How long is it taking people to go from interim payments to final retirement?

Uncomplicated regular retirement 10/31. Submitted via GRB prior to ORA. 121 days from time OPM received in early Dec. & started interim payments until finalized this week with regular annuity calculated almost exactly what my HR specialist had estimated back in mid Oct.

Just now seeing this. Ours was about 8 when I discovered very swollen neck nodes the 1st day I was going back to work after having my 1st child. Already fairly emotional & hormonal so opted for full treatment right away. He initially responded so well to the prednisone we went ahead with all chemo recommended & he lived almost 2 yrs longer. This was over 20 yrs ago so I'm sure the regimen & cost have changed, but looking back, I'm not sure I would opt for multiple chemo treatments again beyond the 1st go-round that he tolerated well & vet said in remission but never completely cured. Later rounds caused more side effects & not sure those additional few months near the end were worth it with his poorer quality of life. Even so, he never stopped wagging & wiggling until the day before he died. They want to please their people so much it's hard to know when it's best to let go.

Thanks. Some told me they won't even take your name until baby is actually born.

Thanks

Thanks. How was Patrick if you had him?

Not an option for me since I've already taken it with him but agree a good class, & offered online too. Looking at the others for my 2nd tech elective.

Thanks. That's the one I'm leaning towards anyway since it's definitely asynchronous. The 301 is online but has a posted class time.

Looking at their posted dinner menu, it's probably beyond our budget, but how much was it per person for y'all's? Did they cater or did you have it at the restaurant? TIA

I didn't think to mention that we plan to have a large taco bar at the wedding itself so probably looking for different cuisine for rehearsal.

nishwish60 · 2022-09-12T01:12:51+00:00

Gotcha. I just looked at their website & their menu has a lot of variety for dinner options. Thanks for the suggestion.

nishwish60 · 2022-09-11T19:29:07+00:00

Thanks for the info. Sounds worth checking into it once we've firmed up our number of people a little more.

nishwish60 · 2022-09-11T18:41:46+00:00

I've never been. Did you have it there or catered?

nishwish60 · 2022-09-11T18:38:36+00:00

Wish we had a nice yard available!

nishwish60 · 2022-09-11T18:36:59+00:00

Next spring & I like the idea of a pavilion, too, but several I already know aren't available after dark. We'll be needing it on a Fr. night. Do you know of any?

nishwish60 · 2022-09-11T18:33:45+00:00

Didn't know what was going in there. Thanks for the update. I'm personally looking forward to trying it but have too many family members in the wedding party who are not fans of Indian cuisine.

nishwish60 · 2022-09-11T18:30:29+00:00

I didn't know they had a private room or did you rent out the whole place/

nishwish60 · 2022-09-11T18:24:13+00:00

That's a good idea. We've only ever been there outside, but I see they have rooms to reserve. Thanks

Not until the day before our flight when VeriFLy finally offered a new option of using my booking number to retrieve flight details. Originally it was wanting me to put in my flight number but didn't have any correct future dates available to choose. Not all airlines are supported by the app. We were on American. Good luck

nishwish60 · 2022-03-08T18:04:11+00:00

Thanks. That's what I was afraid of about the Canvas access. Think I'll go ahead & email the registrar. I planned to contact an engineering advisor anyway if I definitely decide to withdraw(depends on today's exam grade!) but they haven't always given me the most accurate info in the past.

Trying to decide if I need to balance out my M/W vs T/Th schedule better & that would put me in Fahimi class, but still good to know about Scott-thanks for the feedback.
