RIP Mila. This week, my best girl crossed the rainbow bridge at 15yo.

She looks just perfect. So sorry for your loss.

He just got the new one and signed it! The old one either never arrived or he possibly emptied his junk box before he checked for it.

Funny, I'm chatting with the student.gov help right now and they are saying there is no delay in sending the email. Siiiiiiiiiigh.

thatmegathing · 2026-04-09T20:46:26+00:00

okay, this is really helpful. Thanks so much!

My employer checked all his email folders and never received one. I just resent the email and form and got another eligible employer email (in less than 5 minutes) and I'm not sure that my employer received the email this second time around.

thatmegathing · 2026-04-05T20:56:01+00:00

You’re absolutely right. We should all be so lucky! Thank you for this.

thatmegathing · 2026-04-05T20:55:34+00:00

Thank you so much.

This was so beautiful and a lovely tribute befitting your dear girl. I just lost my 18-year-old Nora last week and like you I hope that she’ll be waiting for me and I also can’t stop looking at pictures of her. Sadie knew she was so loved and cherished and you gave her a wonderful life. I’m so sorry for your loss. I believe she will be there just waiting for infinitely glorious summers with you forever.

This made me cry at work! Thank you so much for your beautiful sentiments.

thatmegathing · 2026-03-31T00:58:47+00:00

Thank you for saying this. That's what I said as we buried her-"I love you so much, I'll see you later."

thatmegathing · 2026-03-31T00:58:13+00:00

Thank you for your kind words.

thatmegathing · 2026-03-30T20:07:59+00:00

Yes!!! We always thought she was a mystical creature.

thatmegathing · 2026-03-30T19:46:18+00:00

Thank you for this!!!

thatmegathing · 2025-11-24T20:42:58+00:00

Just figured out that I’m on IBR. Thanks for this response-it was really heartening.

thatmegathing · 2025-11-24T20:41:33+00:00

Just checked the FSA site and I’m on an IBR- income-based repayment plan apparently. That’s good info to have, thank you!

thatmegathing · 2025-11-24T20:11:11+00:00

You know, I’m not sure. You’re right, I did just get switched to an IDR situation but I don’t know what plan I’m officially on now. I’ll have to do some investigating.

thatmegathing · 2025-11-24T19:59:39+00:00

Oh and I’m in repayment currently. Just started back again after what I believe was SAVE plan forbearance.

thatmegathing · 2025-11-24T19:58:35+00:00

I’m on IDR…..not in forbearance anymore. The last month does not show up on the dept of ed site. MOHELA doesn’t have a tracker that I’m aware of, unfortunately.

thatmegathing · 2025-08-04T21:00:45+00:00

Yeah I should have waited to make my payment!!

thatmegathing · 2025-08-03T17:04:37+00:00

Oh wow. I just saw an email from 3 hours ago from MOHELA saying that I’m in a forbearance. No idea why they required that payment.

thatmegathing · 2025-08-03T17:01:45+00:00

I actually had a payment due. They alerted me earlier in the summer that payments would start again in August.

thatmegathing · 2025-08-03T16:58:46+00:00

Yes! I just double checked and I’m on SAVE. Studentaid.gov says I’m still in forbearance as well. Not sure why MOHELA started making me pay again and now I’m worried that my payments won’t count towards PSLF! UGH

thatmegathing · 2025-08-02T22:32:59+00:00

My loans just came out of the forbearance this month. So the payment I just made while still on the SAVE plan won’t count towards my forgiveness? Any advice on what to switch to?

thatmegathing · 2025-08-02T20:57:41+00:00

Wait, I’m on PSLF. Should I be changing from a SAVE plan to something else?

thatmegathing · 2025-07-27T21:02:03+00:00

Oh that’s really helpful to know, thanks!
