My cat is 14, not likely to accept a new pet, which we in the house aren't keen to do just yet either. We are still mourning the death of our beloved 11 year old dog. But my cat seems lonely, and I wonder if I'm crazy for thinking that.

It's ridiculous how much these colleges are charging, I honestly think, but my kids want to go.

If you got money from the school and your kid is not an athletic, music or academic scholar...how did you do it if you are middle class? It's like they want me to sell my house and use all the equity to pay for college...again ridiculous.

I don't want to saddle my kids with $150,000 of student loans. I know a colleague who is 8 years out of college and still paying his..that's absurd. You need to be able to save for a home, for "rainy day illnesses or retirement" etc and you can't if your money is going towards old student loans.

The private scholarships that aren't tied to sports, music or academics all seem relatively small, like $500. We'd need like 25 of them to get anywhere. And it's hard if your kid hasn't done anything to "stand out".

I've got one who is still a sophomore..maybe I can do better by him if i start earlier???

Your experienced tips?

thanks

and what's your reasoning...

to me, a couple of them are Central Connecticut, Albany, and George Washington...

Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl proved they can come into a tournament overconfident; Albany played a great game against Vermont; George Washington has been an upset do-er in the past...

If you search online for activities...where.

If you get information in a newspaper or magazine...which ones.

Thanks!

What's a good hotel for my son who is going to need to look for a place to live in Sydney Australia? He's 28, wants something affordable, safe, clean near public transportation, just for 3-5 days while he finds a rental.

He's getting his license in a month..doing all the right things in terms of lessons and classes....what 'rules" did you give your son....or what rules did you as a new driver accept...that made you more responsible? It's such a scary thing for a parent. I know we need to follow state rules of course.

Because they often give up a lot of their own dreams. Is/was it worth it? Sorry about giving up your own dreams to take care of others? Sometimes it's hard to do both.

That's what Renee put on the end-of-marriage petition and it still makes me wonder what she meant by that. Your ideas?

A short term rental for a vacation. We are looking at London.

with so many teens involved in auto accidents, I have a high anxiety level about this although my son is taking professional lessons and seems to be taking it all seriously. But who knows what happens when I'm out of sight?

Such as:

kiteboarding; heli-skiing, eco-trek, volunteer work travel, educational program, food/wine adventure, biking event etc!
