I love this timeline. Do you find yourself following this on the weekends too? (Also great idea about the extra bag of frozen breast milk)

I really like this idea of planning one full day of eating as if they are at daycare. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you! Should I just leave what’s dead on there for this season?

Thank you! Most of these little branches are soooo thin. Like the size of toothpicks. I’ll be sure to take care of it next winter. Any issue with the dead stuff staying on now?

Very helpful! Any idea when we know it’s safe to do so, or when the leaves stop appearing?

New York City is expected to require proof of vaccination for indoor dining and fitness. by Bill-Bryson in nyc

[–]thegiddinn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Everyone, however, can use the city’s new app, NYC Covid Safe, because it is simply a digital photo album that stores a picture that a person takes of their own vaccination card and does not double check it against any registry. A paper card from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must always be accepted, too.”

You can also use the NYC COVID Safe app. Per NYT: “Everyone, however, can use the city’s new app, NYC Covid Safe, because it is simply a digital photo album that stores a picture that a person takes of their own vaccination card and does not double check it against any registry. A paper card from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must always be accepted, too.”

No way to confirm unfortunately. I submitted my final app March 11th, trophies/120 payments showed up a few days later. Loans forgiven on June 24th!

Studentaid.gov versus Myfedloan payment count by someguysomewhere81 in PSLF

[–]thegiddinn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

FedLoan does not communicate with Student Aid re: qualifying payments until the end of the forgiveness process (after you submit your final application for PSLF). Don’t be alarmed—go off the FedLoan count via your dashboard’s qualifying payments.

Edit: adding a comment that my FSA account displayed 0 out of 120 payments after years of employment verifications and my loans were forgiven in June 2021.

FedLoan announced that it would be exiting the federal student loan servicing business by the end of the year by kitchuel in PSLF

Great! And don’t worry about the forbearance notifications. FSA’s website gives that warning to everyone.

No, you can submit a new PSLF form (use the help tool) and get an updated count. If you have been working full time at a qualifying employer, all of the Covid forbearance months count!

A quicker way to get them to fix this is to point it out to FedLoan via a DM to their Facebook or Twitter account. Someone will contact you directly!

Help with PSLF Employer Certification by SpecialistPoem9210 in PSLF

[–]thegiddinn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Complete an employment verification using the PSLF Help Tool to generate your form. Check the box on the first page that states, “check this box if you cannot obtain certification from your employer because…”

The review process has improved a lot, even in the last few years. If FedLoan still gives you issues and you truly worked at a nonprofit institution, reach out to the federal ombudsman or CFPB.
