Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Dear Financial Aid Dude,
I asked a very simple question and qualified it with, "I know the budgets aren't done for next year yet, but could you give me a ballpark figure, maybe even last year's number."
You did not need to be, once again, overly condescending, rude, and unhelpful. There's a reason why the Bermuda Triangle of colleges get a bad name. You're not helping.
No thanks,
vw
Can you exchange him for another financial aid dude? This one seems to be defective.
He's the only one that deals with the private loans, so no. I do have a financial aid counselor, and I've asked her a few questions and gotten as little, or less help from her. Of course, I was transferred to her when I asked for the person who handles MassRehab stuff, so she couldn't have answered even if she wanted to. But, dammit, she kept trying.
The school has been really good to me, but financial aid is really pissing me off right now.
vw, I'm sorry you're having to deal with an unhelpful financial aid guy. I hope you can get the information you need.
It's very quiet in here this morning.
I'm googling for information on parenting when you are disabled. It's very frustrating because there is very little that applies directly to my situation. FTR, not pregnant, just researching.

Quite frankly, this is a smart thing to research BEFORE pregnancy :).
It is really quiet! I'm actually having to do work. That's no good!
Just talked to my thesis buddy, and we're making party plans. Evites should go out in the next day or so. SO excited! It's gonna be a great big, fabulous party! SO excited!

Yup. My life doesn't really allow me to be impulsive on this subject.

Yay, party!
sj, your best bet is probably going to be blogs. I can poke around some of the mother blogs I know and see if I can find anyone with a similar situation.

I would really appreciate this if you can find the time. Most of what I am finding is information on raising a child who has a disability and information on raising a child if you are in a wheelchair.
What is it in particular that you're looking for, sj?

I'm not really sure, to be honest. I won't be able to easily carry a child once they get to a certain weight, so advice on how to handle that. Bending into a crib to pick up a baby may be difficult. I'm also looking for the millions of little things that may come up that I haven't even thought of.
