Your Questions About Facebook

Sharon asks…

How do I share yahoo answers onto my facebook feed?

I linked my yahoo account to my facebook. Only my questions show up on my facebook wall, but not my answers.

How do I get my answers to show up on my facebook feed?

Michelle answers:

Check your settings on your PULSE page:
http://pulse.yahoo.com

Under “Settings” (top right), check “Manage Updates” and also your linked accounts (not sure of what they call that part). See if there are any detailed settings that allow you choose exactly what does post and what does not. Also, when you answer a question, check the part just ABOVE the SUBMIT button and see what it says. For example, mine says: You have chosen not to share your updates from Yahoo! Answers. It includes a link to the “Manage Updates” part there that I might use to make changes.

However, this may not fix the problem, because there may be an issue regarding the privacy of the person asking the question. If I choose NOT to share my updates – and I post a question and you DO share your answer updates – you are violating MY privacy by posting my question on your Facebook. Same with you now posting this question and me answering it, I would guess. My answer is now on your Facebook page – and I might not want that to happen. Which may make me reconsider answering any questions by people that show they are linked to Facebook here.

Maria asks…

How to post a video from facebook on Youtube?

Is there a way to post a video from facebook on Youtube? Without having to remake it. I want to post to song I made on Facebook onto youtube.

Michelle answers:

Youtube has a feature,where you can upload videos from youtube to Facebook and Twitter when you upload a video. I’m sure if you put in your information, Facebook will automatically inform others that you uploaded a new video.

Your Questions About Fox 23

Linda asks…

How much do you think a person who is 5’3 should weigh?

I weigh 118 :/
I feel fat even though im not 🙁
Megan fox is like 5’8 and weighs 100ish pounds.

Michelle answers:

Depends on your body shape and genetics. People who have thicker genetics can be healthy at 150 pounds. Some people who have smaller frames are heatlhy around 100 pounds. It honestly depends on you. I’m 5’3 and a size 12 and my BMI is 23 (healthy).

118 is a normal weight to be at if you are 5’3. Personally, i think its a little thin, but thats just me. And don’t base your ideas off of celebrities. Its their job to be thin (most of the time). People like Megan Fox have trainers and they workout 5 or 6 times a week for hours on end.

Ken asks…

Seniors, What effect does all the local & World News have on you ?

How do you handle it, in your mind ~~ Are you afraid, worried or could you care less ?
As for me, its on my mind 24 / 7. We watch the news a lot on various stations. Mostly Fox to get what the other stations don’t reveal. We have to know whats going on in the world as well as local. Seems to be more evil every day. I am an active christian and an American. I will not vote Obama 4 more years again. That’s the only thing I know for sure.

Michelle answers:

Back in the early 70’s, there was a song that said “there’s no good news today” I can’t remember the person or group who made that song…but nothing’s changed today…still no good news.
But to answer your questions, I don’t fear the coming changes because these things were foretold in the Bible…man does not have the answers/ only God does, so there’s need in sweating what you can’t change. 2Timothy 3:1-5

News medias are sensationalists, they like to put fear into the hearts of men, I believe half of what I see, and none of what I hear. As a Christian, we are to put our faith in God. Jeremiah 10:23 tells us that it does not belong to man who is walking to even direct his footsteps. Men come and go with all their promises and lies. I’m looking for the Kingdom that will never be brought to ruin; the one that will stand to times indefinite and NEVER be passed on to human hands. Daniel 2:44

Nancy asks…

How are we supposed to trust the government to figure out how to process 12 million people?

I’m not a big fan of Newt Gingrich’s Republican-bashing, but on Fox News Sunday he made a good point about the aspiring terrorists arrested Saturday in the JFK plot:

Three of the terrorists had been in the US for 23 years illegally, intercepted by the police 75 times in the last six years.

I am glad the plot was foiled, but from Reagan to present, we have failed to prove that we have a clue as to how to deal with the immigration issue.
Investigator isn’t living up to his name. If anyone made it up it was Newt on Fox News Sunday. Look it up.

Michelle answers:

That is part of the reason that I’m am for building a fence .

And your headline portion of your question is interesting in more ways than one . How can we trust them to process 12 million. . . . .? Well , how can we expect to even ‘find’ the 12 million if we don’t offer some type of incentives ?
This line has been drawn many times in my lifetime . Each and every time they say this will be the last time , and it’s not . Short of having a ‘police state’ there’s no way any government can find 12 million people , let alone ship them all back home . That is why I’d like to see this time be the last time . I’ll begrudgingly agree to the proposal , but only if and when some type of finalization is added to it . Like a fence and border patrols , and , strict enforcement including strict punishment . We must stop drawing new lines , and make this one the last line !!

Chris asks…

How badly will that old fart McCain crash after the double talk express derails?

You republicans really think you are going to win. Black guy or not any democrat will beat the mess out of McCain in the fall. The republican brand is worthless thanks to your god Bush You idiots picked the most liberal of all republicans and expected to hold up against a democrat.

Michelle answers:

It’s actually worse than that. Secret Exit polls taken by Faux News show a real softness in Mcain’s support.

Due to a multitasking foulup at the RNC Internet Disinformation Center in Bombay, (The place where investigators believe most of the Anti-Obama internet troll posts originate,) a compilation of data from Fox News Repubican Primary exit polls which the Fox Editorial Staff never intended to even show Rupert Murdoch, much less release, recently fell into the wrong hands–mine.

When I opened up an e-mail asking to confirm my address for a Walmart order I had never placed, (the RNC cuts costs by doubling the outsourced facility as a spam center,) I found instead of the usual form requesting my name, address, Social Security Number, numbers of my bank accounts, mother’s maiden name, and pet’s name–the information shown below.

According to Fox News Exit Polls from the Republican Primaries:

19% of Republicans who voted for John McCain said he was “The Best Candidate to lead us into the 19th Century.”

16% of Republicans who voted for McCain said they did so because he was the Beloved Leader Bush’s handpicked successor.

23% of Republicans who voted for McCain said, “He’s too Liberal, but he’s the best chance we have to keep the B—-h and the N——r out of the White House.”

12% of Republicans who voted for McCain said that they would have voted for Ron Paul, but felt that he didn’t have a chance.

17% of Republicans who voted for McCain said, “Hey the Precinct Captain gave me a half pint of Scotch and a list of names. It was my Patriotic Duty.”

13% of Republicans who voted for McCain said, “John MCCAIN???? I thought I was voting for John MCCLAIN!! You know, Die Hard? Yippee Ki Yay? Aw crap!!!!”

Your Questions About Fox 23

Nancy asks…

What sins did the Deers did and why it is surrounded by the animals ready to kill ?

Even having so many oppositions to the life, how the deers survive in the forest ?

Michelle answers:

1) Prey and predator:

It is not due to the sin of deer or the punya of the other predator. It is the law of the jungle. A predator is an organism that eats another organism. The prey is the organism which the predator eats. Some examples of predator and prey are tiger and deer, lion and zebra, bear and fish, and fox and rabbit.

Predator and prey evolve together. The prey is part of the predator’s environment, and the predator dies if it does not get food, so it evolves whatever is necessary in order to eat the prey: speed, stealth, camouflage (to hide while approaching the prey), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to find the prey), immunity to the prey’s poison, poison (to kill the prey) the right kind of mouth parts or digestive system, etc. Likewise, the predator is part of the prey’s environment, and the prey dies if it is eaten by the predator, so it evolves whatever is necessary to avoid being eaten: speed, camouflage (to hide from the predator), a good sense of smell, sight, or hearing (to detect the predator), thorns, poison (to spray when approached or bitten), etc.

2) Eco Balance is the secret of the nature:

The cub of the tiger can not eat any other thing by itself. But the frown of the deer can eat grass by itself.

Within natural systems, everything eats something; the predator–prey relationship is part of this world we inhabit. Natural systems achieve balance and sustainability through the process of creatures killing each other for food, in a species hierarchy that has evolved over thousands of years.

Mahabharata, Book 3, Chapter 199, verses 23 & 24:

Dharmavyadha said to Kausika,

‘sarvam vyaptam idam brahman pranibhih pranijivanaih
matsya grasante matsyams ca tatra kim pratibhati te”

“sattvaih sattvani jivanti bahudha dvijasattama
pranino nyonyabhaksas ca tatra kim pratibhati te”

“This whole creation, O Brahmana, is full of animal life, sustaining itself with food derived from living organisms. Dost thou not mark that fish preys upon fish, and that various species of animals prey upon other species, and there are species the members of which prey upon each other?”

3) Ready to kill whom ?

The surrounding of hut of a tapsvi in a dense forest is different from the scene depicted by the questioner!

There are number of references for a homogeneous environment in a tapasvini’s place. The Parnasala – originally meaning a hermitage made of leaves has, apart from its meaning of simplicity and spiritual significance, it will have a friendly atmosphere. Only one example is given here.

Mahabharata, Book 13, Chapter 14, Verse 42:

(Rishi Upamanyu’s hermitage hut surroundings):

” ???????? ?????? ????? ????? ???????? ? ???????
??????? ????????? ???????? ???????????”

‘kridanti sarpair nakula mrgair vyaghras ca mitravat
prabhavad d?ptatapasah samnikarsa gunanvitah’

The mongoose sported there with the snake, and the tiger with the deer, like friends, forgetting their natural enmity, in consequence of the energy of those ascetics of blazing penances and for their proximity to these high-souled ones.

Animals do not kill even their natural enemies!!

Joseph asks…

Do you find liberals irrational nonsense about FOX News to be amusing?

It’s very hard to respect liberals as a thinking group of intelligent people when they believe in and propagate such irrational nonsense about a news organization that is does nothing more than lean to the right to fill a niche that the mainstream media ignores. Jeez… open your minds.

Michelle answers:

Somewhat .. But it doesn’t bother Fox:

Your Questions About Fedex

David asks…

what is the procedure to buy laptop from usa to bangladesh by fedex?

I would like buy hp laptop from USA (amazon.com) to Bangladesh. I want this package to be forwarded by Fedex. Now, do i need to pay any import duty or custom duty or any other fees? And, is there any better option available other than Fedex for forwarding the package.
I have no plan on buying laptop by my relatives staying abroad.

Michelle answers:

I would suggest you send the Laptop by DHL or “Air Parcel Post”. FedEx is not very efficient and user friendly in our part of the world. DHL is synonym for international courier in Bangladesh. I have found the following frequently asked Questions & Answers relating to Customs duty and other taxes where you can see that Laptop doesn’t entail any Customs Duty. However, other taxes and fees are to be paid when the package is opened and evaluated by Customs officials.

Question: “I am a Bangladeshi citizen living in the united states. I want to send one laptop to one of my poor relatives living in Bangladesh by mail for his educational purpose. That poor relatives does not have any ability to pay customs duty and other taxes to receive that laptop computer. My questions are:

1. What is the customs duty rate and other tax rate will be for the laptop if I send that by mail?

2. Is there any way I can prepay all the duty and taxes while mailing that laptop so that my poor relative does not go through any hassle? If yes, can you please let me know the process of advance paying?” Un-quote

Answer: “1. You can send a laptop to your relative in Bangladesh. If you send it by any passenger using Baggage benefit, there will be no Customs duty and any other taxes.

2. If you send it by courier, it may take some charges depending on its price, weight etc.

3. Laptop is a duty free item at this moment.

4. There is no provision of advance payment. Better, you can send some money to your relative to pay the relevant expenses.

5. Obeying the legal procedure is not hassle. It is responsibility to all.” Un-quote.

Hope above helps.

Carol asks…

Can you go to FedEx Office to receive a tracking number for a package?

I’m trying to track a package but the person who sent it out doesn’t have the tracking number. I don’t feel like calling so is it possible to go to FedEx Office and receive a tracking number? How do I show proof that it’s me? Thanks!

Michelle answers:

No. The shipper is the one who should have the number. Don’t even consider Office, you need someone more experienced the the Fedex system. Calling is your only hope and it’s extremely slim. Probably the best you can hope for without the number is to call and ask for an eta when the package comes in, when the driver on your route has it they can then call you with the eta.

Sharon asks…

How much longer will it take for FedEx to deliver?

So I ordered a package from FedEx on Monday night, saying it’ll arrive on February 1st or before. It’s coming from Irving, TX and so left Texas on Monday Night, and was in transit. Right now, about 40 minutes ago it said it arrived in Independence, KY which is a little more than an hour away from Louisville, KY where I live. Since it’s 5:00 right now, what are the odds I get the package today?

Michelle answers:

You will more than likely get it by tomorow. They will will drop it off at the main hub in ur city and dispatch it off in the morning nd you will get it in the afternoon. Im a supervisor for UPS. The way we work is the UPS picks up and drops off a trailer nd unloads it. Nd from there we divided it by zip codes nd dispatch… So you should get it by tomorow if you dont you can call nd try to get a refund
good luck

Robert asks…

What time does FedEx start delivering in the morning?

I ordered some live animals and they are arriving tomorrow morning. I HAVE to be there to sign for it, and I want to make sure I’m awake when they come. What time is the earliest that FedEx starts their delivery runs? I am on the west coast in PST (Pacific Standard Time) if that makes any bit of difference.

Thanks so much!

Michelle answers:

They transit 24 hours.

Your Questions About Firefox

Chris asks…

How to customize my firefox navigation tool bar?

I know this sounds easy, but there’s an issue with my firefox. It occurred after I updated Vuze (but not sure if vuze is actually the issue). This amazon and ebay icon appeared on my tool bar and I can’t seem to get it off. It’s quite annoying since I never go on either website and it takes up space on my tool bar. I’m using a mac lion btw.

Michelle answers:

The Amazon and ebay icons mean that you have an add-on installed. If you don’t need them, you should remove the respective add-on(s). Go to Tools in the top bar of Firefox and select Add-ons (or press Ctrl+Shift+A). Select Extensions in the Add-on manager. Now identify any add-on related to Amazon and ebay. If present simple press the Remove button against the add-on name.

If you are unable to find the add-on and want to remove the icons, follow this: Right click on a white space in the navigation toolbar. Select Customize from the menu. A new window will appear. Move the mouse over the Amazon icon, while press the left click drag the icon to the customize window. The icon will move. Do same with other icon. Now your toolbar is free of those icons.

Ruth asks…

How do I make google my opening webpage when I open firefox or internet explorer?

I was tinkering with my firefox settings (ignorantly) and changed something major accidentally. My browser is mostly white now, but still functional. Some images do not appear at all however, and this is quite problematic. Is there anyway to go back to the original settings?

Your Questions About Facebook Login

Mandy asks…

How can I combine or delete my yahoo accts?

I couldn’t remember my original acct. password or answer to one of my security questions. I opened another acct. and another by accident. My original is my Facebook login, I just stayed logged in. I want to keep my original yahoo acct, what steps do I take to clear up such a mess

Michelle answers:

Hi Mark,

Although we cannot merge your Yahoo! Accounts, we can help you to regain access to your old account. You mention that you used Facebook to log in, which means that you would have to click “log in with Facebook” on the sign in page and enter your Facebook username and password to sign in. To get help with your password for an OpenID account created with Facebook, you will need to contact Facebook support.

If your account was created with Facebook, but was then upgraded to a full Yahoo! Account with a Yahoo! ID and password, then I suggest contacting our email support team for more assistance. They will be able to gather some additional details about the issue, and try to verify your account to provide you with password assistance. Please go to this URL:

http://io.help.yahoo.com/contact/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD_ACCT&page=contact

Please submit a request on this issue by selecting Yahoo! Accounts as the product, password and sign in as the category, and unable to sign in as the subcategory.

Note: Be sure to completely fill out the help form so that the support team has all of the information necessary to assist you.

I hope this helps!

Daniel asks…

How to get rid of facebook login?

Yahoo keeps trying to get me to link my answers account with my facebook profile. How do I stop this annoying popup appearing?

Michelle answers:

Just above the “Submit” button there is a line that asks if you want to share this update to Facebook. Uncheck that box and you’re golden.

Susan asks…

Why will the Facebook login page not load?

When I try to get on Facebook, both by typing the web address in or going to the site via Google, the page is just white. There is no Facebook banner or picture and the page says it has loaded. I am on Firefox on my laptop at the moment, I downloaded Chrome and the page loads fine on that.
I have cleared my Cache after someone suggested that but nothing has worked. I can’t recall any updates or changes I have done that would cause it, I first noticed it after my iPad had been connected to my laptop whether there is any correlation?
It only seems to be Facebook that has the problem; I tried Twitter, Youtube and ebay and they’re fine.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Michelle answers:

If it loads fine on your chrome but not on your firefox, it only means browser issue — reset would be one of the basic things you can do — but if it does not work — try uninstalling/reinstalling firefox

John asks…

I’m using firefox. When i start it, it opens few sites, but after 2 mins, it stops responding and starts again?

I’ve been using all versions of firefox. This problem started after the 9th version. I start the firefox. I type in a address, it opens it. If i try other address, it doesn’t open it for 2 mins. But after 2 mins, it starts working normally. For ex: i go to facebook, i login. It logs in but doesn’t load all the images, text, etc. But after 2 mins when i refresh, it starts working normally.

Please please help me solve this irritative problem.

Michelle answers:

Firefox problems, use chrome with wot & ad block plus

Your Questions About Forever 21

Ken asks…

If I wear a size 2 in American Eagle pants what size would I wear in Forever 21?

Asked a similar question to this. I got an clear answer for the shirts. But never go a clear answer for What size I would wear in Forever 21 if I wear a size 2 in American Eagle.Thanks, btw I can’t go to the store because I live in a small Town and the closest one Is Albuquerque.

Michelle answers:

American Eagle pants are similar to Forever 21 pants so you would probably still wear a size 2 and if you do order them offline and they don’t fit you can send them back and re-order them. Good Luck!
?Jes?

Mandy asks…

Laura asks…

How do i figure out what size jeans I would wear at forever 21?

I wear a size 0 in everything, sometimes a 0 is even too big, but I am about 5″3.
So what size jeans would i wear at a store like forever 21?
I have never used those increments of measurements before.

Michelle answers:

Ok so go into the store and try the jeans on…i no im a genius

Lizzie asks…

If I wear a 26 in pants at forever 21, what size would I be at Hollister?

The 25 at forever 21 fits but is sometimes a it short, and 26 is sometimes a bit wide because I’m tall and thin. So what pants size would I be in Hollister?

Thanks in advanced. I’m ordering a pair of pants online, so I can’t try it on.

Those sizes at forever 21 are SO annoying. Just get regular sizes ugh! But your a 0 or 1.

Your Questions About Fox News

Carol asks…

Is it weird that Fox News started reporting on gas prices after a memo from the RNC came out?

I watch Fox News all the time because I think it’s hilarious. I love seeing Doucey make a fool of himself. Did anybody see when he held up a memo from the RNC saying that “right-wing pundits” should deflect talk about the recovery with increasing gas prices?

Fox News pundits are so stupid, that they don’t realize that televising that they get their talking points directly from the Republican party is a no-no in journalism.

Michelle answers:

I got the news from that big sign in front of the gas station.

Mark asks…

Why are Conservatives always quoting from Fox News?

Fox News is technically an “enterntainment network” and NOT real news. Everyone knows this. They are clearly biased and lack jounalistic integrity, they don’t even try to cover up how slanted they are. So why are Conservatives always citing Fox News as the source of their info?

Michelle answers:

Because fox news tells them what they want to hear.

Susan asks…

Do you watch Fox News every day and if so, do you think Obama was born in the US?

Also, if you watch Fox News frequently, do you have a college degree from a reputable school?

I have a theory there is strong correlation between these two variables.
Haha @ Cricket. You’re not fooling anyone. We know you’re unemployed and never attended a college in the top 50. I don’t care if you went to some second rate POS school.

Michelle answers:

I would never watch Fox News after seeing this video dpcumentarty:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6737097743434902428#

I KNOW that President Obama was born in the USA because I know how to use the Internet.

http://www.factcheck.org/askfactcheck/has_obamas_birth_certificate_been_disclosed.html

Helen asks…

Is anyone else tired of the Democrats playing the Fox News broken record over and over?

Its very simple if you don’t like Fox News don’t watch it.

Its about like Palin obsession way overdone to the point of desperation.

Michelle answers:

The anti-Fox strategy makes zero sense considering that (a) the public thinks the media is too liberal, which Fox uses to frame itself as a needed corrective, and (b) Fox’s most high-profile competition, such as it is, spent a fair chunk of the Bush years screaming about fascism and insisting that Roger Ailes runs a more dangerous organization than Osama Bin Laden. Not a good match-up. I assume the Fox-baiting is simply red meat they’re throwing to liberals to try to take the heat off on Afghanistan and “don’t ask, don’t tell,” but when even the Nation’s telling them to stop whining, the move to Plan B can’t be long in coming.

Your Questions About Fafsa

Thomas asks…

How do I go about filling this fafsa info out?

I did my fafsa and I used my mother information but I put that I wasnt going to file but I had to go make the correction saying I was going to file. How do I go about filling my information out when I do file my taxes?

I only made 2,387 will that change the amount of money I will be receiving my EFC is 834 based on my mother’s information.

Michelle answers:

Go to the fafsa website and click on : “STEP 3, Make corrections to a processed fafsa” and enter in the correct info.
Good luck

Charles asks…

Do you ahve to be enrolled in the college before FAFSA sends you an award letter?

I filled out my FAFSA months ago, and have not heard anything. I am planning on going to school in the Fall but I am not yet enrolled at the college. Do I have to enroll before I hear anything from FAFSA?

Michelle answers:

Ilove:

The answer is “yes”, because you’re misunderstanding how the process works.

When you complete your FAFSA, you are submitting that application to the US Department of Education. That organization does two things with your FAFSA – they determine whether you are eligible for the federal student aid program, and they calculate a special financial aid index known as the Expected Family Contribution score. The Department of Education is NOT responsible for making a financial aid offer.

When you complete the FAFSA, you will identify schools that you want the Department to send your calculated EFC score to. When your application is evaluated, and your EFC is assessed, they will send you a notification called your Student Aid Report, and they’ll send all of those schools a document called the Institutional Student Information Report. What you (and the school) will find in that report is your calculated Expected Family Contribution score.

The financial aid office at each school will take that EFC score and use it to compare your financial aid need to the need of all of the other aid applicants at that school. This is how they’re able to determine what forms of aid you are qualified to receive, and how they determine how much they can offer you.

When your school has put together a financial aid package for you, they’ll send you an aid offer letter, which tells you all about the aid they can provide for you, and details all of the instructions on what you’ll need to do to accept and finalize that aid.

So – yes and no. You don’t need to be enrolled in a college, but you do need to have selected your school, and asked the Department to forward your EFC score to that school. Keep in mind that some schools will not make students a financial aid offer until the student has accepted their admissions offer. These schools argue that they can not distribute their limited aid effectively until they know which students will be attending. Other schools will make an aid offer to all accepted applicants, knowing that many students are waiting to hear what kind of aid they’re going to receive, so that they can choose between multiple schools.

If you’ve been accepted to more than one school, you may want to contact the financial aid office at each school, and ask them if they will make an aid offer to you before you have actually accepted your admissions offer.

I hope that helps you – good luck to you in school!

Donald asks…

Will my Fafsa be counted late if i went back to make a correction after the deadline?

I submitted my fafsa a month before the deadline. i submitted it with the income tax estimate. My parents barely did their taxes and they won’t be available to use by the IRS retrieval tool for about a month. Will my fafsa be counted late if I submit the corrected financial information a month after the march 2nd deadline?

Submitted 2/12/13
processed 2/20/13
Wont submit corrections until the end of march.

Michelle answers:

You were smart to submit anyway and should be able to update the information.

You can check on the FAFSA website: http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/deadlines.htm

Linda asks…

What info regarding my federal financial aid history can be seen by colleges not listed on my FAFSA?

Is it possible for universities to access my Finaid history without explicit permission from me (by entering their OPEID in my FAFSA and signing electronically)? I understand that there would be no ISIR issued to them without my having submitted a FAFSA, but could a record of my previous aid be legitimately accessed through systems such as the NSLDS, or SAIG, regardless of that?

I intend to apply for admission to a different university and “start over,” but this is one detail I’ve had difficulty confirming… Based on my research so far, I believe that the only legitimate reason for accessing this information, which is protected by FERPA laws, is to verify eligibility for future federal aid (because it is limited). This mean that if I don’t apply for FSA, I probably will not have to worry about a university stumbling upon info about unmentioned previously attended schools.

However, I wonder if it would still be too risky to apply for institutional funding via the CSS Profile application while declining to submit the FAFSA as both of these applications are likely reviewed by the same department (the school’s office of financial aid) and could draw unwanted attention to me. Any thoughts? I realize that starting over means I will probably have to pay for all of my own tuition and this is a huge sacrifice.

Michelle answers:

If you have not included the school’s code on your FAFSA, the school would need to obtain your Data Release Number (DNR) from you in order to access it. They could access your previous history in NSLDS, but if you are not applying for federal financial aid, they would have no reason to do that because, from their point of view, it has no bearing on anything.

However, most schools that use the CSS Profile will require that you also complete the FAFSA, even if you do not intend to accept the aid. Since the Profile is primarily used to award institutional aid, they’re going to want to know if you were eligible for federal grants ( and sometimes even loans) that can be applied to your need before they part with their own money. So, if you want the institutional aid that comes from the Profile, you’re probably going to have to give them access to your FAFSA, and they will most likely check your history in NSLDS.

It would be a good idea to come clean about whatever issues you had at your previous school. FA and admissions people get pretty good at detecting when a student isn’t telling them the whole story. It could be that whatever the problem was won’t affect you at all. But if it does, then it’s better to know that now than find yourself getting expelled later because your application was fraudulent.

Sandy asks…

Can anyone tell me what school supplies I need to home school my sixth grader?

We have a very low income. Last year I homeschooled him for the first 9 weeks of the year and used this book I have called “Home Learning Year by Year”, which I still will be using, a few second hand A Becka books (don’t have any now that are grade appropriate), and (mostly) a lot of library books and videos. I also copied worksheets out of one particular library book with a copy machine at the library. I need to do this as cheaply as humanly possible, and other than the limited guidelines my book gives me I have no idea about curriculum and worksheets and such. We are in Tx, in case that matters. I also will need something to help him practice times tables (he forgets them all over again whenever he goes longer than a week w/ out practicing, and to help him practice the names and capitals of states. I had flashcards for those things, but can’t find them now. He is behind his grade level, which is why I want to homeschool. Last year he caught up a LOT after the 9 wks homeschool.
P.S. Last year I would have homeschooled him all year, but finances forced me to go back to work, and I was already attending college. I’ve found that I can do any two of the following three; homeschool, work, college, but not all three at the same time.
O.K. There are too many really great answers for me to pick just one, so I am putting it to a vote! I can’t choose one w/ out feeling like I shortchanged the others!

Some of these are free and some are just reasonably priced. There may be a few that are geared toward younger kids, I think I weeded them out of the list, but I might have missed a few.

Jenny asks…

Do you know of any free good site for printing out home work sheets for the kg2 level children?

Michelle answers:

I answered a question about this the other day, and did a lot of hunting for the answer. Instead of hunting it all down again I thought I’d just paste the answer in:

Often you can’t get it all in one place if you want it totally free. The library is a wonderful resource though.

Try http://oldfashionededucation.com/index.html there are links to lots of sites.

Also consider spending the small fee for enchanted learning
http://www.enchantedlearning.com

One site that has some neat free activities is:
http://www.starfall.com

You might want to try checking out this website:

OOOH! Here is another I just found, again, completely free as far as I can tell, I didn’t run into anything I couldn’t access:
http://www.lessonplanspage.com/about.html

One more site, the goal of which is to provide a free emergency curriculum for homeschoolers who find themselves in a financial bind:
http://dorioakes.bravehost.com/index.html

*******One last edit. If you really want to homeschool nearly free, don’t look on-line for a complete curriculum for each grade level. Instead, figure out what you want to teach and look specifically for worksheets on that. For example, you decide your first grader should learn about the solar system, go the sites with free worksheets and search for all the information on the solar system. I did that for my 1st grader and I have over 50 pdf files sitting on my computer waiting to be used, all free.

If you need a guideline to know what topics to look search out for each grade, go to http://www.worldbook.com/wb/Students?curriculum and follow those guidelines.

Also, be sure to use your local library, often you can even find complete workbooks on math and things like that. Just cover the pages with a plastic sheet protector and let your kid use a wet erase marker to write on the plastic cover rather than the page.
