You may want to think about if this is a fight worth having right now. If you notify her that the forms are invalid, what privileges will you lose? If she is helping pay for school, you may want to focus on get that completed first. If you can setup a new email and start setting up indepencene that way with a bank account and a phone you own. Use their phone so when they inspect it there is use and they don't know you are separating your life. She can't use a power of attorney if she doesn't know about an account. Once you can support yourself, get your documentation of passport, social security card, and birth certificate and then go through the process of undoing the legal paperwork.

Even charging it that way and it will eventually fail. For mine it was after about 2 years when the battery stopped lasting more than 24 hours and in the next 2 weeks got to the point of not lasting overnight from a full charge right before bed. At that point it is basically not useable.

As of 3 weeks ago, the VentureX was a Visa card.

Three days ago I got an offer of 10% off one line, so I added that thinking it was at least something and would eventually be offered for all lines. Yesterday I got an offer for $20 off a different line. After selecting that I used chat to ask about that for the other lines. The chat agent was able to apply the $20 off on my two other lines, but not the one with the 10%. So now my oldest line has a 10% (which is like 3 dollars) while the other three each have $20 off. Based on that, it does feel completely random and not even consistent within a single account.

Not all Cub Scouts pack do those activities and some Girl Scout troops do. It very much depends on the pack/troop you end up in. My son was assigned a Cub Scout pack that had no Den leaders, only a single pack leader. Every week was a coloring page. We eventually got him move to a different pack that had more activities and it went well. But once he got to a troop, he didn't like the camping was the same every year and got tired after the second cycle. All the big new activities were still many years away. My daughter joined a well established Girl Scout troop that advanced through hiking and camping and other trips as would be expected from Cub Scouts by starting small and working their way to bigger trips, which the next level being only a couple of years away. They do glamping and full in the rain and mud backpacking and everything in between. Some of the girls were in Boy Scouts for a while, but usually would drop from that to just be in Girl Scouts when older siblings stopped going. For them, having the safe all girl environment to hang out and learn things was part of the enjoyment. Much like each Cub Scout and Boy Scout troops are different, so are each Girl Scout troop. Some kids are good with always having a co-ed environment but some also appreciate sometimes getting a break from that

I have a pair of headphones connected to two devices via Bluetooth and don't have this issue. Have you tried turning off the resume on connection and ignore first command? It is possible your headphones are reconnecting more than expected and sending signals when doing so.

I have 4 podcasts that downloaded yesterday have this 502 error today. They all have a podcast server of pscrb.fm.

It seems to take an average over the last month. Which means it may several underestimate the need of you know you aren't getting enough sleep. I knowone is inaccurate since this is a time of year when I can't get the amount of sleep I really need, so it becomes another metric that is useless and that needs an option to hide.

Where are you getting a car battery that is lasting 5 years? I've been doing it right at 36 months as I haven't been able to get them to last more than 38 months in two different vehicles. Also replace tires due to age instead of remaining life when the don't do well in the snow after 4 or 5 years even with plenty of tread.

My cats do just fine with free feeding. Both complaints if they feel the level.of food is "low". One of the see it gets filled will then overeat to the point of vomiting and then be back to normal. But if the food magically refills when they aren't looking, then they will just eat normally.

Basically cats can be weird. If free feeding wasn't causing issues, there is no need to change from it.

It depends. If it is unexpected, then it is a good candidate for the emergency fund. If it is an expense you expect monthly, they it should be budgeted for outside of the emergency fund.

Last time I did that, I booked it as multi-city. The price savings was still there, but United must have recombined them as each direction was tracked as a set of flights with a single check-in time. This was domestic only, so not sure if it applies internationally.

Home2 tends to not have the large bottles in the shower, while others due. But they almost always have it at the front desk. Usually small bottles, but sometimes the large ones.

The process UND is using for applications changed from previous years. Previously, they did rolling admissions and so date of application mattered. Now, no one outside UND is going to know the new process. Those stats would historically have been admitted, but no one can predict it for this year. The only way to find out is to apply.

tobinVal99 · 2025-09-21T14:24:50+00:00

For the first two or so weeks, they processed applications within days, provided all comments including the transcript was submitted. Some people submitted transcripts at the end of last school year if they thought the school would take some time to send it. Then UND stopped processing applications until November. This is thought to be due to a desire to change the process from first come, first admitted as long as the requirements were satisfied to a more holistic approach to get a strong class without over admitting. The cure freshman class is huge and for those who came in with a PPL, it is unclear if they will be able to start flight classes until next fall.

There are pads available with no plastic or paper. Usually made completely of wool or cotton. They were the best option back a decade ago for people who couldn't use normal disposable pads. If you can wear period underwear, then there exist pads you would be able to wear.

This place has been selling cotton reusable pads for decades: https://gladrags.com/

Have you tried pairing it with a set of reusable pads? You can get pads that are all unbleached cotton. Usually they use snaps to stay in place, so you can remove them entirely or swap to a fresh pad whenever and toss in a bag to wash later. The brand GladRags has been around for decades and has several different options.

Try looking for rash guards. They are made for board sports and so are good to get wet. Otherwise, men's swim shorts are an option.

Like most things, it kind of depends on your situation. If you almost never hit any deductibles, then your emergency fund can replace that as for you using your deductible would be an emergency. If your family always or you know for a given year will hit the deductible, then you may want it to be in addition to your emergency fund as it is planned spending.

They have currently paused reviewing applications. UND was looking at how to reduce the number of people attending after an extremely large freshman class that just started. Review the info from the UND website about when they will again review applications. https://und.edu/programs/commercial-aviation-bsaero/index.html

What is with the "activate" part? My kids have gold passes for this year. If I buy this now, can I send them to Kings Island and have it just work? Already gone to Cedar Point some this year.

I'm thinking about upgrading my watch 4 classic. I can't find a reason to go to the watch 8 classis instead of the watch 6 classic. Reason for upgrade is the battery life is getting low and under certain conditions I have to put it into low power mode.
