I’m so glad I’m done with all that!! My son also needed me to do everything for him. He still would if he didn’t have a wife who keeps me at a very long arms length away from him and my granddaughter. So now I only have to look after everything for my husband instead. Ah well, it cuts down on the number of times a year I have to replace someone’s ID!a

My son went into plumbing. Apparently everyone now wants to get a college or university degree and there is a shortage of people in the trades as a result. It could be different where you are, but here in Canada that’s the way it is. As a result, the tradespeople are making really good money - higher than in the past, depending, of course, on which trade you pick. About 10 years ago a first year electrician was making over $100K With Ontario Hydro without ever having to climb a pole!

I’m really sorry to hear about the rescinded scholarship Opal! School certainly isn’t cheap and you’d have been counting on that money. Now it’s a likely a scramble to try and replace it. You might try looking into what other scholarships are offered. I’ve heard that some can go unawarded because no one applies for them - people don’t realize they exist. I’m not sure how to go about researching what’s offered but you might ask the school or try online.

I’ll be sending you beans soon, Opal, as I just hit level 120 tonight. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time!! I’m at the top of the fixers it seems, but I’ve still got some passes that I can’t send. 😾 But suddenly it’s not letting me send out gifts when I TT. Has anyone else run into this?
