Senior portraits
I'm just now looking into senior portrait options for my daughter, and am having a really difficult time trying to choose a photographer. I have narrowed it down to 3 studios. The one that has pretty decent package prices also has a very high session fee, or at least I think it is rather high. Her session fee is $125, compared to a $40 fee with one studio, and another with no session fee at all. I guess the difference is that she does spend about 2 hours with the senior, and she also drives them to a friend's house who has an absolutely beautiful outdoor setting to work with. She said she stops at a pizza place along the way to give the kids a break and treats them to a snack. The studio with the $40 session fee has higher priced packages with fewer photos in them. I am leaning more towards using this lady, but the sitting fee is bothering me a bit. Is $125 reasonable for a session fee for senior pics?
Senior portraits
The $125 is just the sitting fee. However, I'm looking at around $350 to $400 by the time I'm done choosing the portraits and whatever extras we decide to go with. I'm okay with paying for the portraits. It's just the session fee that I'm curious about...just wondering if that is a typical charge for a session fee. I guess it could also depend on the area you live in though.
senior gifts
Not sure why, but a senior once told me they love getting writing paper and postage stamps.
My first day of college. He was a senior, I was a freshman.
We didn't date until the end of my sophomore year and after he had graduated, but we were part of the same circle of friends. When I first met him, he was listening to a transister radio with a single earpiece. (Anyone remember those?) He was waiting to hear when Led Zeppelin concert tickets were going on sale.
We've been married 23 years, and are still going strong. (And our youngest child will be attending that same university in the fall.)
I am some years your senior, but still young looking and seem to SM
be attractive to men. However, I found that men felt they had been there, done that. . . and the only thing they were missing was what you pointed out. I literally met a man who was married and divorced five times. Thanks, but no thanks. For me he HAS to be a nonsmoker, very occasional drinker, etc.
My sister and I agree that after we were with a man a time or two it already became quite evident why he is divorced. I know this is not always the case, but very often it is. I met a man one time, and I must respect this, who told me sadly that he had the most wonderful woman in the world and he cheated on her and lost her. He said he takes 100% responsibility for the breakup. He said it was the worst mistake he ever made in his life. There are exceptions to every rule, but more often than not I found the ones who were looking for one thing and had no desire to begin again and have a future with someone.
I have a 17 year old daughter, a senior.
She actually doesn't ask to be out during the school week. She's in drama club and working on college applications and homework. If she did ask, I think as long as her homework was done I'd probably let her be out until about 9:00. Her bedtime isn't until 11, but she needs the wind-down time. Weekends, it's midnight.
How old is the child? First grade or senior in
xx
First day of college. I was a freshman and he was a senior.
We didn't pay too much attention to each other, to be honest, but we ran in the same crowd of friends. I kept running into him at parties and bars (back when the legal drinking age was 18 and I could hang out in a bar as a teenager.) We eventually took serious notice of each other and started dating. We've been married 24 years, and occasionally we still go to the pub and have a drink or two.
senior citizens babysity toddlers
Dear toddler hater,
A while back someone got the idea that all those people in the nursing home should be playing with all those kids in daycare! Guess what! It did not work! Why? Because old people were jealous of the kids. So the great american experiment failed and now the old people sit in their diapers alone and the kids get to go the movies with their moms while their dads are in Iraq!
Sincerely,
Defender of yucky, loud toddlers.
That was me my senior year of high school.
Since kindergarten for me, I was always above average in school. I was always on the Honor Roll. I always did my homework. I always cared about my grades. In 9th, 10th and 11th grades I still cared. I was in the National Honor Society and still making As and Bs. If I made a C, I was crushed. Then my senior year of high school, something changed. Keep in mind, that the summer before my senior year, my dear Aunt passed away suddenly and we were very close. That year, it seemed like I just stopped caring. The classes I were in had none of my friends. My lunch period had none of my friends. I just usually stayed in the library during lunch. That was the 1st semester. I still did my work and tried to do good. Then the 2nd semester hit and I really stopped caring. I quit doing any school work and that was HIGHLY unusual for me. I was just so sick of school. In March with only 2 or 3 months to go til graduation, I dropped out. All my teachers called because they were just so shocked because I had always been such a good student. The counselors came out to my house and talked with my mom and thought I had social anxiety, but I wouldn't talk to them. I don't know what happened. I just knew that I hated school with a passion and couldn't bear going anymore. I spent like a year wasting around and then I knew I had to get my diploma. So I went to the community college and got my GED. And then I went on to college and got my Associate's. I think that nowadays, they just make school so aggravating and hard for kids. There are horrible teachers who don't care. They depend so much on students passing these end of grade tests instead of going by their grades throughout the year. Such as my cousin for ex., she in in 5th grade and had ADHD. She is in a special class. So far this year, she has made only 1 C. The school sent out a letter half way through the year saying she is in danger of failing. Now, does that make any sense? No. She does great in school but on those end of grade tests, she just does not do good. So, if she fails the end of grade testing, even if she was on the Honor Roll throughout the whole year, she fails her grade. That is NOT fair. The school systems are just stupid i think. I think a lot of kids, once they get to high school, are just so sick of school and how things are, they just don't want to care anymore. I am sure your son will get over this slump. But with me, I dropped out but I still ended up with a diploma and going to college, so I am sure he will turn out fine.
A Very Costly Kiss: Senior Denied Diploma
For teens, there is no greater joy than graduating high school. Shaking off the shackles of education and claiming that hard-fought diploma is truly an epic day. Unfortunately, for several students at Bonny Eagle High School in Maine, their natural exuberance has led to some surprisingly serious problems.
On Friday night, when the senior class was waiting to graduate, excitement began to grow. Students bounced a large inflatable rubber duck. The noise level rose. And then came "the kiss." When called, one student walked on stage to receive his diploma and blew a kiss to his family. The school administrator, clearly not the sentimental sort, sent the student back to his seat ... sans diploma.
The seemingly harsh punishment has sent the Web all aflutter. Searches on "student denied diploma" and "bonny eagle high school" are both through the roof. Additionally, blogs and news papers are chiming in with opinions on whether or not the administration overreacted. The student's mother has given interviews and is quite upset at her son's treatment. According to an article from Fox News the outraged mother said, "A bow, a kiss to your mom is not misbehavior."
But the administrators feel they were just enforcing the rules that students agreed to. At a meeting following the debacle, school superintendent Suzanne Lukas said that "if a student doesn't adhere to the expectations, then the consequences are clearly spelled out."
This isn't the first time that rambunctious (dare we say "fun"?) behavior affected a graduation ceremony at Bonny Eagle. "Four years ago we had some issues with silly string and beach balls," said Lukas.
Now it is considered, get this
astronaut stress. Well, I have QA stress. Anyone got a knife?
Well have you considered
dental hygiene? My other sister does that and last I heard made around $200 a day. She has a 2-year degree.
Have you considered a Kodak? sm
I just bought a Z712 IS, it is 7.1 megapixels, with 12X optical. It is really nice. I just upgraded from another Kodak with 4 MP and 10X optical that I've used over the last 4 years, taken thousands of pictures (daughter's high school years and marching band - some pictures even made it into the yearbook). So, was really excited about getting one with 7.1 megapixels, and 12x optical. Tried a few shots last night and they were great. Anyway, they have them on e-bay. We've been really happy. It is considered refurbished, but was never used before. Not a problem with our old camera.
and at what point is it considered
is it okay to spank as long as you only do it 3 times? or maybe if you only hit on the bottom? or maybe you "spank" with a belt? or whatever other object you can get your hands on?
The problem with spanking is some adults don't know when to stop. I, too, was beaten with a belt as a child and I have never laid a belt to my children and never will. Spanking with a belt is BEATING. I was "slapped" across the face numerous times as a child for speaking out of turn, and to this day, I still wince when my mom gets upset and raises a hand. It's not respect for my parents that I have in these instances, its fear. It's a shame that too many adults have come to confuse the two.
Have you considered Dyson? sm
We have had a Dyson for about four or five years now, and I adore it. You just would not believe what all it picks up. Hubby and I both have allergies AND indoor cats, and if we use the Dyson as often as we should, we can tell a significant difference. We bought ours after trying a friends. They are lighter weight than the Rainbows and Kirbys, and also have an added advantage of being significantly cheaper. Just a thought.

But a lot of things are considered sins...
Like living together, sex outside of marriage, even using birth control of any kind, depending on your religious beliefs. Yet all grocery stores carry magazines and tabloids that report on celebrities and other people doing those things and more, and books (fiction and nonfiction) with that kind of thing. Why are those books and magazines with hetero sins any different from the ones with homosexuality? Isn't sin, sin? And it's everywhere, so how far do you want to take your boycott? I really do respect your opinion and your right to it. I just don't quite understand it.
I don't understand why some people seem to have such a seething *hatred* of homosexuals. I mean, gay people are just people, like anybody else. Some good, some bad. I don't want to know what they do in the privacy of their own home, but I don't want to know what hetero people do in the privacy of their own home, either! Either way, as long as it's two consenting adults, why would I care? It's none of my business.
BTW, I just saw Brokeback Mountain on HBO for the first time the other night. I thought it was heartbreaking. To think that two people who love each other so much could never really be together. How is that okay? (Yes, I know it was fiction, but it happens/has happened in reality.) I just think that's so incredibly sad. Don't we need more love in this world?
Okay, off my soapbox!
It is considered a double negative, sm
and not standardly use. Use "regardless", or "irrespective". It is considered bad grammar.
considered quality foods by whom? sm
I have heard many negative things about both of these pet foods for years. I do not consider them to be quality foods, by a long shot, and this was even before the tainted food scandal. That's what I am talking about.
Considered being the driver instead of the passenger?
I too have RLS. I have found that for some reason I do much better as the driver than as a passenger. Can't explain it but it's true.
Have considered it before - would they listen to me, his wife? (sm)
Would I have to show proof?
What exactly is considered Middle Class?
Unless I heard wrong last night, during the debate, $250,000 is considered "Middle" class. I don't think so.
Anyone?
18 IS legally considered an adult.

Well, there's an angle I hadn't considered...
Good point, longtimeMT...I hadn't considered the possibility that her 'type' are usually the ones on the boards of HOAs. The ones who think they know what's best for everyone.
I'm giggling so hard at her ludicrous posts that I fear I might wet myself. Talk about pretentious! I'll take my cozy little apartment with my hubby and pets and the WARMTH and LOVE therein over her snooty TRACT HOUSING any day.
Too bad she doesn't appear to realize she isn't IMPRESSING us, she's ENTERTAINING us!!!
What is considered appropriate if a neighbor's relative passes away. SM
My neighbor's uncle passed away. She and I are friends, but not best friends, we basically see each other every day as we walk our dogs and we talk every day. Her uncle just passed away and I was unable to go to the wake. The funeral is today, but I cannot go to that either. What is the appropriate thing to do here, a card, flowers, what? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
Have you considered a home equity loan to
pay off all your credit cards?
Have you considered Florida? They have some of the most beautiful beaches I have
ever had the pleasure of walking on in the U.S. My son was stationed at Eglin AFB in Florida; he and my DIL lived in Ft. Walton Beach, and I would go there quite often...I immediately fell in love with their beaches..I usually don't like sand but theirs is white and very fine..they don't call it the Emerald Coast for nothing. The people are very friendly and I had the time of my life there. I also love to fish and they have the best seafood. I am a native Californian but I LOVE FLORIDA. They have a very special place in my heart...just an idea for vacation..

Make sure whatever you use for skewers aren't considered a weapon by the school. sm
Some schools are absolutely militant about anything that even looks like something that might be used as a weapon, no matter the reason or who has it.
