Beans have protein. I don't have a frying pan because someone borrowed it and never gave it back :| And I have like 10lbs of rice, and no eggs, and no money, so I'll stick with rice because I can eat a ton of it at least I won't FEEL hungry.

I have a gallon of milk too, so I've been drinking ovaltine :|

To be eligible for financial aid for the Spring semester I had to provide a copy of my tax transcript to my school. Which is amusing because I didn't LAST semester after submitting the SAME information.

Anyway.... 6 weeks later, packet from the government comes in. Apparently the address they have on file doesn't match mine. Class starts in a week and disbursement happens in two.

I call the tax office today and magically my information is now correct and I'll have my tax transcript in 5-10 days. Which will still force me to pay for classes up front and then be reimbursed.


I love the government.

I had an issue last Semester, I tried to sign up for one semester of Financial Aid, but apparently it gets automatically spread between both semesters of the year.

What happened was I had half the payment and got a notice a month later saying my bill was due. I was charged a $100 dollar late payment fee.

It might be worth it to find out how much the late payment fee is and just eat it if you don't have the cash available.

Those stupid tax forms. They do it at random here. Sometimes you're lucky sometimes you're not.

Rice is good enough for a billion chineeses, so it's probably fine for human consumption. I believe my uncle slaughters his cows this month, if you want me to try and overnight some beef to you.

As long as it's cow beef and not man beef... maaybe.

I'm considering it. Worse case scenario I can throw the balance of the semester on a credit card, I just hate having to.

Somebody stole my stun gun and spare coaxial cable from my super secret Lisa Frank tackle box at work and I'm not happy about it.

[AnticorRifling]

LOL coaxial cable.

[Drakefang]

LOL coaxial cable.

Careful, she uses it to choke out smug men.
