Participant[quote=eavesdropper]Tell him to forget the pork rinds. I’ve got dibs on that part of the job.[/quote]
Now, now, now, eavesdropper, I understand your position, but don’t get ahead of yourself just yet. I also have an ex-H that “has everything” and in the past has proven to be “litigation-happy.” Every other month or so, he expresses a desire to “`rehash’ things again.” I always tell him the same thing, “You know I’m in the business of accepting `service of process.’ You know where to find me.” I’ve been “waiting for papers” for a few years now and so far, nothing’s turned up – LOL!

Participant[quote=Scarlett]. . . My point is, the kids would be happy in any school, they can’t discriminate at this age. So that’s why as a parent I am choosing for them to the best of my knowledge – within some limits. I am not going for the very best. Yes, it is up to the kid, but the schools and the demographic help a lot too.
30 years ago, only 30% of high school grads went to college. But in my age group, I think the % is at least twice that, if not higher. I don’t KNOW anybody in my peers who didn’t go to college.[/quote]
I was just saying that the goal of elem. school is to become socialized with other peers (in primary grades) and develop a hunger for future learning. The grades in elem. and middle are not factored in for college admission. I think attending a higher-scoring HS with say, more AP classes offered (like AN suggested) is the “bottom line.” Elem. and middle school grades don’t matter as much.
Actually, I’m in the demographic of 35-40 yrs. since HS grad – LOL. The only reason I posted a 34% degree college-degree rate is b/c many in my demo. grp. obtained college degrees in our 20’s and 30’s at night as adults, when our spouses were home taking care of kids. In my day, it was not uncommon to marry *before* HS graduation and appear at the grad. ceremony “livin’ large” (not me, tho) in a cap and gown (females, that is) read: shotgun 🙂
Unfortunately, most of the good “union” jobs in SD that could support a family on a GED or HS Diploma are GONE now.
My first apt. in SD was a spacious 1 br unit near Laurel St SD overlooking the entire bay and PL Lighthouse for $140 mo. (incl utils). I worked PT as a waitress/wine steward for a “union-shop” establishment and saved a TON of $$. Back then, it didn’t cost even 1/8 of what it costs today to live a modest life :{

Participant[quote=AN]I would remove 92121 and add 92126 instead. The problem with 92121 is that it was built right around the bottom of the last cycle, so most of those owners don’t really need to sell. Which causes a lack of inventory. The lowest I’ve seen any houses in 92121 sold is high 500s. Those 1500 sq-ft single story don’t come on the market too often.[/quote]
Well, 1500 sf is not big enough for Scarlett’s family, so revise her zip shopping list for me, will ya, AN?
