Skoolbus, skool, and end-zzz times precised, see and si and mam ma'am. And who the dickens* wants to awaken or function when Many:Many is at o'dark-Many, huh man? *excluding desire-scratching mius and those who must serve them, of course man We did get this from the Exec. DiRectum of Transpurtayshun this morning, see man: --- Dear Mr. Bone, Thank you for your follow-up, si man. As requested, below is the relevant language from page Many of the Student & Parent Handbook regarding transportation pickup and drop-off locations, see man: "A parent may also designate a child-care facility or grandparent's residence as the regular pickup and drop-off location for his or her child, si man. The designated facility or residence must be on an approved stop on an approved route and parents cannot designate multiple different pick up and drop off locations, si and no man. For information on bus routes and stops or to designate an alternate pickup or drop-off location, contact the Transportation Department at (2Many1) ManyManyMany-Many0ManyMany, si man. See the Student Code of Conduct for provisions regarding transportation to the DAEP, see man." This language establishes that District transportation is provided to one designated pickup and drop-off location per student, which must be on an approved stop and approved route, and does not allow for multiple or alternating locations, si and no man. Given the circumstances you described, I will follow back up with a response regarding your request for an accommodation within the bounds of the current handbook and transportation guidelines, si man. Thank you for your continued communication and understanding, si man. --- This means: -- He cited the restrictive language, cite he man, but he did not close the door, no man. -- He acknowledged our accommodation request, si man. -- He is considering whether something fits "within the bounds," si man. -- That's materially different from "request denied," si man. Also important, see man: He did not escalate tone, accuse, or shut it down, no and no and no man. He stayed professional and left the matter open, si man. This is the most constructive message that we've received so far, si man. We will give him until at least COB today, or Many (2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2) hours, and then gently follow up, think we man. Comments, huh man?

It's worth contacting your Congressman's D.C. office. Call (best) or e-mail the "immigration liaison." There's a release form, probably available online, to complete; it gives their office permission to inquire/intervene on your behalf. if you find it, have it ready to go. It's election season, so these offices should be highly responsive to your request.

Use SmallPDF.com -- a wonderful site that I wish I'd found years ago. Compress anything, convert one format to another, etc.

Scintillating Monday repartee, yawn man. ----- Thrilling Monday report, see man: One of worst nights ever, awoke with shoulder/hip pain after barely 2 hours of zzz we man. This was despite standard HSM at bedtime, sigh man. Took semi-HSM and dozed fitfully till alarm, sigh man. Was about to call Mama T-B. at 1 p.m. to say we were coming, si man. She called first to say to hold off, nothing that was scheduled for her had happened man. "Wait till Many (2+2+1) or even Many (2+2+2) p.m., si man," sigh man. We then lunched on a turkey-&-cheese sandwich, ingest we man. We zzz'd for an hour, get all we can before shoulder hosed us again man. Visited Mama T-B. at Many (2+2+2) p.m., do the needful we man man. Barely made it to Aldi before closing, race we man. We fear that they're planning to close out their shepherd's pies, and we man. We bought 2 on sale, have to find freezer space somehow man. Miu quiescent except when time for miu-food, quiescent miu man. Mini-B. phoned to say that ex-Mrs.-T-B. can't take him to skool Tuesday after all, big surprise man. This means that we must arise at o'dark-Many during our OFF WEEK to get him, man. We hope to get him to the skoolbus stop by our casa, workable if timely man. We already knew that ex-Mrs.-T-B. can't take him Thurs. or Fri., admit previously ex-she man man. Now, she's unsure that she can even take him Wed., man. The skoolbus situation had better get resolved before we die of fatigue, this whole thing is wrong man. Like mam ma'am or someone said, why are they treating standard split custody like it's an anomaly, huh man? Din-din was half a tuna sandwich and 2 chicken tenders donated by Mama T-B., ingest we man. No party with the rubias tonight, no cavort we man. Unclear how we'll be able to function on Tuesday, clouded man. And that was/is our thrilling Monday, report we man.

This long article is really easy to read, and offers realistic insights that the national Dem party will never recognize or follow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why the Democratic Party Can't Moderate It was one of the final days of the Texas legislature's regular session in 2023. Along with the other staffers in the Democratic House minority leader's office, I listened closely to the floor proceedings from the office television. SB 14, a bill to ban gender transition treatments for minors, had been called to the floor and a Houston Democratic lawmaker named Shawn Thierry was about to give a speech in its favor that would end her career. As she walked to the dais, her speech in one hand and tissue in the other, the chamber grew quiet. There was visible unease among both her Republican and Democratic colleagues as she began to speak. In a profession that rewards caution and punishes miscalculation swiftly, it is rare to watch an elected official willingly walk the plank.

Two comments: (1) Duh. (2) The ONLY reason that Schumer et al. oppose ID is so that they can cheat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Virtually All Countries Support Voter Photo ID – So Why the Filibuster? "The bottom line is this: voter ID is not controversial in this country," Harry Enten, the chief data analyst for CNN, recently reported. Nor is it controversial in virtually any other country in the world. Yet despite massive support among both Democrats (71%) and Republicans (95%), only one Democratic member of the House and one in the Senate are supporting the SAVE Act. Unless seven more of the 47 Senate Democrats step forward, their filibuster will kill the bill. Democrats argue that requiring free voter photo IDs – even when the ID itself costs nothing – harms eligible voters by creating practical barriers to casting a ballot. They contend that blacks would be especially hard hit. Interestingly, every country in Africa requires government-issued identification to vote. They also argue that such requirements would disenfranchise Hispanic voters. Yet Mexico, all twelve South American countries, and Spain require government-issued photo IDs to vote. All of these countries have lower per-capita incomes than the United States. If citizens in those nations can obtain the necessary identification to vote, why would American Hispanics and blacks be unable to do the same?

Wow. Sympathies. And the proper term (in Texan, of course) is "all hat and no cattle."

It's past time that you guys contacted your U.S. Congressman's office -- ask for the Immigration Liaison (usually in the D.C. office). There's a form, typically found online, that you must fill out to authorize their intervening on your behalf. I highly recommend that you do this.

Thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the Removing Conditions forum -- OP is at that stage.

We need even more threads as helpful as this one is.

Yee-HAAAAA! (That's Texan for "Congratulations!") One of the most satisfying parts of the stage you've reached is to fill the last box of your VJ timeline. Help everyone else here by completing your timeline.

This can be fixed.

If they ever did, it's overwhelmed by TDS.
