I strongly encouraged my kids to go to the cheaper state schools.
And I didn't buy higher SAT scores either.
I really don't get the whole concept.

Normal, realistic people don't. Kid doesn't qualify, try again, study more, different school, etc. Loughlin pays 1/2-1 million for a very contorted and complicated scheme' to a guy who isn't employed by the school. All she had to do was endow a position to the school. It's slower, but legal

I'd like all of them to do at least 1000 hours of community service, speaking in ethics class or to high school senior's classes and then picking up roadside trash.

Jeez, what a pain in the ass this Real Id is. Send away for birth certificate, can't find SS card, won't take old expired passport as proof of anything, no current 1099 with full SS number on it. Then to top it all off, birth certificate reads " Barn Dix Buster" but I always went by "Dix Barn Buster" since age 5 and it reads as such on all my docs. FML. Glad I don't really need to fly anymore.

My drivers license expires 4 months before the deadline next year.Jeez, what a pain in the ass this Real Id is.

I have my original SS card and a birth certificate with a seal stamped into it and I'll have a current driver's license to take in to DMV where you can get real ID here.
That's going to work?
They don't want a 'long form' birth certificate, right?
I never even heard of a long form until that conspiracy idiot wrote that book about Obama wasn't born in the US, and when he produced it they said it wasn't the 'long form' one.
And why do they need to know who we are but they didn't care about DB Cooper?

You've got the important ones as long as the birth certificate has a embossed seal from the state (not the hospital) and names match the only other thing is proof of physical address. Your state has a Real Id site of what docs they accept.

I'll have to look closer at my birth certificate later.
It looks a lot like a car title if I recall correctly, I sure hope it's from the state.
I tried to do all this online but if born before 1970 here, you're fucked.

All I needed was my blockbuster card
All she needed was ...
There's a final gotcha too. I got my Real ID and about 6 months later received a letter I had to return to confirm my address. So apparently some people they follow up on. So far my husband hasn't received his follow up but it's not been 6 months.Jeez, what a pain in the ass this Real Id is.

maybe it's just you lucky CA folks?
Residents who got the new California REAL ID are learning that some may not be valid. It is a situation that could impact up to three million Californians.

Interestingly I came in with more than they needed. I figured they'd screw it up somehow. They asked for 2 when I got mine. Oh well I have a current passport so if I need to fly, I can. If that's not good enough I have a pilot's license. So if I get really fed up I can do it myself!maybe it's just you lucky CA folks?

So I didn't really think of a better place to post this, not really of the state of mind to figure it out but just wanted to throw this out there as I'm distraught and looking for some comradery.. My friend, a young woman only 19 (I'm 33) years of age committed suicide about a week ago by hanging herself. She was a beautiful soul and a very kind person, putting herself as the last point of concern at the benefit of everyone else. My buddy (her boyfriend, also 19) is in disarray, much like myself we suffer from depression and alcoholism, he contemplated suicide in the wake but thankfully abstained. This fucked me up and I've been on a several day bender trying to cope. I'm sad and depressed, and angry that someone like me that doesn't give a shit about being around is still alive but this wonderful person isn't. IDK thanks for listening

Oh man, Lost, I am so sorry to hear that your friend committed suicide. Do you or the boyfriend have family close by? Many on this forum have had this happen to them as well. We are all here for you brother.

Yes thankfully and in many ways unfortunately I live with my family (try being in your 30s and bringing a chick home) but at the same time I'm eternally grateful. I think it's absolutely made me reconsider suicide well before reuniting as a family, I can't imagine abandoning my niece or nephew, I have so much to teach them and instill empathy and altruism, a basic moral compass.. But unfortunately my buddy M, he suffered the accusal of the responsibility for this tragic death (and omg the details are brutal), the family accused him of the death, claimed it was his responsibility (or I guess lack-there-of). I reassured him that was certainly not the case, but he is still broken up by it. Shit just hit hard.
