Your Questions About Fafsa

James asks…

How do I figure question 88 of the FAFSA application for my self employed single parent?

My mom has filed a 1040, and i need to know what lines on the form are needed to complete question 88 of the FAFSA> For question 87 I have her AGI. Would the question 88 be the same number?

Michelle answers:

Question 88 asks for all the money earned through working wages, tips, etc. So yes, this would include any profit she made from her business.

Later in the FAFSA it will ask a question about the value of businesses owned by the parent, but you will only fill this in if her business employs over 100 people. If it does not, leave it as 0.

Mark asks…

How long before change of schools registers on fafsa?

I was going to go to University of Texas at Dallas. I changed my mind last minute and am now going to go to Texas Woman’s University. I am all accepted and registered for classes and everything. I did get sent financial aid for UTD, did not accept it. I just corrected my FAFSA and changed the school.

My question is, will they still send me financial aid for this school? Payment is due very soon, on Aug. 24th. If so, will it go through on time?

Michelle answers:

It will go thru to your school usually within 24-48 hours but its up to your college when they get it processed. So you should call your financial aid office

Mandy asks…

Will a delayed response time to FAFSA tax verification effect my award amount?

I go to Portland community College and I filled out the FAFSA and found out my EFC is *0. My parents still haven’t filed their taxes and neither have I. My parents owned their own business in 2008, so taxes are a time-consuming process. What if it takes a few weeks to respond to the verification? Will that effect my award amount?

Also, because on the FAFSA they had not filed, I had to guesstimate, what if it differs exceedingly from the actual taxes?

Michelle answers:

Your EFC may change (and prob will change) if you used estimated information. Using estimated info also increases your chances of being selected for verification to begin with (as you have found out).

The only way delaying turning in your verification paperwork will effect you is that it will delay when your award is finally processed and ultimately awarded. No school will create a financial aid package for you with incorrect or estimated information. You will have to get those taxes done (and turned in to the fin aid office) before they will do anything.

If it’s just a few weeks, I wouldn’t get terribly worried, but if your parents start filing extensions, then I’d be a bit concerned. It is no fun starting school with no aid awarded!!!!

John asks…

What is the minimum summer hours required with using FAFSA?

I am paying out of state tuition, which FAFSA won’t cover completely, so what is the minimum hours during a summer semester that I am required to take. I know fall and spring is 12, is it the same or less?

Michelle answers:

It kinda depends on the school but summer term is usually 1/2 as long, so you will go to each class for twice as long or twice as many days per week. Full time in summer is usually considered to be 12 credit hours and half time is 6 credit hours because of this.

Your Questions About Fox News

Susan asks…

Why do Obama supporters constantly attack Fox News as if its the only news channel offered?

Are they not content until they control all the news mediums of CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, and CBS?

Or are they unaware that Fox News is just one of many news channels to choose from but the only one that doesn’t preach and project the message they want America mesmerized under.

Or is it because of their frustration that Fox outperforms and outnumbers the other news channels in terms of other news media than all the other networks and has done so for several years now?

Michelle answers:

The folks you mentioned are sell-outs. They carry Obama’s water and most folks know it.

FNC is the only outlet that the Dear Leader Obama doesn’t control. That freaks him out. His irrational attacks, both direct and through proxies are all I need to prove my point.

Carol asks…

Should FCC ban all cable news channels except for Fox News because all others are pushing government agenda?

Fox News is the only fair and balance and unbiased news channel. They do not take sides of one President or the other. That is why they are the most watched news channel on the planet.

Michelle answers:

Fox is pushing Murdoch’s agenda not yours

Steven asks…

Should the Obama Administration start a war with Fox News?

The Obama Administration sure seems to be taking a lot of jabs at Fox News. Could they win a war with Fox? We all know how it worked out when they tried with Rush Limbaugh. His ratings went through the roof.

Michelle answers:

Fox’s ratings are already far superior to even some network news. They get blasted for telling the truth because the other networks are all as your pic says… Bending over. Especially NBC… MY GOD! I can’t even watch that channel anymore.

Laura asks…

How accurate is Fox News’s intel on the New Black Panthers?

They’re saying that the New Black Panthers outnumber the police 5 to 1, that they’re getting assault rifles and rocket launchers, that they’ll be getting armored trucks, nuclear submarines, and B2 bombers, that they’re making a biological weapon that can turn white people into black people, and they’re going to declare a war on Christmas and behead Santa Claus.

What else should we know about them? What isn’t Fox News telling us?

Michelle answers:

Well i guess the thing you are not getting is what would happen if the kkk sent members to the voting booths,
this would be ok right?
And you are not a racist right? Because you do not care if blacks do this to whites right??..

Your Questions About Firefox

Daniel asks…

Whats the difference between firefox, google chrome, and internet explorer?

I’ve always had internet explorer and I never used anything else. What can google chrome and firefox do that internet explorer cant?

Michelle answers:

1) The ECMAScript interpreters are different. IE crawls on complex Javascript. Firefox is much faster. Chrome is faster still.

2) Firefox is much more secure than IE, handles popups better, etc.

3) IE renders sites differently than most other browsers. What this means is that if the person writing the site doesn’t write special code for IE (many web developers don’t), what you see in IE isn’t what the developer wants you to see.

4) IE is more “in your face”. If it hits code it can’t handle it stops. If you have debugging enabled it pops up a debugging window. Firefox just ignores the error, makes any assumptions that appear logical, and carries on. Usually you don’t even know that there’s been an error.

5) If you want to add things to the browser, IE has a few add-ons. Firefox has thousands.

Download both Firefox and Chrome and see how they work.

Mark asks…

How can i start firefox with a message to restore the last session?

I used to have a pop-up message when i start firefox to restore last session but now it’s gone. I need it in case i accidentally close something and i want to go back into it. Anybody know how to do it? Thanks.

Michelle answers:

You might want to check the box to warn you when closing multiple tabs (Options>Tabs tab). This will keep you from accidently closing FF.

To get the Restore Last Session/Start New Session option, Firefox must be forced to close without using the normal close options used.

It is best not to force a closure in Task Manager unless you are absolutely sure the process you are closing does not need to save or clean up any operation before being forced to close.

If you are going to close your Operating System anyway, just let FF stay open and do not respond to the multiple tabs box. Windows will shut down and, the next time you use FF, you will have the option to Restore or New session.

Maxthon and a few other browsers have this option built in to it. Maybe one day, FF will, too.

Sandy asks…

I have many setting in my previous windows in Mozila Firefox, now I’ve installed an onother version of windows on other hardisk.
What should I copy to have the same settings, history and bookmarks from the earlier one?
Nothing is lost I just have an onother windows in another hard and I want to move the mozile setting from the previous to the current one.

Michelle answers:

Install the FEBE add-on on both computers.

If you have FF3:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/febe/

If you are using FF4 or 5:
http://softwarebychuck.com/febe/febe70.html

On the old one, create a backup of all your passwords, cookies, bookmarks, preferences, extensions, history, permissions, etc.

Copy them to a flash drive then restore them on the other computer.

Also, if you want your bookmarks, history and opened tabs always synchronized on both machines, install the XMarks add-on:

Your Questions About Fedex

Steven asks…

How much worse is it to ship a computer USPS than FedEx or UPS?

FedEx wants $150, UPS wants $200, and USPS wants $30 for parcel post or $80-90 for Priority/Express. I’m moving and the computer is proving to be the hardest part.
I have the original box and I’ve been packing and shipping stuff on eBay for years, so I’m confident in my ability to make a safe container.

Another option is to take the tower as my carry-on on the airplane and ship my components.

Michelle answers:

Send it priority mail insured. Make sure you remove the HD and take it with you on the plane before you ship it.

Susan asks…

If i placed an order for fedex overnight express when will i receive it?

I placed the order tonight at around 10 pm. I paid 21 extra dollars to have it shipped as soon as possible. I chose FedEx Overnight Express. Can anyone tell me when I can expect to receive my order? Thanks!

Michelle answers:

Kinda late.

Probably wednesday some time

William asks…

What prevents one from stealing a FedEx account number?

When FedEx packages are shipped there is an account number printed on the slip. Couldn’t you just write one of those numbers down and use it on your package? Once the accounting department sees the unexpected item, your package has been delivered and charged to the wrong party!

I am not trying to steal in any way – I am wondering how to protect my own small business. Thanks!

Michelle answers:

Well, you could. But Fed Ex knows where the package was delivered and could easily find out where it came from and go back to the person that sent it.

Mark asks…

How long does FEDEX take to ship something?

Ok I order something from dell and they are shipping my customized computer via Fedex ground shipping. That status when I was tracking was “en route” and the latest event was that it left FEDEX office. How long would it take to reach my house?

Michelle answers:

If you track the shipment on FedEx.com, the system will give you the “expected” delivery date. Should be in the upper left hand corner of the tacking information.

Your Questions About Facebook

Laura asks…

Is facebook and other social networking sites a distraction from God?

Facebook is nice to keep in contact with others, but I notice that some people spend many hours updating their statuses and checking in on the lives of others and trying to keep up with the Jones’s so to speak via facebook. In your opinion would you say that facebook takes your focus off of God? Should good christians have facebook accounts? And what purpose does facebook serve to the serious christian.

Michelle answers:

My sister-in-law is a fine Christian and she and the ladies at her church use Facebook to help them organize functions. She also uses it as a way to “spread the word” so to speak.

David asks…

How to reactivate your Facebook account even if you have been reported?

A friend of mine had recently been in a fight with a couple of people over Facebook. What those people did is falsely report her and said that she was either threatening them or using nude pictures on Facebook. So now she can not use her Facebook profile due to the report. So how can you get around it and use the account as normal without having to create a new account?

Michelle answers:

Gotta email facebook and ask for a appeal and they’ll look into it and see if she can have it back. BUT they don’t usually block facebooks unless they check it and the reports turn out to be true.

Betty asks…

How does Facebook arrange friends on the chat list, search bar and friend list?

I have noticed that people whose profiles I view more frequently are higher on Facebook searches, and possibly also on the friend list on my profile, etc? Is this coincidental, or does Facebook take profile views into account when ordering lists of my friends and search results for me?

Michelle answers:

I take the list to mean my most recent visitors…top being the most recent.

Charles asks…

How do Facebook ads work and should i set one up for my schools yearbook?

I’m in my schools yearbook class and i came up with the idea of making a Facebook ad for us. how do Facebook ads work and how much money does it cost? I figured if we each chip in some cash and target the ad for people in our town we could get people pumped for this years book! Comments or other advertising ideas are much appreciated, thanks guys!

Michelle answers:

You can set up ads that link people to the Facebook page, or another page about your yearbook. The amount it costs depends on the cost per click that you set when you set up the ads.
Here’s where you set up the ad – http://www.facebook.com/ads/create/
And here’s some information on how to do it – http://www.facebook.com/business/ads/

Helen asks…

Who’s Your Favorite and Least Favorite Food Network Star?

My favorites is probably Giada because I love italian food and my least favorite is sandra lee because she is so annoying and i don’t know why food network has to have someone on there to show us how to bake a cake mix, lol! I like pretty much all of the foodnetwork people though, so what’s yours?

Michelle answers:

I agree 1000000% about Sandra Lee. How can they let her use lines such as ‘Now just add one more one.’ And I’m pretty sure she might be an alcoholic? Just a thought.

I love Paula Deen. I would love to go to Georgia just to eat at her restaurant. She may not be the healthiest cook in the world, but her food sure looks good=]

As for the guys, I like Alton Brown because he is, without a doubt, the smartest of the entire network. Least favorite guy would have to be Michael Chiarello, just something about him irritates me. Not exactly sure what.

There are many facebook users who do not like the new profile and are not able to get rid of it. This seems to be a good way for facebook to lose a lot of users.

How do you make facebook emails go into one folder?

My inbox has 4000+ emails from facebook. Its killing my inbox. I want to know if there is a way that i can make a folder called facebook and all the emails from facebook would automatically be there. BTW i am using windows live hotmail so yeah.

Michelle answers:

Check one of the Facebook emails and look for a menu or something like that that gives you options for what you can do to that email. Look for something like “filter” or “label” and you should be find an option to filter messages like this. Make sure you apply it to all mesages

if not, if you’re like me, you can create a whole new email devoted to facebook. Just create a whole new email and in your facebook account, you can edit your settings so that that is your new email for facebook. You can still log in with your original email address and pw, but just have your notifs and emails sent to this new email.
