Can we DRAMATICALLY change the way campaign contributions are used?

I threw $100 in the kitty. Seriously -- She only needs $5,000. This is chump change for redditors -- let's make this happen!

Call the hospitals and ask! In my experience (4 surgeries, 2 additional hospital admissions), the smaller Maryland hospitals are cheaper, but the expertise of doctors is generally better at the big teaching hospitals.

Check out Holy Cross or Washington Adventist in Silver Spring. Howard U and Washington Hospital Center are both well versed in non-insured patients, so call them as well.

GWU saved my life, but damn expensively. (Same idea at Georgetown).

I've personally received services at all six, those are the ones i can speak to. Hope this helps. Good luck & speedy recovery!

I'm knee-jerk angry about this, but wonder if anyone has the scoop as to what's going on -- does the administration have a reason? Any Gainesville Redditors that can shed some light?

You're welcome! I hope you raise enough for the Boston trip - keep us updated! You could also repost in r/education and r/pics to get a bit more visibility. Good luck!

Great idea! My donation is in. What happens to the money if you not raise enough to go?

OP, you mentioned on Google+ that you have a list of names, but no roommate assignments. That list of names is a huge help. Look up as many names as you can on Facebook, Google, LinkedIn. When you find someone, message them with a copy of the picture. If they were there at the same time, they might be able to recall additional information (name, hometown, etc.) that will help you find your roommate. Even better, they might know exactly who he is! Good luck!

So it could be called needlepoint instead of cross-stitch, but this non-cross stitch (straight stitch or back stitch) is used in "cross stitch" for outlining and writing. It's sorta like how we call tissue Kleenex. Most needlepoint gets called cross-stitch even if cross-stitch isn't one of the stitches used on the project.

Source: grew up in the Midwest. Crafts are mandatory.

I realized I was looking at ~~knitting.~~

sewing, or more specifically cross-stitch.

Take the metro. Car traffic is awful in DC and the red line will take you from DuPont to Rockville faster than driving. An hour commute is normal in the city - I live and work in DC and my commute is 45 minutes across town.

Buy a kindle and read on the metro, play angry birds on your phone or read the Express each day.

It would cost you $70/day to rent a zipcar -- they are awesome for quick trips or heavy loads though.

Absolutely going to talk to an accountant. Thanks

Yea, there's no immediate financial incentive for me to close one way or the other -- just wondering about the tax year.

At this point, I think I've maxed out on the closing costs that can be paid by [not me] through my loan, but thanks!

Tedesco?

Edit: sir dimos beat me to it. This is a family surname, and when I lived in Italy, I was so confused trying to find relatives when everyone I asked kept saying stuff about Germany. Finally, someone figured it out and clued me in.

Totally!

Thanks. Me too! I probably won't take a full breath until the keys are in my hands, but having the money figured out is huge! :)

You totally can. The pic is by Alex Ruiz, and it's available here: http://fineartamerica.com/featured/starry-night-alex-ruiz.html. If you want just the sky, email the artist. I bought this print on canvas for my bedroom after emailing w/ him. It's awesome.
