Lulz someone forgot to look at the demographics of said towns
I know next to nothing about that out there, I just think Dave is funny. And you will have to drive through oakland to get to SF right?
Yep. These places were the “nice” burbs for people who wanted 10/10 schools and not deal with sf shit, and leave their doors unlocked at night. But SF really scaled back their work”ers” which imo is leading the price declines.
Not gonna lie given that myself and woman worked in sf at some point and may again this is why we’re close to here also. There is public transit that takes you in, in 30 min
All the retaining walls we had to have built were way over our budget for them, so the rest of the yard development had to be put on hold. We just let that shit grow wild, but I’m sick of looking at it, so I’m having someone come cut it all back and hit everything with weed killer next month. We’ve got a fence finally being built at the end of October, so I want it cleared for them to be able to do their work too. Once the fence is up we’ll start slow rolling getting the earth tilled in spots and adding some sod and other stuff.
I’m sure it will be really nice when complete but that’s a lot of work for sure. We have an area of the backyard that we just let go wild. It’s mostly tall grass now that we pulled out the weed flower things. But we have no idea what to do with it. I might take a weed whacker to it next week.
Picking up two weed whackers from a neighbor on buy nothing today. They don’t work but I’m pretty sure it’ll be easy to get them running again. It’s generally just a spark plug issue. Two stroke motors are simple things.
My big issue with my yard is all the mosquitoes. They’re everywhere. And I can’t seem to get rid of them no matter what I put down or traps I put out. So next year we will be majorly thinning out the plants so the ground can dry up between rains.
Part of why we were okay with letting it go wild was that it was all so green and a lot of them had pretty flowers, but now that the rains are gone and the heat came through it’s all brown and dead and looks like trash. Luckily most of the surrounding homes also are younger couples still getting established and only a handful are really keeping up with lawn and yard maintenance. Lots of newborn babies here in the last year, and now I totally understand them not having time for that shit.
Will be fun for Kaeilani to have a bunch of kids her age as she grows up.
Michelle has been providing supervision hours to therapist trainees for this clinic in San Diego. It’s part of some grant program where over two years of doing the work for them she gets $50k in student loans forgiven. For the amount of hours she puts in, that’s a payout of about double her hourly rate she bills clients, and tax free since the money is sent directly to her loan holder.
A few months ago when it was time for the clinic to submit her paperwork, they sent it to her to verify and they had a bunch of information wrong. She sent them corrections and got an “okay thanks” back. She just got a notice from the grant program that her application was denied. If they fucked up and didn’t make the corrections and she doesn’t get that money due to their negligence I’m gonna rage hard on her behalf.
Might need some legal assistance from our Palm Desert brother if they can’t resolve shit on their end. My thought is that if it was negligence on their part in submitting the application wrong that we go after them for that $50k, or calculate the rate of private supervision in San Diego and how many hours she worked and go after that, which I think would be higher than $50k.
Did something dumb the other night and thought you all might get a good laugh out of it. Left a water bottle slightly open in my bag, which is waterproof. Which means the water pooled in the bag.
Water poured out of the laptop when I pulled it out. It sat soaking in there for an hour while I drove back from visiting parents.
Took it apart to let it dry out and inspect it, looks like the logic board is untouched, so it’ll definitely turn on again. Audio board had a bad time but I scrubbed off the corrosion with some isopropyl yesterday and there’s a chance it might still work. Worst case scenario I don’t have working audio.
Gonna give it a couple more days to air out and then reassemble.

Man…. this is wild if they’d committed to paying the loans. Hope they do the right thing and stick with paying the loans.

Damn man, hopefully it dries out. I’ve thrown coffee cups with a tiny bit left on my backpack a couple of times. Def not great.
I’d welcome wrecking my work unit at this point though, thing is a turd.

It’s an odd situation as the clinic doesn’t pay the loan themselves. They’re the go between between whatever grant program pays the loans and Michelle. So not sure how we’ll navigate that. But it’s the worst possible timing with the newborn.

So can you request the info from the clinic proving she satisfied the requirement ? Then do you have a contact for the grant program ? Seems like that should be fairly easily sorted.
But I know how it wouldn’t be … I have been fighting a 84k bill from the irs for 7 months and 12-14 people later it is “resolved” but it isn’t because every time you speak to a new person who doesn’t know shit. The government is incredibly inefficient and inept at even the most simple tasks

The government is bad and the clinic seems worse. Everything was hunky dory the first 9-10 months of Michelle “working” for them, and then weird shit started happening. Apparently the woman who owns/runs the clinic already has a handful of lawsuits filed against her.. :doom:

BREH, that blows. I'd be super pissed, esp when FJB is out there trying to forgive every swinging dick with an art degree for no reason. She has put in actual work.

Nope.. you put in your two years and then they submit your application for the loan payout.

Do you have a contract with the clinic in San Diego that states the duties of each party and ramifications we failure to comply?
Like Max said, best bet is probably to contact the grant program directly.
I don’t think her contract with them is that formal to where it has ramifications, but she does have something. I’m having her gather all of that stuff for me so I can start putting stuff together while we give them a few days to respond to her email yesterday.

I mean the question is ... do you have it in writing that say X hours works results in Y reduction in debt. That key piece of info needs to be in writing from the place of employment. If anything was verbal this will be a long and painful battle with likely no results.
Also this seems like a really random thing ... never heard of something where you work XX for a reduction in student loans. Unless it was the whole public sector thing that takes 10+ years of being employed + below a certain income cap etc, and working for the gov.

Oh, yes we do have that in writing.
And yeah it is an odd thing for sure. Michelle’s friend did it and once she did her two years and got the loan forgiveness she recommended Michelle to take her spot, so we had no reason to think there would be any fuckery.
Hopefully I’m making a mountain out of a molehill, the clinic will resubmit the corrected paperwork with no issue and we’ll be good to go. But I’m prepared for the worst based on some of the shit Michelle has said happened recently between the clinic and the interns she’s been supervising. Will elaborate later; we’re at Kaeilani’s two week check up and Dr. should be in any moment.
Also... I know we're getting a bit on the personal side here. But why does she have student loans when her parents are this wealthy? It seems like an unnecessary burden for you guys to carry especially with the kid considering. Pawpaw is just swimming in dough.

IF it worked for the friends you're probs ok.
Here’s to hoping.
I’m sure I just got extra riled up about it yesterday due to lack of sleep, emotions running high, etc. Just felt like another brick on our backs.

That’s a great question. Especially as I’ve seen the in-laws fund her younger sister doing dumb shit like this acting academy in Dublin and then in New York. I’d wager everything I will ever own that she will never make it as an actress, and they know they’re just throwing money away. But, they coddle the fuck out of here. She has very severe bi-polar and I think they feel guilty that it went undiagnosed as long as it did and that she almost killed herself jumping out a second story window because something she as seeing told her that if she didn’t she would die in her room. It’s really sad to see, but also, at this point they are 100% handicapping her by treating her the way they do.
From what I know, they paid for Michelle’s undergrad. She didn’t do great there due to some mental health stuff, so I’m not sure if that’s why they didn’t fund her graduate degree or what. But she was also duped into going to and paying for USC so maybe he just wasn’t down with footing the bill for a private school like that? I think their financial situation has also changed a significant amount in the 10+ years since Michelle went to grad school.
