I did some googling and it seems like $100 per person would be appropriate.
But, since it's my best friends sister I'll give a little more. I like the idea of 88.
So I'll probably do $188.

Thanks.

Let the good times roll...

21-year-old Ohio honor student wins stalking order against helicopter parents who monitored her Internet use and phone calls - NY Daily News

21-year-old Ohio honor student wins stalking order against helicopter parents who monitored her Internet use and phone calls
Aubrey Ireland’s parents wanted to keep their daughter close – so close that they installed tracking software on the 21-year-old’s phone and computer so that they could monitor every site she visited and every person she talked to.

It was “like I was a dog with a collar on,” said Ireland, a music theater student at the University of Cincinnati.

After three years, the college senior had enough. A judge granted her a stalking order against her parents, the Cincinnati Enquirer reports. David and Julie Ireland have to stay 500 feet away from their daughter at all times and can’t get back in touch with her for a year.

At first, her parents were supportive. Even though Aubrey was offered full scholarships to other acting schools, they agreed to pay for tuition at their daughter’s school of choice.

Aubrey has been on the dean’s list throughout her time as a student at Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music. She often won leading roles in the school’s musicals.

But despite her success, the Irelands’ behavior became more erratic. The helicopter parents would often show up at their daughter’s college unannounced, even though it was a 600 mile drive from their hometown in Leawood, Kan. David and Julie Ireland told the musical theater department head that their daughter had mental issues and needed to be treated. They accused her of being promiscuous and taking illegal drugs.

“It’s just been really embarrassing and upsetting to have my parents come to my university when I’m a grown adult and just basically slander my name and follow me around,” Aubrey said during a court hearing.

Although Aubrey said their accusations were false, the parents had another card up their sleeves. They admitted that they were electronically tracking their daughter’s Internet use and monitoring her phone calls.

Last year, the student told police that her mother had assaulted her after showing up at her apartment in Cincinnati, according to the Daily Mail. Her mother countered that accusation with one of her own – she said that her daughter was the one who had assaulted her.

Aubrey eventually cut off all contact with her parents. But that didn’t keep them away. The school hired security guards to keep the Irelands out of their daughter’s shows. When they stopped paying her tuition, the school offered to pay for her senior year of college.

When her parents told the University of Cincinnati that they were going to take her away for mental evaluations, Aubrey decided to take action.

On Sept. 24, she filed a civil stalking order against her parents. At a Dec. 10 court hearing, Julie demanded that her daughter pay back the $66,000 her parents had spent on her three years of college. When mediators suggested that the parents, not the daughter, were the problem, the Irelands said that Aubrey was “a good actor and lying.”

“She's an only child who was catered to all her life by loving parents,”' Julie said in court. “We’re not bothering her. We're not a problem.”

Judge Jody Luebbers ruled that, as an adult, Aubrey is allowed to live her life according to her own wishes. The stalking order remains in effect until at least next Sept. 23.

^^ Agreed.

I got a spray tan last year, and that doesn't really help at all.

Your abit late to start getting a base tan from UV beds, but like murd0c said. Go now and start 3x/week. Also talk to the people working there and see what they think.

Both fascinating and sad.

do swiffers work well on hardwood or laminate to just clean dust and dirt?
or do they leave lots of stuff behind. i have a microfiber sweeper but i dont like having to toss the thing in the wash after every use.

IMO dry swiffers work great on our hardwood floors for dust and misc particles. then the wet swiffer. if you don't try to pick up dust bunnies etc with a dry first and go straight to a wet, you'll get dirt rolls and they might not get picked up well.

FYI you can get cheap dry wipes at daiso for $2 a pack WAAAAAAY cheaper then swiffer's dry pack

if you track must in to the house you might be using some elbow grease to wet swiffer the dirt out.

EDIT: Actually, this link is better. Has video in it to show you how it works. I recall wifey telling me this is the only thing with a liquid cleaner that is safe on hardwood and laminate floors.

Use 20% off flyer coupon you find in the local papers or any competitor's coupon (Home Outfitters). In fact, I think Home Outfitters carry the Bona for the same price, too.
