So my daughter called my last night crying because her Sorority put her on Finanical Probation which means she can't participate in any of the formal events or anything that sh'e been working on until her bill is paid.
After doing some checking, it seems I overlooked the $6k for room and board for this year. She's living in the Sorority house and I completely missed the fees that should have been added onto her student loan to cover this.
Can I amend the loan to include this? If so, how fast can they get the fund to her?
Man, I feel horrible, cannot believe I missed this.

Damn.So sorry to hear that Stu. :(My dad died unexpectedly on Feb 26th. Had a heart attack in his sleep at 6:30am and was gone.Only 61 and seemingly in good health. Exercised basically every day. Weighed 180 or so. Never smoked. He had a physical just 10 days prior, which found an increase in cholesterol up to "borderline-high" levels (229). My mom had a completely normal Saturday with him, and then hours later wakes up to him taking his last breath.

Good luck fish, hope everything turns around for you.I deactivated my account, not deleted it. I'll probably reactivate it when I get my life sorted out. I just need to disconnect for a while. I'm still going to hang out here. as has been true since my marriage blew up over three years ago, the amount of support I get from the folks around here is truly astounding and humbling (and sometimes comes from some seemingly unlikely people). I've slept more than 3 hours 4 times in the last 17 days, and 0 last night. can't tell if I'm rambling.In the last two months:1. My 7 year old said she was so sad she wanted to move 1000 miles away to be closer to familyx. I suddenly lost a woman I loved who I was prepared to share my life with, and I still have to see her every day at work* I was forced to cut a dear friend out of my lifeiv. My friendship with another close friend is on the rocksq. An amazing career opportunity that I've been working on for years suddenly evaporated14. My job, which I was prepared to leave, is now necessary but has been threatened.Several of these things are made more difficult by the instant access that FB provides into other people's lives. Most of these things were caused by my own short-sightedness.Stu lost his Dad, which is probably going to happen with me soon as well. I don't want to diminish that with run of the mill depression.I have this facebook tracker thing installed.

Episode 1 - Scene 1
Upon falling asleep at 1:30am after a night out with two old friends (and by old, I not only mean I've known them since 1996, but they are like Tanner's age or something) at the venerable Cheerful Tortoise across the street from Portland State University, where the Miller High Lifes in a tall-boy can flowed like the Willamette River and the bar trivia was dominated by the three oldest men at the bar by a factor of a bunch yielding such awesome prizes as a pair of Captain Morgan Thongs and another Vuvezalla (sp?), our nefarious leader awoke sharply at 7am on the couch with his pants around his ankles, turned off Showtime, rubbed his sleepy eyes and unlocked the door seconds before his two young sons came barreling in to begin the journey that will be THE MOST EPIC DAY IN SPRING HISTORY BREAK EVER!!!!!!! (that doesn't involve nudity, drugs, donkies, a beach or a monster truck)To wit: My sons brought over a ginormous stack of old photos that their mother cleaned out and sent over because, as Cooper informed us, "they are duplexes".There are hundreds of old photos in this stack - pictures that I thought I'd never see again or, more accurately, had forgotten existed. You divorced dads can understand this, especially those old enough to recall the days of "film" and "getting your pictures developed at Rite Aid".
After taking my car into my mechanic down the street at 8am for its 109,321 mile tune-up, I came home and scanned a photo I thought I would share to you all in an effort to spread the fever that is and will be a Ferris Bueller sort of day. Only we'll be using public transportation. Oh, and Cooper has a cough that sounds like he has Coal Miner's Lungs, so I can't wait to see the looks we get from other transportation users. No fever and I just made him use the Neti Pot (should have filmed that) so we'll roll out regardless.
Oh, and I have two stocks up over 10% today and my wife made me coffee before she left. Wining?

Condolences. I know it sucks because I'm pretty much in the same boat. Dad (63) just dropped in front of my mom while walking out to the car on the morning of March 3rd. Never struggled, was getting CPR in under a minute of it happening, EMTs there in under 10 minutes. He was done before he hit the ground. Only thing different is that my father was not 'seemingly in good health'. Spent most of his life overweight and smoking, but had quit smoking and weight was getting back to a normal level. He had diabetes and a kidney transplant in '06. We feel pretty safe in saying that because of that transplant we got 5+ years out of him that we shouldn't have. It helps ease the pain, but doesn't take it away, especially when he went unexpected. I had to tell my grandmother / his mom. Hardest thing I've ever done. I've been through too much death lately. Between my family and my wife's, this is the 5th death since June of '08. Only advice I can give is that the only thing that's going to heal you is time.My dad died unexpectedly on Feb 26th.

I would call the student loan office ASAP, as I imagine this sort of stuff happens all the time. Also, I would email the treasurer of the sorority and the treasurer of the sorority board (likely an alumn) and explain the situation. No matter what your daughter may know, these are the types of things that they deal with all the time; so hopefully some sort of plan will be worked out and then you'll be back on good graces with your daughter.'Mr.Pack said:So my daughter called my last night crying because her Sorority put her on Finanical Probation which means she can't participate in any of the formal events or anything that sh'e been working on until her bill is paid.After doing some checking, it seems I overlooked the $6k for room and board for this year.

Mega millions
Financial wise guys say you take the lump sum payout as
that would net you more money. That's fine. Here's the question.
Why not take the payments for 26 years instead of trying to
manage a portfolio worth hundreds of millions?
I would want to spend every waking moment doing something
besides looking at bond/stock markets. 10 years down the road
your going to be doing some of this even with the payments.
You receive hundreds of millions of dollars and your going to
say "i know exactly what I'm going to do with all this money"
I don't think so. Why replace the everyday stress/hassle of
bills/work with one huge job of trying to manage your money?

Sorry to hear. Telling my son was pretty brutal.In seconds he went from flying high (had just returned friends from his birthday sleepover) to crushed. But he was also sweet... at one point composing himself enough to say "it must be even worse for you Dad".Condolences. I know it sucks because I'm pretty much in the same boat.

My sister calling on the way to the hospital was also rough. My mom had already told me he was gone but wanted to tell my sister in person, since she would be there soon. Of course I didn't realize this until after answering my sister's call, noticeably shaken. I couldn't muster much more than a few "ok's" and a "love you" while mouthing to my gf "she doesn't know" and "what am I supposed to do".
Worst day ever. Though it easily could have been worse... happening the day prior on my son's birthday would have put a dark cloud on that day for a long time. Or even worse... happening two or three weeks prior while they were on a cruise ship in New Zealand or Australia would have been a huge cluster####.

Amazing how you tend to look at the 'what ifs' and realize how much worse it could have been. 20 minutes later, he could have been driving the car with my mom in it. I didn't have to tell my son. I was with my mom at the hospital, so my wife took care of that part. Makes up for me having to tell him that his grandmother (wife's mom) died unexpectedly 2 years ago in Feb.Sorry to hear.

Like I said, 5 deaths since 2008, so my 12 year old son has been through a whole bunch the last couple of years. With his grandfather's passing, he held it together pretty well for the first couple of days. The first day he was going back to school, that morning he just stopped what he was doing, looked up at me and completely lost it. When I asked him if he was ok, he replied 'I didn't just lose my grandfather, I lost a friend.'
What the hell do you tell a kid in that situation. One of the few times in his life that I was at a complete loss for words.

I just did taxes for both me and my parents. Weeks of work. Mentally and emotionally exhausting. Had to sort out and properly categorize and deduct the entire retirement home build from over the last two years. I am really looking forward to a stiff drink in about an hour.

Weird kid is on a roll. Talking about 3-Mile Island today. I used Chernobyl as an example of an actual nuclear disaster. Showed them some photos of the abandoned city (Pripyat). Explained how it was still radioactive.
Weird kid raises his hand: Could you get a zombie-bear out of there?
Me: Could I what?
WK: Could you get a zombie-bear out of there?
Me: I don't know what that means.
WK: Could you get a zombie-bear out of there?
Me: Are you asking me if a bear living there would become a zombie or if I could rescue a zombie-bear from Pripyat?
WK: The first one.
Me: You realize there are no such things as zombies, right?
WK: Well I guess so but I didn't know there were places that are radioactive.
Me: Excellent point. Let's take out our study guides now.
