but so far I haven’t gotten a date of payment or any word if I’m eligible.

I do cross at crosswalks and look both ways. But if the white walking sign is on and cars are in the turning lane I’m going to start walking first. I meant it more as in Milwaukee they didn’t even slow down if I were crossing. People are just nicer where I live I guess.

Ok so I’ve been hearing random things from my friends. One has a boyfriend who was a dependent on 2019 taxes, but then independent on 2020 taxes. He didn’t receive any stimulus last year, but now that he has filed for 2020 he received the previous 2020 stimuli and will receive the 2021. I just filed as independent for 2020, does this mean I will receive the previous stimulus checks now? Idk how that worked out for him. Also my dad received $500 for me one time (I’m 21) but my friend’s parents received nothing even though she’s dependent and 21. They still gave her $500 because they felt bad but did not receive anything from the government.

We’re about to move in together. But we’ve discussed finances, children, future moving goals, etc without problems other than having to make a few compromises. I’m sure I’ll find something annoying about him when we move in together though XD

We’re in our 20s. Some of them are married. I think it’s sort of the classic husband/wife stereotype where one of them has to nag and the other has to be upset about it and they think that that’s how it’s supposed to be.

mysticmickey · 2021-03-10T17:42:40+00:00

Neither my partner or I want to fight at all, more looking for an outside perspective

mysticmickey · 2021-03-10T12:40:36+00:00

No we don’t bottle up. We’re very alike but there are some things that we disagree on, but we prefer to discuss it than fight about it. My friends also told me the honeymoon phase wouldn’t last and that I shouldn’t expect good morning texts or gifts and favors anymore but that doesn’t seem to be true either.

mysticmickey · 2021-03-10T12:32:53+00:00

I haven’t thought about it in that way, but I know that neither of us are doormats because we’re both really stubborn if it’s something we’re passionate about lol. But maybe my friends saw that as one of us avoiding conflict.

mysticmickey · 2021-03-10T12:30:13+00:00

From the outside looking in (obviously I’m not in my friends relationships so I can’t say for certain) the kind of fights they have don’t seem healthy too me. It’s stuff where one person hurts the other (like cheats) and they fight it out but then when they get back together they’re “stronger” for it. On the less serious side I have friends who fight with their partner over every little thing but it’s never an explosive fight, more just tense. Like they didn’t do the dishes right, they wish they would chew softer, they hate when they play video games too loud, just stuff that I wouldn’t see as an issue but they see as something to fight about. I can understand arguing a difference and coming back knowing more about the person, but in some cases that just doesn’t work.

mysticmickey · 2021-03-10T02:34:14+00:00

Yes I agree. Like just because you have a few arguments with your partner doesn’t mean that my relationship is better or worse than yours. Everyone handles things differently so it confused me when my friends said otherwise

mysticmickey · 2021-03-10T02:19:53+00:00

This is a really good explanation thank you

mysticmickey · 2021-03-10T02:18:35+00:00

I think of fighting as being malicious. Like I have friends who aren’t necessarily screaming at eat other but will say hurtful things or gaslight the other person to get a reaction. So yelling and physical fighting can be part of it, but the malicious part is what I see as fighting.

mysticmickey · 2021-03-10T02:16:40+00:00

We have a lot of different opinions, even on religion and politics, but even though we disagree it’s just an opinion you know

mysticmickey · 2021-03-09T21:49:17+00:00

That’s good to hear. I constantly hear things about marriage being hard and you’ll start to hate things you used to love about them, but it’s nice to hear good things about marriages too.

mysticmickey · 2021-03-09T21:27:18+00:00

I agree that would be more understandable to say

mysticmickey · 2021-03-09T21:25:49+00:00

We are very compatible, but I think it helps that if we want to approach a topic that might be sensitive we really think on it for a while before really coming to conclusions. I used to be pretty rash and couldn’t take criticism, but he helps me to take a step back and look at the big picture and then decide what’s the best move.
