Thank you for your well wishes, Layback40!

She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in economics from her undergraduate college's School of Business in May. A remarkable, hard working student, my niece is.

Great to see you're here, LB!

Still about.
Dont bother logging on most of the time.
I just comment when I see something important.
Between work & moderating on a site, I find there is plenty to keep me occupied.

My Brother has always cash-flowed up to $71K per year out-of-pocket earnings sending each and every one of his kids to private Catholic Universities or Colleges around the Country. So, no loans there. Our parents cash-flowed our private school educations, so that's his template/example to go by on that. This would be the first grand scholarship earned. Four kids down, (graduated) two to go.

Great to hear the positive responses today here!
SRJ - much to do about nothing. Your niece's clever gene is inherited from the mother side, not from the father's ( your family ) side, I am afraid.

Why $$$ always appeared, implied, inferred in your posts? Can't you just post her achievements instead of $$$?

Odd to mention someone's income. Typically not something one discusses.

(gushes) Joe, we're all so happy to hear about your niece. Owing to your minority status, I have to ask: Was she the beneficiary of affirmative action policies during this process?

I can already sense this thread going down the tubes and I do not like the premise behind this thread.

Congrats and etc etc but no need to flaunt around how much money you have and what not. I do not appreciate it.

I know that this isn't about a relative, but I threw a ball out into my backyard today, and my dog ran after it and brought it back.

Sure.

Is it OK if we call you "penniless loser"?
