Is she talking about making that “special type” of yeast bread?

Solar has taken wintering ground from migrating birds (waterfowl). Rice fields converted to solar.
Please complete the scam next week. Go to Best Buy and get that TV as an open box buy!
Cow truck fell off and a melon truck too. Littered the playground underneath.

I remember the locals were filling their cars with melons.

Why are there dogs running around all over the place off leash? Dog park? Disaster waiting to happen.

I prefer the Benelli Montefeltro over the M2 in 20g. Little smother in recoil.

Look at 28g SBE3. You will enjoy the guage down.
I paid $4.50 for a bag of Bugles this weekend. I had Boursin cheese in the truck cooler. Paired well with the finger-hats.
We are going to open hunting everyday during Teal instead of SWFS weekly format.

Wanted limited reduction over a days reduction. We are private, shorten days seen as a member experience reduction.

It’s been going around Houston for a few weeks. Enjoy!

Thanks for the Katricians.
Find the school where you kid is in the top 25%. Those are the schools that
1. Want your kid, which means they will pay.
And 2. Your kid has better chance to finishing four years or less.

Think about it, kid takes an extra year of school, then your cost go up 20-25%.

There are services you can pay to find where your kid fits in the best and where will give him the most merit. They are expensive, but if you have multiple kids then you lean the process.

Check the services reviews. Have to figure out their motives. Some are affiliated with certain schools to funnel kids. Some try to steer you into investment options as a way to finance college. The service they provide can be good, just keep one eye open to their motives.

Search school website to see how much they offer for merit. Don’t be shy about asking the schools for more money. It’s a car deal. If they want your kid, threaten to walk; they likely will find some money.

If your family earns over 125k combined then don’t even think you are getting need based money.

They are counting federal loans and grants. That number is not all scholarships. Someone has to pay for the scholarships.
