Its nobodies business what your kid gets in aid. As for whats left over for Pops to pay, don't forget the cotten picken $6 a day to park on...

From the caringbridge journal Wednesday: Ashlyn has had another good day of physical therapy with her therapy dog Baker. They removed casts from her left leg and right arm to extract the stitches. After removing the stitches, another cast had to be placed on the arm and leg. The medical staff will take X-rays of Ashlyn tomorrow to see how the healing process is progressing. The Pope family would like to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving....

Then there are the financial aid people you talk to at the schools. They can not stand the word NEGOTIATE but they will do it. What will it take to get your DD in our school. Coaches talking to their AD. Parent talking to the FINI people. Coming up with a package that ALL are happy with and what parents can afford to pay. Buy our car sales pitch. If the FULL RIDE is not there.

it's MONKEY NUMBER's!! Ha! Ha! aren't those the same numbers they use in Washington? It's ALWAYS about the money... so right! Makes one wonder how some schools have so many OSS non revenue sport athletes Wingate University President, Dr McGee, is a huge sports supporter- Whew!
