Your Questions About Fafsa

George asks…

How do I apply for fafsa living in my car?

I want to go to school, yet, I live in my car. I’ve heard about Financial Aid, and Fafsa, but how would I go about trying to get that Financial Aid when I live in my car?

Jack answers:

What’s the mailing address on your tax returns? Use that address. They won’t be sending you anything in the mail anyway. The FAFSA documentation is all handled on-line.

If that doesn’t work, get a PO box. They cost less than 20 dollars per month. You should really have a stable mailing address anyway.

Sharon asks…

How do you fill out your fafsa when your financial situation has changed?

How am I supposed to fill out my fafsa information for the next school year when my financial situation is not the same as it is on my taxes for last year. I was recently laid off my job and the only income we have now is my husbands, do I still fill it out as I normally would with my last years tax information?

Jack answers:

PBE:

The FAFSA application process does not provide any type of allowance for “changed circumstances”, but your school’s financial aid office will.

When you complete the FAFSA, you must provide the exact information requested – for the exact time period specified. In other words, where the form asks for information about your 2008 tax returns, you’ll have to respond with the information, exactly as it was filed.

HOWEVER….

Financial aid officers are all permitted to make adjustments to a student’s aid offer if the student is able to document that his/her FAFSA application is no longer representative of their current economic circumstances.

Typical “changed circumstances” situations include:

Layoff of the student and/or the spouse or parent(s)
Illness or injury
Disability
Hurricane, flood, tornado or earthquake damage

Complete the FAFSA as normal – but contact financial aid, and ask them what you need to do to make a changed circumstances appeal. I can’t promise that they will make changes to your offer, but I can guarantee you that they will certainly consider it.

Good luck to you – I hope this helps you and good luck on the job front, too!

James asks…

How soon does the school or FAFSA send your financial aid award if you applied on time but needed to?

How soon does the school or FAFSA send your financial aid award if you applied on time but needed to clear up a problem with the department of education, if you cleared up the problem about 2 days ago. The school is now only waiting for an academic plan to be filled out and then they said the financial aid file will be complete , so when should they send out the financial aid award?

Jack answers:

You need to ask this question of the Financial Aid Office. Each Financial Aid Office has a different timetable when financial aid awards will be processed.

William asks…

Do i need to reapply for FAFSA if I want the information sent to an additional school?

I efiled the FAFSA application (The application for federal student financial aid). I intended to have the information sent to one school- but since the application, have decided on a different grad school.. To have the results of my FAFSA sent to a different college , do I need to reapply for FAFSA from scratch?

Jack answers:

No. Once you have filed the FAFSA for a particular year, you cannot file another one. It will simply tell you that you already have one on file.

If you need to make changes to your FAFSA after you have filed it, including adding a new school, you can go to www.fafsa.ed.gov to make corrections to an already processed FAFSA. The link will be under Section 3 of the home page. You will need your PIN to access your application and submit the correction. If you have lost or forgotten your PIN, you can obtain it again at www.pin.ed.gov by clicking on “Request Duplicate PIN.”

You can include up to 10 schools on your FAFSA.

Richard asks…

What happens if you miss the fafsa deadline?

So tomorrow is the deadline for the fafsa, but when i went to fill it out today i had to change my pin #. Then when i logged back in it said it would take 3 days before i can use my new pin, which means i will miss the fafsa deadline. So what exactly does that mean? Can i still apply for scholorships and grants if my fafsa is late? Can i still sign up for classes? Or am i completely screwed? Please help!

Jack answers:

It means you don’t get your money unless you talk to the federal aid reps at the college you’ve chosen and ask them for an extension which they may give for you.

Your Questions About E Dog Training

Daniel asks…

I am looking for resources on how to “reform” a puppy mill rescue, can you help?

I adopted a 4 yo female Brussels Griffon puppy mill rescue. She had 7 litters in her 4 years, never left a cage (unless to breed or for cleaning). I have had her for little over a month. Overall she is doing great, but as she is relaxing a feeling safer, coming into her own, so-to-speak, she is becoming aggressive in certain situations, i.e., if she is on my lap and another dog, child, tries to snuggle with me too. I put her on the floor immediately when this happens, but she’s done it several times now. She also growled at me today when I tried to put drops in her ears. I think I am going to have to muzzle her and make her deal with the jealousy thing. I have looked for a book or some comprehensive resource, like a dog training book, that deals with puppy mill rescues. I had to actually teach her how to ascend and descend stairs, yesterday she had her first walk in the rain. She is much like having a puppy, but not quite. I am especially having a hard time housebreaking her, crate training is NOT the way to go since she has no problem pooping and peeing where she eats and sleeps. Thank you in advance for all leads.

Jack answers:

Training, training, training!

Get to an obedience class! If she’s sitting and staying in place, she can’t also be aggressive. Give her a job to do, or she’ll make her own. Www.akc.org, and search the site for “obedience clubs” there’s a search by state option and find one near you. The best (and generally cheapest) classes will be there.

On housebreaking, tether her to you — use a leash and click it on your belt loop. Where you go, she goes. See signs of sniffing, circling, get her outside. Praise and goodies for going outside. Nothing for going inside.

She’ll do fine with some intensive work

Lizzie asks…

What type of Aggression is this?

I own an German Shepherd Cross. He is 1 year old. Ever since he was 7 months old I have been having a problem with him. He doesn’t like strangers. I have constantly socialized him to people and animals. He loves dogs…just not people. I do not know if it is fear aggression or Dominence aggression. If someone he doesn’t know approaches him…he raises his ears, hackles stand, he is stiff and his tail is up…once they go to pet him…he barks aggressivley at them and backs away. If they persist he will snap. What can I do to stop this. I have tried all types of training….used all the trainers in the area (they are all clueless on dog training)….I have used Prongs..Chokes…nylon collars….I am currently trying to use an E-collar. I have tried gently coaxing him to greet the people…he wants nothing to do with them. I am lost on what to do. Yet if you come over and sit on my couch and feed him treats for 30 minutes…he will be your best friend. People can just look at me and talk and he will bark. Any suggestions>?
He is neutered.

Jack answers:

Never use prong collars on dogs with agression problems. They often increase the dog’s drive and make things worse. And you cannot coax aggression out of a dog. You have to train him more diligently. First of all, he needs to learn that you are the boss but you can’t do this by hitting or yelling.

If you know the breeder, ask about the personalities of your dog’s parents. Aggressive tendencies can be inherited.

Check out Cesar Milan’s dvd on aggression in dogs and see how he handles it but then you may still need to consult with a dog behaviorist and not just a regular dog training class.

Good luck.

Mary asks…

What should I do next????????

I’ve gone out this girl four times, and she recently canceled our fifth date. We’ve actually been chatting online, texting, and talking on the phone for over six months. In fact, we had been communicating in some way nearly every day. It’s always seemed like we had a really good connection and have had some deep conversations. She has definitely always seemed interested and always had been quick to respond when I called or sent a text. We’d gone out four time in the past couple months and had always seemed to have a very good time together and had good conversation. Then last Sunday, we had planned to go out again, and that morning, she mysteriously canceled on me, through a text message rather than calling me. She never really gave me a reason, other than to say that she was “busy”. We’d talked the day before to set up plans, and it was a pretty good conversation, so I can’t imagine I said anything to turn her off. After she canceled, I sent a message asking if anything was wrong and if she wanted to talk again. She replied the next day in an e-mail saying she just meant she was busy, and nothing more, and that “maybe we’d talk some other time”. That was Tuesday, and now it’s Saturday and i haven’t heard anything from her since. I’ve also noticed that I can’t view her wall posts on Facebook anymore, although I’m still on her friends list. (Then again, she might have blocked it for everybody). She said earlier she’s been hurt by her last boyfriend and didn’t want to rush into anything yet and was still only looking for “friends”, although I have a feeling she didn’t really mean that and would like to get to know me better. I really want to text her something innocent that doesn’t show her I’m pressuring her. My friend says I should wait two weeks, but I don’t know if that’s a good idea. She’s also said that she likes guys to be aggressive. So I don’t know if I should contact her soon, or just wait till I hear back from her, which may never happen.

We haven’t communicated since Tuesday, so I thought it would be OK if I sent her a text today. She actually asked me about dog training, since we both have dogs, and I found an obedience school close to where she lives. So I just told her about it in the text. Nothing serious about our relationship or anything, but I thought that would let her know I’m thinking about her and that I’m the type of person who will always be willing to help. She actually replied 15 minutes later with a simple “cool, thanks!” I guess it’s a good sign that she replied, but I’m not sure how to proceed next. Should I even reply? What should I say if I do?f

Jack answers:

Basically, you want to avoid rushing in. She got hurt by her last boyfriend, so you want to give a bit of space. It’s more of an unspoken issue of trust. She’s still hurt deep down, and it takes time to heal that wound. So you have to stick with her until she opens up to you, and trust me, all you have to have is patience. If you’re serious about her, you need to understand that she needs time to find out that you aren’t like her ex boyfriend, but you are someone that will care for her. So just wait. The time will arise; so don’t worry about it.

Mandy asks…

Why haven’t I heard from her?

I’ve gone out this girl four times, and she recently canceled our fifth date. We’ve actually been chatting online, texting, and talking on the phone for over six months.

Jack answers:

I think texting her about the dog training thing is definitely a good idea. It sounds like you’re just being friendly and there is no pressure there and texting after several days about something completely unrelated will not be pushy or needy.
Only she can tell you what happened and what changed, but I would hold off on talking about it.
Just be friends with her for now, make her feel comfortable around you. Maybe after a while you can ask her what happened…

Your Questions About E Dog Night

Steven asks…

Ever get dumped because someone chose a relationship with a dog over one with you?

Last year my bf of two years broke up with me because of conflict we were having around his six year old schnauzer-terrier mix. First, let me say that I grew up with a dog and have many friends with dogs that have much healthier relationships with their dogs, so I am not anti-dog. The problem was that I think my ex suffered a lot of trauma as a kid (one instance involving his father taking away a dog his mother had gotten for him) and as an adult, had some difficult, lonely periods before we met. The dog became his ‘buddy’ and he humanized it in some ways – I think he thought of the dog as a guardian angel. As such, he allowed it to be a literal lapdog and really indulged it.

The dog would constantly vie for attention and didn’t seem calm when I was around. He would have accidents with us sitting 10 feet away, even though he got walked all the time. My ex did try to go Cesar Milan on the dog, but he made me feel like I was a bad person for asking for the dog to be better behaved & trained. While we were on vacation (mind you, just like a 4 or 5 day trip) we would be in a fab global city or beach and he would remark how much he missed his dog amongst comments about how he was having a good time with me (kind of mixed signal, if you will). I don’t mind him thinking about the dog, but when you’re in Argentina having supposedly a new wonderful adventure for a few days, you shouldn’t miss your dog THAT much, right? Further, the dog was so indulged with walks and doggie day care, that at night/weekends when my bf & I were together, the dog would be taken out for a walk every 4 hours (presumably my ex said the dog just had a small bladder), so it really cramped our ability to go out (i.e. always on a schedule…even dinner & a movie could be a challenge if the movie was long!)

In every other respect, we had great friendship, good physical connection, a lot of common friends and a lot of love. My ex said he would never choose his dog over me, but he decided one day that I was not compatible with his dog and he broke up with me. I have been devastated ever since.

To an extent, I was willing to go to counseling together and even try to work myself on tolerating the dog misbehavior better (or just retraining it myself!)…but fundamentally, my only concern was that my ex loved the dog more than me. I “felt” it throughout our relationship, and him breaking up with me over the fights about the dog just solidified that my perceptions were accurate. My poor ex really does have baggage from his past and I understand and accept that about him. I still love the guy with all my heart. I just wish he could have seen how he projected his issues with humans in his past into this relationship with the dog, so that he could work on himself and the dog, and that we could have co-existed happily together. Anyone have this happen on my side of things? Anyone be the dog owner and break up with someone that can offer advice? Please tell me human life and love are worth just a little more than an animal’s?

Jack answers:

No, but I have been dumped because someone chose their relationship with their mother over me. He was a mummy’s boy.

Paul asks…

would u feel like your rights as a individual were taking if ordered to drug test over a dog ticket?

I was arrested at my house for not showing up to court on this paticular monday, I simply made a mistake and thought it was for tuesday they come in ready to taser me at 9:30 at night when I am trying to lay down my dish towel and get my shoes they charge m,e for resisting arrest, and they hold me on 3 thousand sollar cash only warrent for a 3 citations of my dogs running at large when I get to court on thursday they set bail at 1500 dollars and order me to take drug testing 3 times a week. I have nmever been so dumb founded in my kife I refuse to take any tests not that i am hiding something it is the pure fact that i feel that there isa no reasoning behide it allo I feel that i have rights there have been nmo drug related crimes. what do i do to protect myself from such harrasment?

Jack answers:

Drug tests for a dog ticket are illegal since the offense committed was not related to drugs. File a motion to contest the court order.

Maria asks…

How long does it take for arm hair to grow out?

Last night I shaved my arms. I’m 14, and my parents don’t know. Today in P.E. I hurt my wrist, but I’m scared they’ll get mad if I tell them. And my wrist hurts really badly when I try to stand up, and support myself, or when I pick up my 7 pound dog.

Jack answers:

About 2 weeks or more. And how does your wrist fit into all this? Last I checked it’s not even near our armpits.

Jenny asks…

Nightshifters! How do you sleep to keep your body running in good order?

I work mainly 7pm-7am, and during the row of days that I work the shifts, I go home and into bed around 7:30am and wake up around 11:30am. Then I take care of a couple things, like walking my dog, eating brunch, bills, light cardio/weight training, e-mail, yaddiyaddiyadda, and then take a nap from about 3:30pm to 6:30pm. That gives me a total of around 7 hours. Hey it’s not good quality sleep, but circaedian studies say you can split your daily sleeping time if you need to. On days that I’m off, I’d rather sleep the entire day but I sometimes stay up the entire day after getting off at 8am to tire myself to sleep at a normal night hour. Anyone want to chime in with their 2 cents? I’m willing to try alternatives.

Jack answers:

When I was a night shift worker, I basically lived a reverse life. I know they say you can split your sleep, but I never found that worked for me. I did like the rest of the world does when they get off work- I came home and ate my dinner when the rest of the country was eating cornflakes. By the time I had a shower and changed, I was ready for the sack. If I had errands that just had to be done, I did them in the morning, and came home to go to sleep so I could get in an 8 hour stretch. I just ate my breakfast when I got up, again- eating my cornflakes while the neighbors had their dinner. I stuck with the routine even on my days off, which actually worked out pretty good when I went out dancing with friends. Unlike them, I could sleep the next day away without feeling guilty about it. I tended to do shopping on the days off as well, taking advantage of the grocery that was open 24/7, and late night hours at the mall. It would be even easier now, with so many places open all hours, and the internet to shop with. I never stayed up all day to try to do a night sleep because it always left me feeling like doody the next day, and my clock all messed up the first day back at work. I knew people who tried to live a “normal” schedule on days off, but never knew anyone who honestly pulled it off and didn’t feel ragged. So my advice to nightshift workers is just to live backwards. Your neighbors may think you are a vampire, but as long as you don’t start looking the part, you do okay.

Carol asks…

How to tell the kids our beloved dog is dying?

Our dog Magic is 17 years old…so his days are limited. I had him at the vets today for his vaccines and the vet said we’d be lucky to get 3 months out of Magic. Magic is a very special dog. My Ex-husband got him for me on our 1st anniversary, the same day I found out I was pregnant with our 1st. And the kids don’t know life without him. They adore Magic, he’s there everyday to greet them when they come home from school, he sleeps on one of their beds every night, and he’s just such a special dog. He’s been there for them during the divorce, they’ve been through a lot. And I notice the kids like to talk to him, especially our son Gabe (11). Words can’t even begin describe Magic. All the bizarre things he’s done, all the amazing things he’s done. He saved Gabriel from drowning at the beach, and he used to let Charlie ride on his back like a horse, and when my son Evan fell off his bike and broke his arm, Magic raised the alarm, and he followed us to the hospital by following the car. And sat outside A&E until Evan had his cast and was ready to go home.
Magic isn’t your ordinary dog, So telling the kids will break their hearts. They are 16, 14, 11 & 9.

I honestly don’t know how to tell them. Thank you
Trolling, our family pet is dying & you accuse me of trolling???

I need genuine help, I know the kids will take this hard. Maybe the explaining wont be so hard for the 2 older ones. But the younger 2 will take it hard. Especially my 11yr old Gabe. He loves Magic to pieces. And I don’t think he realizes just how old Magic is.
I talk to my kids all the time. I just don’t know what to say to them

Bella, a top contributor badge doesn’t give you the right to be ignorant!

Jack answers:

If your kids are even moderately intelligent (they must take after the other parent) they’ve already figured out the average life expectancy of a dog and know that the end is coming soon. I’m sure he’s had failings that are tell tale about an animals age. The cats out of the bag poster, but nice try trolling though. You should try actually talking to each other once in a while. Hard to believe that people are so devoid of common sense.
