    aussie, you get a certain amount of rides depending on how far from the school you live. how many busses you need to take...

    yes, hes buried in the showcase at the bakery. ;)

    aussie: the metrocard is not unlimited! you get 2 rides there & 2 rides back for way home! so if someone else uses it, then on the way home, you may not be able to use it then!

    Makes smalltalk with the two most sandy ectoplasmic beings on Earth (not to mention the Man on the Moon).

    Jax, I'm surprised, you never gave the impression of being around for so long. Personally, I've been thinking about writing a column called "I remember when Arnold Fine was in diapers", but I don't know if Mishpacha will go for it.

    good, good. someone just sent me a whole long email that by the BY convention people openly admitted to knowing people they shouldnt. and they said they would reduce their hanging out to once a week/month... maybe theres some hope.

    btw, would you...by any chance...be trying to avoid me on the shmooze thread? :)

    you?

    That's good to hear;)

    no, not avoiding you, I tried talking to you last night but there were no mods and I don't like talking to no one so I went to sleep, sorry.

    I'm good, thanx:}

    Now that you're here: Being a mentor involves a one year commitment to spend one hour a week with your kid. The point is not to "straighten her out," or, "knock some sense into her head." The point is that the kid should have a strong, trusting relationship with a good role-model whom she will want to respect. Aside for spending time with your kid, every week you have to write a brief report and speak to a YES staff member. Hope this helps.

    I thought I replied... must be early senility setting in...

    It sounds good, question: how much time is involved? Do I have to meet them very often or is it like a normal relationship?

    I think its gonna be best to let the idea rest at least for a few weeks. This is the best devised system to date. ;)

    anonymisss?!?!?! I need more moral support.

    I just saw my neighbor who I didnt see in a looooong time. There were issues in the family and she wasnt in school for a little bit (probably academic) she did not look good. :(

    kapusta, about the metrocard issue, in our school we were told that metrocards cannot be used on vacation. Say, on chol hamoed you decide to go somewhere via the MTA, even though the student card would work, it should not be used since the card is given to you so you can get to school and back. It would be considered stealing to use it for your own benefit. It would therefore seem wrong to me to lend it to your friend since technically the city does not allow it. And just btw, I believe you are given 3 rides a day (excluding transfers, obviously) on the card. At least that was the way it went in my days.
    Hope this helped. Oh. And good luck handling your neighbor.

    mepal, thanx. Thats what I though, but I feel funny saying no because technically no one is losing money, they're just not making any. You get 3 or 5 rides a day depending on how far you live from school. I dont think I will be handling my neighbor, I saw her and it really hurt me, she looked terrible physically, and she looked terrible in the way she was dressed. Something must be done. NOW.

    ouch, it's really painful to see such a drastic change, I don't know what's going to be with these kids. They're everywhere!

    kapusta, don't know where my post got lost, I did answer before.

    about the mentoring: It all depends on your kid, but you will be coached by Project YES.

    yossi z.: how about in Bedford Stuyvesant-not the best of neighborhoods, but they need lots of members & accept people pretty quickly unlike the ways some other places do the hiring! and you really really get great training there! cases are really interesting and you'll learn a lot from there! there's Senior Care & Transcare that do transport from nursing homes & places like that!?
