Go back to his post (#37). He said 6 INCHES.
I think Sexy was refering to something other than his height.
<Sheesh, I can't believe nobody caught that!>
Oh I noticed , but I refused to reply to his personal ad.

Upstate - private and public. The decision will come down to the money. I don't think it's wise for him to graduate too heavily in debt. Was thinking 15-20K would be alright but more would be a hardship I think.
That was our thought as well which is why the ex and I split her first year and then we did 1/3 for the remaining 3. We used the ex's income for the FAFSA as it was lower than mine (not by much) and Megan received a couple of scholarships so it worked out to about $10K/yr out of pocket for a school that charges $28K/yr and she graduated with about $15K of student loans, which I had been paying but she has since taken over as of the first of the year as she has a good job as a teacher
I've heard that private colleges do a lot for you the first couple yrs to lure you in then not so much the last 2 yrs - true?Not in Megan's case. Everyone seemed to go out of their way to help her when needed and she had no problem when she asked for letters of reference before graduation.
Public vs private?
A lot of factors come in to play when making this decision but the number one is money. It is very hard to justify $100K or more for 4 years of college when you can go to a state school for roughly 1/4 to 1/2 of that. An increasing number of students are deciding to live at home, which does save money but, to me, part of the college experience is living in the dorm. Commuting students tend to miss out on a lot of the college experience.
Another possiblity is starting at a 2 year school and then transferring to a 4 yr. Our local 2 yr school, which my son attends, offers a direct transfer with full credit to our local 4 yr school. The 2 yr school charges about $4K/yr. Is the quality of education the same as 4 yr school? No, but the gap is narrowing and it is a good start.
you ain't kidding.
who are you, mr t, now?
Thanks Ms. P! I am not going to stop posting here I was just thrown. I will have to read the orignal posts better next time. I love this site and UPS and everyone can say whatever, I have thick skin. Kinda!Steve - I did the same thing as your daughter for different reasons. My dad had cancer and no way was I going to risk going off to college if he might die (which he did). Good for her that she got back on track.
BM / Over9.5 - FAFSA pretty much told us right after that I didn't qualify for any free money but I figured as much.

Sexy - Buck up buckaroo! I think you would be missed if you stopped posting. It's not everyday that we have a #1 fan. UPS is a tough environment in every aspect and we all develop a wicked sense of humor and thick skin because of it. Just think of what an insight you are getting into Daddy's life!
I knew you could do it.I was up to 327. I hit a plateau at 280. Then we got telematics and because I walk off more stops to avoid backing, I'm down to 272. I'm aiming for 250 and If I hit that, I'm gonna see where I can go from there. I might have to change my name to Not So Big Babooba!
6'2" tall - six inches makes a difference.Hey Big-
Lebron James goes about 270 and he looks ripped. I take it you are not 6' 8".
I fill out that ^$&^#%! FAFSA every year, and have yet to get anything from it.
This is the truth. Quit your job, go on welfare and your kids will go to college for free.
This is why my brat decided to let Uncle Sam foot the bill for college. But in a way, what a price to pay...

You're freaking tall, BigB!
LOL @ Brat!
Yeah right, you're such a sham..........................................wowIf that's tall, you'd hate to stand next to me... 6'5" Almost pushing 6'6"...

Thank you, Over. I'm gonna miss the hell out of him, but what do you do?
Steve, you've got to know what I mean. And if not, you're incredibly
lucky. "Brat" as in the magical age when they suddenly know everything about everything and we parents are dumber than squat. When the answers to our questions consist of one word, if we're lucky. God knows I didn't think I knew it all at 18!!!

Someone on another forum had it as their avatar... I just had to [-]steal[/-] it.
